Happy Friday, my bookish friends! First Line Friday is hosted by Carrie
at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader
for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. This week I am reading Blind Trust by by Natalie Walters.
"How much longer?"
Book Beginnings:
"How much longer?"
Lyla fox gritted her teeth at the voice echoing through thte tiny earpiece. "Working on it." She kept her voice low. "Not all of us are computer geniuses." Like Kekoa Young, SNAP Agency's cyber guru, who was now chuckling in her ear.
Casting a quick glance over her shoulder from her desk at the front of the office, Lyla checked exam room 4, where Gretchen was getting vitals from an elderly patient named Claude. The door was still closed. As was the door across from it. She exhaled. The last thing Lyla needed was for Dr. Castillo to catch her stealing files.
"I prefer hunky Hawaiian cybergod, or just hunky."
Synopsis (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 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 reckless choices more
than anyone else.
Explosives and weapons specialist Nicolas
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.
Natalie Walters
closes out her SNAP Agency series with a bang with this nail-biting
story of a deadly government conspiracy, an unlikely couple, and an
ending that will leave you breathless.

London’s East End March 1801
Impulse made Heath Duncan’s hands slick, made his young muscles tighten with the urge to sprint away.
Hi Paula, I have seen that one making its rounds, I hope you enjoy it!
