this good was short and sweet, less than 170 pages, it was filled with smut, with minimal story line. was good if you want something to fill space in your tbr

Making Her Theirs is the kind of book that unapologetically delivers on its promise: emotionally charged, deeply passionate, and packed with irresistible Scottish charm (times three!). If you're into steamy reverse harem romances with protective, possessive men and a heroine who finds strength in vulnerability, this one’s for you.

From the moment our heroine steps into that Edinburgh bar, the tension crackles. Knox, Finn, and Lachlan each bring something wildly different to the table—and I was just as hooked on discovering their unique dynamics as she was. Knox is the broody protector with alpha energy for days. Finn? Total heart-melter with a wicked smile. And Lachlan… well, the quiet ones are always the most intense, aren’t they?

The chemistry here is off the charts. But what really elevates the story is the emotional depth that runs underneath all the heat. Manning doesn’t just throw spicy scenes onto the page—she crafts characters with pasts, insecurities, and genuine connections. It’s not just about the lust (though there’s plenty of that); it’s about finding trust, healing, and love in unexpected places.

The writing is addictive and fast-paced, with just the right amount of tenderness balancing the erotic elements. The setting in Edinburgh also adds a moody, romantic backdrop that makes everything feel a bit more magical.

Why not five stars? I would’ve loved to see a little more fleshing out of the plot outside the romance—it’s clear the emotional arcs were the priority here, but a bit more external conflict or narrative drive could have rounded it out even further.

Still, for fans of steamy poly romance with protective heroes, found family vibes, and total emotional payoff, Making Her Theirs hits all the right spots.

Final thoughts: Come for the steam, stay for the surprisingly heartfelt journey of healing, trust, and unconditional love. These Scottish brothers don’t mess around—and neither should you. Just dive in.

Making Her Theirs is a steamy reverse harem romance that blends intense chemistry, emotional healing, and found-family vibes. The heroine finds herself at the center of a passionate connection with multiple protective and irresistible men, each bringing something unique to the relationship. Lily Manning does a great job balancing the emotional arcs of the characters with the sizzling tension and spicy scenes.

Expect jealousy, possessiveness, tender moments, and a lot of heat — all wrapped in a story that explores trust, love, and belonging.

It was hard to keep focused on this book. I didn’t even make it half way and I decided to not finish it. It just didn’t appeal to me.

Making Her Theirs is a fun, steamy romance with plenty of chemistry between the characters. The dynamic is exciting, and I enjoyed the tension and the way the characters developed. It’s a quick, enjoyable read, though I wished for a bit more depth in the story and character growth. But if you're looking for a sizzling, feel-good romance, this one definitely delivers.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing this ARC. This was a fun romp of a why choose forbidden romance set mostly in the town pub. The pubs owners three brothers each meet a girl they think is the one, only they’ve all fallen for the same girl. It’s cute and sexy. I gave this three stars. It was fun.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this ARC! Who needs a plot with this kind of smut?? Not me. Lol

Making Her Theirs by Lily Manning is a sizzling, action-packed romance that takes off right from the start. Georgia’s business trip to Edinburgh quickly shifts from professional to pleasure-filled when she meets two irresistible brothers. What starts as a simple request for a drink escalates into a steamy encounter that heats up almost immediately.

From the first page to the last, the story is captivating, but readers should be mindful of the Triggers and prepare for how quickly the tension rises. It’s a fast-paced, intense journey that explores desire without hesitation, so if you’re in the mood for a steamy, thrilling romance, this one delivers. Just be sure you're ready for how quickly it heats up!

Such a great book for a cozy and spicy evening at home. Imagine being a down-to-earth gal from Texas traveling to Scotland for a quick trip then heading back home to settle into the life you have always dreamed of. That first night there you meet three very different, yet all very intriguing men. Now....add a ton of spice, a good storyline, and you have yourself a winner! Which man would you pick-charming, strong and quiet or intense and loyal? or....why should you have to pick?

This why-choose steamy read offers a fantastic happy-ending and plenty of action between the pages. It's also a short read which matches the narrative perfectly. Too much more and it would have lost the zing.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a good read and provided me with an escape for a couple of hours. Can't wait to read more books by this author in the future,

Making Her Theirs wasn’t really my cup of tea, though I can see how it might appeal to others. It’s definitely packed with steamy scenes and doesn’t hold back on the sexy factor, but for me, it kind of overshadowed everything else. I was hoping for a bit more in terms of character development and plot, but it felt like the story took a backseat to the romance.

The relationships between the characters moved really quickly, and I didn’t get a chance to feel invested in them. I would’ve liked to see more build-up and get to know the characters better before things escalated. The heat is definitely there if that’s what you’re after, but I just didn’t connect with the story on a deeper level.

That said, it’s got a no-regrets vibe, so if you’re in the mood for something purely fun and sexy without worrying about a complex plot, this might be more up your alley. It just didn’t quite hit the mark for me personally.

What is not to love about this amazing reverse haram book. I devoured it and fell in love with all the characters. This was. Avery quick read and full of smut and spice.
What’s not to love?

Quick and easy read with lots and lots of smut
This is a reverse Harlem.
There's not much character development which made it difficult a bit for me to like the characters.
However I enjoyed the smut, it could have used a bit of a build up.
So spicy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks the Publisher and NetGalley for this.

The smut-factor was there in this book for sure…but I didn’t love the story line or characters. The plot and character development both felt rushed so I couldn’t really get into the story

I love a quick spicy read. Recommend it for all the people looking for all spicy and minimal story line. Sometimes you just need it quick and dirty reset and that's exactly what this was for me!

"Making Her Theirs" by Lily Manning is a captivating reverse harem romance that swept me off my feet. Set in the charming city of Edinburgh, it follows Georgia, a dedicated professional who, after a rough start in a new city, encounters the irresistible Knox brothers—Knox, Finn, and Lachlan. Each brother brings something unique to the table: Knox’s protective dominance, Finn’s fun and supportive nature, and Lachlan’s emotional depth.

The chemistry between Georgia and the brothers is electrifying. Manning skillfully balances steamy romance with heartfelt moments, making the characters’ growth and relationships feel authentic. The storyline is engaging, with each brother helping Georgia discover new facets of herself and embrace her desires.

For fans of steamy and emotional romance, "Making Her Theirs" is a must-read. It’s a beautifully written tale of love, self-discovery, and the power of finding the right people who complete you in unexpected ways.

Engaging plotline and characters! Really enjoyed the twists and turns along the way and the multiple viewpoints to tell the story.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC.

I really wasn't into this book if I am being honest. Anyone who knows me knows I love a smutty book. But there needs to be some plot and meat and potatoes to it not just sex and sex only.

It was a fast read.

Not for me on this one.

This was a super quick read with a lot of spice! I enjoyed the premise of the book. The main character arrives in Edinburgh for 10 days to cement her place for an upcoming promotion at her job. Luckily for us, while she is there she meets 3 brothers and our reverse harem begins!

I appreciate how quick and easy to read this book was; however, I do wish we got to know the characters a bit more deeply & the plot was slightly more realistic. But overall it was an enjoyable read!

Please, everyone, say it with me. We cannot, and should not, be writing characters that are "in love" in ten days flat. That is asinine, and we must stop it.

Making Her Theirs had a plot, a storyline, and was looking up until we took a turn to smutville. I 100% will ALWAYS read a book with smut in it, and often think that romance novels without smut are a waste of time. HOWEVER, I need some plot with my smut otherwise it's just written porn, and I need even that to be a little believeable.
