About this item

A protective hero and his best friend’s fearless sister risk everything as desire and danger collide in this heart-pounding romantic mystery from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brittney Sahin.

Hudson Ashford, a former Navy SEAL turned private security expert, has sworn off romance—especially when it comes to his best friend’s sister. Between protecting clients, running his bar, and avoiding the political spotlight as the son of a prominent governor, Hudson keeps his life tightly controlled, leaving no room for complications—or emotions.

Isabella Costa, a headstrong billionaire with a compassionate heart, refuses to give up on the future she dreamed of with the man she thought she could never have. But when a dangerous threat from their past resurfaces, chaos erupts. What begins as a routine undercover operation quickly spirals into murder, trapping them in a nightmare from which there’s no escape. Forced into close quarters, Hudson and Isabella must confront not only their shared history but also their undeniable attraction.

As enemies close in and deadly consequences loom, can they outrun the secrets of their past? Or will the truth they uncover tear them apart forever? Duet narration by Connor Crais and Ava Lucas. Special guest cameo by Joseph Cannata.

    The Art of You is equally riveting as the first two books in the Costa Family series, if not more so. It's intense, tension filled, suspense and danger abound. Brittney Sahin masterfully incorporates "what ifs" into the storyline as she leads you through a maze of isolated and related incidents. You'll keep guessing and assume you've figured things out only to be thrown a curveball. Is it a revenge plot? Or an overly ambitious reporter looking for a salacious story? Or a stalker? Or is it politically motivated? Yes, all of those will definitely cross your mind as the Costa brothers including Hudson, a brother by bond and Isabella, their sister try to sort out who is behind the ongoing danger they all seem to be in. Add in a friends to lover's romance that's been building for seven years and doesn't get any better than that. Both Hudson and Bella have tragic events in their lives that have shaped them into who they are today. Falling in love with a woman who has not one but three overprotective and overbearing brothers may not be the best choice. Besides Hudson is carrying an inordinate amount of guilt around. It takes some well placed words from an unexpected source after Hudson reveals his inner turmoil for him to pull his head and realize Bella is his his one. But a dangerous and deadly situation arises that demans every bit of his courage, skill and training to be put to the test to save his love.

    The Art Of You, by Brittney Sahin, is her latest Masterpiece! The story is an emotional rollercoaster that leaves the reader rooting for Hudson and Isabella! this book is the third installment of the Costa series.

    Hudson Ashford, a former Navy Seal, son of a prominent governor, bar owner, and night hunter. Isabella, or Bella as Hudson calls her, is the youngest of her siblings. She is fearless, and artistic and has such a deep, insightful way about her. Hudson describes Bella as a Sweet, Funny, charming Italian Goddess. Bella has been in love with Hudson for years. Her determination to see if they could be more than just co-workers is legendary. Even her brothers are aware of her crush on Hudson.

    What I loved about this book, along with the mystery, suspense, and cameos of past characters, was the characters Themselves. Brittney Sahin outdid herself with character development. Hudson is riddled with misplaced guilt. He struggles with his own family dynamics and is convinced he would break Bellas's heart. Bella sees Hudson as protective, loyal, and incredibly considerate. These two have a lot to work through. The chemistry between them is undeniable. It was delightful to see their story unfold.
    Another wonderful read by a very talented author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible story and characters.

    The Art of You is one of those books that stays with you long after you’ve finished. The incredible, larger-than-life characters with much to overcome, the story that moves swiftly, full of emotion and suspense, and the feelings generated from beginning to end make this Brittney Sahin book unforgettable. Hudson is a hero to die for. He’s protective, broody, and a bit broken. Not to mention he’s Bella’s older brother’s best friend. Bella is fierce, independent, and stubborn, just like her brothers. Once she sets her sights on Hudson nothing will deter her.

    As usual, Brittney Sahin shows depth and mastery in her storytelling. The characters are well-developed, and filled with emotion, angst, and deep love. The story is all-consuming with suspense, humor, banter, and jaw-dropping twists and turns you won’t see coming. I love that her characters grow within their stories and through the series. Few authors I’ve read can touch me like her stories do, and stay with me long after I’m finished reading. The Costas is a perfect series to read over and over again and discover something new each time. Imagine what it would be like on the big screen. Wow!! I’m really excited about Constantine’s book, yet reticent because it will be the end of this incredible series.

    The Art of You by Brittney Sahin is the latest release of The Costa family series (Book 3).

    Hudson, former FBI and military, works with the Costa family in their private security/off the books ops. Bella, the youngest Costa, also works for their private security and is an artist. Hudson and Bella have extreme chemistry that pulls each other together. But it's frowned upon since she is the baby of the Costa family and the overprotective brothers, which Hudson is best friends with.

    While on an op, Hudson and Bella get into a car accident that makes them realize how much they both mean to each other, but also reveals the darkness from both of their pasts.

    The story is full of ups, downs, tears, cheers, banter, longing, angst, action, adventure, spice, and romance. There are cameos from Brittney Sahins' previous books as well!! (Let's just say there were parts I had to stop and fan myself because of the level of spiciness!!)

    Hudson has my heart. He is absolutely perfect, and I am quite jealous of Bella for that reason!

    *Ditto* ❤️????

    Thank you, Brittney Sahin, for another well written book!!

    The Art of You is the slow burn, friends to lovers romance we've been waiting for for Hudson and Isabella! Izzy has been trying to get her brother's best friend's attention for years, and Hudson has done his best to ignore the beautiful Isabella Costa as best as he can. Now they work together daily, and her life is in danger, potentially because of him. I adore the dynamic between Izzy and Hudson. The banter and chemistry between them is glorious, as is the banter between all the Costa siblings. As with every book written by this author, the suspenseful storyline kept me on my toes. I couldn't wait to see who was going to pop in next from the other teams as well as find out what was going to happen next for Hudson, Izzy, and the rest of the Costa family. I was enthralled all the way to the very last page!
