The Best of Us

By: Brittney Sahin

Narrated by: Christian Fox, Ava Lucas, Connor Crais, Tim Paige, Liam DiCosimo

A man driven by duty and a woman who never gave up hope are thrust together by fate and a secret he never saw coming in a captivating novel of love, danger, and sacrifice by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brittney Sahin.

Constantine Costa has spent his life shielding others from harm. As the eldest brother and a former clandestine operative, he’s made it his mission to help those who can’t help themselves. But despite his strength and dedication, there’s always been something missing—a void he’s never been able to fill.

Juliette Carmichael had her future mapped out with medical school, a bright career, and a stable life all within her grasp. But on her twenty-first birthday, she threw caution to the wind and embraced a moment of freedom. No names. No expectations. An unforgettable connection with a stranger who made her feel truly alive. A night that left her with more than just memories . . .

Seventeen years later, Constantine’s world shatters after the thief he tracks down turns out to be his own son. And when his latest mission collides with his son’s troubled world, reuniting him with the woman who left a mark on his soul, all their lives are thrown into chaos.

As the intense attraction between them ignites once again—fierce, raw, and impossible to resist—so do old wounds, doubts, and unspoken fears. The past they never confronted threatens to tear them apart as danger closes in.

Protecting his family becomes Constantine’s only mission. But surrendering his heart to the woman he never forgot may be the only way to save them all.

I like books that are narrated this way like it's an old fashioned radio show where everybody's their own voice.

This book was really good. Wrap up to the Costa family. i like the fact that this book was narrated like a radio show with everybody playing ourselves. the whole one person trying to mimic the other person drives me nuts. I wish I woul.I wish everybody did the books this way.

A Bittersweet Farewell to the Costas

I don’t even know where to begin with The Best of Us. Every time I finish one of Brittney’s books, I think, “This is her best one yet.” But this one? It just felt different—deeper, more intimate, and incredibly moving.

It’s a stunning story about self-forgiveness, second chances, and letting go of the kind of grief that grabs hold and doesn’t let go. It’s about hope, healing, and most importantly—faith.

This was Brittney’s least spicy book to date, and honestly? That was 100% okay. The emotional intimacy was so powerful, the story didn’t need spice. It had heart—and that was more than enough for me.

A bittersweet, perfect ending to the Costa Family series. As sad as I am to say goodbye, Brittney always has a way of bringing her characters back when you least expect it. So this isn’t goodbye—it’s just see you later.

The audio for The Best of Us was absolutely phenomenal! A full cast, duet narration brought this story to life in the most vivid and emotional way.

Christian Fox as Constantine? Perfection. He delivered every emotion—from humor to heartbreak—with such authenticity. Ava Lucas is always outstanding, and Connor Crais matched that energy flawlessly. The accents throughout were a wonderful touch and added to the richness of the world.

Also, huge shoutout to Liam DiCosimo and Tim Paige—new voices to me, but they’ve earned a spot on my “must listen to” list.

If you’re debating reading or listening—do both! The narration takes an already beautiful story and elevates it even more.

Must Read

This is definitely a must read. It is such a heartfelt story. The storyline will keep you on the edge of your seat. Get your Kleenex ready. I hated for the story to end. Brittney you have outdone yourself on this one.

Constantine was worth the wait!

The perfect ending to the Costa family story. The family's protector gets his second chance in a big way. I fell in love with him at the end of chapter 1. The banter had me grinning ear to ear. The story brought the suspense that we love from Brittany. This might be my favorite MMC this year. Narration was amazing (especially that accent 😍) and there's something about hearing a man's voice crack with emotion that gets me all choked up. Overall, top 5 read of this year for me. Checked all the boxes.

The closeness between Constantine and Izzy.

I loved the sensitive side of Constantine. And how Collin was just like his Dad. Just wish there was more conversations with his uncles.

What a breathtaking story! Thank you, Brittney!

Can true love find their way to each other?
A large family is just what this Mom and
her son need.
