The Queen of Cliffhangers is back with this sensual and suspenseful book that’s the first half of an exhilarating duet that kept me glued to the pages. From the first page to the last readers will find themselves quickly captivated by this tale set in the mafia world and featuring an illegitimate son and his attraction to the strong-willed woman bent on revenge. When his father, the dangerous Dominic Casso, expresses an interest in her too things take an even darker turn in this tale that takes unexpected turns.
Cannon Freeman is a man of mystery, fawned over by women while being constantly challenged by other men looking for power. As the illegitimate son of a mafia kingpin his life has never been his own, ordered by his father to lie and flex his muscles, as he’s always been made to feel second best. He’s growing tired of his father’s treatment though, tired of being a pawn, so when his father tries to claim the new waitress at his cigar bar he makes his stand and claims her as his own. His connection to Drew is sizzling from the moment they meet in a romance full of power and danger. He’s protective and focused throughout the story with moments of loneliness that had me feeling sympathetic towards him. On a whole Cannon’s a sexy hero who’s full of grays as his attraction to the mysterious Drew takes him on a journey full of unexpected twists and turns….especially when the truth regarding Drew’s past is revealed.
Drew Carson’s not who she appears to be as her sad past has transformed her into a determined woman bent on revenge after the death of her father. She’s buried the woman she once was to embed herself into the Casso family world to find out the truth in order to bring them to justice. Learning about her mission I was constantly on edge waiting for the truth about her to come out while rooting for her to make the murderers pay. Throughout her mission Drew was a strong-willed heroine, one who didn’t take guff, and one who didn’t allow distractions…at least until she met Cannon. He was a decadent distraction and I enjoyed the balance of sizzle and suspense surrounding their times together. Just as their romance heated up so too did the danger in a tale that had my heart picking up the pace.
This was a quick read that was over before I knew it, leaving me with one heckuva cliffhanger. The story may have started off slowly but the pace quickly picked up before racing to a conclusion that has me desperately counting down the days until the other half of this duet hits bookshelves. Cannon and Drew are an exciting main couple, both of whom do questionable things at times to reach their goals, and despite their dogged determination I still found them immensely likable. They have a crackling connection teeming with sexual tension that lead to erotically-charged interactions that had me blushing. Their banter outside the bedroom was witty and sensual too and had a foreplay feeling early on that had me waiting with bated breath for them to act on their feelings. Along with this larger-than-life main couple was an equally intriguing cast of secondary characters whose motives I could only guess at as villains and heroes weren’t always obvious. On a whole these eclectic characters added to the mystery and kept me on the edge of my seat rooting for Cannon and Drew to survive…and get their HEA. Ms. March has crafted another winner as readers will be on tenterhooks waiting for the finale after the captivating story started here!
Meghan March does it again with the first book in her new Dirty Mafia Duet, Black Sheep. As always she is able to suck you in and bring the characters to life with her words. Always sexy, possessive men with larger than life egos and sassy leading ladies that refuse to put up with their shit. But no matter how many books she writes no two couples are the same. I refuse to give anything away though because her books are the best when you go in blind. But, if you like an exciting fast past read with plenty of drama, intrigue and suspense then you will love this book. But beware of the cliffy! You won’t be hanging long though the conclusion is only a couple of months away – White Knight drops on November 26th.
Absolutely captivating!!! I loved Black Sheep so much I read the book AND listened to it on Audible!! Amazing, seductive, intriguing….with a cliffhanger that leaves your jaw dropping and has you stunned for days afterwards, blissfully and anxiously awaiting White Knight!! If I could rate this book more than 5 stars I would, it deserves 10 Super Stars!!! Incredibly delightfully delicious!!!
Meghan March sure knows how to inject some intensity into her stories! Gahhhh, I sat at the edge of my seat the entire book…flipping every page quicker than the one before. I didn’t want it to end BUT I couldn’t read fast enough. Devouring the book wasn’t good enough, I needed to live and breathe Drew and Cannon. Their chemistry is off the charts, the mystery, the FIRE! It’s everything. There’s nothing slow or lazy about this book, it’s DYNAMITE from start to end!
I hate leaving off with a cliffy…but Meghan always does it so good…so right! I’m dying for book 2 ASAP!! Where will Cannon and Drew’s story continue…or end?
What a sizzler!
Meghan March pulls out all the stops with Black Sheep, book one in her latest duet. In true Meghan March fashion, readers are pulled into a world full of rich characters and a page turning story line. As a reader, I’ve very impressed with the original spin of the plot line. One of Meghan March’s best writing qualities is her ability to stay true to the character and she demonstrates that throughout this novel. Black Sheep is filled with suspense, secrets and best of all… romance.
I look forward to the conclusion of the Dirty Mafia Duet with White Knight.
Once again Ms March gives us another dramatic and suspense filled read that I devoured in one sitting. Drew Carson is on a mission to nail a job, a job more important than anyone can know. With her reasons held close to the vest, Drew is thrust into a world completely unfamiliar to her, and treads carefully to right a wrong that has happened in her past. With the goal met of landing the job, immediately things get complicated when Cannon Freeman her new boss comes on the scene. From the moment they meet sparks ignite between the two of them, but she knows she has to keep her wits about her and stay the course. But working for Cannon takes her into the dark underbelly of the Casso family and their businesses, making it hard for Drew to stop the lines from blurring. I absolutely adore Cannon’s character. Trying like hell to keep the business he operates out of the hands of his father is a monumental task for him, and now with Drew in the mix, he’s finding it more difficult staying loyal to the family, all the while becoming more intrigued with her. This story is told in dual povs, and the intensity and passion between these two sizzle of the pages. Of course this wouldn’t be a Meghan March book without a major cliffhanger at the end of the story, making you want to read book 2 ASAP!!
He could never please his father.
Her father was proud of everything she did.
As secrets are uncovered, Cannon and Drew realize they may have more in common than they think.
Meghan March is phenomenal at writing books that have so many trust while delivering passion and romance as well.
I loved these characters and the suspense!
A must Read! Can’t wait for White Knight!!!

Black Sheep is full of mystery, action and an abundance of sparks between the hero and heroine. Just as the intensity builds, an epic cliffhanger will leave you begging for more.

Black Sheep was hot, entertaining, drama filled, suspenseful, and the perfect intro into Cannon and Drew’s story!!!! I cannot wait for White Knight

An interesting web of lies, lust, and deceit that had me riveted until the end. OH… that ending!
The story revolves around Drew Carlson and Cannon Freeman, Drew is determine to find out what happened to her father and she will not stop until see has her answers, but gets herself tangled into the wrong kind of trouble. I’m looking forward to see how this story unravels in White Knight.
I always think the last Meghan March book was my favorite and then she goes and outdoes the last one! Her books are always auto-buys for me because I’ll be hooked until the end. Cannon might be my favorite hero yet. Maybe! I also love strong heroines, which Drew is. I won’t say anything about the plot but you can’t go wrong here. This is part 1 of a duet and I can’t wait for part 2!!
Meghan March has proven her ability to write a cliffhanger that will bring readers back for more, and Black Sheep is no exception.
As the illegitimate son of mob boss Dominic Casso, Cannon Freeman has plenty of money and power, but keeps himself on the right side of the law. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t keep his family close and his enemies closer, which brings him more headache than he needs at times.
Enter Drew Carson. She’s beautiful, and a distraction that Cannon neither wants nor needs. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and that sometimes means opening ourselves up to risks we never saw coming. And Drew Carson is a bigger risk than Cannon ever saw coming.
Once things start between Drew and Cannon, the attraction is impossible for either of them to fight, and neither are interested in trying. Once Cannon starts unraveling Drew’s litany of lies, mistruths, and misrepresentations, their budding romance begins to unravel. And it isn’t until the final pages when we see the explosive confrontation, leaving readers begging for more.
MEGHAN MARCH HAS OFFICIALLY KILLED ME WITH THIS SERIES. BUT OH WHAT A SWEET WAY TO GO!!!! This book beyond blew my mind. I’m going to dare to say that this might just be my new favorite Meghan March duet.
I dare not give any details of this story because that would be the worst thing to do by ruining your reading experience. We all know Meghan loves her plot twists and turns and WTF moments. And that cliffhanger! Omg. To this day, I still declare Meghan the cliffhanger queen. Warning: DO NOT THROW YOUR KINDLE AND BREAK IT! That’s all I’ll say on that topic. Book 2 will be here soon,and you’ll have all your answers. Btw, you’re going to fall head over heels in love with both characters!
Okay, y’all. Just yes. Meghan March and her not quite legit or above board alpha men are going to do me in every single time. You may have met Cannon Freeman in Meghan’s earlier books, but you haven’t seen him like this. And, true to form, we’ve got a heroine who can more than hold her own in her dealings with the boss man, and mesmerize him while doing so. Drew Carson is a woman on a mission, and she’s not stopping until she’s got all the answers. If only keeping away from Cannon was as easy…
BLACK SHEEP has all the markings of Meghan’s best books, with characters that you’ll fall in love with right away, a tautly written plot that doesn’t let up, and, oh, yeah, plenty of those scenes. You know, the ones that make you wish you had a tall cool drink and a fan. But there’s more here than just insta-lust, and this is one book that you will not be able to put down.
And, yes, yes she did. As cliffie writer extraordinaire, Meghan brings this book to a close with a bang, one that’ll have you sitting on the edge of your seat and giving your retail site of choice the side eye, as you tap your fingers and wait for White Knight (Book 2) to be released. But, never fear, it won’t be long until you can get your hands on the sure-to-be-awesome wrap-up in this dirty duet. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and give the audiobook a listen, because Andi Arndt and Sebastian York have worked their usual magic, bringing these characters and their stories to vivid life. Because once around with Meghan’s books is never enough, so get yourself set up and enjoy.
Another intense and thrilling masterpiece that has left me on the edge of my seat while reading. Drew is just looking to find what she perceives to be justice for her father’s murder which places here on Cannon’s doorstep. Cannon is such a magnificent character who I absolutely adored. The bastard son of a mob boss who truly has the most tender soul. This book and the story line were such an incredible read with some scorching heat built in and such a great pace I found it difficult to slow down to savor. The emotions for all the characters are intense and I truly adored so many of the side characters that were written in this story too.
WOW!!! Action, intrigue, passionate, and mystery! This book is captivating! The characters are amazing! Megan March has hit it out of the park again!
