Sinopse: AMELIA

After four years of having everything that I’ve ever wanted, including the love of a man I never thought would look at me twice, I still have doubts sometimes.  I know Beckett loves me; he shows me every day.  Still, how long will it last?

Who will I be if the day comes when he no longer wants me?  What happens to the rest of our family if that day arrives?  Who will be responsible for everyone then?

A girl’s night out might help some of the stresses and worries fall away.  I should have known my husband, my own personal caveman, wasn’t going to simply let me out of his sight.  Not in the dress I’m wearing where other men can see me.

It’s a good thing he’s so sexy or I might find him infuriating.  Turns out, he knows exactly what I need, and it isn’t a girl’s night out.

BECKETT

My wife is a lot of things, including transparent when it comes to her thoughts and emotions.  I can read her as easily as I can love her fiercely.  I know she’s been battling her own inner demons, the ones which tell her not to get too comfortable and to prepare for the worst.

She forgets that I will slay her dragons because it wins me the heart of the only woman I want, the only woman who is mine.  She’s been stuck in her head lately while giving too much of herself to everyone else.  It’s my job to take care of her and I’m damn good at it.

A girl’s night out isn’t what she needs.  She needs a little time away from the kids, from the family, from all the things she thinks she is responsible for.  I’m not the only one crashing the party, but when I cart off my wife, we’re not going home.  I have plans for her which will get her to shut off her brain and kill her doubts.

It’s time she and I had a little heart-to-heart.  Being naked during it is only a bonus.

A minha opinião: Girl's Night Out é um epílogo do primeiro livro da série, que não li, pelo que não conheço o casal... Amelia e Beckett são casados e loucos um pelo outro, mas, recentemente, Amelia tem vindo a ter pensamentos intrusivos. Ela sabe que ele a ama, mas começa a pensar que não é suficientemente boa para Beckett e que ele vai acabar por se fartar dela e deixá-la.

Uma noite fora de casa com as amigas é mesmo do que ela precisa. Será? Beckett tem outros planos e é por isso que a "rapta" da sua noite fora. Só que não a leva para casa. Afinal, ele concorda que ela precisa de sair de casa e afastar-se dos filhos e das responsabilidades, mas para passar tempo a sós com ele. E pretende provar-lhe que os seus medos são infundados. Nem que demore toda a noite...

Com certeza teria gostado mais se tivesse lido o livro com o início da história deles, mas mesmo assim, foi uma leitura agradável.
