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.
