Synopsis

A reluctant Mafia prince . . .
Vince Luca is just like any other high school guy. His best friend, Alex, is trying to score vicariously through him; his brother is a giant pain; and his father keeps bugging him to get motivated. There is just one thing that really sets him apart for other kids - his father happens to be the head of a powerful crime organization.

Needless to say, while Vince's family's connections can be handy for certain things (like when teachers are afraid to give him a bad grade), they can put a serious crimp in his dating life. Who wants to explain to your girlfriend what your father does for a living? But when Vince meets a girl who finally seems to be worth the trouble, her family turns out to be the biggest problem of all. Because her father is an FBI agent - the one who has been watching Vince's family for years, and who wants to put his father away for good.

Escaping Yourself The book Son of the Mob was an interesting book; it touched me in some spots, and it really got to me. I thought it was a good book for someone who likes romance, humor, and action all put together. It had that little bit of romance to spice the book up just right, but not so much......more

Goodreads review by Luke on May 21, 2015

Son of the Mob is stuffed full of action in the first chapter... The main character is Vince Luca. His father is the boss of a vending machine business, but really he is the mob boss. Vince’s girlfriend is Kendra. Her father is, ironically, the lead investigator for the FBI trying to catch Vince’s f......more
