Goodreads synopsis
Cara Pinkston, a 21 year old San Diego native, wants nothing more than to complete her final semester of college quietly and peacefully. A normally focused and reserved student, she becomes flustered after meeting her incredibly good-looking and wealthy classmate, Jason Bradley.
Jason wants Cara, and pursues her aggressively. A reluctant Cara gives in to him and is thrust into a fast paced, emotionally charged, roller coaster relationship. She has to decide if the flutters she feels are blissful butterflies or warning signs. Will Cara follow her lustful heart, or will she pay attention to the Red Flags?




I had no expectations when I started reading this book. I read no reviews or spoilers because I wanted to approach it with an open mind. It's so hard to do these days with spoilers floating around the Internet. I was instantly intrigued by both Jason and Cara on the first page. This story takes off fast, and I was trying to wrap my head around the plot very early on.

Red Flags are signs that show up in certain situations during different points in a relationship. All too often women get wrapped up in a relationship with a guy, and he turns into a manipulative control freak. Even the strongest of women feel that they can change these types of men, and they fail at the attempt.

I really enjoyed Cara's character, I felt like I connected with her the most. She was real. I will admit there were times that I wanted to scream at her through my kindle, but I sympathized with her more than anything. All too many times I read books where the heroine can just turn off her feelings in a relationship, and that is not realistic to me. It's hard when you are emotionally and physically so invested in a relationship, and you are blindsided by events that take place.

I did not like Jason at first, but by the end of the book he was alright. The book was well written, and I couldn't put it down. The cliffhanger at the end left me speechless. The emotional roller coaster of a story left me dizzy when I finished

I enjoyed Red Flags, and I do advise to anyone reading the book to give it a chance and finish. I will admit, this book is not for everyone. Once you get through some pretty nerve racking parts, the character's will start to develop, and you're questions will start to be answered. There will be a sequel, and I will be reading it!

I give this book a 3.5-4 stars.
