I have not read other books in this series (as far as I remember) and don't remember the author as being one I've read either. I have read other books with an archery expert as the main character but never one competing in mounted archery--I didn't even know there were competitions for that sport. I wish there had been a bit more information about mounted archery in the book.

In some ways the book is fairly standard for a Love Inspired Suspense book. Hannah Riley married badly and now that she's a widow, she doesn't want to trust another man to be her husband. Ben Whitman once made a bad decision that ended up with him surviving a wreck while his girlfriend died and his combination of survivor's guilt and shame keep him from wanting a relationship beyond friendship. And both of them are trying to rationalize why they can't be in a relationship with each other.

I didn't find the suspense very compelling either. Someone comes after Hannah because of her ex-husband. I didn't guess who it was but I did partially guess why. ( )
