Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
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 investigating why a threatening letter was delivered after he was no longer able to carry it out. She's going to need the help of the person who questions her reckless choices more than anyone else. Explosives and weapons specialist Nicolas Garcia loves Lyla, but her recklessness continues to be a major concern. Dealing with bombs is dangerous. Working with Lyla is proving to be just as dangerous--to both the mission and his heart.


My Review:
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.
