CAPTURE: Elements of Chemistry (Hypothesis Series Book 3) Synopsis: Elements of Chemistry: CAPTURE is the third part in a three part series; it is 70k words. Review: **Note: I did receive an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review** Elements of Chemistry: Capture  is the final section of the Elements of Chemistry story. Normally I would have waited to read all three sections at once, but Penny indicated she thought it would be better to read them as they come out so I did read them when I got them, which was a few weeks apart. Well...I think for me it would have been better to read them all in one go. In fact I really should go back and re-read them all at once now to see how I feel about the story overall. I thought part one, Attraction, was just okay and part two, Heat , was the amazing I wanted all along. Well since it has been so long since I read Heat part three was...kind of annoying for me. Okay really annoying for me. Kaitlyn was so frus...
