I have been a fan of Meghan March’s since I picked up my first a couple years ago and I haven’t been able to pass one up since. Her talent has grown leap and bounds and she just keeps getting better.
This book had me in its clutches from the beginning. I was full of so many questions as the book went on and anticipating what was going to happen, how they would get out or if they could and so much more. The progression of their relationship and the ones around them and just so much more. By the end of this book my jaw was on the ground and I was speechless. I can’t wait until I get my hands on the next. There is nothing better than a Meghan March cliffhanger to keep you on the edge of your seat.
I listened to this and absolutely loved it. This was my first book by Meghan March and I thought it was perfect. The mix of suspense, story, mafia alpha, smart heroine, chemistry, and emotions was just right. It does end with a cliffy but its not out of left field or annoying. Plus the second book is already available which means you don’t have to wait if you don’t want to dive right into the next one. I have become a Meghan March fan and look forward to reading her other work now too.
Right from the get-go I was hooked. We’ve been waiting for Cannon’s story and boy, was it worth it. Meghan March weaves the intricacies of the underworld, but she always leaves us breathless and wanting more. This story is complex and makes you question everything. A must-read.
This story will take you for a ride into the Casso crime family and leave you impatiently waiting for White Knight. The cliff hangers in Meghan March books always leave you needing the next book. Can’t wait to finish this story!
This book is EVERYTHING I love from Meghan March! It’s sinfully sexy, intense, suspenseful, and did I say sexy?!
I love Cannon! Cannon Freeman is a man who is all alpha protective, a little bit bad boy, but mostly he’s a really good guy! He’s like the good guy in the family of bad guys. He doesn’t quite fit in, but is loyal and loves them through all their faults.
Drew is an amazing heroine! One of my favorites Meghan has written. She’s strong, independent, intelligent, and extremely inquisitive! She goes in like the badass she is to find the truth about her father’s death. Taking on the mob takes some big balls! And Drew has them!
The cliff hanger made me gasp out loud literally! I just kept saying OMG OMG OMG! Talk about intense! I just wanted MORE!
Meghan has done it yet again. I don’t know how, but she always manages to weave a story that sucks me in. Black Sheep is no different. She takes you undercover into the mob world. What will we find out? Is everyone who they seem? You will find yourself questioning characters that you never thought you would, and trusting those you thought you wouldn’t.
I LOVE seeing the ties to characters in her other books. It’s an entire world she builds, not just individual stories. That is what sets her apart from other authors.
This is a duet so be warned…there is a cliffhanger, and it’s a doozy.
I can’t wait to read the conclusion!!
Meghan March knows how to draw in her readers with stories that intrigue as well as yield emotion and intensity. Black Sheep is fast paced, action packed, full of passion, and very enticing. And of course, it wouldn’t be one of hers without a delicious cliffhanger at the end.
Cannon Freeman is sexy, formidable, and loyal. He is a man of integrity and one who also has a heart that he keeps hidden. He’s just in a hard spot with a mob boss as a father. But he does walks the line, what choice does he really have?Drew Carson is a chameleon. It’s her job that allows her that ability. While she is beautiful, she is smart, fierce and has a drive for justice as well. But as fate would have it, these two are drawn to one another when they meet. It wasn’t in the plans, but it never is when fate is involved. As Drew and Cannon get closer, the secrets and lies get harder to keep. Will they lead to their downfall or just tie them closer together?
This author with her sexy alpha hero and her strong, resilient heroine, creates an intriguing story that is full of passion and fire, grit and suspense that borders on life and death. Cannon has decisions to make as well as Drew. The ending leaves you wondering and hoping that Cannon and Drew will join forces in White Knight. Will the Black Sheep become the White Knight and win the girl? Thank goodness answers will be coming soon!!
Cannon Cannon Cannon how many times do I have to say I love you…this is a great read. I loved the beginning of cannon’s story. Meghan March knows how to write crazy alphas and strong heroines.
this is the start of a great new series. I can’t wait for more books.
Cannon is the black sheep of the family and shouldn’t fall for Drew but he does and the sparks fly. the intensity, passion and suspense are what drove me to love this book. I can’t wait for the second part to come out so I have more of Cannon goodness. please one click Black sheep its a great start to a crazy story.
I think this is Meghan’s best work yet! It grabbed me from the first page and kept me on the edge of my seat. Cannon and Drew have chemistry that should be illegal! And oh my what a cliffhanger! Anxiously awaiting “White Knight”.
Black Sheep by Meghan March blew me away! Drew and Cannon’s story was full of mystery, danger and full of passion. Drew is out for revenge and Cannon is her way in. Little does she know what’s in store for her though as she infiltrates the night club owned by the Casso Mafia let alone having Cannon in her life!
I truly enjoyed Drew & Cannon’s story and I could not stop reading this book. When that cliffhanger hit…UGH! I cannot wait for book two!
I’m a huge fan of March and her writing and couldn’t wait to dive into Black Sheep especially since we’re back in the ‘Dirty’ world. I will admit I wasn’t sure how I would take to Cannon from all the little bits he pops up in other books but wow, I LOVE him. He’s smooth, seductive, all alpha and will sweep you right of your feet.u2063
Drew. She’s looking for justice for her father and is going undercover to try and bring down the mob starting with Cannon, who she thinks can help her in this plight. What she isn’t expecting is the way Cannon makes her feel when he’s around. Their connection is immediate and the sexual tension flows between them. I loved her character, she was smart, confident and not afraid to take risks.u2063
Cannon, wow, there is so much more to him than we’ve previously seen and although the illegitimate son of Dominic Casso and being involved in his father’s business, he does well to keep his actions above board. He’s intense, passionate and will protect what’s his.u2063
As the story develops, Drew starts to make little mistakes making Cannon aware that she is hiding something. He finds out her secret, hiking up the suspense and pulling you in fully to the story. u2063
This book with reel you in with its seductive charm and easy flow with its well paced plot and twists and turns along the way. I’m in awe of its brilliance and devoured it in one sitting. As always, March provides great characters, hot scenes, an amazing story and a cliffhanger that left me reeling for more and I can’t wait for the next instalment!u2063

Black Sheep will have you begging for more!!
The worlds that Meghan March creates in her mind are absolutely fabulous. This book will have you sucked in from the start. This story is intriguing and sexy. Cannon is from the Mafia world but is he truly a “bad” guy? Drew Carson meets him while she is undercover. Little do they both know that love knows no bounds. Can this ever work between the two of them? We will have to wait for White Knight to see how it all plays out…but Black Sheep is definitely worth the read. It will leave you begging for more!!
The best part about this book is Cannon Freeman!
Discovering who he is and what he’s up against, made this book such a thrilling joy ride!
Cannon Freeman is the illegitimate son of Teflon NYC crime boss.
Teetering between the right side and the wrong side of the law, the big question is…
Who is Cannon Freeman?
That’s is the question, mysterious new employee, Drew Carson is trying to figure out.
Except…who is she?
Fast paced, this sexy, insta attraction read is book 1 in the Dirty Mafia Duet. This installment set the chess pieces in motion.
The question both are facing is what are you willing to do for family?
It turns out this book was just fun to read!
Full of unexpected twists and turns this, NOTHING is what it appears!
The characters were likable and so deliciously crafted, even the secondary characters were enjoyable. The insta attraction and banter between the characters was steamy and full of nyc snark.
Told in dual POV, I thought the story was going in one direction but it wasn’t.
Who’s who and what’s what, is left to figure out in book 2.
Book 2 cannot be read fast enough!!
I absolutely LOVED this book. I have read every one of Meghan’s books (which I feel speaks volumes), and this woman is NEVER predictable to me.
I’m so freaking excited that Cannon finally has his own story!! I loved the mystery, danger, and intrigue of the Casso family so it’s good to be back. He’s one beautiful black sheep and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the story plays out!
4.5 stars
Cannon is a bastard son of Mafia Leader, Dom Casso. Cannon is smart, he stays on the periphery of all business dealings, working/running an upscale lounge/restaurant in Manhattan. In search of a new waitress, he hires Drew Carson. His attraction to her is instantaneous, but he knows she’s keeping something from him.
Drew Carson took the position as waitress for one reason only, to get near the Mafia and find out who ordered her father to be murdered. What she didn’t expect her attraction to Cannon. And now she is in way over her head. Keeping her personal life separate from this is harder than she thought.
Will Drew be able to keep her secrets forever?
I loved this and devoured it in one day. Trust me when I say, you won’t be able to put it down. Grab a copy today!
I’m Blown Away!! I believe this is one of Meghan’s best books so far! From beginning to end you are immersed into intrigue, suspense and the challenges of right and wrong. OMG, The chemistry between Cannon and Drew is combustible beyond belief! Once again, Meghan’s cliffhanger leaves you wanting so much more!!!
Black sheep or not, Cannon Freeman has had my attention since Meghan March introduced readers to him in her previous stories, and now that he is front and center in the Dirty Mafia Duet, I was beyond ready to get to know this alpha male who has played and continues to play a chameleon of sorts, ensuring that he does enough to remain somewhat of an upstanding business owner in the eyes of the law and a potential key player in the Casso crime family; because even if he’s the bastard son of the head of the family, Dominic Casso, Cannon’s loyalty lies with his father; it has to…it’d be a costly and even deadly decision to completely turn his back on his father regardless of the fact that Dom doesn’t publicly claim him as his son.
As a reader, it’s important for me to understand what motivates and controls both the hero and the heroine, which is why my favorite stories are those that provide both of their perspectives; in Black Sheep, Cannon is definitely in a tenuous position, even more so when he can’t resist the pull he feels toward Drew Carson, his newest employee, and I need to be able to see/hear his struggles, identify why he’s not a pushover even if his father is a crime lord but also why he continues to do his father’s bidding, especially after the fallout with his half brother. And, getting chapters told from Cannon’s point of view proves a clear picture of everything that’s at stake and why he makes the choices he does when it comes to his businesses, his time, and most importantly, his growing attraction to a woman who could, not only bring him to his knees, but leave him in more than one compromising position.
Drew is used to wearing a mask; as an investigative reporter, she works her way to the truth slowly and meticulously, but with the personal nature of her current ‘job,’ she must ensure that her emotions do not become compromised or that she doesn’t lose sight of her goal, which is justices in its highest and purest form.
I feel like Black Sheep, even if the title insinuates differently, is more Drew’s story than Cannon’s, partly because of the reasons behind her infiltration of Cannon’s life as well as the fact that she has a clear objective that she needs to remain focused on and her growing feelings for Cannon are a problem – one that she needs to figure out how to deal with before everything she’s worked for blows up in her face.
The dark, dangerous, and downright deviant worlds that March creates for her enigmatic heroes and heroines provide an arena for her characters to either toe the line or dive headfirst into chaos, and like her previous characters, finding a balance and watching their backs while moving forward to achieve their end game is overwhelming for both Cannon and Drew, especially when they realize just how much they’ve gotten under each other’s skin.
Black Sheep feels like an intense game of chess, and while some moves have been made, there’s still a ways to go and what that means for all of the players, especially Cannon and Drew, remains a work-in-progress, so readers will have to wait and see what moves the hero and heroine have left to play in Black Knight.
4.5 Poison Apples
FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!
This is one of my most favorite genres, and this story is intensely emotional, martefully well-written, with brilliant character development, and a memorable page-turning plotting that’ll pull you in, keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time, and knock-you-to-your-knees with that cliffhanger.
Black Sheep is an extraordinary emotional ride that leaves you breathless and yearning for more. Author Meghan March did an exceptional job with her vivid and endearing storytelling, by bringing Cannon’s story in all his glory!!
OMG, what an amazing ride!!
I love Meghan March books and this is a great one. Black Sheep the first book of the Dirty Mafia Duet introduces Cannon Freeman’s world. Cannon runs the mostly legal side of his father Dominic Casso’s business, try to stay away from the mob part. Drew Carson is an undercover investigative journalist trying to find out about her father’s death, she is sure Dom had something to do with it. Drew is hired to work at an exclusive club Cannon runs and is looking for answers. This book is hot with loys of mystery, angst, and intrigue. The relationship between Drew and Cannon is smoking hot in true Meghan March fashion. This is another well-written story with amazing characters. It is a cliffhanger be warned but I think it will be worth the wait to read the ending to this one.
