Tammy Blackwell's Reviews > Rules of Attraction

When I heard that there was going to be a follow-up to PERFECT CHEMISTRY I was a little weary. I mean, what else could be said about Alex and Brittany? I like the way their story ended and couldn't see how Elkeles could keep the magic alive in the second book. Honestly, I was worried that she would ruin everything.

Thank Shiny I was wrong.

RULES OF ATTRACTION is the follow-up to PERFECT CHEMISTRY, but not in a sequel kind of way. Sure Alex and Brittany are still there, but just in the background. This is the story of Carlos, Alex's equally-hot little brother. Carlos is none too happy about moving from Mexico to Colorado to be under the watchful eye of his big brother. And he's really not happy about all the white kids he forced to endure, especially his peer guide, Kiara.

In truth, I think I loved RULES OF ATTRACTION more than PERFECT CHEMISTRY. I found it much easier to relate to tomboy Kiara than too-perfect Brittany. Carlos is just as angsty and sexy as his brother, which will be a relief to all the female readers. I found myself once again wrapped up in Elkeles writing style, reading "just one more" short chapter until I have devoured the whole thing in one sitting. I can only hope that Elkeles has come to the same realization that I have - there is a third Fuentes brother out there needing to fall in love.
