 I really enjoyed the first book in this series Jane's Gift; it was an emotional rollercoaster ride fromstart to finish. While there are some emotional moments in Tempting Cameron it feels somewhat lighter and it was nice to watch this couple go through several changes in their burgeoning relationship throughout this book. 
 Chloe Dawson has had a crush on Cameron McKenzie for as long a she can remember. Her best friend's older brother was a source of fascination for her for most of her pre teen and teenage years. Cameron is a photographer who spends very little time in his hometown of Lone Pine Lake. Home for an extended time, he can't help but notice the woman Chloe has grown in to. 
 Chloe was a fun character because we got to see sides of her most people have never witnessed. She's a highly regarded school teacher who is loved by the entire small community. Somewhat reserved, she lives a quiet life and his relatively happy. However when she's around Cam, this sultry, flirty side to her comes out and it surprises not only her but Cam as well. I think at times she feels she's have an out of body experience. Cameron is a difficult nut to crack, but that makes me love him all the more. It's so obvious from early on that he's dealing with some major issues and at times he doesn't deal well at all. He somehow finds himself confessing and sharing all kinds of things with Chloe except the one thing he should tell her about. 
 I like that on Chloe's insistence they agree to a summer romance. It was fun watching them date like a much younger couple might and of course denying themselves the physical gratification they both want. They do eventually become intimate and while this pretty much takes place without us reading about it, you get the idea they are both highly satisfied. 
 While I normally love stories that revolve around large families in this book, Cameron's family kind of got on my nerves. I know they meant well, but they came off as intrusive and overbearing and I began to understand why Cam didn't like to come home to visit. It was obvious they loved him but at some point enough is enough. 
 I thoroughly enjoyed Tempting Cameron especially the characters of Chloe and Cameron. They were well written and realistic. Their relationship progressed at a nice pace and the fact they both made mistakes and both owned up to them made this a special story. Karen Erickson has created an interesting small town in Lone Pine Lakes and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!
