Twisty and turny...

I'm very pleased to say that I enjoyed listening to White Knight. I wasn't sure after reading the first instalment as I'm not a huge fan of purposeful deception. I know that undercover stories are all about telling lies, but some do it better than others. In this case, I liked that once the truth came out, the deception and lies were cleared between the hero and heroine.

The pace was good, the storyline was entertaining, and the narrators kept me enthralled from start to finish. There were a few shocks that were revealed by the end and I can honestly say that I hadn't guessed a few of them at all. There was one particular one that was revealed and I would LOVE to know more about her and her "deception and lies" career.

Again, I do think the hero and heroine fell into love too quickly and their dedication and devotion to each other was a little unrealistic. Yes, lives were in danger and emotions were high, but, seriously, they had just met each other and they were thinking forever and ever kind of thoughts.

I find it hard to imagine, without serious and lengthy contemplation, falling in love with someone connected to the mafia. Mind you, I can't even imagine having a simple conversation with someone armed, let alone someone who would use a gun on a person. I could never have done what the heroine did and have lusty thoughts about her target. But, that's why I read/listen to stories like this...to step away from reality.

In the end, the Dirty Mafia Duet was pretty entertaining. The second instalment was definitely better than the first. The narrators do an amazing job bring Meghan March's characters to life and I hope to hear more from this duo in the future.

OMG, Meghan March sure knows how to weave a tale of intrigue and romance. Once again, she has delivered a story that was not only engaging, but also exciting, suspenseful and full of passion. She whetted my appetite with Black Sheep and satisfied my hunger with White Knight.

Drew and Cannon may just be my favourite Meghan March couple, and that is saying a lot, because they are all awesome. I enjoyed their interaction with each other, which was sexy and laced with humour. Cannon’s protective nature shined in this installment. The lengths to which he would go to protect those he cared about knew no bounds. Despite his show of strength, his vulnerability revealed itself occasionally.

Drew will learn that things are never usually, as they appear. She also discovered shocking truths about herself. I sure never saw that one coming. March provided no warnings before dropping that bombshell. Drew’s conflicting emotions because of the shocking revelation jumped off the pages.

White Knight may not have been suspenseful as it predecessor, but it still had the ability to keep me on the edge of my seat as it had some exciting scenes. There were moments when I wondered if Drew’s identity would be revealed, subsequently placing her in danger. There were also moments where I worried about Cannon. Would his love for Drew place him in harm’s way?

I loved how the author delved into the world of the Mafia in this installment. I learnt a lot about the Casso family. She highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of being a part of this world.

Narration
Andi Arndt and Sebastian York collaborated on this recording. My first experience with their work was with Black Sheep, and I thought they did an excellent job then. This time was no different. I thought they captured the tone of the story well and it was a pleasure listening to them both.

Conclusion / Recommendation
Overall, a great story and one I would recommend to fans of the author, and for readers who love spicy and suspenseful romance.
