"Rules of Attraction" by Simone ElkelesSynopsis:
If you loved Alex Fuentes, wait until you meet his brother Carlos...
Carlos Fuentes idolized his older brother, Alex, when he was a member of the Latino Blood. So when Alex chose to get jumped out of the gang for a chance at a future with his gringa girlfriend, Brittany, Carlos felt shocked and betrayed. Even worse, Alex forced Carlos to come back from Mexico to join him on the straight and narrow path. Trouble is, Carlos just wants to keep living on the edge. And ties to his Mexican gang aren't easy to break, even hundreds of miles away in Colorado.
In Boulder, Carlos has to live with one of Alex's college professors-- and he feels completely out of place. He's even more thrown by his strong feelings for the professor's daughter, Kiara, who is nothing like the girls he's usually drawn to. But Carlos and Kiara soon discover that in matters of the heart, the rules of attraction overpower the social differences that conspire to keep them apart.
Review:
Rating- ***** (stars)
This was a really good book. I loved the first book Perfect Chemistry even though I know a lot of people that didn't. Even if you weren't a big fan of the first book, there might still be a chance you'll like this one. Kiara is, overall, a better and stronger character than Brittany was in Perfect Chemistry. I really hope that Simone Elkeles writes a third book for the youngest Fuentes brother, Luis. This best part about both books is that there's an epilogue showing them when they are adults, it completes the story better than just ending it when they were kids. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that likes a good love story.
