Synopsis

For almost five years, Alex has had one obsession. Her name is Elynn.
Alex Hanas couldn’t believe that after so many years as a widower, his father was getting remarried. To make matters worse, the American gold digger had a kid—a daughter named Elynn. After months of avoiding it, Alex goes to brunch with every intention of giving his father’s new family the deep freeze. But he can’t pull it off with Elynn’s anxious green-grey eyes locked on him.
That was the day his life changed.
Four years later, Alex is as close to Elynn as a stepbrother can be. But that’s not enough for him. He wants more…and he’s done waiting.

Making Her His, by Lucy Leroux, centers on Alex and Elynn. Alex is a billionaire, heir to his father’s fortune. But when his father remarries, Alex is sure the woman, Mary, is a trophy wife, out to steal the business, and money, his father worked so hard to build, and that Alex now oversees. Added to his vehement dislike of his step mother, there’s a little irritant in the form of her child, his step sister Elynn. Alex found her to be a frumpy, introverted child when they first met. But meeting her again at a breakfast at his father’s home, Alex is shocked by what he sees—a beautiful young woman. The keyword being: young. Much younger than Alex. The book follows Alex and Elynn’s friendship and their feelings when they admit to themselves they want more. There is an interesting, and suspenseful sub-plot centered on Elynn.

 

Let me start by saying, I fell in love with Alex and Elynn. Their characters were rich and colorful, their relationship poignant. I especially liked following the progression of their relationship, especially Alex. I was prepared not to like him, in fact, I didn’t at first. But he was as beautiful as he was irritating. I think Leroux did an incredible job of making the characters in Making Her His real, and relatable, which is difficult when you write a story centered on billionaires. After all, not many of us can relate to having that kind of money, or the problems that come with it. But Leroux was able to pull it off. Instead of focusing on the money, she was able to draw the reader’s attention to the characters’ relationships, weaving in just enough sexual angst and suspense to keep the reader hooked until the very end.

 

All in all, Making Her His was a much deeper read than I originally thought it to be. I was pulled in from the first page, and immersed in Alex and Elynn’s world, a beautiful place to be, but not entirely without its dark side. While the book is mainly a romance, in my opinion, there was enough meat in the suspenseful sub-plot to keep readers engaged. I read Leroux’s Making Her His in one day. I’ve thought about the characters long since I turned the last page. That is a sign of good writing—making characters that seem so real, that a reader believes their lives continue long after they read that last words. 

 

Bottom line: A must read.
