Review: Out of the Shadows by Christina Sol

Author: Christina Sol

Publication Date: March 2025

He's the founder of Hudson Security.
Intense, smoking hot, and former special forces.
He's also her boss and long-time friend, but when danger explodes around them, they're drawn together by a passion neither can deny.
 
Sabrina "Bean" Ventura is one of the most skilled hackers in the world. She's the unseen force behind Hudson Security, unraveling secrets from the safety of the shadows. With a lifetime of solitude and a hardened heart, she's learned to keep her distance--no relationships, no attachments. She has one job and one job only: find the intel and take down the bad guys. However, when one of their own is threatened, everything changes.
 
Gavin Frazier is a man with one primary focus: protecting those under his care. As the head of Hudson Security, he's ruthless in his pursuit of safety for his clients and employees. There's no time for distractions. But when Bean is injured, his protective instincts flame to life in ways he never expected. She's more than his employee and trusted friend, she's everything he can't seem to resist.
 
As the danger around them escalates, Gavin's desire to protect Bean grows--as does the undeniable chemistry between them. While they race against time to stop an unknown enemy, they must trust each other like never before or risk losing everything--including their chance at love.

My thoughts:

Out of the Shadows is a new series surrounding Hudson Security.  It's an off-shoot of the Hudson Island series.  We are introduced to more members of the company and get to know ones that showed up in the previous series a bit better.  This one focuses on Gavin and Sabrina or "Bean" as she is known to everyone.  

I really enjoyed this one.  It felt like visiting old friends. I am a huge fan of the Hudson Island series.  I know this new series will be just as good.  The mystery was really good with a lot of action.  But more than that, I loved how the relationship between Gavin and Bean developed.  I loved how unsure and awkward they both were.  It was adorable.  Having been friends and colleagues for years, it just made  their love story that much better.  I don't want to give anything away, so I will highly recommend you read it.
