Murder. Betrayal. Revenge.
Murder. That was the life I knew best. Born into a crime family that fed on the weaknesses of others, in order to gain the power attained today. Power that led me to kill for my father. My mafia family. The mafia family that ended up putting two shots in my back.
Betrayal at it’s finest. Deception that brought me a better life. A life full of happiness with the love … happiness with the love of my life. A life that was built on the foundation of lies. How could I possibly believe my new life wouldn’t crumble? The truth always finds it’s way out.
That truth would become my revenge. My ruthlessness has risen to protect the life I’ve built. The women I love. And the family I don’t deserve. Vengeance will be mine by taking the one thing my assailant wants to control the most. His daughter.

By Cam Johns
Its been ten years since Gabriel (Gabe)Calgrone left the mafia life behind and became a different person. He became Robert (Rob) Turner a respected police officer,a loving husband to Madelynn and father to Jonathan and Jackson two beautiful boys. He should of known it was too good to be true that the mafia would stay away when there’s a knock on the door. Only to be informed his childhood friend Isabella (Bells) Santini needs his help to escape her father the “Don” himself Beppe Santini. Will he risk coming back from the dead and expose himself to help save her and get the much needed revenge on the man who put two in his back and left him for dead? Will he finally get the answers to the many unanswered questions from his past?
This storyline is action packed, suspense filled, intense, emotional, captivating, violent at times with twists, turns, secrets, sabotage and danger around every corner. Yet there is family, strength, courage, forgiveness and love. It truly is a wonderful story with intriguing characters that I can’t wait to follow in the other books in this series.
I received an ARC from the author through Booksprout for my honest review.

This is’t a standalone series even though there are standalones in this series based on getting one woman free from the mob and all it took to make it happen. It helps that she’s not the only one that wants out. He is the perfect example. He ran from this life and had no idea that he would be drawn back in because someone knew his secret. Lies, betrayal, more secrets and a need to protect those that are important lead to a can of whoop a$$ that is unleashed to make sure his secret keeps.
WOW!! This one has so may twist and turns, emotions, action and a little romance. There is a whole bunch of lies and when the truth comes out will Robert be able to handle it. An amazing read that will pull you in you won’t be able to stop reading it. Can’t wait to read the next .
Wow! This book stands alone but I gathered that it goes along with the same plot as the first book in Escaping the Mafia series. This takes some twists and turns and I was on edge the whole time not knowing what was up and down. It’s enthralling and you won’t be disappointed.
Different..In A Good Way
Two To The Back is Cam Johns contribution to the Escape the Mafia series, and it’s a different kind of mafia love story….in a good way…This book isn’t about two characters falling in love and finding a way to be together inside the mob…Two To The Back is a book about family and “the family.”…It’s about not being able to outrun your past…It’s about Gabe Calgrone, a former mafia enforcer, who “died” a decade ago, and is now happily married with kids and living his life as a cop…When his past threatens his present and future, and his secret threatens to come out, Gabe goes back to the home in which he grew up…and cop or not, he’ll do whatever it takes…He’s not losing his family….I liked it….
Two To The Back by Cam Johns is the second in a multi-author 6-book series. Although this book can and does stand alone, I will definitely be going back to start at the beginning, as the characters and/or individual storylines weave in and out of all of the books. It can only improve the reading experience! Can’t wait.
This story is a wonderful mix of action and emotion that keeps you on the coaster until the very end.
Can you ever really escape your past? And is revenge enough reason to risk everything you’ve built? These are the question, and this adventure brings you to the answers.
Solid 4-star read!
