La decisión de Becca (El diván de Becca #Volumen 3)
by Lena ValentiEl esperado desenlace de «El diván de Becca», la trilogía más adictiva, divertida y de alto voltaje de Lena Valenti. Becca, una psicóloga mediática que sigue métodos poco ortodoxos, y Axel, su guapísimo pero inescrutable cámara, viven intensa y apasionadamente algo que es cualquier cosa menos una historia de amor convencional. El diván de Becca ha sido un éxito en televisión. Lo que no va tan bien es la relación de idas y venidas entre Becca y Axel, un cañón, un dios del Olimpo, pero borde y perdonavidas, que la vuelve literalmente loca, sobre todo cuando le deja ver su verdadera cara: un hombre protector, cálido y con un gran corazón. Pero ¿qué le sucedió a Axel en su pasado para comportarse de esa forma tan desagradable con ella? Además de este misterio, se le suma la noticia bomba de Carla y Eli y la propuesta de los productores americanos para comprar los derechos del diván y llevar su caravana por Estados Unidos. Becca afrontará los acontecimientos con optimismo, y lo dará todo por sus pacientes y por Axel, aunque la situación se vuelva insostenible y el peligro que la acecha no solo amenace su vida, sino el futuro de su historia de amor. Pero la empática Becca también tiene sus problemas... y quizá deba ser ella quién se siente en el diván de una vez por todas y empiece a tratar sus propias fobias para encarar su decisión más importante. La elección definitiva. Las lectoras opinan:«¿Que no existe la píldora de la felicidad? Entonces es que no has leído El diván de Becca.» «Mis amores platónicos de la historia: Leónidas y Axel. Porque Axel va a pasar a la historia, obvio.» «El diván de Becca es definitivamente la prueba de que se pueden contar historias de amor dando un giro de tuerca al género. Refrescante, inteligente y repleta de amor y sensualidad.» No molestar. Estoy en terapia con Becca.
