Chain Reaction, by Simone Elkeles

In the third and final installment of the trilogy "Perfect Chemistry," Simone Elkeles switches things around. In Chain Reaction  the youngest Fuentes brother- Luis has definitely got the same adventure seeking gene Carlos and Alex had before him. But there's a catch - Luis is determined to obtain his goal in becoming an astronaut. However, things start whirling out of control for the "well - behaved" Fuentes brother when he meets Nikki Cruz. She's a strong Latina with attitude who has promised herself to never trust boys again, as well as never date a boy from the south side of Fairfield. As soon as these two meet at Alex and Brittany 's wedding, it's a whirlwind of passion and excitement as the same gang that almost took his brothers' lives is determined to make their way into Luis's.

Simone Elkeles has done it again and I highly recommend reading this book, especially if you loved the first two and are just aching to find out what happens next with the irresistible and entertaining Fuentes brothers.
