This installment was a bit more serious than the last, but you know Penny Reid still brings the smart, the quirky and the funny.
I adore the banter between these two, The times they made me giggle, it was a nice break from some of the serious things going on,
“Listen to me for one fucking second, okay”
I also whispered, but only because he was whispering, “Only if you stop using the fword like you get paid royalties every time you say it.
”
“Ill fucking use whatever fucking word I want to fucking use whenever I fucking want to, ”
Im not going to sugar coat this the end of this installment broke my heart, This cliffhanger was far worse than the last for me, Thankfully the next part will be out shortly, I cant wait to see how Martin and Parkers story ends!

Heat, book two in the Elements of Chemistry series, was one of my most anticipated books to receive in a long time! A person who's very hit or miss with the New Adult genre, I completely fell in love with Attraction.
Penny Reid constructed a heroine so quirky endearing, I couldn't read that first book fast enough, Couple Kaitlyn with the arrogant college frat boy, he didn't stand a chance against her nerdy analysis and wit, This awesomeness continued right on into Heat,
Heat picks up right on the heels of Attraction, The teaser at the end of Attraction is basically the into into this book, I'm not going to provide any spoilers for either book, so I'll keep this rather short, with just my reactions to the events in this book,
Kaitlyn Parker still struggles with what she determines her life rules but Martin is her one cheat, I loved how a heroine so inexperienced in everything life and love can analyze her feelings in such a mature way, She continued to remain as endearingly awkward as book one yet she had a bit of a metamorphosis in Heat, Everything sexual refers to the effect on her pants! Loved it!
Being so close to him had my hormones throwing a parade and making a Slip 'n Slide out of my pants.
Martin Sandeke, the rich kid that's pretty much an ass to anyone BUT Kaitlyn, stole the show for me this book.
He saw the gem that is Kaitlyn Parker and respected her in all her inexperience with everything life and love, If I didn't love him in Attraction, I loved him here, He's not perfect, yet he's perfect for her, He pushes her boundaries, sometimes in a backwards way, to make Kaitlyn see some of the things she's lived her "life rules" by just aren't working, He's patient and kind and PERFECT, Swoon!
"So, tell me, do you prefer to be the spoon or the spooned"
His lips were against my upper back, where my neck met my shoulders, and I felt his mouth curve into the barest smile.
"I don't know, I've never done this before, "
"What Spooned"
"Yeah, "
I allowed this to sink in, Once I did, I grinned into
the dim cabin and said with no small amount of wonder, "Kaitlyn Parker has popped Martin Sandeke's spooning cherry, "
I felt his smile grow just before he said, "It's only fair, I hope to pop your forking cherry, "
Which leads me to the STEAM FACTOR, This book ramps up the heat exponentially! Attraction held more of a Chick Lit level of steam well, this will get your Bunsen Burner smoking.
My pants were pleasantly surprised,
Heat ends in a mother of a cliffy, Anxiously awaiting the finale installment of the Elements of Chemistry series, Capture,

OMFG THE SHIT IS BANANAS BANANAS!!!! Loved it!!!!!!
Okay over here just freaking out a little, By my reaction and rating I bet you can tell I loved this book and I did, WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO READ THIS SERIES
Okay okay I'll calm down a bit, I promise, For now.
Heat picks up where Attraction left off with Martin and Kaitlyn resolving a misunderstanding and then going about their business while on the island on spring break.
As the two of them get to know each other in what Kaitlyn calls relationship boot camp, things are beginning to heat up between the two of them, Both have barriers built, but the other does their best to knock them down, And pretty soon feelings of attraction develop into something deeper,

First off, I love stories where the guy pursues the reluctant girl, Most romances involve a girl somewhat taming the playboy and for once it's nice to see the guy doing the work, Plus, being a nerdy girl myself, it struck close to my heart that Martin went after the nerdy girl with barriers and he went after her hard,
“I like you because you are Kaitlyngenuine, beautiful, brilliant, amazing Kaitlynnot because youre Kaitlyn Parker, And Im in love with you because I cant help myself, ”
Now for my favorite part of the book, THE ANGST. I basically eat angst for all my meals including second breakfast, first lunch and predinner,
This is what I look like eating angst:
For realz yo,
While this book still had its comedic moments, the tone turned a bit more serious as it went on because it delved into the issues surrounding Kaitlyn and Martin's lives.
Martin has a real dick of a father, like the type of people who should be forever stuck in torture lands where they hear fingernails on the chalkboard sounds/,
Kaitlyn struggles with believing that Martin really wants her for her and that this relationship could be real, The two seem to be on different wavelengths at times with Martin at full speed ahead and Kaitlyn dropping her anchor to slow down, I have to agree with her on many of the issues Martin was moving too fast, but his heart was in the right place,
“I'm not trying to hurt you, I just want us to be"
"Smart," he finished for me, his resentful gaze softening as it moved over my face, " I know. You always want to be smart and do the right thing, But the problem is, Parker, . . I just want you. ”
Having only readPenny Reid books before this series, and enjoying but not loving them, I can say for sure with this series I am a convert.
Thanks again to Dee, Jasmine and Sharon for the series recommendation! You ladies rock!
And thanks to Jas for fielding all my texts LMAO!
