Yes, there are definitely some steamy romance scenes, but I was really, really hoping for a better shower scene than what it was. They are all so much alike that there was really nothing new or fresh, save that one last surprise regarding Luis’s family history. While the situation Luis finds himself in is just as dangerous as Alex’s in Perfect Chemistry, I knew he was going to find some way out of it because that’s just how the PC series goes. With Chain Reaction, I just didn’t feel the chemistry between Luis and Nikki that I felt with Alex and Brittany or even with Carlos and Kiara. Maybe it is because Perfect Chemistry took me by surprise when I read it (I had heard barely anything about PC when I first read it).
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE: While I really liked Chain Reaction and read it obsessively, I didn’t love it (or Rules of Attraction for that matter) as much as I loved Perfect Chemistry. About six years passes from the first novel to the third, and I loved seeing how the Fuentes brothers and their love interests mature in that time.
This is the kind of book non-readers will read over and over again, which may turn them into readers.Įlkeles does a great job explaining the previous books and characters, so the books in this series are more parallel reads than sequels. I would bet that many high schoolers who say they don’t like reading will become just as obsessed with this series as I am. If you are looking for a book to give to a high school romance fan, this is a great choice, especially for non-readers. All of the Perfect Chemistry books are packed with page-turning action and romance. The three Fuentes brothers, each a major character in his own book, all make sexy, dangerous, romantic leads that will make readers swoon.
All the books have memorable book trailers and steamy front covers. WHAT I LIKED: I definitely LOVE me some Fuentes brothers! This series has been an obsession with me since I read Perfect Chemistry a couple of years ago. Chapters alternate between Luis’s and Nikki’s perspectives. Luis falls hard for Nikki, who pushes him away as much as she is able, but things get complicated when the gang that killed Luis’s father and nearly killed his oldest brother begins to pursue Luis as a member. When Nikki meets Luis for the second time two years later, Nikki wants nothing to do with boys or dating or relationships, especially not with hot boys like Luis who could easily crush her fragile heart again. SUMMARY: Sparks fly when heart-broken Nikki and perpetual flirt (and youngest Fuentes brother) Luis meet by chance at a wedding. OVERALL RATING: Recommended, especially for high school romance readers (including reluctant readers) or those who loved Perfect Chemistry and Rules of Attraction
