GRR Reviews Coming Home (Snowy Ridge: Love at Sta by Kris Jett

Coming Home is more family drama than romance, with a woman who holds a grudge against her two sisters, but mostly helpless against her ex (who broke her heart by sleeping with her sister?), yet still manage to be wooed by one of the three brothers who are new in town. The personality doesn't quite fit.

Jessie Foster had always been the responsible one, staying in town to help her mom run the family bar, when her two older sisters left town to pursue their own dreams. She felt betrayed by them both (one of them very personally) and she hadn't spoken to them for years. But suddenly, her old boyfriend (who broke her heart) returned, there are three Stone brothers in town who had just opened a snowmobile rental and repair shop, and her sisters (she hated) are coming back. Jessie, trying to avoid her ex, approached Cade Stone, one of the three Stone brothers, to help her by pretending to be her boyfriend... He refused (!) but later decided he was being a douchebag... But Jessie was too mad to care. Jessie was having problems at home, as she found out how had her sisters fared... not that well, when another family secret was forced out... and one of her sisters has a stalker! Cade was all wrong for Jessie, but that wouldn't stop Cade from going after Jessie... And to help protect her family...

This book just has TOO MANY characters. While Jessie and Cade are primary, the sisters, ex, other suitors, and other minor characters just made a total hash of things. The family drama and the re-examination of Jessie's feelings (much of which are just... grudges) proved to be interesting character growth. It balances out to a mediocre score.  I understand this is book 1 of a series, but the characters could have been introduced better.
