Publisher's summary

I was sold to my enemies; a deal made to keep the peace, but deals get broken all the time...

What did these powerful families have as collateral? Their daughters.

A decade earlier, they decided that we were expendable, that we could be sold in marriage to keep their dealings honest. I didn’t matter more than the security I could bring to the marketplace. I was twelve when they decided that, in ten years, I’d belong to the Hernandez family.

Everyone knew what was coming for me. Everyone…except me.

I have no choices. The daughter of mobsters, I now belong to the Mexican Cartel. But even the terrible images those words evoke are nothing compared to what is coming for me. My new family will discover I am more than just a pawn in their chess game. I'm named after a flower, but I don't wilt.

I am determined to come out ahead in their Mafia Wars.

Gunmetal Lily is a reverse harem novel in the dark and twisted Mafia Wars world. It is recommended for mature listeners due to strong language, adult situations, and sensitive content.

Fun Spicy Mafia

This was my first book by Rebecca Royce! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Lily was a great character!! She was interesting and easy to love! The Hernandez brothers each brother a different flavor to the relationship! I was NOT expecting how tortured Alejandro was. His past was a shock. I would have loved more content! I needed an epilogue that was my biggest complaint!
I listened to the audio and loved Hollie Jackson, as always! It was sneaky. It had Aaron Shedlock listed, and he only voiced two very short chapters. Lol I would have loved more dual!

My favorite

Of the mafia series. Loved the story line.. another great job.. love love love it!!!

Not my favorite of the series

It was ok. So far my least favorite of the series. While I liked all the characters. It was just so…. Happy right out of the the gate for a forced marriage mafia romance. It’s really squishy cute compared to the others in the series so far.

Sorry, but this is not worth a credit

This is not a great addition to a great series. Skip it. You won’t be missing anything. No story. Characters made no sense.

Was not impressed

Storyline was okay, but the narration was off. It was hard to tell which brother was talking to her as they all sounded the same, except when the male narrator did it.
In addition, the female voice was very monotone, like nothing bothered her and no emotion. I don’t know with 1500 audible books under my belt it was more like a documentary

Good story!!!

I really liked this book. It has steam but not tons. I liked how these men were really good to Lily. It was just nice to listen to a book where her men didn't treat her like shit for most of it just to fall in love with her eventually. It was a nice change. Narrators were good too!

good but cut short

the story was good but it felt like it was cut short. the story should have been longer to include more of what happened after her hospital recovery & their life after taking their poly relationship public. it just feels like this story ended prematurely. especially because I have listened to the other books in the Mafia Wars series, & even though they were all written by different authors it is obvious some amount of collaboration was done across the series. In Rosa's story's epilogue Lily & the Hernandez brothers have children, so it would have been nice to hear in this book how at least the 1st child came about & when....among other things.

fun and sweet

pretty tame for a mafia romance. I liked that there was specifically NO miscommunication. they talked through everything, and she spoke her mind. couple things here and there not amazing but overall I enjoyed the story and don't regret buying the audiobook.

Worth the credit

It is Worth the credit. Not a ton of suspense, but good story. I liked it 👍

Not worth the credit.

Not much to say about this one, not much going on, storyline was barely there. i struggled to finish this book. there is some spice but no smut if that what you are into. trust me i know smut i have listened to plenty but spice does happen right away and I do like how Alejandro told her how it is straight up no beating around the bush. Its mainly Lilys POV and very little of the brothers POV. these women are supposed to come from strong families and here is another female who really couldn't hold her own in battle but showed her strength in other ways so i do give her that. overall not my fave from this series.
