Agent Lyla Fox, with the US government’s SNAP agency, gets into quite the danger and dilemma in the conclusion to this thrilling suspense series. The intriguing book can stand alone, but the series is best read in order, in my opinion, since we see the growth of the continuing characters. I didn’t find this novel as intense as the first two, but the tension really ramps up closer to the end. It seems this story focuses more on the main characters rather than the roller-coaster action. Of course, the author throws in surprises and tugs at the emotions. Following the powerful conclusion, I breathed a sigh of relief. I wish the series would continue.

This is the third book in the “SNAP Agency” series. It is a standalone novel with glimpses of storylines in the previous 2 books. I would recommend reading them if you want to know a little bit about the other characters that you meet, but you will not be missing anything from this storyline if you do not. This book follows two members of the agency, Lyla Fox and Nicolas “Nic” Garcia.

Lyla is the member of the team that seems to be able to get anything that they need but can also be a little reckless at times. That is the one thing that concerns Nic the most about her. He thinks that is the one thing that will lead to her undoing. This has him struggling with a decision that can change the whole dynamics of the team. Before he makes the decision final, he must help save Lyla. She receives a note in an unusual way from a man that she put in prison. As more things happen and the stakes keep getting higher, can they solve this mystery, keep Lyla alive and help her with the things she learns about her past?

This is a fast paced, clean suspenseful romance. It really was “Just one more chapter” type of book. Every time I wanted to stop; something would suck me back in. I enjoyed learning more about these two characters that I got a glimpse of in the previous books. The author does a good job with the backstories of the characters and with bringing all the threads together at the end. I do recommend reading this and the series as well.

Loved being back in the action with the SNAP team! Blind Trust brings all the banter and plot twists, and it kept me invested all the way through the story. Would absolutely recommend picking up this series!!


~~I received an early copy of this book for launch purposes and was not required to leave a positive review.~~

It's hard to believe this series is over. I've been following it from the start. The author really knows how to write romantic suspense, With all that has happened in the series so far, I wasn't sure what circumstances the characters would face or what situations they would find themselves in. But I knew it would be intense and I wasn't disappointed.
When the author first introduced us to characters, Lyla Fox and Nicolas Garcia, I just knew it would become something more between them and they would be showing up again.
There was a wild ride, and this is a great ending to the S.N.A.P. Agency series.

Whew, what a wild literary roller-coaster!

So, there was a lot in this book I loved, and it only had a few brief issues. And the villain? Didn't see that one coming at all until I was really deep in the book. Bonus points for a pretty complex plot with lots of suspects, tons of intense suspense, wild action and few clues!

Lyla's probably my favorite female main character in the series, and Nicholas was great too with his strong faith and slightly grumpy exterior shell. Together they were an awesome team, and were better for the trials they endured.

Kekoa, Elinor, Brynn and the others were pretty hilarious, too. What a fun bunch of great people to work with!

Loved the Chick-fil-A reference too, by the way! Chick-fil-A is seriously my favorite fast food joint.

Honestly, Blind Trust is my favorite book of the SNAP agency series, and I'll pick up a copy as soon as I can!

For those who want the scoop on any content, that's just below..

Thanks to Revell Books for the complimentary e-book I received through Netgalley. I was not require to write a positive review, and the thoughts above  are my own.


Questionable Content

There's a mention of someone having a bachelorette party with champagne before.
Screw up, putz (means idiot, but also has a second very vulgar usage and meaning)
A side character curses (mentioned, not written) while listening to a song about a cheating man because her husband did the same to her, twice. A mention of a suspect at least being a loyal lover. A mention of a loincloth. *cringe* A kid says he likes the poop emoji. Just unnecessary. :-P

Overall, the content here is mild, and easily suited to my personal content preferences with just a few dabs of white-out. Then I'll pass it on to my younger siblings who can't wait to read it either. I'm really eager to see what Natalie writes next!

Awesome conclusion!

I loved this series! Amazing characters and relationships. Lyla's backstory was my favorite.

This book will definitely have you racing to the finish to discover the truth. Natalie Walters is amazing at bringing stories to life.

Blink Trust by Natalie Walters was a beautiful conclusion to this series. Just when you thought the SNAP series could not get any better, Natalie delivers Blind Trust. Just wow. For those reading the series we have been waiting for Lyla and Nicolas' story. and it was worth the wait.

I love it when an author can surprise me. When you are an avid reader you think you have seen all the plots and can figure out the endings about halfway through. Walters totally shocked me with a couple of her plot twists. Well done!!

I highly recommend this action-packed romantic suspense even if you have not read the series... but why wouldn't you read the entire series!?!

Blind Trust brings us to Lyla and Nicolas, (or Nic for short) storyline and the confrontation of their feelings for each other. They are both part of the Snap Agency and have been background agents in the other books. I really wanted to get to the bottom of their story.

Nic is a serious guy, and he is not sure what to do with his feelings for Lyla, and feelings he definitely has. He is concerned for her dangerous actions, even though she gets the bad guys, and he really, really wants her to be careful on her missions. So much so that he wonders if he is actually putting her in danger by even being there with her.

Lyla is a capable agent, and sometimes really gets aggravated with Nic's seemingly lack of trust in her and her abilities. She wants to prove herself to him that she is a valuable member of the team.

Their feelings are like a third character in their relationship and in their life. Even if they will not acknowledge them, or really even talk about them to anyone else, those feelings do not stay hidden. They are there for all the world to see.

This was a fantastic story with romance, danger, teamwork, and some serious undercover work. And someone is out to get Lyla no matter what the cost.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

I have loved the SNAP agency novels. They're fast-paced and suspenseful. You're going to need to block out time to read this without having to go away from the book. Trust me when I say that I did not want to put it down! Also, you might want to binge-read the entire series. Do know that there is a 0.5 book as well as books 1-3. Read them in order! That is an order!

This book focuses on Lyla and Nicholas. They're basically in love with each other(trust me you'll know this already if you've read the series) but won't admit it to each other. Nicholas is going to go to the extreme of leaving the agency because he can't see Lyla taking so many risks that she shouldn't. He can't stand seeing her in danger and wants to protect her at all costs.

Lyla is targeted in this book. Someone is out to get her. They'll not stop til she's dead. Something from the past is surfacing and nobody seems to know how it's connected to her.

Can Nicholas keep Lyla safe from danger and from herself? Can they have a happily ever after?

You're going to love this series conclusion! I literally read it in one evening forgoing sleep so that I could finish it!

Blind Trust is the second book I’ve read in this series. (How’d I missed book #2?) But have no fear if this series is new to you because each works fine as a standalone.

As with any story I’ve read by this author, I’m pulled in quickly. And I love it when I connect with a character from the get-go, as I have with Lyla. (Love the name, too.) I enjoyed Nicolas’s personality, cautious nature, and motivations.

Although mystery isn’t my go-to genre, I enjoyed this one so much. Loved the suspense. Loved the chemistry. I somehow missed the second book in this series, but I can’t imagine enjoying it more than this one. I certainly want to go back and catch up though!

#CoverLoverBookReview received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions are 100% mine.

In the conclusion to this series Walters brings together story lines that began in the prequel, so it helps to have read the entire series. Despite that this novel may be read as a stand-alone for the interplay between Lyla and Nicolas, as well as the steps involved in solving the case. Walters writes a great suspense novel with a light touch on the romance side of things. The characters keep their Christian faith important in their lives, looking to God's will for direction. I highly recommend this book.

Ahhh! The SNAP series. This will forever be my favorite series. Blind Trust is the cherry on top of the cake and the cake being the series. I loved Lyla and Garcia's story and can't wait to see what's next for Natalie!

This was an excellent series-ender. There were twists and turns and the storyline kept getting more and more complicated it seemed before it all came together in the end. The pacing of the revelation of the storyline was well done and brought you into the story and wanting to keep reading to find out what other detail there was or how it all worked together. I loved how contrasting the two protagonists were and how they had to come to grips with things in their past but also their contrasting personalities to see if they could be together. It gave off the feeling of authenticity in the romance part of the story.

It's the last book in this SNAP Agency series. Boo. I've really enjoyed this one so it's sad to see it coming to an end. I know and like these characters. They are familiar to me with the whole series feeling like community, family and trust.

The ongoing series has been dancing around Lyla and Nicolas from the beginning so it was quite the build up getting here, to their story. I feel like they had the slowest burn romance ever. Like turtle pace. Shying away and dancing around feelings of attraction and love which I get because they are coworkers. But it was agonizing. But, luckily, the crazy plot had me distracted so I wasn't completely wallowing in their lack of romantic action.

I am firmly team Nic. Lyla's personality is so different from mine that it was hard to relate to her completely but I admire her determination and courage. She definitely kept things lively.

I feel like there were a couple loose ends for me. Things that were brought up but not fully resolved. (Like if you are going to give a character a point of view in this story, then at least tell me what happened after everything went down. To his family. Which you brought into this story.) This one wasn't my favorite of the series but I did still enjoy it. The whole series overall is a good one. I would recommend reading this series in order although I do believe each book could be read as a stand alone.

I absolutely love reading romantic suspense and I'm glad for an author who is writing it so well. I'm looking forward to what comes next!

Content: moderate violence, death, peril.

The final book in The SNAP Agency series was Nicolas and Lyla's story. The chemistry between these two has been there from the very beginning and now we get to see all the backstory with them. They are two of my favorite characters from this series, besides Kekoa. I love how this team is like a family with their own rivalries and humorous antics.

Lyla has a target on her back and no one seems to know why. Nicolas is determined to keep her safe even though she tends to run towards danger instead of away from it. This story is packed with action, suspense, twists and turns and an ending that I did not see coming.

This was a great book from Natalie Walters. I love these characters and how they interact with each other. I love how strong willed Lyla is but that Garcia loves her anyway even though she frustrates him. I love that we finally get to read their story. I loved the suspense in this story and that they had to trust each other in order to survive. I liked watching their romance develop and seeing them be honest with each other about how they felt. I loved seeing characters from the other books because they have become like family to those reading this series. I had a great time reading this book and wish it wasn’t over.

I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors. A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.

This book was an explosive one.
This is really an opposite attract , Lyla is headstrong and impulsive while Nicolas is cautious and steady.
Lyla is in danger since she puts away someone. The team are doing what they can to protect her. Unfortunately the danger is everywhere.
The plot was full of twists and I love that. A lot of suspense that keep me on the edge.

It was a good ending for The SNAP agency.

This is my first book by this author but it won't be my last. It might be book 3 but it it is easily read as a standalone (though must confess I want to go back and read the first 2 now). Exciting, fast moving, action filled suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what was going to happen next. Christian without being preachy, and the book comes to a satisfying conclusion with all the questions raised answered. I received a copy of this book from the publisher but this review is my own.

What a fun finale to the SNAP Agency series! I really liked this story; the mystery kept me on the tip of my seat and the romantic tension between Layla and Nic was on fire! I had trouble putting this one down-I needed to know what happened next and I needed to know immediately. I pretty much devoured this one in an afternoon! It's a quick and easy read that pulls in the reader from page one and it doesn't quit. A great read!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher but also purchased my own Audible copy. I was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.

Blind Trust by Natalie Walters brings a nice mix of both suspense and romance. Lila Fox and Nicolas Garcia have obviously had a thing for each other since Lights Out. But Nic can’t stand watching Lila run headfirst into danger. When she becomes a target, he steps in as her protector, whether she likes it or not.

I love this story along with the entire series. Lila has always been one of the more fascinating characters. She’s bold, opinionated, and speaks fluent sarcasm – the opposite of reserved Nic. Readers have a front row seat to the inner workings of Nic and Lila’s relationship as they grow closer together while being dragged into an international investigation. Danger and romance blend perfectly together in Blind Trust. I love how this book ties into the prequel novella, Initium, concluding an epic series.

Be sure to check out Blind Trust, but if you haven’t read the others in the series, start with Initium and read them all.
