Tempting Cameron by: Karen Erickson

Synopsis: For Cameron McKenzie, Chloe Dawson has always just been his younger sister Jane’s best friend—a pesky annoyance who followed him around and acted like he hung the moon. It isn’t until Jane’s wedding to her firefighter beau Chris that Chloe reappears in his life…and she isn’t pesky or annoying anymore. In fact, the beautiful Chloe tempts him beyond reason. But Cam knows he’s damaged goods—not nearly good enough for Lone Pine Lake’s resident good girl.

Chloe’s always dreamed of a future with the dark, brooding Cam, and after they share an explosive kiss, she wonders if her dream could be coming true. Cam’s never stuck around his hometown for long, though, so she makes him an offer: one sweet summer romance with no strings attached. This good girl’s ready for an adventure…one that just might end up lasting a lifetime.

Thoughts: With a sexy successful brooding fella, a tragic event, and a super sweet romance… how can you not love Tempting Cameron? There’s a few things that always make me love a book and with Tempting Cameron some of my favorite aspects are there. I always love a main character with a huge heart and a brooding sexy man is always a must. Also, I always love when family plays a decent role in the story, because family means so much to me. One final thing I always love is tragic, dark events and betrayals. In some way, Tempting Cameron has all of those and Karen mixed them together in a super sweet way.

With our characters, I loved that Chloe was described as the “town princess” and how that was she was actually good-hearted versus a snob or some over-confident chick. How Chloe was all good from the inside out, a pretty elementary school teacher, yet she still knows how to have fun. Then there’s Cameron… hot name and sexy green eyes alert! Cam, has been running away from his home life and I loved watching him actually finding a reason to stay; finding a reason to actually not be a playboy. Chloe and Cam’s relationship is literally a sweet and sexy adventure. One other person I must shout out to is Mac. I absolutely adore Mac and want much, much more of him!

Overall, if you want a book with a super sweet romance with some sexiness thrown in there, a beautiful lake town setting, and a happily ever after with a couple who are meant for each other… definitely give this one a shot!
