I’m disappointed to see the end of the SNAP Agency series! Blind Trust, the third and final book being some surprises along with suspense and romance.

Lyla Fox always pushes the envelopes but gets the bad guys. Nicolas Garcia, an explosive expert from his military says, knows the danger of taking risk. Total opposites even if good friends.

Lylas life is threatened and people seem to be dropping all around. Can the figure out whose behind the case before Lyla is next?

I love Natalie’s books and unfortunately, I’ve read them all now. Hope I don’t have to wait long for her next release.

I read and reviewed this book from NetGalley.

Natalie Walters hits a good blend of suspense and romance in Blind Trust. Lyla Fox and Nicolás Garcia work together, but when Lyla is being targeted, Nicolás makes her safety his responsibility. The story moved with the right amount of suspense, action, romance, and a well-developed, well-thought plot. Great surprises as the story unfolded and an interesting mix and interplay of characters.

I normally really enjoy Natalie Walters books, but I just didn't like this one much. I don't like leaving a bad review so I'll start with the positives.

The story line is good. There are parts that are exciting and the action is great! The main thing I didn't like was Lyla's personality. It just rubbed me the wrong way. I understand the author was going for an impulsive personality, but unfortunately, Lyla comes across as recklessly stupid. She constantly puts herself in danger and never thinks of the repercussions. I wouldn't have minded so much, but she does it again and again throughout the book.

For this reason, I was not impressed with Blind Trust. I will read other books by Natalie Walters in the future and hope they are better.

I really enjoyed "Blind Trust". I was hooked from the first page and throughout the entire book. This book had non-stop action and suspense with some great romantic tension. I loved Layla and Nicolas' story. I enjoyed all the books in this series, but I believe this one was my favorite. I highly recommend this book if you enjoy good, clean, romantic suspense novels.

I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This is a great final book in the SNAP series - plenty of suspense, page-turning action, romantic tension, and questions. Although this could be read as a stand-alone, having read the prequel novella and first two books in the series adds depth to really appreciate the relationships and work of the agency. A captivating read!

Another great book in the SNAP Agency series! While this is book 3, you could probably read this one as a stand-alone, but I'd recommend reading the earlier books in the series to get a feel for the dynamics of the SNAP team as that will help you to better understand the dynamics happening throughout this book. I'd definitely recommend reading the prequel novella Initium prior to this one as some of the events in that story show up in this one. If you haven't read that one (or if, like me, it's been awhile) there's enough information provided in this one that you won't be lost, but this does have spoilers in it for that one, so I wouldn't recommend reading Initium after Blind Trust.

If you're a fan of the series and have enjoyed the banter between Lyla and Garcia, they finally get their story in this final installment. We get to see a little of their respective pasts that help to explain why they get under each other's skin so much. When death threats from someone Lyla helped put in prison a few years ago begin to escalate and Nicolas Garcia is offered an assignment on his old team, all of the sparks begin to fly. As Lyla and Nic navigate these issues as well as their own growing feelings towards each other, both the action and the potential for romance increase. There was a great deal of character growth and development and a solid faith thread woven throughout. Themes of trusting in God were prevalent throughout as well. The mystery/suspense element kept me turning pages, and some of the banter had me literally laughing out loud. While I've enjoyed all of the SNAP Agency books, I believe this one is my favorite. If you enjoy romantic suspense novels, this is one I'd definitely recommend! Special thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-copy of this book. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

Lyla and Nic captured my heart in this one and the action was just right. I'm sad this is the last book in the series because I've really come to love all the characters, but it was a perfect ending. Natalie Walters fans will be delighted!

I was given a copy of this book for review purposes. All of my expressed opinions are my own.

This was another thrilling addition to the SNAP series! While I felt that the previous book suffered a bit from the 'second book syndrome' this one makes up for it! Natalie Walters is back with an action-packed new installment to the beloved SNAP Agents series, and I'm to excited about this latest installment.

I loved seeing more of the cast of iconic characters, and loved the banter and quips in this one. These character are a hoot, and this one was a shining example of that! Action-packed, intricate plot, high-stakes suspense, and loads of laughs, I loved reading this one!

Amazing book by Walter's. There are a lot of intricate details which require the reader to pay close attention to ensure they have a clear understanding of what is going on. The book is intriguing and you really don't see the ending coming.

This book hit all the main tick marks for me. Lyla finds herself at the center of being targeted by someone she helped put behind bars. And while she is fully convinced she can take care of herself and doesn’t need no man to tell her how to operate, Garcia will do everything to make sure she is safe. For every risk Lyla is willing to take, Garcia has her back making sure it doesn’t end in disaster. What I love the most about these two is the banter. There’s no preamble with them. We know who they are. We know that they are friends, and we also know that they butt heads often. There are a lot of twists and turns with one big surprise at the end that I did not see coming at all. Natalie Walters has outdone herself this time, and I was so satisfied finishing this story.

I laughed a lot reading this book! These characters are fantastic, especially Kekoa, but it's not even about the characters themselves as much as how they interact with one another. The team chemistry is wonderful.

It appears to be a common theme with authors to tease a certain story in the first couple books and then leave it for the last book. I say that because I keep saying in reviews "I've been waiting for this story!" and that's how I felt with Lyla and Nic's story. Man, I wanted to knock those two upside the head sometimes but I also love them.

I wanted to hug Lyla. The poor girl. (She's almost my age and that was weird to figure out). I felt for her because I regularly feel the same way. I always enjoy reading about characters who think or feel in ways that I do because it's helpful for me to see how they handle things. I'm not nearly as impulsive as Lyla though :)

The mystery/case was really interesting, especially with the historical tie-in, but I felt like there were a LOT of things left unanswered and the "reveal"/climax felt rushed and sort of anti-climactic. It just felt odd to me. Those things are why I I gave it four stars instead of five. Otherwise, I really liked this book and thought the whole series was very interesting. Now I have to figure out how to read that novella!

Cue all the feelings... I am sad that this is the end of the SNAP series. But I am also feeling the excitement of an ending that blew me away (c'mon, that's kind of punny) and wrapped everything up in ways I didn't expect. And also giddy happy sighs because of Nicolas (I honestly can't think of him as Nic or Garcia after this book) and Lyla. The characters that make up the SNAP agency are some of my favorite. I love their teasing and banter. I love that there are moments of humor that take me by surprise to diffuse some of the tension from the action. The romantic tension in this one was on point from start to finish and the action starts right out of the gate! I thought it was the perfect balance. I highly recommend this entire series (starting with the Intro novella) to fans of romantic suspense.

With the end of the SNAP series by Natalie Walters we finally get Nicolás and Lyla's story that has been expertly building since book one.
Lyla Fox is a well connected, invaluable, spunky member of the SNAP team. As the youngest she continually feels like she has to prove herself and remind everyone she CAN do her job and do it well.
Nicolás Garcia is the team's very reserved, health nut, explosives expert. He finds himself a bit lost doing everything he knows to keep his emotions in check and his professionalism firmly in place.
This series has been a lot of fun. As I've read through the stories it was exciting to see some of my suspicious come to fruition. I was also pleasantly surprised by some of the twists and turns catch me unaware.
The characters were well developed. The dynamics of the SNAP team are intriguing. The layers have been entertaining.
Thank you NetGalley and Revell for the opportunity to read the conclusion to this series. Well done, Natalie Walters!

Natalie Walters is one of my favorite Christian Romantic Suspense authors and a definite auto buy author. I have been looking forward to Garcia and Lyla's story since the first book in this series. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The only thing I'm disappointed in is that this series is over.

Ms Walters is a master of writing stories that immediately sucks you in and keeps you interested during the entire book. It begins with action and suspense and doesn't let up. The plot is well written with twists and turns that will keep you guessing. The character development is fantastic. The amount of romantic tension is perfect. I also loved the humor that the author adds to this story and the entire series. It was so good seeing all of the characters from the series that I loved so much, especially Kekoa. Seriously, he is just the best. I highly recommend this series.

Ahhhhh! I’ve been so anticipating this final installment of The SNAP Agency series. And it didn’t disappoint.

Blind Trust is a thrilling romantic suspense. If you haven’t read Lights Out (book 1) & Fatal Code (book 2), you’ll definitely want to do so before starting this one because these stories build on each other. Better yet, start with the prequel novella Initium—you’ll be glad you did when you finally read Blind Trust.

I’m going to keep this review spoiler-free, so all I’m gonna say is there is SO MUCH (good) ANGST. Garcia and Lyla were intriguing side characters in the first 2 books, but here we finally really get to know them. I even have a favorite scene or two in this book…and one of them involves a baseball bat. IYKYK.

Natalie Walters has brought this series to a beautiful close. Blind Trust is well-written, kept me guessing, and I didn’t want to put it down. I’m going to miss the SNAP Agency team. But I’m also excited for whatever new story Walters comes up with next!

Definitely a five star read for me!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m super grateful to Revell and NetGalley for the advance ebook copy to read! All opinions are my own.

Blind Trust is the final book in the SNAP Agency series, say it isn’t so!!!! If you’ve followed the series you know that readers have been waiting for this story! Lyla and Garcia are finally getting their time in the spotlight and their relationship was like an intense roller coaster ride! The team was all present and accounted for and Kekoa is still my absolute favorite! His humor kept me chuckling and was perfectly timed to bring a little levity when things were getting on the serious side! Garcia’s strong and steady personality was the exact opposite to Lylas headstrong and daring nature, which caused some friction, but also allowed each of them to help balance out the other. Lyla was hard for me to handle and I really didn’t enjoy how she handled situations, but her drive and passion for her job and family was something that I admired about her. I can’t really say too much about the suspense angles of this book without giving spoilers, but this plot steadily became more involved as the book progressed. Everything definitely ramps up at the conclusion, so hold on! The last chapters of the book are intense and yes, a bit nail biting! Yikes! However, there may also be some long awaited romance….just maybe! This team has been a fun one to get to know through the pages of these stories! It’s always a little bittersweet when a series wraps up, however Natalie Walters is a must read author for me, so I cannot wait to see what comes next for her books!

Blind Trust is book three in The SNAP Agency trilogy. I have been looking forward to Lyla and Garcia's story since I read Lights Out. This story nicely wraps up this series and gives us answers to questions we didn't even know we had!

Blind Trust is filled with action, plot twists, and jaw dropping surprises that kept me guessing throughout the story. I really liked Garcia and his desire to keep Lyla safe from her impulsive actions, and boy was she impulsive! Honestly, she was a little too impulsive for me and I felt like she didn't follow direct orders like she should have, so it was harder for me to connect with her. And as usual, in my opinion, the shining star in this story was Kekoa! I just love him and his sense of humor!

I'm really looking forward to whatever Natalie Walters brings us next!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. The faith thread is light.

I just finished and I'm still processing, but I have to say this much...

This story feels so real that I was afraid for the safety of Natalie Walters! The details and craftsmanship are so strong and vivid that I envisioned her caught up in the massive conspiracy along with Lyla and Garcia and the SNAP team.

Be prepared for the adrenaline rush of your life!

I have been waiting patiently to finally get Lyla’s story, she always bugged me because of her impulsivity and I knew I wanted a book that showed us more of who she is and why, and Blind Trust does exactly that.

To say that this story starts with a bang is an understatement, and it just does not stop, every twist and turn keeps churning out more what-ifs. Lyla is determined to find out why Jerome Miller after he committed suicide (supposedly) can still reach out from his grave to cause problems. Even though these things are happening to Lyla we learn that it’s so much bigger than these scapes that Lyla is dealing with.

I liked the relationship between Lyla and Nicolas which has been been in development since the first book in the series. I would suggest reading the prequel if you haven’t because it will help you enjoy this series even more because Tom Walsh’s story in Initium reaches into Blind Faith, and though it can still be enjoyed as a stand-alone, and it just made things SO much more interesting, and it plunges us even more into the depth of this novel. I would say more but then I might have to disappear on you!

My gratitude to Revell and NetGalley. All opinions expressed are honest and mine.

"Blind Trust" is a Christian romantic suspense. This is the third book in a series, but it works as a stand alone. The characters reacted realistically to events and came across as real people with genuine struggles. Lyla's passionate about protecting the innocent, so she often ran into danger without thought to the danger to herself. Since she's skilled, she's able to handle the danger. However, Nic's more cautious and a planner. He'd rather that she assess the risks and realize how harm to her would affect those that care for her.

Nic loved Lyla but couldn't handle the danger she was often in, so he was considering leaving SNAP. Nic and Lyla cared about each other, knew each other well, and even apologized and tried to compromise, but compromise wasn't solving the underlying fears and hurt. Both had epiphany moments that shifted their perspectives, allowing for a healthy relationship to bloom. The suspense came from attacks (mostly with Lyla in danger). There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.
