  ラブストーリ―と言うより
  More than a love story
  ミステリー要素の方が強い作品な気がします。予想外だったのが公爵の元奥の相手が女性だったこと。奥が深い作品です。でも、ベアトリクスの純粋さ健気さはやはりラブストーリ―であり大好きなハーレクインならではですね。公爵さまの凍った心を溶かしてハッピーエンド…はやはり王道です。素敵なラブミステリーです。

  I feel like the work has a stronger mystery element. What was unexpected was that the Duke's former wife's partner was a woman. It's a profound work. But Beatrix's purity and healthiness is still a love story, and it's unique to my favorite Harlequin. Melting the Duke's frozen heart and having a happy ending... is still a royal road. It's a wonderful love mystery.

  貴族もの好きな方に
  For those who like aristocrats
  緒方先生の描く貴族もの大好きです！今回も良かった。。うっとり。レンタルで3回目のなってしまったのでもう買いました。最初から買っておけばよかった

  I love the aristocrats drawn by Ogata sensei! This time was good too.. I'm fascinated. It's been my 3rd time renting, so I've already bought one. Should have bought it from the beginning

  意表を突いたところのある話
  A story that came as a surprise
  尾形先生は、貴族の男性が、プライドと恋情との間に揺れる姿を描くと、その焦れがストーリーの純度を上げてくれる。自己肯定できない公爵様、ヒロインの寄せる想いを、まさか私なんかにそんなはずは、と。自信たっぷり男性がひしめき合うHQ世界には稀有なキャラ！この、どこが、「尊大な公爵」なのだろう？それとも、視点が違うところから付いた？邦題は、亡き妻の世迷い言？ヒロインの気持ちを公爵がやっと、本当に僕なの？的な、控えめな確かめたい気分ピークのときの、チャチャ入るシーン、あれ、やり直しのシチュエーションをちゃんと見せつけて欲しいと思った。意外な話の転がりかたがなかなか存在感を主張したが、このストーリー、悪人扱いされているお尋ね人である「大物スパイ」にもドラマがありそうだ。亡き妻と「ジェイコブ」とのアナザーストーリー、本作のヒロインは命を狙われているので、ブラックな側面故に日の目など見ないだろうが。それにしても昨今の潮流なのか知らないが、近頃見た話題作の映画でもその傾向が入って驚いていたら、なんとHQまでも、お前もなのか、という思いだった。

  When Ogata sensei depicts an aristocrat man swaying between pride and romance, his impatience enhances the purity of the story. The Duke, who can't affirm herself, and the heroine must have had such feelings for me. A rare character in the HQ world where confident men are crowded with each other! What part of this is the “pompous duke”? Or did it come from a different point of view? Is the Japanese title a deceased wife's worldly statement? Is the duke really me at last the heroine's feelings? I wanted them to properly show me the cha-cha scene at the peak of the mood I wanted to confirm, well, that situation of starting over. The surprising way the story unfolded asserted quite a strong presence, but it seems that there will also be a drama in this story, “The Big Spy,” who is the questioner who is treated as a villain. Another story between his late wife and “Jacob,” the heroine of this work is aiming for her life, so she probably won't see the light of day because of her black side. Even so, I don't know if it's a recent trend, but if I was surprised to see that trend in popular movies I've watched recently, I was wondering if even HQ is you.
