Description: "Like his brothers, Luis Fuentes is a risk taker; whether he's scaling the Rocky Mountains or dreaming of a future as an astronaut, Luis is always looking for the next thrill.

Nikki Cruz lives her life by certain rules ― don't trust a boy who says "I love you", boys lie to get their own way and never date a boy from the south side of Fairfield. Then she meets Luis at his brother Alex's wedding and suddenly she's tempted to break all her rules.

Getting Nikki to give him a chance is Luis's biggest challenge, until he finds himself targeted by the head of the gang that nearly destroyed his brothers' lives. Will Luis's feelings for Nikki be enough to stop him from entering a dark and violent world that could prove to be the ultimate risk?"

Me and Heather will be reading! :)

So, since Heather didn't finish yet Rules of Attraction I guess I'm going to read this alone. Feel free to join me if there is someone who hasn't finished this book yet, but read the first 2 in the series ^^.

Here are my thoughts :) .

Chapter 1-10
(view spoiler)[I was surprised to see that the main character from Wild Cards appears in this book. Right now he looks like a total flirt. Not that our boy, Carlos is any better. <.<

I felt so sorry for Nikki and her miscarriage. :( I wonder why she never learned spanish. Did her parent decide not to teach her for a reason or another? So they can talk about her when she's around knowing she won't understand? XD

So far, it has a promising start. I liked Alex and Britney's wedding as well :D . (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11-20
(view spoiler)[I just don't get this mafia guys. Why would they bother to recruit people who don't want to join? Why not just eliminate them? Recruiting the brother of a traitor is not a good move on any Don's part...

Also, this book has more "hot" scenes than it's 2 predecessors. I like it :D . I wish Nikki would loosen up a bit, then again, Louise is not to be trusted ^^. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 21-50 (end)
(view spoiler)[I finished this. From the series I can easily claim this to be my least favorite. Nikki is way too uptight. She's whiny and she doesn't have a back-bone, but she shoots the head of the mafia like it's a walk in the park. Really... For a girl that is so insecure she sure doesn't think a lot before pulling the trigger.

Also, Louis is an idiot. He goes to be part of the mafia just because his dad was one. like that's what make someone. You inherit you parent's genes, not their poor life choices.

The ending was also kinda rushed. Even more than it was in the previous 2 books. Dram, drama, mafia, drama gets solved in less than 2 pages. the end, they married and had 3 boys. Gezz...

********************************************************************************

Starting this now!

Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[ How is the first chapter of the book going to start off with the main character falling to his death. It is way too soon for any characters to be stressing me out lol (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ Nikki's attitude absolutely annoys me (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[ I'm so confused by Nikki. She never wants to date a shouthsider again because of Marco. She has a rich white guy interested in her, but she turns him down? He fits the exact description of the kind of guy that she would be willing to get together with. I really can't stand her character at all (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 19
(view spoiler)[What planet is Luis on that he thinks getting close to Chuy is a good idea. It's a terrible terrible idea (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 26
(view spoiler)[ I just don't see the connection between Luis and Nikki like I was able to with the other couples from the previous books. I'm enjoying this just fine, but it just feels like something is missing (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 38
(view spoiler)[ Ugh I really hate Nikki so much! (hide spoiler)]
