My Review

I can tell you that I’ve read a few of Penny Reid’s other works and Elements of Chemistry: ATTRACTION is nothing short of brilliant! She knows how to create witty characters that are just a little to the left of center when it comes to dealing with life. Take Kaitlyn Parker, for example. She may like to hide in closets and recite synonyms on a daily basis, but why is she hiding and can her loveable, jerkface lab partner, Martin Sandeke find her?

This is the first part in a three part series and is a quick read. I was invested in our couple from the first page and loved the feel of their tension and that Martin wanted the shy girl that seems invisible. But can the known player finally get the girl for keeps? I’ve already read this book twice and I cannot wait for you all to read it. If you like your girls sweet and your guys hot and steamy, this should be on the top of your to-be-read list.

Meet the sweet, sexy-in-a-nerdy-way, Parker a.k.a. Kaitlyn a.k.a. Katy and one super adorable, sexy man they call ‘Stroke’. If you like your men assertive and your girls natural 😉 then you NEED to read Kaitlyn and Martin’s story. I’ll warn you that this is a cliffhanger, but no worries – part two will be released at the end of the month.

I laughed. I snorted. I wanted to throw the Kindle for a moment. Penny Reid is freaking amazing and I love the characters she has created in her little world (a.k.a. her imagination).
