The rules of attraction are put to the test. What's worse is the feelings he gets for Kiara, the college professor's daughter. Then he's sent to live with one of Alex's college professor's and feels totally out of place.

Carlos wants nothing to do with following any rules. I also LOVE that she doesn't put up with Carlos' bull but gives it right back to him! TEAM KIARA!Ĭarlos Fuentes is sent to live with his older brother Alex in Colorado. She is strong in her weakness and despite her disability, she doesn't let it hold her back. She may not be the most beautiful outwardly but her inner beauty shines through in her willingness to love those around her fully and without conditions. I think Kiara is my favorite of all the girls that come in and out of the Fuentes boys' lives. He struggles with being able let his guard down enough to be loved by this family and the one girl who can help him change his life and heal his heart, maybe forever. While there, he learns what real love is, the kind that has no boundaries and no limits. While in Colorado, the Fuentes brothers discover that they still can't escape the Latino Blood Gang and in order to protect Carlos, he is sent to live with Kiara and her family. Things like, how to fix cars, play an awesome prank (cookie anyone?) and how to kick your butt at soccer but the best things might be how they see right through your bull and are full of unconditional love.

The hot chicas can be trouble in more ways than one and the ones you aren't looking at can be hiding some pretty interesting things under those big baggy T's of theirs. He soon finds out (just like Alex did) that looks can be deceiving. This is irritating to Carlos because he doesn't want a babysitter and he's all about the 'hot chicas', like Madison. She is 'not hot' (Carlos' words) and dresses like she could go mountain climbing at any minute. On his first day of school, Carlos is assigned a peer guide named Kiara to show him around for the first week. His mother decides to send him to Colorado to live with Alex in the hopes that he can still turn his life around but Carlos is anything but happy about it. (Is there a Spanish word for 'snarky'?) Carlos finds himself living in Mexico with his mother and younger brother Luis at the end of 'Perfect Chemistry' but has apparently, gotten himself into trouble there. He's the hot Fuentes brother with major attitude. 'Rules of Attraction' (Book 2) is Carlos' story.
