She's risking her life. He's risking his heart. It's unclear which is more dangerous.

Lyla Fox knows she has a reputation at the SNAP Agency for being impulsive, 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 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.

I have no fingernails left after reading this romantic suspense novel by the super-talented Natalie Walters. The SNAP Agency is one of those mysterious agencies consisting of highly qualified and highly trained individuals who take care of business by taking down the bad guys. This is the third and final installment in this series, and I am really sad to see it end. Natalie Walters did a bang-up job of wrapping everything up.

Lyla Fox is the most reckless member of the team. She is a daredevil who will go to any lengths to finish her assignment, even putting her life in danger to save others. It is an admirable trait from the outside looking in, but to those who love her, it is nerve-wracking. Nicolas Garcia is the resident explosives and weapons specialist on the team. He is a superhero of sorts, but begrudgingly his heart belongs to Lyla. He has not voiced his feelings to Lyla, but the undercurrent of romance lurks beneath the surface for both Lyla and Nic. When Lyla receives a threatening letter from a man she helped convict and put in prison, she knows she will need the help of Nic and others on her team. From that point forward, the action amps up, and it does not stop until the closing pages.

I was completely immersed in this book once I started reading it. That is one of Natalie Walters' talents. She knows how to pull the reader into the story and make the characters and the story very real to the reader. I absolutely love the characters in this series, and I highly recommend starting from book #1. However, you can read this book as a standalone. As usual, Kekoa will always be my favorite character in this series. He is a computer expert who provides much-needed comic relief to his teammates when things are tense. The man loves to eat and makes no bones about it. Natalie Walters knows how to provide the perfect mix of mystery and suspense, romance, humor, and an inspirational thread as well. Perfect read!

Thank you to Revell Books for a courtesy copy of this book through Interviews and Reviews. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

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 by how it all played out.

The romantic tension between the main characters was perfectly written, making it easy to connect with their emotions and causing me to invest myself in the story.

Nicolas struggles to balance 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 values his approval but doesn’t understand why he’s determined to hold her back. She wants his trust and friendship and 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.
