Perfect Chemistry series by Simone Elkeles



This is a YA Romance series that should be towards older YA. The series is about the Fuentes brothers, and each brother has their own book. Each brother has their own demons to face, but in the end, family comes first. The brothers’ father died because he was in a gang. Having no father to run the house, Alex first joins the gang his father was in so that he can help the family. They want to know what really happened to their father and this is a main part of the series. 
Alex Fuentes is the oldest of the three brothers and he’s in high school. He acts as the father figure of the family and he joined the gang to provide for his family. Then comes Brittany Ellis, the girl who will change his life forever ….

Carlos Fuentes is the middle brother. He moved with his mother and younger brother to Mexico when Alex decided to quit the gang. He returns to America and he is angry at his brother Alex for leaving them and making them move to Mexico. Alex then arranges for Carlos to live with Kiara Westford’s family…

Luis Fuentes is the youngest of the three. I didn’t think he’d get his own book right away because in Perfect Chemistry he was still just a young boy and in Rules of Attraction he was barely mentioned. However, now Luis is all grown up (well still a teenager anyways).. Alex is marrying Brittany while his brother Carlos has a girlfriend. Luis meets Nikki Cruz at Alex’s wedding and he definitely likes her. However, the gang wants Luis and Luis soon finds out there’s more to their past than he has ever known…
