Oooh...scary

****3.5 Stars****

I can't pinpoint why, but I found myself more disgusted than scared of these Mafia men. Sure, I'm told that they kill and do horrible things but I didn't really feel it. If anything, the worse they did was make sleazy comments to women. There was a little pushing and shoving but I can get that in any contemporary romance. No one was tied to a chair, left in a windowless room for hours then intimidated into "talking". I guess that Black Sheep just wasn't what I expected.

Black Sheep is about a woman going undercover to infiltrate the mafia and find out who killed her father. The wig, contact lenses and heavy makeup don't hide her good looks and she soon comes under the radar of a man...a bad man. This is not how she planned to find out their secrets but she's willing to do whatever it takes to get answers. If she can only keep her heart from falling for the Black Sheep.

We get half the story in Black Sheep and we are left dangling at the end to suck us back for more in White Knight. This is something I've come to expect from Meghan March. While I'm not a fan of getting half stories, her loyal fans seem to love the torture. Fortunately for me, both books are out and I was able to listen to them as part of my Audible Escape package.

The narrators do a great job bringing this story to life and I found it very easy to listen to.

I will be back to find out how it all plays out but admit to a wee bit of eye-rolling with the insta-love between the hero and heroine. Hopefully, I'll be satisfied that their love is the real deal.

Oh my, oh my, oh my, Meghan March the queen of addictive reads has proven once again with her latest offering why she is deserving of the title. Black Sheep slowly reeled me in until I was completely hooked on Cannon and Drew’s story. I could not get enough.

This is the first book in the Dirty Mafia duet and it has a wicked cliffhanger ending that had me screaming at my kindle. I was aware there would be a cliffhanger, but I sure did not expect that shocker. Thank goodness, I received the arc for the sequel. I do not think my heart could manage the long wait.

Suspenseful, intense, sexy, passionate, provocative and addictive is how I would describe this story. It had me biting my nails, as I feared Drew’s secret would come to light, thereby placing her in extreme danger.

Meghan’s heroines are strong and independent, and Drew Carson was no different. She has balls of steel, infiltrating the mob world so she can gather evidence needed to take down the Casso crime family. Being an investigative journalist who has broken many stories, she had only to worry about getting out alive. Well, that was until she laid eyes on Cannon Freeman and she realized that not only did she put her life in danger, her heart was also at risk.

Cannon is the illegitimate son of the notorious mob boss Dominic Casso. I expected him to be ruthless and uncaring, but I met a man with a heart of gold. Not that under the right circumstances he would not become ruthless.

I loved Drew and Cannon. I thought they were great together. The way Cannon stepped up to protect her when his father had her in his cross hairs revealed his protective nature, which I found endearing.

Narration
This is my first time listening to Andi Ardnt and Sebastian York, and I loved their voices. They brought the characters and the story to life. I had fun listening to their narration.

Conclusion/Recommendation
Black Sheep provided an intense and suspenseful read that you cannot afford to miss
