⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5Following tropes:~enemies to lovers~good girl/bad boy~high school romance~dual pov~ forced proximity~Rules of attraction is the book two on the series the perfect chemistry series. Carlos Fuentes lives in Mexico with his mother and younger brother Luis. But until he gets in trouble, his mother decides to send him to Colorado with his older brother Alex “for his own good”. See Alex was the rule breaker, was in a gang, until he gave all that up for his girlfriend Brittany. Since then he’s been focusing on having a better life for himself and his family. So moving back to Colorado was somewhat for Carlos because he thought everyone he knew was going to be there. But everyone had left and the school they knew has been taken over by rich kids. There he meets Kiara, who happens to be his peer guide to show him around the school. She was determined to change a bit for her senior year and she started with signing up to be a peer guide. They didn’t have a great first impression with each other but in their minds they thought they would never have to interact again. That is until Carlos gets busted with drugs in his locker and Alex doesn’t have a stable place yet, so he’s forced to move into Alex’s professors place. And Kiara happens to be the daughter of the professor.I loved this book. I first read the first book of the series Perfect Chemistry and I was hooked and had to get the rest. This is now Carlos and Kiara’s. I enjoyed more their character development and how kiara isn’t your typical Miss Golden popular girl, she was more you introvert shy girl. And how Carlos was able to bring her out of her comfort and how Carlos changed from being this rebel doing things his way to wanting to do things right just for her. It definitely was enemies to lovers and the forced proximity helped create a lot of tension between them.

    A Kindleobsessed review
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2010*

So we all know by know that I wasn't all that impressed with Simone Elkeles' "Perfect Chemistry" (some of you even shot me some pretty intense emails about it) so when I decided to read "Rules of Attraction" (which is the companion novel to PC,) I promised myself that I would look at it from all of the angles y'all insisted were so important.Now, while I stand behind my original objections to "PC" I am happy to say that  "Rules of Attraction" was back on mark for Elkeles' writing ability. (The ability that I fell in love with in her novel "Leaving Paradise") All of the things that I ranted about; the lack of equal character development, the vapidness of the heroine, and the sloppy writing in PC, were no longer present in this novel (thank God.)Carlos is a troublemaker, he is into drugs and gangs and pretty much anything else that would make a parents blood boil.  Kiara is... not a troublemaker.  She's a tom-boy with quick wit, and a inability to turn down challenges, she spends her time teaching art classes at retirement homes and climbing mountains with her gay best-friend Tuck.  Not exactly a match made in heaven right? But when Carlos is framed (think drugs... lots of them) and kicked out of his current sleeping situation he has only 2 choices... go to jail, or live at Kiara's.  Choosing the lesser of 2 evils Carol's makes the move... to a lovely little yellow polka-dotted room.  What happens when you finally realize the girl down the hall is more than just a T-shirt lovin wrench monkey? What happens when people start trusting you? And what is going to happen when the people that set you up, decided they aren't quite through with you?I was happy to see Elkeles bring back her natural flair for story telling.  Her angst scenes were captivating, pulling the reader in and out of moments, daring them to guess what would happen next.  Her characters were finally balanced, introducing their qualities in a steady stream of duel narration, and more importantly...I actually cared about what would happen to these people in the end of the novel (I even like Brittany more in this book. Go figure.)  This book is easily a stand alone (if you don't feel like backtracking to catch up) and if you are looking for something you can knock out in minimal time... this was a fairly quick read. (1 day for me)There were devious blondes, cookie magnets, rainy homecoming dances, family fun nights, several life altering decisions, and a missing $50 grand.There was plenty of action to keep the plot flowing and... just like last time, tons of Spanish slang (just in case you were needing to bone up on it.)This one is worth the money people! Get it, Live it, Love it... pass it on.Happy reading my fellow Kindle-ites and remember:  never show up to peer counseling with a shiner... it spurs way to many questions.

    a YA contemporary romance, with quite a slow-to-love couple
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2013*

(Source: Purchased on kindle from Amazon.co.uk for £2.49)Carlos is moving from Mexico to Colorado to live with his brother, and finish high school. He's got no time for a girlfriend, or any sort of complication to his life, and getting arrested for drug dealing is the last thing he wanted.Intent on not revealing the name of the kid who planted the drugs on him, Carlos ends up living with professor Westford and his family, whose daughter Kiara seems to be getting slowly under his skin.Carlos isn't boyfriend material though, he just wants a girl to screw around with, doesn't he?This is the second book in the `Chemistry' series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel (I haven't read the first one.)I liked this story, but for me it took a long time for the romance to kick in.Carlos is a pretty rough male lead, he's obviously lived in some not-nice places, and although his mother has done her best, he's not had the best of starts in life. He was pretty stubborn about not revealing the name of the drug dealer who set him up, even though he wasn't actually anything to do with him, and this probably revealed quite a lot about the things he learned as a teen.Underneath it all, quite a way underneath it all, Carlos was a good person, but in the beginning he was pretty rude to Kiara and her family, and probably didn't deserve the chance they gave him.For me the romance took a long while to build up in this book. At the beginning Carlos was not very nice to Kiara at all, I totally got why she wanted to play a practical joke on him to pay him back for some of his comments. That being said, as they slowly got to know each other a little better, Carlos wasn't quite so mean, but I certainly didn't see why Kiara was falling for him either.Things didn't really heat up between the pair until really late in the story; around the last10-15% of the book in fact, which was a little disappointing, but when they eventually got together things weren't even smooth sailing then.Kiara was an okay character, but while she seemed to have problems with stuttering during stressful moments, she didn't seem to have the same problem when whispering dirty little teases in Carlos' ear, which personally would have made me a little nervous!The ending of the book concerned Carlos and the drug ring he had somehow gotten caught up in, and this was unfortunately the least interesting part of the story for me. I didn't really appreciate the epilogue much either.Overall; a YA contemporary romance, with quite a slow-to-love couple.6.75 out of 10.
