Elements of Chemistry: Capture by Penny Reid
3.0
Oh thank god I'm done.
I mean, don't get me wrong, reading this series was mostly fun but I almost lost my shit because of all the miscommunication.
This whole elements of chemistry series is in my opinion a great way for people to get into NA romances because it's easy, quick and not overwhelming. It has well writen sexy times and it's pretty drama free.
My thing though is that I just can't do stupid. I hate when the main source of drama and angst comes from the two main characters not talking to each other or simply just assuming things that were never implied.
And both happend in this third book which made me very frustrated with both Martin and Kaitlyn.
I liked Martin, I really liked him. He grew on me over time and especially in this last book he was more mature, calm and collected. He was actually a nice guy, he was really funny too but he was just not really doing great with trying to get back together with Kaitlyn.
Kaitlyn on the other hand was the most annoying person. She was so blind to everything Martin was doing and she was always making assumptions about the things that were happening. She never saw things through and was acting like a coward. I understand that she was confused about her feelings and she didn't want to get hurt but everything would have been resolved in such a short time if they just had an uninterrupted conversation where they wouldn't dodge every question the other person asked.
I was so happy when she finally decided to just tell him she still loved him but I was quickly shot down by a stupid misunderstanding...again...
All panned out well in the end and I actually adored the last few chapters. Martin and Parker were a great couple, especially after some time apart. They grew up and became better more confident people. They were a great match, I enjoyed their chemistry and banter and I loved how cute they were.
Still, I was pissed off most of the time during reading and the miscommunications and misunderstandings were making me want to bang my head against the wall.
