Synopsis for Part 1: Attraction
One week.
Private beach.
Invisible girl.
Jerk-faced bully.
What’s the worst that could happen?
Kaitlyn Parker has no problem being the invisible girl, which is why she finds herself hiding in various cabinets and closets all over her college campus. Despite her best efforts, she can’t escape the notice of Martin Sandeke—bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe’s hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor—who also happens to be Kaitlyn’s chemistry lab partner.
Kaitlyn might be the only girl who isn’t interested in exploiting his stunning rower’s build, chiseled features, and family’s billionaire fortune. Kaitlyn wants Martin for his brain, specifically to tabulate findings of trace elements in surface water.
When Kaitlyn saves Martin from a nefarious plot, Martin uses the opportunity to push Kaitlyn out of her comfort zone: spring break, one week, house parties, bathing suits, and suntan lotion. Can she overcome her aversion to being noticed? Will he be able grow beyond his self-centered nature? Or, despite their obvious chemistry, will Martin be the one to drive Kaitlyn into the science cabinet of obscurity for good?
Review
“I can’t always have what I want.”
WOW, this series was perfection for me. When I went into Attraction I thought I was getting a fun and quirky new adult series that would have me laughing. I knew, it being written by Penny and all, that it would be well written and enjoyable. What I never expected would be the extreme range of emotions it would take me through and how when I was finished I would be an emotional mess unable to read anything for days. This book was phenomenal and as of today (5/16/15) my top read of the year.
“I also realized that this, a friendship with Martin, was either going to help me get over him and be my best idea of all time, or I was going to fall even harder and it was the worst mistake I would ever make.”
Capture wraps of the Elements Of Chemistry and picks up months after that big ole cliffhanger left us. Separated and attempting to move on with their lives Martina and Kaitlyn are attempting to move forward but when you feel so deeply for someone, even someone you spent such a short amount of time with, fully moving on is impossible. After being reunited, Martin and Kaitlyn are attempting to be friends with the understanding that they cannot be more . . . or can they?
“Kissing you always means something to me.”
Filled fully with the Penny humor and wit we have all come to love Capture was a vastly enjoyable read but it was not an easy read. I was overly emotional and stressed the entire time I was reading it, often taking breaks to put my sanity back in place. These two needed to be together but neither makes it easy on the other. Full of angst and drama with enough sexual tension in the air it was almost impossible to breathe Capture was a beautiful conclusion to a series that blew me away.
“All I knew was that we were in a closet kissing, his amorous hands were up my skirt, and the figurative Bunsen burner in my pants demanded satisfaction.”
As I have stated before the titles of these books are so spot on it proves again what a genius Penny is. Attraction is full of flirty fun times and sparkling banter between Martin and Kaitlyn, they are getting to really know each other and starting to give into the mutual chemistry they feel. Heat is . . . well Heat is HOT. Sexy and provocative, Heat pulls us in and we get a glimpse of how great these two really can be together. And then there is Capture, which I would say is because after being separated it is all about getting back to what they had but what it really did for me was Capture my heart.
“You’re all I think about, all I want, you are everything.”
The Elements Of Chemistry series will grab you from the start and change you by the end. Penny Reid has taken a story that yo think you have read before and done it like no other has accomplished. Full of laugher, suggestion and characters you can love and some you can hate Penny’s first full jaunt into the world of new adult is a top read recommendation for this girl.
