A Love to Come Home to: A Historical Western Romance Book by Aurora Hanson

All the characters in this book are wonderful, except for Jasper. This man carried a big burden in his heart and projected on to everyone. His anger was great when his parents died, he passed that anger onto his real father who tried to make amends for abandoning him. There are extenuating circumstances, but the real guilt of him not knowing about his real father lies with his mother. This story confuses real feeling and Jasper all of a sudden makes a full recovery by the time he gets back to Baltimore. At this point, I'm confused and am thinking the author doesn't understand what emotions run through someone in this situation. Ethan is an exceptional friend, but Jasper is real needy and asks too much of Ethan. Yet, Ethan is so wonderful that he is willing to give up the woman he loves for Jasper, "not in the real world".

Selina is so concerned about being the son her father never had, until she finds out about Jasper. There's a point where Selina is jealous of her father's attention to Jasper and it is well understood. He getting the attention, she always wanted and wished from her father. Ethan shows her the advantages of being a woman, but refuse to step in Jasper's path to his family. The truth is Jasper is so angry, he blames Ethan for wanting his half-sister and interfering in the relationship to his father. That he doesn't see the real truth and that is Jasper is the one who is not trying to fit in. I'm rating this story down, because some of the emotions put forth don't really fit in with what is going on.
