The Stand Review Book

Matapos ang limang taong pagmamahal kay Liam, nadiskubre ni Ava ang pinakamalupit na pagtataksil—ang pakikipagrelasyon ng kanyang nobyo sa best friend nito. Wasak at pinahiya, pinili niyang magsimula muli. Sa gitna ng sakit, nagpakalunod siya sa alak at nauwi sa isang gabing puno ng init at paglimot kasama ang isang estrangherong ubod ng kisig. Kinaumagahan, iniwan niya ito, naniniwalang isa lamang iyong pagkakamali na dapat kalimutan, gaya ng kanyang nakaraan. Ngunit tila naglaro ang tadhana. Sa unang araw niya sa opisina, handa nang bumangon at magsimula, nagulat siya nang makita kung sino ang bago niyang CEO—si Kaiden, ang lalaking nakasama niya sa gabing iyon. Siya ay makapangyarihan, malamig, at bawal na bawal na mahalin. Ngunit hindi rin malimutan ni Kaiden ang babaeng minsan lang niyang nakasama. Determinado siyang hindi iyon manatiling isang alaala lang, at ngayon ay nais niya ng higit pa. Habang magkasama silang nagtatrabaho, nagiging mapanganib ang laro ng tukso at pagnanasa. Bawat sulyap, bawat lihim na damdamin ay nagbabantang mabunyag ang katotohanang pilit itinatago ni Ava. Sapagkat higit pa sa gabing iyon ang kanyang lihim, nasa sinapupunan na niya ang bunga ng kanilang kapusukan. Nahaharap siya ngayon sa pagpili: patuloy bang tatakasan ang nakaraan, o haharapin ang isang hinaharap na maaaring magpabagsak sa kanya… o kaya’y magliligtas.
