Let me start by saying this is my favorite dedication ever, "For my family who will never read this". I thought that was hilarious.
Georgia Presley Henry is so southern peach I almost got a cavity- until drum roll..Knox, Finn and Lachlan entered the picture and turned the extra sweet to spicy, three very hot Scotsman. I like that the characters where all a little lost and hurting and not just there for the burning sheets. I truly enjoyed everything about this book, the story is so well developed and all the characters have beautifully wounded individual personalities, and yes there is a lot of sex scenes but that what erotica is. This book definitely hit its mark (no pun intended), I look forward to reading Darcie's story. Also it would be nice to see a part two to this story a few years down the road where their keeping it spicy while balancing parenthood ( hint, hint). I'm definitely going to be adding Lily Manning to my Goodreads and Amazon ( maybe I'll hide it from my family though. P.S. for those that might say this is totally unrealistic, it's called every women's fantasy.

Making Her Theirs by Lily Manning
ARC Rating 5/5 ⭐️
Devoured. DEVOURED. Gah, this was so delicious.
'Home, I’ve found my home.'
This was a contemporary RH romance story that was fast-paced and full of spice.
This story follows Georgia, a sweet but strong American who goes to Edinburgh for a 10-day work trip. There, she meets Knox, Finn, and Lachlan, who run a successful pub.
Georgia feels like forever love is not in the cards as she's never been enough. While the brother's childhood trama led them to believe the same.
For such a short, hot, and steamy read, all the characters were still well written.
I really loved how each of them gave each other what they needed to feel loved, happy, and safe.
Loved the HEA and ending 💛 And I can't wait to read the next one in the series!
Thank you, NetGalley, Innes Field LCC, and Lily Manning, for sending this eARC for review. All opinions are my own.
This book is fun. Pure, unadulterated fun - southern peach Georgia is in Scotland for ten days on a business trip, and meets three gorgeous brothers. What follows is a reverse harem situationship where these three very different men have three very different relationships with Georgia. Sure, there is a lot of sex, but I appreciated having three distinct male leads.
Georgia is funny, confident, and down to have fun, but she also sees the bigger picture, and the ending is absolutely perfect. If you are looking for a sexually-adventurous yet tenderhearted story, I recommend Making Her Theirs.

If you're looking for a super quick paced read that will have you clenching your thighs, this is the one for you. The spice was definitely spicy but unfortunately that was the absolute best parts of this book.
I was looking for something with a bit more substance since we were promised a passionate journey and nothing stopping these men to make her theirs. Instead we get woman meets man, and within minutes is getting finger banged in the middle of a crowded bar (which okaaay queen I see you!) and from the beginning shes putty in their hands and drooling over them. There was no time to develop an relationship however less than 10 days they're all in love and she's willing to move across the world to stay with them.
Also, I'm not a big fan of the constant "this man, THIS MAN", "this woman, THIS woman" all I could think of was "that's not a knife, THIS is a knife" and it really killed the mood.
I really enjoyed this novella. I feel like there’s not much I can say without spoiling as it’s so short. However, there was great character and plot development considering the length.
The smut scenes were great and the romance had me swooning.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I’d recommend it to any reverse harem/why choose fans.
I received this as a NetGalley arc.
Honestly, who doesn't love a good reverse harem! Let's just start there, if you're looking for a deep meaningful storyline.....this ain't it, there's moments of a storyline, explanations into the characters background but this story is SPICY.
We meet Georgia who's just arrived in Scotland for a 10 day job training. After losing her luggage and arriving to what was supposed to be a furnished apartment, she decides to head down for a drink at the pub downstairs and meets the owner's Knox and Finn. After some heavy flirting they tag team Georgia in an alley (admiting they share women quite often). Shortly after Georgia returns home and is locked out and ventures to the "super" Lachlan, Knox and Finns younger brother shortly after meeting him she goes to shower and Knox pops by to speak to his little brother not knowing she was there. We learn early on that the boys were abandoned by their parents while they were teens and Knox and Finn basically raised Lachlan who is often recluse and does not talk to many people because he doesn't want to get close to people again to get hurt.
After Knox and Lachlan catch Georgia in an awkward position in the shower, they have their way with her and carry on the tradition of the brothers sharing women, although Knox and Lachlan have never shared a woman. All three men are so enamoured with Georgia, and she with them that they spend the 10 days shes there enjoying their time together. Before she leaves, the men ask her to stay and they'll fly her back and forth to texas whenever she wants, seeing as they all care so deeply about each other.
All and all I enjoyed the spice, I enjoyed the interactions between the characters. All three brothers were so different yet so similar in how they cared/behaved. I would've liked a bit more storyline to get to know the characters a bit more but hopefully in the next book we can learn a bit more.
Georgia Presley Henry travels to Edinburgh, Scotland in the hopes of securing a promotion she has been working for. She rents an apartment above a Pub. On her first night in two she meets three bothers who very quickly decide they want to make her theirs.
This is a very short read. There isn't much plot and very little character development but if you are looking for the spice you will find it here. This reverse harem book is HOT! The love scenes are plentiful, though they are pretty quick sessions. Spice rating 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an advanced reader copy of the E-book in exchange for an honest review.
This was an alright why choose romance. It is taboo with the love interests being all brothers. I liked how they all had their own role and relationship with her. But other than it being a very sexual novella, i didnt find much to it. the southern bell charm added to Georgia’s character, and she was very likable. All the characters were likable. I guess thats why this is 3 stars for me cause everything but the storyline was good
First, I would like to thank the author & NetGalley for the eARC opportunity. Like always, this review is voluntary & honest
OMG, this book is something else. Talk about hot,it is beyond hot
This book is packed with spice. Almost every chapter has something.
The book was fast-paced, and I read in one sitting.
Fantastic plot, character, and world building
I loved how each brother gave her exactly what she was missing and needed.
"Love is depression, suffocation. Never finding your one
Love is darkness, heartache, a bullet in a gun
Love is shit booze and always pushing fate
Love is a horse that is never made in out the gate
Love is a gift given in anger and despair
A life spent broken, gasping for air
Love is a bitter, beautiful, senseless desire
To be loved is an addiction, heartache, a liar.
My want
My need
My ever desire."
“Making Her Theirs” by Lily Manning is a fast-paced, lust-filled adventure that sees Georgia Presley Henry across the Atlantic and into the pub below her newly rented flat, as she travels to Edinburgh on business, after recently securing a new promotion at work. A self-proclaimed numbers/math nerd who shelters her own insecurities about love and worth, Georgia finds herself swept up and in the arms of Scottish brothers Knox and Finn after some heavy flirting at the bar. She ends up in the bed of the third and final brother, Lachlan, by the end of the evening thanks to a faulty keypad on her flat’s door.
The story follows Georgia and the ten days that follow as she spends more time with the three very distinct brothers. Knox, the family protector and guide, is possessive, intense, and knows exactly what he wants. Finn, the charming, sweet, bartender who shares his kitchen favorites with Georgia. And Lachlan, the brooding, quiet “fixer” of the bunch who knows almost immediately he wants to take care of Georgia. The whirlwind romance was almost break-neck in speed and I felt there could have been more character development between all of the spice (which comes a plenty in this book).
I love that the female lead character is smart, intelligent, and kind of a nerd - but that she’s able to connect with and find something she needs in each of the three brothers. I’m not sure how realistic the love arc is, considering she’s only supposed to be in Scotland for 10 days…but hey. If I were in her shoes with three insanely hot brothers in the enchanting land of Scotland, steeped in history and lore, I could very well fall in love in less than a week too, I think. And let’s just say the spice was…consistent and explosive throughout the entire novel.
If you’re looking for your next quick and dirty (and I mean that in the best way possible), check out “Making Her Theirs” by Lily Manning.
This book has everything you want in a why choose romance. Adonis men, immediate spice, and minimal character development off the bat. It’s cool to see a little more in depth later on though. I love that there’s isn’t a third act breakup or any unnecessary drama. It’s straightforward and so H O T. It’s also a super fast read, which is awesome. I liked this!
Holy Spicy! This book is HOT.
Georgia Presley Henry finally gets the promotion she has been working so hard for and as soon as she returns from her work trip to Scotland, she gets to move into the house she bought and make it a home. Her life is looking good from where she’s sitting, even if she is lonely. On her first night in Scotland, she heads to a bar where she meets two gorgeous men. Having been alone for a while she takes advantage of what they are offering and has a night to remember. When she returns to her apartment, she’s locked out. She bangs on the door to her landlord, only for a gorgeous man to open the door. Turns out all three men are brothers and she is in for the trip and of a lifetime.
This book is packed with spice. Almost every chapter has something. Manning writes these scenes well and they definitely were extra hot.
Each brother has a distinct personality and a unique relationship with Georgia, which I love. Knox is possessive without being overbearing. Finn is fun and brings lighthearted banter. Lachlan is soulful and brings the swoony heartfelt moments. Each man helps to balance out the others and I loved the scenes with all three of them, in and out of the bedroom.
Georgia’s chapters were a little annoying to me at first, but got better as they went on. My only drawback with the book would be her voice at times. It felt like she was trying overly hard to be southern.
Overall this was a spicy, fun book with a happy ending that we all needed.
Quick read. Light on the plot and character development. And lots of cheese and smut.
Not for me, but maybe enjoyable to others.
An amazingly spicy RH romance featuring our FMC Georgia and three brothers, Knox, Lachlan and Finn. Honestly I loved all three brothers but Knox was definitely my favourite!
This was a really fun, fast paced read with incredible spice. I'll definitely be looking out for more of Lily's work!
Arriving in Scotland for a long strived for promotion, George immediately meets the three handsome brother and the sparks rapidly escalate. Each brother answers a particular need within her. What will happen when she had to go back home? Can this fantasy continue? Story is a quick read. Light on plot and character development, and heavy on the heat in this reverse harem story.
Thanks to Innes Field, Netgalley and the author for an ARC of this book. I am leaving this unbiased review voluntarily.
Holy Smokes - I can't believe this is this author's first Reverse Harem books. It was spectacular. This isn't a long read but the characters are well established straight away and the connection between Georgia, Knox, Finn and Lachlan is smoking hot but also very sensitive and romantic. There are some very soft moments in between the explosive ones.
I am now firmly on Team Lily and can't wait for the next one.
NB : I love the dedication - very cheeky and funny.
Georgia has never felt like she was worthy of love and relationships just have not worked out for her. So instead she works her entire ass off including sacrificing holidays at work instead of spending them with families, working long hours and weekends at work. She finally gets the promotion she’s been waiting for and takes a trip to Scotland for 10 days to handle an account.
Knox, Finn, and Lachlan had a horrible family life so relationships are not important to them. They now run a very profitable pub.
Georgia’s trip ends up changing her mind about a lot of things. She meets the brothers and everything changes for the better.
I loved how each brother gave her exactly what she was missing and needed. Knox is dominant and a lover of math like her. Finn is fun, sweet and supportive. While Lachlan is into his feelings more and understands the darker sides of her. They are both misunderstood.
If you love reverse harem books. I think you will enjoy this quick read with a HEA.
