Under The Bridge Book Review

Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas simula noong maghiwalay sina Eloise at Cassian dahil matinding awayan ng kanilang mga pamilya. Napagtanto ni Cassian na mahal niya pa rin si Eloise kahit ilang taon pa ang nakalipas, nagsisi siya kung bakit iniwan niya ang babaeng pinakamamahal at sinisi sa kasalanang hindi naman siya ang may gawa. Muli siyang bumalik sa Pilipinas at desididong hanapin si Eloise. Nais niyang makabawi sa lahat ng sakit na idinulot niya rito at sa pag-asang tatanggapin siyang muli nito at ipagpatuloy ang naudlot nilang relasyon. Ngunit nalaman niyang nalubog na sa utang ang pamilya ni Eloise. Nakita itong oportunidad ni Cassian upang muling kumonekta sa dalaga. Inalok niya ito ng kasal kapalit ng pagtulong niya sa pagbayad ng utang ng kaniyang pamilya. Kahit na mayroong pag-aalinlangan sa dibdib ni Eloise ay tinanggap niya ang kasunduan at naging tulay ito upang ipagpatuloy nilang muli ang nagwakas nilang pag-ibig. Sa kabilang banda naman ay ang kanilang kasiyahan ay panandalian lamang nang malaman ni Carsen, nakababatang kapatid ni Cassian ang muling pakikipag ugnayan sa pamilya ni Eloise, na sanhi ng pagkamatay ng kanilang ina. Dulot ng matinding galit ay handang gawin ni Carsen ang lahat upang maputol ang namumuong ugnayan ng dalawa. Gagawin niya ang lahat upang mawala sa paningin nila si Eloise kahit pa ang tanging paraan lang ay kamatayan. Ang matinding pagkamuhi ba ng kanilang pamilya sa isa't isa ang magiging rason sa tuluyang paghihiwalay ng dalawa? O sapat ba ang kanilang pag-ibig upang puksain ang namumutawing poot na bumabalot sa kanila?

Thorne Langley wakes up with no memory—nothing but sharp pain and the hollow feeling of a past that's gone. The only thing he knows for sure is that a mafia named Garrett Cullen is claiming they once shared a life together. Thorne doesn't remember their relationship, the dangerous world they were part of, or the enemies that now threaten them both. Garrett insists their bond was real-deep, powerful, and undeniable. But as old memories start to resurface, so does the truth. Thorne begins to question everything: his feelings for Garrett, the life they shared, and whether the love they once had can survive the web of lies, betrayals, and secrets still lurking beneath the surface. Living in a world where trust is fragile and one breath away from betrayal, Thorne has to face an inner emotional battle between love and doubt. Can he fight for the truth without losing himself in the process? Or will the cost of remembering everything be too much to bear?
