I really enjoyed Trails & Targets, which is a cute Cowboy Comedy. I would love to continue reading the series, but Kelly Eileen Hake doesn't appear to be writing anymore. I hope she continues her career very soon!!!

Pre Teens- One Star
New Teens- One Star (and a half)
Early High School Teens- Two Stars (and a half)
Older High School Teens- Three Stars (and a half)
My personal Rating- Three Stars (and a half)
{ Because of the minor cussing and h*ll being mentioned/said many times, ratings were lowered. }
I was really-really-really excited to read Trails & Targets! (Again, a girl with a gunI like those stories! ;) ) I think I put too much pressure on this novel & comparing it to Plots & Pans. While I laughed many times, loved the growing Faiths, the talents of the sisters and liked that they was only one kiss; I had to give a lower rating because of the minor cussing. But, I will be reading the rest of the series when they come out. :)
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
*I received this book for free from the Publisher (Shiloh Press Run) for this review.
