Carlton can't stand Annie, or her attention -- or so they both think. When Annie worms her way into hooking up with him, he realizes that his strong feelings were misplaced. The line between love and hate is thin, so it is no wonder that the Heathen King mistook the emotions.
I was looking forward to Annie's story the most because she is the most relatable to the reader, because, let's face it, if we made it this far into the series, we are into the same dark interests that she is! That is probably the main reason she doesn't go running from Carlton with all the red flags. Well, that and because he doesn't really give her much choice. It was also great to learn about Carlton's backstory; it makes sense why he was the die-hard rule follower of the Kings when you learn about his tragic past. I'm intrigued to see who the next book is about... the ending hints at what the next plot line could be... the question is who? (My bet's on Mel!)

I didn’t think that I would like Carlton as he has always seemed cold but, I couldn’t have been more wrong. He cut himself off from emotion and when Annie came bursting into his life, everything changed.
I liked Annie. She seemed quiet and innocent. She was innocent but decided she would do anything to attract Carlton”s attention… and she did!
I thought that their chemistry was off the charts. The conversations were dark and raw and full of emotion.
I was pulled into this story and couldn’t put it down. I loved it. 5 stars!

I just finished book 3 and i must say that I did enjoyed it. The stories of each couples were keeping me entertained and the sex was interesting. Definitely not your vanilla kind of version and even better, not repetitive, which is a big plus. Overall a good series. Can't wait for the next book.

Awesome series
I read the whole series nonstop. I was looking for more, but i guys, this is it for now. I love how main characters interact with each other throughout the series. I hope mel has a story soon. The plots were great, the characters. Each book was different and exciting. Lots of hot sexy times. But check TW , they're noted for a reason. Lots of HEAs

HOLY SHIT! THIS WAS HOT!!!😅💦💥🔥🔥I couldn't put it down and read straight through!
Ana C. Blacklace has stuck again with another Amazing! steamy secret society stalker dark romance that's sure to have your panties soaked from beginning to end!
Red Flags is her newest book from her Dirty Billionaires series and it plunges readers into the murky, intoxicating world of secret societies, where desire and danger are inextricably linked. This isn't your typical romance—it's a journey into the depths of obsession, where love and control blur into something both thrilling and terrifying.
As Annie Jones is drawn deeper into the shadowy world of the Heathens after stalking Carlton on line pretending to be the sexy Lolita and selling her V card for one night as the mystery masked woman. She finds herself entangled with Carlton Wilde,king of the Heathens and a very powerful and enigmatic figure who exudes dominance and control at all times! His body is tattooed with his kills and he is feared by even those who follow him. Annie has all but thrown herself at Carlton from the beginning and has wanted his attention, but now that she's forced his hand is she really ready to have this monsters undivided attention or has she made the biggest mistake of her life after learning not only all his twisted fucked up kinks but his dark and deadly past! Their love story is a compelling mix of vulnerability and strength, and the dangers that come with loving someone who is a little fuck up from past experiences. Carlton is equally fascinating as both a protector and a predator, his complexity and adds depth to the story. And Annie's unapologetic sexuality in wanting and needing her fantasies fulfilled was very liberating. Ana C Blacklace is a wonderful writer and this is a excellent addition to this series!! If you're a fan of stories that delve into the darker aspects of love and lust, with elements of stalking, kidnapping, and hardcore sexual encounters, this book will captivate and consume you. Just be prepared for a wild, disturbing, and undeniably thrilling ride. Until next time Luv's💋😉
I never wanted a taste of Annie because once I did, I might not be able to stop, and something inside me always knew that.- Carlton
“I didn’t give her my heart. She fucking took it. As for the truth—” I scoff. “The truth is an ugly bitch, and you know it. If she saw who I really was, if she knew how to read the tattoos on my fucking body—”Carlton
I am an evil man with an obsession. A man that can survive anything, but will never survive you. A man who will fuck you in all the ways it takes for you to understand how utterly and completely you belong to him.”
“My need for you is an abyss with no bottom,”

Anaaaa, why do you make things so hard. Everytime you bring out a new book, you give me a new guy to fall in love with, to obsess over and i am literally obsessing over Carlton now. These two are just … OMG, i liked how open Annie was about her attraction to Carlton and him denying it all ugh so good! That moment in the church, from that moment on they get sucked into this whirlpool of chemistry and love and spice and i just couldn’t get enough of it.
The writing was incredible, i freaking loved the plot, i am obsessed with the spice, the dirty talking, the possesiveness of both of them. It was just so good! From start to finish!
