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. (-book jacket sleeve)
Review: I loved Perfect Chemistry with Alex and Brittany because of their romance. And... Rules of Attraction did not disappoint. Carlos story is right up there with older brother Alex, but if you're a hopeless romantic, you might favor Perfect Chemistry over Rules of Attraction. But if you're into adventure and another bad boy/good girl story, you'll enjoy this one even so.
Carlos and Kiara are a fun mix. This book had laugh out loud moments because Kiara is a lively character and Carlos reaction towards Kiara's paybacks are down right hilarious. I loved Kiara more than I did Brittany (in book one). Kiara has a quirky toughness to her, and her love for over-sized t-shirts, hiking boots and old cars just about balances out the cocky wisecracks that Carlos is so well known for.
Pick this one up for sure.
Rating: 4/5
Swooning over the Fuentes brothers much?
