A tragic anti-hero who deserves better (from his family and his girlfriend)
Oh holy guacamole, what a cliffhanger! Having read other multi-installment books by Meghan March, I of course knew something like this could happen, but I still couldn’t resist it and nothing could have prepared me for this. I don’t know yet how I am gonna survive until October 1st, when White Knight, the second book in the Dirty Mafia Duet comes out. Drew Carson holds the Casso crime family responsible for the death of her father and she wants to find out what really happened. In order to get close to the family she insinuates herself as a waitress/bartender into the Upper Ten, an exclusive NY club for the rich an powerful, which is being managed by Cannon Freeman, who is the unacknowledged bastard son of the head of the Casso family. Only she didn’t consider feeling this intense attraction to Cannon and working for him makes her realize he is actually a decent human being. As events force them closer together, neither of them is able to fight their mutual attraction anymore and they start a passionate affair. Drew starts to question her plan of using Cannon to bring the Casso family down as she develops real feelings for him, but before she can come clean, things take a dramatic turn and both Drew and Cannon have to decide where their loyalties ultimately lie. I have to say I was not too keen on Drew’s subterfuge, especially her keeping it up after she gets close to Cannon, as I felt she was being unfair to him. This impression was reinforced by Cannon’s tragic background, despite which he still has kept this core of integrity, which shows in all of his actions. So. I am really hoping for a happy ending for him (and for his half-brother to forgive him for things that were outside his power) and if he wants Drew he should get her, even though she doesn’t really deserve him. 4.25 stars, because I really dig Cannon, otherwise it would probably be a bit less.

    ***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 b$%#S 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!

    Another GREAT story by Meghan March!!! I love how her mind works. Her stories always suck me in right from the start. If you haven’t read a book from Meghan March….what are you waiting for?? You need to start this fabulous journey NOW!!

    Black Sheep is filled with suspense, secrets, deception and romance. Exactly what you have come to expect from a Meghan March book.

    Her books always grab me right from the first page and don’t let go until the last page. And as usual she hits us with a heck of a Cliffhanger!!! So as you can guess Black Sheep is NOT a standalone novel. I can’t wait for White Knight to come out….I need to know what happens!!!

    Black Sheep is the first book in the Dirty Mafia Duet. It is the start of Drew and Cannon’s story. Yes there has been glimpses of Cannon from previous books, but I don’t feel that they have to be read before enjoying this book. I thought this was an exciting start to their story. I know I can’t wait to see where this story goes. As with most Meghan March’s books I can’t talk about the storyline at all. Everything I want to say is a spoiler for other readers. Just know you will WANT to read this book. Just know the intrigue and intensity of this story will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages as fast as you can.

    As I said this story is fast paced and captivating. It is told in Dual POV. I loved that fact because I loved being inside both Drew and Cannon’s head. It truly helps the reader connect with the characters better.

    I could ramble on and on about this book and this author but I will just leave you with this… READ THIS BOOK!!! You won’t be sorry!!!.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read from Meghan March
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2019
    Meghan March never disappoints and this duet was no exception. I don't like to be frightened or repulsed by violence and meanness and Meghan March has managed to write a book about a mob without upsetting me. I admired Cannon Freeman's moral compass. We have come across Dominic Casso and some of the other characters in passing in other books.

    My one BIG complaint is that this duet is not available to download as an audiobook from iTunes. It is twice as expensive to download it through Audible which I am not prepared to do. I am not sure whether it is something arranged by Amazon, Meghan's agent or the author herself, but it is not appreciated and I wait in hope of getting the audiobook through iTunes in the fullness of time.

    Reviewed in Australia on September 14, 2019
    WOW WOW WOW, Meghan does it every time, sucks you in with her Alpha characters and heroines. I have been a MM fan since I started reading this genre and Ms March 2.5 years ago, and all I can say is thank fod I found her(along with a couple of others).
    Cannon Freeman, what is there not to like about Cannon Freeman, love lust dream want, this man seeps inside of you and does not want to leave, well you don't want him to.
    Bad reputation step brother x friend of Creighton Karas, not accepted by Creighton or his dad, a result of an affair that Cannons late mother had with Dominic Casso, head of the Casso Crime Family of NY.
    If you know Meghan's writing then I do not explain the plot as it would be a bad judgement on your side to not read it.
    I especially love how MM intertwines her characters and we first meet Cannon Freeman in the Dirty Billionaire Series with Creighton & Holly. In this series we are introduced to Cannon and the links to the Mafia Family. He totally stuffs up with Creighton and you think its the end of Cannon's story.
    Nope MM kept Cannon a secret from us and teased us this year with what was to come with Cannon's story.
    Thank god I stuck around to see him finally "appear' and appear he has.
    Beware though, It leaves you hanging......... for the next instalment White Knight. Because believe me this man is no Black Sheep, despite the family he is associated with and not by choice.
    Drew is Cannons's achillie's heel, Drew Carson our heroine hoping to right the wrong done to her cannon's father, Dominic Casso and family, but as time goes on Drew comes to realise her feelings for Cannon and questions her whole opinion and feelings of this Sexy secretive man.
    I knew I was in for a ride with this book, just like all MM"s other books (which I am proud to say I have, all of them on Kindle) Paperbacks are the dream.
    This series especially I want, I need.
    Thank you Meghan, how can I not love and respect the writings of The Lady in the Sexy Red Dress with the smacking red lips.
    Bring on White Knight.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2019
    Drew one top girl, is desperate to get a job at top ten Cannon’s club. Her friend feeds her a lot of stories about this guy. He doesn’t get involved with the people he employs. He does do relationships and he is the bastard son of Dom Casso a lethal Mafia Boss. Only one fact is true. Drew is not whom she seems either. Out to find who killed her Dad and take them down, via evidence that will give a solid case of guilt. The drama is knife edge. Cannon is dreadfully desirable. Drew is one either brave lady or an idiot. Dom is intimidating, over powering and sinister. Also patronising and demeaning towards Cannon. Great to acknowledge previous characters, who indirectly have influenced Cannon’s predicament. One heck of a cliffhanger. Great romance, wonderfully written and yes I want more.
