About this book:
“A Darlyn in Distress
“A Darlyn in Distress
Beatrix Darlyn holds her family together. Plentiful prayers and
unconventional interests enliven hard work on the family farm, but talent with
a trigger won’t pay her father’s debts. For the sake of her three sisters, Bea pushes
her pride aside to take a leap of faith.
A Reluctant Rescuer
Greyson Wilder can’t outrun the pain of his past—but he does his best to
bury it. A man who’s outlived all his loved ones can’t find a better business
than selling the skeletons of slaughtered buffalo. There’s no one to care for,
but no one to disappoint—until a sharpshooting farm girl waylays him with an
irresistible offer.
An Unlikely Partnership
When their plans go awry, Greyson finds himself saddled with the
sisters, who surprising skills might be the ticket to surviving the Wild West.
Whether it’s trick shots or throwing knives, these women aim to succeed and
never miss a target. Can Greyson convince Bea to set her sights on him, or will
they both miss their shot at love?
Join the Dangerous Darlyns as the adventure begins, with Trails &
Targets!”

My
personal Rating-
(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 gun—I 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. :)
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
