NO SPOILERS!
Black Sheep was a sexy, suspenseful, and addicting start to the Dirty Mafia Duet, and I absolutely loved it! Meghan March’s writing gets better and better with every new release, and I loved the storyline and characters she created. I fell head over heels in love with Cannon and Drew, and I’m dying to read the conclusion to their story in White Knight! The Dirty Mafia Duet is definitely shaping up to be another MUST READ from Meghan March!
This was an intriguing start to the duet. I took a little time to sink my teeth into the story but by about a third of the way in I was hooked.
I really liked Drew, she’s got a backbone made of steel and although there was moments I thought she wavered slightly she dug deep and forged ahead with her ultimate goal. I loved her instant attraction to Cannon. I liked that she didn’t shy away too much and went for what her heart truly wanted.
Cannon I had to warm too a little bit, I’d forgotten who he was in relation to previous characters set in this universe but once I remembered the ties I remembered my previous impressions of him. He’s an interesting character and I felt that we’ve only just scratched the surface. I think we’re going to see his true worth in the second book when he finally takes a stand and shows his true strength of character. I loved his thoughts and feelings towards Drew and I think she’s in very safe hands.
I cannot wait to read the second book, I think it’s definitely going to be one that I won’t want to put down until Ive devoured every page.
I was swept away into this story. This is book 1 of a duet, so know that it ends in a duet. I was always intrigued with Cannon from another Meghan March book and I’m glad that we get his story now. The chemistry between him and Drew is hot and real. You can feel the heat between them. I love that Drew wants to to truly be herself around him and not just who she pretends to be. There is a lot of intrigue and suspense here and I loved it! Bring on book 2!
Oh man how intriguing this story is! Cannon is mysterious at first but then we really get to know another side of him. Our heroine is even more mysterious and intriguing. But i’m really falling for her as well. Together the 2 are explosive together and their chemistry is sweet but steamy. The storyline kept me page turning with all the secrets and mystery. Can’t wait for the second part!!
Oh things are heating up! Just like with her other books, this book has an awesome story with intriguing characters and had me turning each page with eager eyes! Can’t wait to read the next one!
Wow Wow Wow! Meghan totally raised the bar with this one. The chemistry between Cannon and Drew is off the charts and their story is exceptional, I was totally depressed when this story ended and the cliffhanger OMG Cannon is a total Alpha and Drew has some serious lady balls. You can feel the sparks flying between them. Cannon wants nothing to do with his mob family but he’s unable to cut all ties. Drew is looking for the person responsible for her fathers death. She gets a job in a club Cannon owns in order to investigate his family. This storyline was engaging and it hooked me from page one! This cliffhanger has me biting my nails. Bravo Meghan!
It is at moments like this that I wish I were a writer with the gift of word so I could describe how much I liked this book. It wasn’t only that it had a magnificent and intriguing plot, but the mixture of characters was awesome too! The female characters that this author creates are women warriors. If I were to describe them like you would describe a wine, you would say that they have a sharp taste of courage with undertones of sensuality and a strong accent of assertiveness. In this case, Drew was all that and also very intelligent, sweet and loyal.
I found that the male character was a little more vulnerable than the previous ones I’ve read. He’s alpha but there’s a neediness that didn’t awaken until he met Drew. This neediness wasn’t just lust and wanting to possess her, but wanting to belong to her. I found it sooo sexy!
The pace was fantastically fast, just how I like it, and the writing was fresh, sharp, brilliant, with some funny comments. One such instance that shows what I mean is: “Emotion rolls off him in nearly visible waves, and all I can think is, Thank you, God. It’s been a good ride. Whatever happens next, I know I brought it on myself.” Another gem: “He knows. I know he knows. He knows I know he knows too.”
It was delightful, I enjoyed it very much, and I can’t wait now to start White Knight. As per instructions, I can’t reveal spoilers, so suffice to say that Cannon belongs to a Mafia family although he lives on the fringes and he is on the right side of the law but on the very border of it. Drew is undercover and determined, but pretty soon loses her determination in the face of love. It’s a beautiful love story with nuances of suspense and danger, where everyone balances in the gray areas of good and bad and sometimes the lines blur and you’re not so sure what is wrong or right. Hugely entertaining and a blockbuster page turner!
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
All Cannon wanted was to have his father recognize him as one of his children. He did everything that was asked of him and still kept his nose clean as the son of mafia boss – Dom Casso.
He currently runs a legit club for Dom and has never been tempted by any of the women working for him. That is until Drew Carson walks into his club and tempted him from the start. Cannon and every other mobster that comes into the joint.
There’s definitely something different and special Drew Carson. Though Drew has a huge secret. One that can come back to bite her in the butt.
Of course with a duet you know there’s going to be somewhat of a hook at the end to get you to read the next one. This definitely has that hook. Cannon and Drew have their work cut out for them to keep her safe and out of the clutches of his father.
No fate like death. Right?
Holy smokes! Meghan March has done it again! She has crafted a world like no other that will take her readers deep inside the intricacies of the mob!
Transfixing readers with multifaceted, rich characters, Drew and Cannon proved to keep the story’s readers twisted in knots and mesmerized by their immediate and combustible chemistry.
Anyone familiar with March’s work knows, the woman is the queen of cliffhangers and this book ends in a way that will have you holding your breath! So grab ahold and read as if your life depends on it – because it just might!
As Always, Happy Reading!
“5/5 Beaming Brains!” – Lit-Up My Mind
OMG, this book was awesome. Meghan has done it again. Drew and Cannon are just so WOW. You will get pulled into the story and the characters will seem so real. It will be like you are right there beside them, living through what they are going through and seeing what they see. You are going to feel every emotion as if it was your own. You are not going to want to put this book down and then you have no choice because you are hit with a cliffhanger but you know with Meghan’s books, it will be all worth it in the end. Meghan never disappoints. She just has a such way with stories that will always keep you wanting more. I have loved her work since Beneath this Mask and I continue to love it more and more each day. One last note – bring on book 2. I have to know how this ends.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
Black Sheep is book one of the Dirty Mafia Duet and Meghan March went all in. Before you start reading Black Sheep, be sure you have the time, because this is not a story you will put down until after you are finished. It is just that addicting! Actually, as I read this story I often found myself thinking “this is not a story but the basis for a movie.”
Cannon sits atop his world. The smoke and glitz are of his making and his alpha male powers and looks are recognized by all far and wide. Yet Cannon is but a pawn in the bigger universe he lives in. Hurt is a known companion, aversion his best friend. He keeps his world tuned and tight, But we all know when the mafia is involved, the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And when you are the black sheep, all eyes are on you.
Drew is a woman on a mission. Unbeknownst to her, her beauty cannot be hid and while her sights are focused, others have their eyes on her for other reasons. Touch, smart, strong, agile, she has set the wheels in motion on her task and will stand strong until her mission is complete. This is not her first time playing this game. But this time, Drew’s mission has a much more personal purpose, and she is reminded of the hurt caused each day.
This is not your everyday story of love. This is the start of a battle that leads Cannon and Drew down a road neither saw coming. The heat between them is out of this world hot and Meghan brings their passions full focus with each page and word. Known for bringing the surroundings to life in her stories, Meghan has outdone herself with this story. The surroundings will make you feel more at home, more attuned to what is at stake, and more aware of the world our characters live in because you will find yourself living there also. Immersion is a word that comes to mind when I think of how involved I was in this story. Even when I got to the last words on the last page I was still wrapped tight with these characters, waiting to see what will happen next.
It is not enough to say this book is good, amazing, great, etc. This is a movie in its raw form and there are not enough stars to give on this site. As much as I loved this, I cannot wait to see how the rest plays out. Great Job!
Holy Hell Meghan! Cannon just surged over Lord & Forge as my #1 Book boyfriend! *Let’s take a moment & actually picture that* Ok, moving on…. I do believe this is my next read!
Sooo much I want to say, but I can’t say, but I wanna say, but I won’t say…. I read it in one sitting! And that ending…. bring on White Knight! Well Done!
I loved Cannon and I think you will too!
Secret, lies, drama, intrigue and raw sexual tension, Meghan March’s Black Sheep had it all. We’ve waited on bated breath. Hoping and praying that we would one day get Cannon Freeman’s story. Now that it’s here I can honestly say it DOES NOT DISAPPOINTS! I am obsessed. So fully and immersed in this fast-paced, addictive world. I was drawn in from the very beginning. I didn’t put the story down until I reached the end. Where, of course, the cliffhanger queen struck again with another epic and jaw dropping ending. I am dying to have book 2 in my hands.
Can I say how much I love Cannon?! I’m gonna go ahead and add him to my list of favorite Meghan March heroes. He’s oozes sexiness and brilliance. Yet, there’s an underling vulnerability to him because he is the bastard son of Dominic, the head of Casso crime family. He doesn’t get the same level of care or protection as his siblings even after doing everything that’s ask of him.
My heart goes out to him. It isn’t until Drew enters the picture and the threat of losing her to Dom where he begins to fight back.
Drew and Cannon have the most amazing chemistry. Their relationship is more instant lovey than I expected but that didn’t bother me because their connection couldn’t be denied.
Now, while I am wholeheartedly rooting for Drew and Cannon, their relationship isn’t the one I am most eager to see develop in the second book. Nope, my heart is longing for a Cannon and Creighton reconciliation. I so need them to be best friends again. The way Cannon talks about missing his friend hits me directly in the feels. *Fingers crossed* Here’s hoping we get something in book 2.
As I said above I can.not. wait to read the next book. I can only imagine how intense it’ll be. *grabby hands* Give me all the mafia epicness!!
OOOOMMMMGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m still hyperventilating especially after that cliffhanger. What in the world?!?! I don’t even know where to begin because I don’t want to spoil anything!!!! This is one that definitely needs to be read without knowing the spoilers so you can get a feel for the characters. Drew and Cannon met when she applied for a job at his club. He doesn’t mess around with employees but something about her just pulled him in. Drew had other intentions and falling for the son of the mobster wasn’t one of them. And then the story takes several turns and ahhhhhhh I need to read book 2. I don’t know how these two will survive but it’ll be extremely interesting to read.
Black Sheep is the first book in the Dirty Mafia Duet. I really loved this book! I loved Cannon and Drew. The instant chemistry they had was sizzling. I am dying to read book two!
