Rules of Attraction Perfect Chemistry Simone Elkeles Books Reviews

I took my time reading this book, unlike I did with the first one; I still read it over a span of 24 hours though ) I must say that I enjoyed this book much more than I did the first one. Honestly I really think it was because the whole Mexican gang theme really wasn't there in this book. This book made me laugh out loud, I felt excited and happy, and I really felt the love that Carlos and Kiara had. I totally enjoyed Kiara's best friend Tucker that guy was HILARIOUS and the author had really great timing with his dialog! I really appreciated how the author portrayed Kiara's parents. Many times we see characters parents being closed minded and, well like how Brittany and Alex's parents were in the first book. I know a lot of parents are like that but it was refreshing to see parents who trust their children and children who trust their parents. And I really liked Kiara's little brother, he was really funny at times and he made the book a bit happier. I definitely connected more to Carlos and Kiara, and I really felt their love, experienced it as it blossomed, and I got that great love feeling when Carlos described his feelings towards Kiara. I did have a small grasp at that feeling when Alex told Carlos of the first time he knew he loved Brittany and now I think I need to go back and read the first book again. I also enjoyed how the author tied in Alex and Brittany so we were able to see how their relationship was developing two years after the first book took place. Once again we have an epilogue that some didn't enjoy, I enjoyed it a lot. I have liked these book's epilogues because it gives us a small glance into the characters futures. When we feel really attached to characters in books, we always think about how their lives would be years from when the books end; and it's nice to have a glimpse into that with these. I would really love to see not only the author possibly expand on the epilogue, but to possibly expand on Kiara's little brother when he is a teenager and definitely would love to see a book dedicated to Tucker. I purchased this as an eBook for my app for my iPhone and computer.
4 1/2 to 5 stars - In Rules of Attraction, Alex's little brother, Carlos, is sent from Mexico by their mom live with his brother, Alex, one of the main characters from the first book in the series, Perfect Chemistry, in Colorado where Alex is going to college. As with Alex, it's because Carlos is involved with a gang in Mexico, this one's called Guerreros del barrio. Carlos is less than happy with having to move in with Alex in his small apartment, with Alex's girlfriend, Brittany and with his new peer guide, Kiara Westford.

Even though everyone thinks Carlos has left trouble behind, it finds him pretty quickly and he gets in trouble during his first week at school. To avoid being sent to a youth home, one of Alex's professors who has dealth with troubled kids before, offers to take Carlos in. Unfortunately, the professor happens to be Kiara's dad. So now, Carlos has to live with a white family that actually has a family night, rules he's expected to follow and he has to deal with Kiara, too.

There were similarities between this book and Perfect Chemistry a hot Fuentes brother with an attitude and a shady past, a rich white girl who's pretty much a goody two shoes and a situtation that arises which causes them to get to know each other and realize there's more to the other than meets the eye. However, I wasn't constantly thinking that this was a carbon copy of Perfect Chemistry. Kiara's family is close and they all love each other a lot. Her parents are actual characters in the book and not just mostly absent ones, as is the case in a lot of YA books. I liked Carlos as much as I liked Alex in the first book. His situation is different than Alex's because he's forced into the crap that he gets into and realizes he needs to get out of it, he's just not sure how. And I loved Kiara. She's tough, smart, funny and, while he does intimidate her some, she doesn't put up with Carlos' crap. I also loved her best friend, Tuck; he was loyal and freaking hysterical. He always tried to push Carlos' buttons and it usually worked.

I didn't think I'd like Rules of Attraction as much as Perfect Chemistry, but I think I may have actually liked it a little more, because Kiara was such a great female character and I liked the dynamic of her family. I'd definitely recommend this book.
This is book two in the Perfect Chemistry series. This book follows Carlos Fuentes. You met him in the first book in the series. He is the brother of Alex Fuentes. This is a great young adult series.
Carlos moves to Colorado after getting into trouble in Mexico, where he lived with his mom. His brother Alex sets him up to live with his former professor to help get his act together. This is where he meets Kiara. Kiara is the opposite of Carlos. Can being so different really lead to love? You’ll have to read this young adult love story to find out but hold on to your seats because lots of drama takes place throughout the whole book.
I have really enjoyed this series so far and this author. I want to continue reading the series and I am excited to hear that more books have been added to this series. If you love the young adult and new adult genres you will defiantly like this series and this author. 4 stars!
