On the island with friends, their family and social expectations are pushed to the wayside as they slowly learn each other physically and emotionally. Layers are peeled away, leaving us with just Kaitlyn and Martin. “I’m not willing to settle for being with someone who sometimes treats me well. Kaitlyn lays down some hard truths to Martin and the energy between them boils and bubbles… Heat, part 2, certainly brings the heat when the adorable (insert sarcasm) Reid lifts us up and dusts us off from the zinger of a cliffhanger she leaves us with in Attraction and takes our hero and heroine to new and decidedly racy levels. The story is further enhanced by a dynamic cast of personable characters whose advice is decidedly mature for this particular age group. This opposites attract romance delights and enchants as we watch Kaitlyn and Martin circle around one another trying t understand the elements that attract them to one another. Martin is certainly every girls’ fantasy (and he’s starred in quite a few of them) with his good looks and commanding presence.

Kaitlyn is simply a delight with her charming awkwardness and need to be completely honest. Kaitlyn agrees, rather grumpily, and this opens the way for a romance whose emotional and mental intimacy makes your heart sing while it breaks.

Kaitlyn is probably the only girl on campus who doesn’t see Martin as the second coming. Having wanted to gain Kaitlyn’s attention for a long time, Martin uses her “good deed” to coerce her into spending Spring Break with him at a private island. Only special occasions, like when strange people arrive to plot your demise.” When Kaitlyn Parker overhears a conversation from a cabinet she is hiding in, Kaitlyn is reluctantly dragged into Martin Sandeke’s orbit in order to stop a pair of unscrupulous people from taking advantage of him. Humor and heartbreaking emotion go hand in hand, aligning perfectly when Attraction, part one, introduces us to a socially inept brilliant young woman and the well-known gorgeous and intelligent playboy who has her girly parts singing and her brain screaming.

I’m going to be honest, this review is a bit spoil-y. All three parts are available for purchase now if you don’t want to wait. I was given each serial part individually to read though it will be released all together in one book June 1, 2015. No one does geek romance better the Penny Reid in my opinion and her debut into NA is a sure fire winner. This is the full novel/continuation of the short story ‘ Bunsen Burner Bingo‘ from the Breakaway anthology. Favorite Quote: A beautiful man is the devil’s most potent weapon.Īttraction, Heat, and Capture are the names of each serial in Penny Reid’s NA debut- Elements of Chemistry– the first book in her Hypothesis series.
