My Book Boyfriend: Carlos Fuentes

 

My Book Boyfriend, hosted by the lovely Missie at The Unread Reader, is a weekly meme that allows book bloggers to showcase our fictional crushes (and drool over each other's). After giving a lot of love to Alex Fuentes a few weeks ago, I'm now devoting my attention to his younger brother, Carlos (don't worry, Alex is still MINE too). Carlos is one of the main characters in Simone Elkeles' Rules of Attraction, and he starts off as a total smart-ass rebel who's angry at the world and hates on pretty much everything and everyone. As the book progresses, he stays a smart-ass, but allows his sweet side to come out as he falls for Kiara, the daughter of the man who has taken him in. Described as having dark hair and dark eyes, plus "a hot bod and a face that could make angels weep" (according to himself, anyway), I pictured Carlos looking like Tyler Posey, because I'm a little bit in love with him and think he's got just the right mix of cheeky adorableness and smokin' hotness.
