Book Review: Tempting Cameron by Karen Erickson

was given a free e-copy of Tempting Cameron by Karen Erickson. The opinions about the book are all mine and were not influenced by anyone.
From Amazon:

The girl next door never looked so good...
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.
Tempting Cameron is Karen Erickson's newest book and the second in the Lone Pine Lake series. I have not read the first book (but for some reason, I thought I had). The first book does NOT need to be read in order to enjoy Tempting Cameron.
Cameron McKenzie is home, a home he's avoided for a long time. He now has a few dark secrets he doesn't want know. Sweet Chloe is the 'girl next door' that pined for him for years but has grown up. There are times that I just wanted to smack Cameron, because he can be a royal jerk....to Chloe and his family. Other times, I feel bad for Cameron and wish him the best.
The book is definitely a very sweet romance (though Karen Erickson is known for her more steamy books). I don't want to give away too much of the plot, though it does follow the boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl formula. To me, it was a nice afternoon read where you can sigh as you close the book.
