What. Was. That.
Imma be honest with you, this one right here is 10% plot, 90% smut.
Did I hate it ? No.
Did a like it ? Haaaa, kinda yeah.
It promised spice, it delivered spice.
BUT, the true ADHD woman I am, the one who’s always stuck on some facts and just can’t move from them, who will focus on one detail and will spend the whole book being triggered by it, couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that they are brothers, thus, they spend their whole time getting freaky together with the same woman, THUS THEY OBVIOUSLY SEE/TOUCH THEIR BROTHER’S GENITALIA.
This bothered me to no end.
I knew from the start so I could have stopped.
I didn’t, because I was curious.
Oh and I quickly got annoyed at the way the FMC keeps describing the brothers, because it’s just always the same, every 5 to 10 pages, we get something along the lines of « Finn is my sunshine, je makes me warm, je makes me smile and laugh, Knox is the protector, the dominator… » yadi yadi please come on.
SPOILERS FOR A SPECIFIC EVENT IN THE END.
And please, for the love of all that’s holy, stop it with pregnancies. Because I have so many questions now, on who will be the official father, how they will explain this to everyone, and also, I hate surprise pregnancies/pregnancy trope.

Thank you Netgalley and Innes Field LLC for the eArc in response for an honest review. Pub date August 23 2023.
Georgia is in Scotland for her job. She meets 3 gorgeous but damaged brothers. She wants them, and they definitely want her.
This is a very spicy reverse harem book. If you are looking for a short but steamy af book, you'll like this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! These are my honest thoughts and opinions.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t really get into this. The writing is meh and I found myself just skimming through, so I ended up DNFing.
It’s definitely a book that is only for the smut, but what little plot there is wasn’t that great. The characters just weren’t doing it for me and the interactions were cringy. I think the writing got a touch better during the spicy scenes, but since I DNFed, I’m not sure how the rest went.
I was hoping I’d like this, especially since I loooove Lily Gold’s why choose books, but this book unfortunately did not live up to the expectations.

This was an intense, insta-love, reverse harem and an enjoyable read. I felt that some scenes were rushed and would love to have seen them drawn out even further. Each character had different personalities and qualities and it was impossible to pick a favourite brother!

Thank you to NetGalley for the e-ARC of “Making Her Theirs” by Lily Manning, in exchange for my honest review.
Short, sweet and spicy! Perfect if you want a quick paced, lust-filled romance story.
“Making Her Theirs” by Lily Manning is a fast-paced, why choose story that follows Georgia and her time spent in Edinburgh for a recent promotion. She is very likeable as a character, because she is smart, somewhat confident and caring. On day one, she meets three brothers and things heats up pretty early in the story - before you know it Georgia is besotted with all three men.
MINOR SPOILERS
Whilst Georgia has never really had a proper loving relationship, she instantly develops a connection to each of the brothers, in different ways (each has their own appealing qualities) and Georgia now finds herself in a position where she is free to give in to her desires, without judgement, and is able to put her needs first. Each of the men can offer her something she is looking for (protection, humour, emotional connection etc)
Things heats up pretty early in the story and there are multiple spicy scenes - a mix of one-on-one, two-on-one or all three-on-one. Whilst a why-choose involving people who are blood related is not my cup of tea, I can’t deny the scenes are rather erotic!
I was looking for some more chapters on how the characters navigate their new relationship moving forward but instead we are given an epilogue that takes place 3 months later.
Things that were mentioned that I thought were good to include, as it adds a level of maturity to the characters:
- consent, communication and ‘checking in’ throughout the spicy scenes.
- checking everyone has a clean bill of health and that Georgia is on birth control.
Things I struggled with:
- On day one she was very ‘intimate’ with not one, but two of the brothers. This seemed bit premature in the story considering she had only met them a few hours prior and she seemed to have no regard for her personal safety! It would have made more sense if there was a bit of a build up.
- There is one spicy scene where the men swap ‘positions’ going from back ‘entrance’ to front with no mention of how personal hygiene was maintained - we’re all mature enough to know what this would lead to for poor Georgia!
- I’m not a fan of the unexpected pregnancy trope - especially when it is noted that the FMC is on birth control. I know BC can fail but I just find this addition to the story a bit unnecessary. It also doesn’t mention how the male characters feel about this change to their lives, considering their family history.

This was a very quick read; which is nice. I usually read a lot of “Why Chooses” and Dark Romance so this is right up my alley! The one thing that I couldn’t get past is that it felt like insta-love to me and that’s one thing I, personally, do not enjoy but I can see people enjoying this book!

ONE DAY. I finished this book in ONE DAY. One sitting. I couldn’t put it down.
It was spicy and exciting! I couldn’t read it fast enough.
I love that Georgia was loved for all of her imperfections. That after being told no by so many men, she had not 1 but 3 men falling for her and worshipping the ground she walked on.
I love how steamy the scenes were, I love that this book left me feeling genuinely happy for the characters.
I’m obsessed and can’t wait to check out Lily’s next read.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a page turner. The perfect book if you are trying to grow your family

OMG I LOVED IT!!!! FOR her first reverse harem I gotta say she executed the hell out of the trope!!! For the first time I actually couldn't pick a favorite brother as they all had something about them you just had to love. I do wish we could have seen more character development however all in all this was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me and

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.
