Book Description

December 1, 2004
Travis Burns, a.k.a. Mr. Blue, Jackie Washington, a.k.a. Mr. White, and Ronnie Grier a.k.a. Mr. Green live by rules. The first and foremost of these rules is M.O.B. The rules have serviced them well in what they do to earn a living. They are a robbing crew, who operate under the protection of Mike Black's organization (Is It A Crime). They rob banks, grocery stores, jewelry stores, and anything else that they can hit quick and come away with a large return on their investment of time. They are organized, prepared, and over all else, disciplined. All college graduates and all victims of the corporate lay-offs and down sizing, they dress down- no flashy jewelry, no expensive car, nothing that will attract the attention of police and player haters. life is good until Travis meets Me'chelle Lawrence and falls in love. Now he has to chose between the money and loyalty to his friends and the woman he loves.

4.0 out of 5 stars L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y???, February 25, 2005
This review is from: Mob (Mass Market Paperback)
MOB, or money over b*tches, is rule number one for friends Travis, Ronnie, and Jackie. Friends since childhood, the trio find themselves college educated but unemployed. In need of money, they turn to a life of crime - robbing. Along with MOB they live and conduct themselves according to nine other rules including "let no one come between us." Under the protection of Mike "Vicious" Black's organization now run by Freeze, the trio of robbers are making money hand over fist. But after a close call, Travis the unspoken leader is having second thoughts about his choice of career. Addicted to the fast money and lifestyle, Ronnie and Jackie aren't ready to quit. Further complicating matters, Travis meets the beautiful Me'shelle Lawrence. As their relationship progresses, Travis find himself in direct conflict with rules "money over b*tches" and "let no one come between us." As Ronnie and Jackie question Travis' loyalty, can he convince them to get out before their luck runs out? And ultimately where will his loyalty lie?
Roy Glenn's MOB is an action packed tale of heists, shoot outs, loyalty, revenge, and some good old fashion loving. There were cameo appearances of Mike Black, Wanda, and Bobby Ray from `Is It A Crime.'
Ready and waiting for the saga to continue with Drug Related.

5.0 out of 5 stars MOB...You'll See If You Read This, January 12, 2005
This review is from: Mob (Mass Market Paperback)
I tried to read Roy Glenn's novel "Is It A Crime" but couldn't get into it at the time. No problem doing so with "MOB". Right from the first page you are pulled onto a roller coaster ride of crime, then love, and finally suspense. The book is written in vivid detail with the right amount of emotion poured into each character without being overdone. I especially liked the fact that one of the MOB crew members is a woman whose name is Jackie. She holds her own right alongside the guys. I can definitely see this book being put on the big screen with the type of action that comes from these heists.

There are some characters and references that may have come from "Is It A Crime" (i.e. Mike Black) but you can still read this book in spite of that minor detail. I appreciate the author writing the story in that manner and may even go back and try to read "Is It A Crime".

I can't wait until "Drug Related" is released to see if it picks up on the Jackie and Travis storyline. Buy this book, it won't disappoint.
