This was not a fast paced book, but I couldn’t put it down. I like Drew and Cannon, although I didn’t necessarily feel the chemistry between them. Overall this was a satisfying read and I can’t wait to see how the story ends.
Oh I really love all of Meghan’s books! I can’t decide which alpha is my favorite anymore because they all have such great charisma. I love, love, loved Cannon!! Meghan has such a great style of writing that I have a hard time putting the book down. Definitely can’t wait for the second book!!
Meghan March is always one of my automatic reads! Black Sheep was no exception! Five Stars!
I loved Black Sheep! This was a fast paced book that takes you on a ride you don’t want to miss.
This book was packed with twists and turns I didn’t see coming. Drew and Cannon have an instant connection and they both know it’s not a good idea to get involved. The more they are around each other the harder it is to deny the chemistry. They both have secrets and don’t know who they can trust.
Meghan March takes you on a ride you don’t want to get off. I loved this book and can’t wait for the conclusion of the Dirty Mafia Duet. Must Read!
Oh how I have been waiting for Cannon’s story! Cannon Freeman, the bastard son of one of the most infamous crime bosses in New York. What is his real story? Is he really a legitimate business man or is it all a cover for his mob boss father? That is what Drew Carson is going to figure out. Weaseling her way into a job at Cannon’s very prestigious club, she is determined to find out who in the Casso crime family murdered her father.
The one thing Drew doesn’t factor into her plan is the attraction she immediately feels for Cannon. No one should look as good as he does, or be the good man he turns out to be. She constantly sees instances where Cannon turns out to be nothing like she imagined.
Cannon on the other hand, feels things for Drew he’s never felt for any other woman. And that’s dangerous, since he has never once let his guard down, because that could get you killed when you’re part of an infamous mob family, even if you’ve never been publicly acknowledged. Cannon has always lived on the periphery of his father, Dom Casso. Always doing what is expected of him, but maintaining a legitimate, clean reputation. At what point will he finally be able to get out from under Dom’s thumb?
The attraction and intensity between Cannon and Drew is intense. Both of them keeping their secrets, but unable to stay away from each other. Will they be able to make this relationship work? Will Cannon find out what Drew is really doing before Dom or even another mob family does? Will Drew let her attraction and feelings for Cannon derail her plans to find out who killed her father? So many questions up in the air, and being the queen of cliffhangers, Meghan drops a doozy on us!! I can’t wait to start reading White Knight to find out how this whole thing plays out!!
Linked to the Casso mob family by blood, Cannon Freeman keeps himself at arms length, running an exclusive men’s club in New York City.
Drew Carson needs a job that will give her the answers and justice she’s searching for.
The attraction between Cannon and Drew is immediate, but the burn is deliciously slow, like an ember that’s about to combust at any moment. This union is more dangerous than either of them imagine.
Devoured this book in a day, and the ending had me up half the night wondering how the excruciating cliffy will be resolved. Eagerly tapping my toe for Dirty Mafia Duet #2.
Drew and Cannon are THE COUPLE of 2019!!!! It has been a long while since I have been able to read a Meghan March book! When she started coming out with the Dirty Mafia Duet, this was the perfect time to jump back on the Meghan March band wagon. It was so worth it!!! I love Black Sheep. The thrills and chills will make you want so much more!
You will get chemistry, a little of mystery, and of course a whole lot of wanting. Cannon is the perfect hero for this story. He was 100% pure heart even though he is wrapped up with his crime family. Drew makes him want to break the rules and I FLOVE IT! The ending will have your heart beating! I cannot wait for the next book <3
Meghan March has outdone herself with the first book in her Dirty Mafia Duet! Black Sheep is intense, fast paced and I couldn’t put it down! Her characters are always well developed and the storyline contains the right amount of intrigue, surprises, and twists and turns.
The chemistry between Cannon and Drew lit the pages on fire! They both knew there were secrets being kept and potential danger always nearby, but they couldn’t stay away from each other. This story left us at a critical moment and I can’t wait to see how the rest of this story will play out in White Knight!
Completely captivating and addictive. This story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It is suspenseful and sexy and I can’t get enough. Another amazing start to a series by Meghan March. I am definitely looking forward to the conclusion to this duet. I am dying to know what will happen next and where these character will go. I might even have to read again before the next book. It is definitely on my reread shelf. I can’t wait for more.
***5 ‘You Look Like I Need to Kiss You Again’ Stars***
YAAASSSSS!!!
Even with that Cliffy, I’m over hear all kinds of puppy dog, stupid swoony grin and twitterpated heart because I FINALLY got Cannon!!!
Or at least part of Cannon, since this is a duet, but you understand.
I have been waiting since the before Dirty Billionaire trilogy was completed to know about Cannon because I knew he had to be just as awesome as Crey Crey to be his bff and I was proven right! He is so much more than the sum of his parts, and some of those parts are quite wonderful and I ended up adoring him. And then there is Drew. This woman has balls of steel, let me tell you, and I adored her. She sticks to her convictions, but isn’t one to go into a situation blindly, nor is she one to take things at face value…most of the time. She just has that thing that makes me want to grab a couple of fingers of bourbon and get to know her better.
As for their journey thus far…HAWT (was that ever in doubt???) but also sweet and swoon worthy. The chemistry between them is intense and, despite what brought them together, I loved how well they flowed together and cannot wait to see what else they’ll have to face before getting the HEA they so richly deserve.
Now, I’m typically making grabby hands at the next book in either a Meghan March duet or trilogy, and believe me when I say that I am, but I am in a bit of a conundrum…do I wait to read the words that are in White Knight OR do I listen to them?? I do have the audio book for the duet ~ I am a #fangirl after all ~ but I waffled over diving in to them first or wait for the book because sometimes I prefer reading first and then listening to the words since I don’t have to worry too much about paying attention…I still haven’t made up my mind on what I will do, but at least I have the option open to me *BSEG*
But as for the storyline and all the characters that populate the Dirty Mafia world…I honestly love the path that has been laid out for Cannon and Drew and cannot wait to see how things play out after that very…interesting ending. And as for the secondary characters…well, I love hearing about some of my fav’s from other books ~ one was definitely accompanied by a bit of happy dancing ~ but Dom Casso is the one that intrigues me the most because part of me wants to not like him, but I cannot help but be fascinated by the man and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what he does, or doesn’t do, in the next book!

Every family has a black sheep.
In the infamous Casso crime family, that black sheep is me—Cannon Freeman.
Except I’m not a free man. I’ve never been free. Not since the day I was born.
Meghan March has done it again with an addictive story line, lovable and sexy characters with chemistry off the scales and sex hotter than the sun. Absolutely loved this first book in this series now on to book number two.
What an amazing start to C and D’s journey! This book will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting to find out what is next.
Meghan March…. nothing Need I say more?
It’s a book from Meghan March, so just buy it!! it’s sooooo good.
Every time I sit down to read a book written by Meghan March, I never know what to expect. I have to honestly say that each new book, blows the previous book out of the water. They just keep getting better and better.
Black Sheep is no exception to this. Being intertwined with previous books, but totally a stand alone in its own right, this book sucks you in so hard, you have to fight to come up for air. Right from the start the characters are phenomenal, the plot is outrageous in a totally believable way, and the flow just keeps you in there. Of course this being a duet, you know there is a serious cliffy at the end and OH boy was is a great one!
If you are not fond of major cliffies, then I suggest you wait for both books to be out. But really… Who can wait when there is a new MM book for the grabbing!!!
Great beginning of this amazing duet.. the story of Cannon and Drew start with a lot of tension and a hint of hate but it is only about time that both will finally see the truth.. a past that is hunting them and it is making it a little hard for Drew to open up and trust in the man that has been making her feel all this emotions and chemistry that is hard to understand..
Cannon is a good man but he hasn’t proved that yet as his family and life is not the best positive image a man can ask for.. surrounded by mafia and guns Cannon is trying to finally prove himself to him, to his father and also to the woman that keeps making him feel things..
Great book, great characters I cant wait to see what happened with Cannon and Drew I just feel they’re meant to be together no matter the circumstances. even if the entire mafia is trying to undermine this relationship love is stronger than everything!!
I can’t wait for White Knight!!!
Meghan March’s writing never fails to keep me entertained, her audiobooks in particular have me hanging on her every word (she always gets the best narrators). I’ve learned my lesson though, wait until the full duet or trilogy is released, that way I can listen without having to wait weeks for the final instalment, because believe me, it always end on a cliffie. I cannot wait to get stuck into book 2 White Knight, I need to know what will happen to mafia brat Cannon Freeman and undercover journalist Drew Carlson when the head of the Cassidy crime family Dominic Cassidy finds out what they’ve been hiding. Great characters with lots of chemistry. Great narration, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York, a match made in heaven. Can’t give this less than the five stars it deserves. Loved it.
5 Cannon is a Complex Man Stars!!!
This review is going to be short and sweet because OH MY STARS there’s so many twists and turns in this book as we get in-depth into this enigmatic man. And let me tell you, everything is not what it looks to be when it comes to Cannon Freeman and the Casso family – it’s SO MUCH MORE!!
Ms. March has taken us on quite the ride with this man and his heroine and let me tell you, it’s like the tilt-a-whirl at an amusement park! We’re riding high and then all of a sudden the bottom drops out and I’m sitting here with my mouth agape trying to figure out what just happened.
One thing is for certain though, she’s delivered on Cannon’s story and her writing is intense, graphic, gripping and has left me jones-ing for White Knight because that ending!!!!
As a side note, I not only read the book, I listened to it as well and as engrossing as reading the story was, I was completely captivated by Ms. Arndt and Mr York’s narration bringing to life all the players in this first book of the duet!!
OHHHHH does Meghan March deliver with this story. There are twists. There are some crazy moments. There is just SO much about this book that I just want to scream from the rooftops! The world that March created that intertwines with so much more that she has written, is pure gold and the fluidity is just wow! The passion and connection that Cannon and Drew have is just wow. The concept of this story is mind blowing and your jaw drops on more than one occasion as well.
To say I am in LOVE with Cannon and the concept behind him and how he is all involved in everything is mind blowing. March just has this way of writing these men who are raw and broken in certain ways and you cannot help but fall in love with them. BUT THAT ENDING?!?!? Can we just say, March is the queen of some epic wtf twists! I was blown away and it left me begging for more. What is going to happen between these two? How will everything play out? I NEED THE SECOND BOOK STAT!
I’m ashamed to say this is my first time reading a book by Meghan March, I am definitely a fan now. This was a phenomenally seductive, intriguing, and suspenseful story. I enjoyed every single moment of this book.
