Natalie Walters: Blind Trust

By Kelly Bridgewater

When Lyla Fox receives a threatening letter from a man she put in prison, she uncovers clues that lead to a deadly government conspiracy--making her a target that fellow SNAP Agent Nicolás Garcia will protect at all costs. But working with Lyla proves to be more dangerous than he expects--for the mission and for his heart.


 

My Thoughts:

Blind Trust by Natalie Walters is defined as a romantic suspense novel. With plenty of suspenseful moments and an overarching romance, Walters does deliver exactly what fans of the genre want. However, the plot does focus on the romance between Nic and Lyla way more than the suspense in the first half of the novel. With the constant reassurance that they were not in a relationship, Lyla and Nic's emotions ran across the pages of the story. Of course, there is a suspense element. Someone wants to take out Lyla and with Nic's overbearing emotions and feelings for Lyla, he does not want this to happen. The suspenseful plot was a little disappointing. I wanted a lot more. The ending was predictable and has been done a number of times before. While I love the idea of the SNAP group, it was not really that prominent in this story. Walters does handle the idea of a suspense novel but with her safe topics. I want suspense novels that keep me on the edge of my seat, flipping through the pages way past my bedtime. Sleep is for the weak. With Blind Trust, this was not the issue. Readers could put down the story and return at another time and completely remember what they had read before. Overall, Blind Trust by Natalie Walters delivers a romantic suspense novel, but it is a little heavy on the romance more than the suspense.

I received a complimentary copy of Blind Trust by Natalie Walters through Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

My Rating: 3. 5 out of 5 stars
