Tempting Cameron is the second book in the Lone Pine Lake series by Karen.  The books are stand alone.Cameron McKenzie is a troubled hero full of potential.  In fact, that's probably why I love him so much.  He's not the troubled hero who is a bad boy trying to do good but still screwing up.  He's not the ladies' man who's afraid of commitment because he doesn't want to be "tied down" to one woman.  He's the type of troubled hero who's had his heart broken and is lost and desperately searching for who he is and where he fits in.  Looking at the world through Cameron's eyes is heartbreaking.Cameron is the middle child of the large McKenzie family.  In his family, it's easy to see how one could feel left out and unimportant. He's a mystery to the reader as well as to his overbearing and suffocating family.  As a freelance war photographer, he travels the world.  Since he graduated high school, Cameron very rarely returns to Lone Pine Lake.Chloe Dawson is a second grade teacher in the same town she was born and raised in.  In fact, she's been called the Town Princess and everyone loves her.  Chloe is the type of person who will put everyone ahead of herself.  Chloe has had a crush on Cameron since she was twelve-years-old.  However, she isn't your typical heroine who gets starry eyed when it comes to her crush.  She's feisty and calls Cameron on all of his crap.One of the things I love about Cameron and Chloe as a couple is that they actually became friends before lovers.  They took the time to really get to know each other.  They danced around each other, slowly dropping little clues that they were interested in the other.  Chloe allowed herself to be Cameron's sounding board.  She listened to him and didn't judge him or criticize him.  The same thing goes with Cameron.  He's someone that Chloe finally allowed herself to confide in.  Chloe's willingness to be there for Cameron without any expectations is what actually allowed him to heal from all of the demons he carried around.If there has ever been a romantic couple who should have had their own Brazen book, Cameron and Chloe is that couple.  But this is an Entangled Bliss book and the love scenes have to be left to the imagination.  But you KNOW that whatever happens between these two is really off the charts.I loved the little surprise thrown in at the end of the book.Source: PublisherReviewed for Read Your Writes Book Reviews
