About the author
Baxter Brown
12 books18 followersGood afternoon, good evening or good night. I personally don’t read romance first thing in the morning. I need the light of the moon to enjoy it, but I do like to write it at the crack of dawn as the morning light dances. Much of this book was written in the wee hours and I think that’s important, it’s the small things in life that matter.
When I’m not trying to think up creative ways of getting to the ‘kiss’ and dragging it out as long as possible… I’m usually lost in a vineyard, hunting for rare beach glass or at the bottom of a coffee cup with a record playing softly in the background.

This is a debut book for Brown. I was actually impressed with the quality of the writing. What I had a problem with was the author’s story choices. Let’s just say this was not an Alexis book at all. I really struggled to read this at times. It’s always hard for me to review books like this; books that are well written, but just didn’t personally work, especially when it’s a debut. What I will concede is that I will absolutely read Brown’s next book, I would just never read Cameron’s Rules again.
This story revolves around two women. One who is a widower and uses that as an excuse to treat women like garbage, and the other women who is being considered for sainthood. I’m being a little sarcastic but I think you get the drift. This whole book is in first person in the POV of the widow. This was a huge struggle for me. I love first person, but you have to have a reason to write in first. You are the lead detective in a serial killer mystery, you are in a fantasy world where everyone one is trying to kill you, you have cancer or MS, some reason why it’s so important to be in your headspace. An angst filled romance? No. That’s not a good enough reason for me. And the woman whose head we are in is pretty awful to be stuck in the whole time.
Another pet peeve of mine is long distance relationships in romances. Now I do have to be honest this book was not as bad as some others, since they do talk on the phone/text a lot, I just find these stories to be more boring or problematic. Problematic since they are away so much I don’t really believe in the connection between the two mains. For the most part I believed in this connection, but I did have a boredom issue. There were times the pace slowed way down. It was a real struggle not to skim. I just kept thinking this book is not for me.
Last little thing I have to mention. There was a story within a story. One of the characters wrote a story. I found this to be odd. I usually hate made up song lyrics, poetry, and stories inside my books. For this instance I’m up in the air. It was done maybe four times, first times were pointless, and then the second half actually lead to some story progress so I’m on the fence but felt I should mention it.
This was a book that just did not work for me. It’s not the writing. If say Noyes wrote this book, I would be having the same complaints. We all have our own pet peeves, and this book hit a few too many. The book is solid and I think it’s well written, especially for a debut. I would suggest reading some other reviews since I just don’t like this kind of story. I will be giving Brown another shot, and I’ll read her next.

Cameron's Rules has no typical shortcomings of a first novel, just the opposite, the writing is technically good, with all elements done quite okay. Regardless of the quality of writing, the most important thing to me is my enjoyment while reading. I can value a book as technically well-written, but I do not necessarily have to enjoy it. This book is such a case.
I did not like main characters, Cameron and Julie. They are both irritating, each in their own way. Their push-pull long-distance relationship is frustrating as hell to read and takes away a lot from the enjoyment of the story. I felt no real chemistry between them, and do not see them together as a couple for the long haul. Even worse, I do not want them together because I think they are not right for each other.
I was often bored throughout the book and must admit that I struggled to finish it. It is hard to stay interested when not rooting for the characters. I liked the non-happy ending from the story which Julie wrote and we are reading through the main story more than the actual ending of the book, and I never read sad-ending stories.
So, the quality of writing -- four stars, degree of enjoyment – less than two stars, in total -- less than three stars.
Regardless of all this, read it and see for yourself. Maybe you will not be bothered by all this as much as I was.

Like Julie I, too had some fantasies regarding Cameron and mine also included Cameron screaming out.. except in mine, I am punching the hell out of her for hurting poor Julie and being such a terrible human being in general. Another title for the book could be Julie's patience (of a saint).
The writing was great and good chemistry between the mains so I am definitely gonna read more from this author.

“Cameron’s Rules” by Baxter Brown is one of those books that’s very hard to rate. I absolutely loved it overall but I spent a lot of time not liking the characters or their choices.
Cameron Kassen is a Canadian in San Diego for work when Julie Carter accidentally knocks into her, spilling Cameron’s coffee all over her. The two start up a flirty friendship and I loved the process of how they got to know one another. It’s a long-distance friendship so there’s a lot of facetime/texting going on but I didn’t mind it in this instance.
I thought this was a somewhat bittersweet story. Cameron is a widow of three years and I felt she used it as a clutch to keep women away. That can be understandable to a certain degree…but she also went a bit beyond and came across as cruel to the women she was trying to keep away. Cameron is not my favorite main character. This is definitely one of the times where I’m surprised I liked the book despite the fact that I really didn’t care for the main character or her love interest all that much.
This is a 1st person pov from Cameron so we definitely know her better. However, I think Brown did an excellent job of conveying Julie’s thoughts and feelings so that I never felt it was all one sided. This is especially impressive as very few authors can do this well in romance and even fewer debut authors.
While this wasn’t light and sweet, it was compelling and interesting.

Detailed score: 3.5 rounded up
If you love angst and/or second chance at love stories then this is well worth a read.
Slight spoiler here (although it’s revealed very early on): the main barrier to live here is that one of the main characters, and our sole lens, is a widow and still scarred from the death of her wife.
Unlike most first wife died stories I’ve read though, the barrier was not the usual ‘still in love with my wife. Feel like I’ll betray her if I move on (cue graveside conversation leading to resolution)’. Rather, it was that grief nearly broke our lead and she feels she won’t survive if it happen again.
I thought this made for an interesting approach to a lesrom trope.
Another interesting storytelling device was that our other lead is a writer - and she writes a semi fictionalised version of the story of our leads which we read throughout the ‘real life’ narrative. I don’t think it always worked but it was something a bit different and I liked that.
Overall- I’m still not sure if I liked this book. There’s a lot of angst - probably a little much for my tastes. And the resolution of the barrier to love came *way* too close to the end. Having said that though, this kept me hooked from the start and it definitely tried some new things that took it out of what could easily have been trope land.
Worth shelling out the money to support a debut author - particularly if you enjoy an angsty read.

After an accidental meeting in which writer Julie Carter spills coffee on corporate lawyer Cameron Kassen's clothes, Julie gets hooked and invites her on a date. But Cameron lives in Toronto and Julie in San Diego and the distance between them isn't just physical...
One of the issues I have with this book is that, in my opinion, it is marketed completely wrong. I have three reasons to support my argument: first, it is under the romance category while it should have been categorised as general fiction. Second, the cover suggests a light read which is completely the opposite. Third, the book blurb is misleading, again suggesting a playfulness that this novel lacks. It's not wise to mislead the readers as it can backfire when the expectations don't meet reality. The proof is in the reviews, don't take my word, see what other readers say.
'Cameron's rules' is written in first person from the point of view of Cameron which gives the reader a prime access to her headspace. To say that Cameron isn't a lovable character is the lesfic understatement of the year. In 90% of the book she comes across as a self-centered, manipulative and irredeemable person. She would be a great evil character. Unfortunately, she's not very good romance novel material. Being in her headspace for long feels a bit claustrophobic but luckily there is a story inside the story that it's written in third person from Julie's point of view. Not enough to balance things out but at least to give the reader a break.
The book is not badly written, as a matter of fact, it's a very good standard for a debut novel. The balance between showing and telling is fine, the dialogues sound natural and the characters are well rounded. However, in my opinion, if the author was trying for a romance, the plotting and the characters' development should have taken another direction. Unfortunately, 90% of the book is spent on why the characters couldn't be together. So much so that the author successfully convinced me that they shouldn't. Not the best of ideas for a romance. I'd downright call it anti-romance.
As much as I appreciate the effort that the author put in her work, I found this read unrewarding and, unfortunately, I cannot recommend it if you are looking for a romance. However, I'd read another book by this author in the future as I see talent and potential in her writing.
Overall, 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

2.5 stars. The first half of this book is excellent. The writing is sharp and the chemistry between the two main characters was unusually well done. The gradual development of their friendship/relationship, as well as the long distance, felt well-paced and realistic.
And then. Things started to go downhill around the 60% mark though, when I realized that, instead of the characters and the plot continuing to move forward, the story was headed in the direction of just circling around the characters' angst. There's not really any meaningful plot or character development in the back half of the book, just a continual cycle of: character interaction --> MC causes both of them pain by throwing up her walls --> extended mutual suffering --> characters interact again.
It's a complete slog and I found no joy in reading it. It's a romance, so of course you know there's a HEA on the horizon, but by the time the MC finally decides to move past her issues (and even though literally the entire book is about her working her way out of this indecision, it's not clear why she finally changes her mind - she resists right up until the moment that she doesn't, and there hasn't been any particular character defining moments or development that have set up why, after choosing A one hundred times over multiple years, she has now opted for B, other than the book is now ending so of course the plot requires it), their relationship to each other had become so unhealthy and toxic that it wasn't cause for happiness, or even relief, in me as the reader. At best, it felt like resignation. I wasn't rooting for these two to get together, anymore, I was just rooting for them to get healthy.
It's all pretty disappointing because, as I said at the start, I think Brown can write well and the beginning of the book was a real delight. By the end, though, it was just painful to spend so much time watching these characters hurt themselves, hurt each other and even take out a few bystanders along the way. I generally read romance novels to get caught up in the joy of falling in love, but there's precious little of that to be found here.

I understand why there are so many lower-rated reviews, but I chalk that all up to marketing that's a poor fit for the book itself. Aside from the geographic distance involved in the relationship, I remembered nothing else about the blurb going into the book, which I think changed my reading experience.
This book is a meditation on grieving those we've loved romantically, particularly when we've lost them suddenly, and how we can possibly move on when the grief has swallowed us whole. The author most often shows, rather than tells, the impact of that loss: in great pain, the protagonist punishes herself and hurts other people because she still needs human connection, and she's drawn most powerfully to a funny, kind, witty, giving woman. The tension in this book arises from her pain, self-loathing, and fear and the way it spills over--often messily--and hurts other people.
Technically, it's very well written. The dialogue is sharp; any cliches used are given unique twists; and the prose attends closely to terminal emphasis. I think most of the weaker reviews are because people expected something different when they began the book. I hope this novel is not drawn too heavily from personal experience, and I'd very much like to read another book from this author.

I told my partner the gist of the book while I was reading it 'cause I couldn't figure out why it was getting to me so much. She turned around and said, "because you're Cameron," and that was it. Cameron annoyed the fcuk out of me but I understood her reasoning. Julie, much like my partner are bloody saints. I adored Julie and her patience. It was painful to read only because it reminded me so much of the crap I put myself and my partner through. It was achingly bittersweet.

Excellent read
Really well constructed, I normally don’t like books written in the first person as I find I feel disconnected from both characters. This was sensitively written and allowed an emotional connection to be made to both characters. During the screen play intervals it lost a little momentum, but this in no way detracts from reading experience. I look forward to more from this author.

Having a story within a story is a less common plot device that works fairly well here. Since the tale is told entirely from Cameron's point of view it is hard to get a good impression of Julie -- though clearly she is very much in love. Cameron is insufferable at times and probably needed more grief counseling than she had.

Emotional Rollercoaster
This is the 2nd book of Baxter Brown's I've devoured, in one sitting. If you're a lover of angst, that really pushes the emotion chip, this is a must.
Love, tears & long-distance relationships, that pulls on the heart strings.

I’m pretty conflicted about this book. I really enjoyed many of the scenes between Cameron and Julie. Their banter and flirting was really fun, and the chemistry between them was conveyed very well. I couldn’t get enough of them together, for the most part. The exception was any time Cameron was treating Julie like crap. Which unfortunately took up a lot of the middle portion of this book. I struggled with Cameron a lot in this book. Yes, she has experienced some serious pain in her life, and sets herself some “rules” as a result. But a lot of the time she just came across as selfish and manipulative. Even borderline emotionally abusive. She was honestly hard to like at times and I nearly didn’t finish the book as a result.
Overall, I think the author does really well with dialogue and building chemistry. This is also why I loved their other novel, Following Chance. While I didn’t love this one I’ll definitely continue to follow up with any future books by Baxter Brown. I like their writing style and can already see there was quite a bit of improvement between this one (debut) and Following Chance.

Absolutely loved the flirty banter among the two leads in the first act.
That was for me the most enjoyable trait of the book.
As the plot unfolded, and things started to get real, the story took a rather angsty turn as Cameron's insecurities took hold of her.
I was not prepared for the amount of angst, stubbornness, and self-sabotage I was put through.
When I got to the inevitable reconciliation, quite late in the book, it didn't feel like it had resolved the underlying conflict -or rebalanced my suffering- in a satisfactory manner.
I will probably not re-read Cameron's Rules any time soon, but this was a rather impressive debut for Baxter and I will be looking forward to her next book.
