6/12/2023 0 Comments Gunmetal Lily by Rebecca RoyceBut that in itself is what rubbed me the wrong way. I did love that in spite of being unable to be together physically, Lily and Alejandro formed a strong emotional bond, and eventually that last barrier was overcome. This quickly led to Lily and the brothers falling hard for each other. To keep this from negatively affecting his new wife he asks his younger brothers to take care of keeping her sexually satisfied. Alejandro was the victim of extreme sexual abuse as a child and as a result, has never been able to experience sexual arousal. But my biggest complaint here is the plot point that led to this becoming a reverse harem. The writing style felt a little off to me but I can’t quite put my finger on why. I would have liked to see a bit more struggle between Lily and Alejandro, though I will admit seeing a strong bond from the get go was pretty nice. There wasn’t a whole lot of conflict in the actual romance of the story, and while the external conflict was interesting and handled in a satisfying way, it just sort of fell flat. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this installment. Book 2 of the Mafia Wars series sees Lily, daughter of the Italian mafia, married off to Alejandro Hernandez, heir to the Mexican Cartel and eldest brother of Rosa, the heroine of book 1.
