Blind Trust is the final installment in Natalie Walters’ SNAP Agency series. I loved the character development throughout the series, culminating in Lyla’s and Nicholas’ story. There was romantic tension, suspense, mystery, and a lot of action! All the books in the series were hard for me to put down, this being no exception. I recommend the entire series! I look forward to what Ms. Walters has in store next.

Thank you to Netgalley and Revel for the opportunity to read this ARC and give my honest opinion of the book.

I received this book as an ARC with no expectation of a positive review.

Ms. Walters is a new author to me. This book is fabulous. I learned so much. Lyla and Nicholas as well as all the members of SNAP are fabulous characters. Lyla receives notes from a person she helped to put in jail due to money laundering. SNAP thinks they closed the case. Is it really closed or did they just hit a tip of the iceburg..

I was drawn into the story. I did not want it to end. I will certainly be reading more of Ms. Walter's books.

“Blind Trust” by Natalie Walters is the third and final book of the SNAP Agency series. Lyla and Garcia… finally!

Lyla Fox is being threatened and Nicolas Garcia wants to do everything in his power to protect her. But Lyla is stubborn and protecting her can be difficult, leaving Garcia second-guessing his own past.
To find who is behind the threat, Lyla and Garcia have to learn to trust each other.

Ms. Walters wraps up the series with a nod to the beginning.
Can’t wait to see, and read, what she brings us next.

Yes, this is the conclusion on the SNAP series, and it is a page turner! This is Lyla and Nic's story, and we are reunited with some of the past characters, but this can be read alone!

This final book of great Christian Suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat, and holding your breath, will they all make it to the end?

There are some very big surprises here, and most you won't see coming, but you won't be able to leave until you find out.

We are offered some major crimes, along with danger to our national security, some family drama, and some very sweet romance. The story is told based on some true facts, be sure to read the author's notes.

Now I can't wait for the next book by Natalie Walters!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.

The conclusion of the Snap Agency wraps up nicely with Lyla and Nicolas' story. Will Nicolas be able to protect Lyla and her reckless choices? The team works together as Lyla becomes a target. Well rounded and likeable characters. Lots of action!

Nicolás Garcia wants to keep everyone safe—especially the SNAP (Strategic Neutralization and Protection) Agency members. But his feisty fellow agent Lyla Fox makes his job next to impossible. Lyla never runs from danger and seems to take Nic’s advice to hold back as a personal insult. And Nic doesn’t want to insult Lyla because he values her friendship. He wonders if he should leave the agency. Before he can make up his mind, someone takes a shot at Lyla. And Nic would rather die than see Lyla suffer.

Lyla Fox loves working at the SNAP Agency, and her social and political connections help her clean up other people’s messes and find answers for her agency. When a man she helped put behind bars dies in prison, Lyla believes the vague threats on her life will end. But a brick to her windshield and flying bullets prove otherwise. Lyla wants to protect her family and fight for justice. But suddenly, Nic doesn’t want her taking chances.

Can Lyla change before her actions get her killed? How will Nic handle his growing feelings for his coworker?

What I Liked About This Book

Blind Trust is the first book I’ve read by Natalie Walters, and despite being the third in a series, readers will enjoy it as a standalone novel. If you love inspirational suspense, you’ll enjoy this fast-paced thriller with enough plot twists to keep your head spinning. The friendships between the fictional SNAP Agency members quickly endear them to the reader.

Fans of Cara Putman, Nancy Mehl, and Elizabeth Goddard will enjoy Blind Trust.

Man. I love a good Natalie Walters book.

For this entire series, I’ve been waiting for Garcia and Lyla’s story. And Walters delivered.

Blind Trust is full of the banter I love so much between these two, as well as the camaraderie I’ve appreciated between the members of the fictional SNAP Agency. I about swooned so many times, it’s not even funny.

But the suspense was incredible. Walters throws so many curveballs you would think you were at a baseball game. But they aren’t plot twists for the sake of plot twists. They make sense and keep you guessing and reading late when you should be productive. But who needs productivity when you can read a Natalie Walters book?

Overall, Blind Trust is a gripping suspense with a sweet romance arc. Romantic suspense fans won’t want to miss it.

What a thrilling conclusion to a fantastic series! Lyla and Garcia’s story is full of the drama, danger, & intensity you would expect from these two! Their story far exceeded my expectations with many twists I never saw coming. Absolutely riveting!

Quick to act Lyla once again finds herself in danger but when that danger takes a more personal turn and effects her family, she needs to figure out how to find out who is targeting her without jeopardizing those she loves.

Garcia finds himself being distracted by Lyla and her stubborn determination to run head first into danger. He finds himself questioning if he should stay with the agency or distance himself by taking another job thus putting space between his growing feelings for Lyla. When is is clear danger is stalking her, he needs to decide if he can set aside is feelings to be the help she needs.

If I could give this book 10 stars, I would! I loved getting to finally learn what makes Lyla and Garcia who they are. Their backstories are fascinating. This book draws you in and refuses to let go. I truly hated to see this one and the series end.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

Blind Trust is a contemporary thriller written by Natalie Walters. It is book three in The SNAP Agency series, and while this book can be read as a standalone, I wouldn't recommend it as the back story in previous books lays the foundation for this one.

Summary: Lyla Fox is used to danger-it comes with her job at SNAP. So, when she receives a threatening letter, she immediately begins her own investigation-regardless of her own personal safety. Can Nicolás Garcia and her other SNAP teammates protect her, or will she go too far this time?

My Thoughts: I liked this book. I am kind of sad to see the series end, as it's been a fun read. And, I have been waiting for Lyla and Nicolás' story, so it was nice to finally read about it.

I enjoyed the mystery in this one, the characters in this series are well-developed and likeable, and there was a lot of action as well.

It was a one-time read for me but is a good book overall.

I would like to thank Revell for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the Arc of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
* Christian fiction
Excellent conclusion to the Snap Agency series!
Non stop action and suspense. I loved the characters and hope to see a Christmas Novella.
I highly recommend you to read the series in order. Readers who like romantic suspense with humor would like this book.
4 stars

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Nic and Lyla have to work together but the spark and bite the two have between them will draw you in.

The book starts out with Lyla in an undercover operation and Nic losing his patience as she puts herself at risk during the take down.

As her life is on the line her and Nic and the SNAP division Spring to action to find who is behind the dealings and killings.

Great read!

I have truly enjoyed this series by Natalie Walters. Her characters are one big SNAP Agency family to each other and to me. Of Director Walsh, Jack and Brynn, Kekoa and Elinor, Lyla and Nicolas, I don’t think I could pick a favorite.
I loved all four of the books, which include Intium, the prequel novella. Don’t miss the prequel even if you’ve already read any of he others, it is so good and helped me understand the whole series better.
Natalie is one of my favorite writers in romantic suspense. I am usually a wimp when it comes to nail biting scenes and this one had some high level stuff toward the end. I had to stop a few times just to settle down. The banter, the relationships, the faith thread and the suspense are spot on. I recommend this book and the entire series.

Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read this book. These opinions are entirely my own.

I have really enjoyed the SNAP agency series. This one was just as good as the others. Intriguing and romantic, as well as a few surprises along the way. It will definitely keep you on your toes. This book was not as embedded as other book books in their Christian walk but still was clean and showed a little of it.
I recieved a free copy so that I might tell you what I honestly think. Hope you enjoyed my review. Now go enjoy the book.

I was all in from the beginning until end!
This novel has so many great things happening in it like just wow!
My favorite thing the fast action and the guessing part of who dunit!
The characters were wonderful and I loved in getting to know them.
The plot had so many twists and turns that sometimes it made my head spin just thinking about because it was so exciting!
I'm feeling sad because this is the end of a great series and right now I'm thinking it's gonna be my favorite of hers.
I will say however I'm always looking forward to seeing what Walters will write next. Hopefully as good as this series was! Way to go Ms. Walters!! I loved every minute of this book! You've made my heart feel full and satisfied.
5 stars for a job well done! I highly recommend!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Blind Trust is the third installment from The SNAP Agency series by Natalie Walters. I believe this one is my favorite of the series. Five stars.

Suspenseful, action packed, some romance thrown in, add some faith, and you have a home run. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Blind Trust grabs you from the very start and never lets go. This book is romantic suspense at its very best. There were twists and turns that kept me guessing right to the end and I was surprised how it all played out.
The romantic tension between the main characters was perfectly written, making it easy to connect with their emotions and cause me to invest myself in the story.
Nicolas struggles to find balance between work and his natural instinct to protect Lyla from her own impulsive nature. How can he keep her safe if she’s eager to run headlong into danger? He may find those very traits are what make her so attractive to him.
Lyla doesn’t understand Nic’s distrust of her decisions. She really values his approval but doesn’t understand why he’s determined to hold her back. She wants his trust, and his friendship, and she may find she wants more.
What a wonderful end to this series. I love the way faith is woven into each story. I can’t wait for Natalie’s next book!
I was given a copy through NetGalley courtesy of Revell a division of Baker Publishing Group. This is my honest opinion of the book.

5 Stars!

Summary/Description: Lyla Fox knows she has a reputation at the SNAP Agency for impulsivity, but when she receives a threatening letter from a man she helped put in prison, she can't stop herself from going all in to find out why he's coming after her. Unfortunately, she's going to need the help of the one person who questions her reckless choices more than anyone else. Explosives and weapons specialist Nicolás Garcia agrees to help Lyla in order to keep her safe, but her recklessness continues to be a major concern, especially when her investigation into a conspiracy puts a target on her back. Dealing with bombs is dangerous. Working with Lyla is proving to be just as treacherous--to both the mission and his heart. Natalie Walters closes out her SNAP Agency series with a bang with this nail-biting story of a deadly government conspiracy, an unlikely couple, and an ending that will leave you breathless.

This riveting book is incredible! From the suspenseful storyline to the sensational characters to the sweet romance --- Blind Trust is an absolute must-read!

Blind Trust is full of intrigue, surprises, action, witty banter, friendships, teamwork, and romance!

The faith that Nicolás, one of the main characters, displays throughout the book is authentically appealing and magnetic. It draws the reader in and adds another level of greatness to the story!

Natalie Walters is exceptionally talented and a gifted writer. The pace of Blind Trust is perfect, and the everyday real-life inclusion of the Christian faith will keep this reader coming back for more of her books.
