  過去からの誘惑者でした
  It was a seducer from the past
  冒頭から疑問が描かれている物語は、何がどうなって こうなっているかという答え探しの為に読みたくなってしまう。そもそもは、ヒロインの夫の不倫相手の夫ヒーローが（ややこしいが）何故かヒロインジェーンを探しているという情報がジェーンの耳に届いたことから始まっている。なぜヒーローゲイブが彼女を探したかは答えがあるが、なぜ直接彼女の実家を訪ねなかったのか？という答えが無い。事故死した２人には、双方に家庭が有るのだから、接触は有って然るべきでは？探すより 訪ねる若しくは、双方に弁護士が立てられているだろうからそこを通じてコンタクトをとるのが常識的説得力を持つ行動と思うのだけれど、もしそうしても 好意的な面会とは思われないだろうから、この奇怪なゲイブの行動がジェーンを不安（恐怖）にさせたという前提から始まる。読み終えたから分かる こじつけ設定は やっぱりかという感想しかないが、ゲイブは妻の不品行を責められない。彼自身 心は妻から別の女性に移っていたのだから。いわば、妻は事故死したからこれ幸いと行動したという事。ジェーンは天真爛漫可愛がられ愛されて育ったお嬢様の典型。だが、夫の裏切りによって失意の底に落とされ、自立するために甘えからの脱却はよくやったというところだろう。幸いなのは、彼女も両親もまだ若かったという事。不幸の連鎖は免れたのだから。少なくともジェーン夫妻、ゲイブ夫妻のなかで、愛情があったのはヒロイン唯１人なのだから 彼女の悲劇が中心なのは理解するところだけれど 彼女の物思いが諄くて飽きるから、本人に聞けばいいのにと禁句が頭を擡げて仕方ない。逃げ回るばかりでなく、甘えから脱却した大人の女性としての対処に工夫を見せて欲しかった。

  The story, in which questions are drawn from the beginning, makes me want to read it in order to search for answers to what happened and what happened. In the first place, it began when information reached Jane's ears that the heroine's husband's affair partner, the husband Hero, is looking for the heroine Jane for some reason. There is an answer as to why the hero Gabe looked for her, but why didn't he visit her parents' house in person? There is no answer. Since both of the two people who died in the accident have homes, shouldn't they have had contact? Visiting rather than searching, or since lawyers have been established for both parties, I think that getting in touch through them is an act with common sense persuasive power, but even if they do, it wouldn't be thought of as a favorable meeting, so it starts from the assumption that this bizarre behavior of Gabe made Jane uneasy (fearful). The only impression is that the far-fetched settings that you can understand once you've finished reading them are after all, but Gabe can't blame his wife for her misconduct. That's because his heart had moved from his wife to another woman. So to speak, my wife died in an accident, so to speak, so she acted fortunately. Jane is the epitome of an innocent young lady who grew up being loved and loved. However, she was dropped to the bottom of disappointment due to her husband's betrayal, and she probably did a good job breaking away from indulgence in order to become independent. Fortunately, both she and her parents were still young. That's because the chain of misfortune has been spared. At least of Mr. and Mrs. Jane and Mr. Gabe, the heroine was the only one who had love, so I understand that her tragedy is central, but since her memory is bad and I get bored, I can't help but shake my head with forbidden words that I wish I could ask the person herself. Not only did they run away, but I wanted them to show ingenuity in dealing with it as an adult woman who had broken away from indulgence.

  今度は幸せに
  Be happy this time
  This review contains spoilers. 伴侶が不倫相手と事故死、残されたやもめ同士のお話です。傷ついた過去のせいで、なかなか素直に話は進まないけど、お互いの気持ちはまっすぐでヒーローのひたむきさに好感が持てます。妻に浮気され続けて情は残っても愛は消えかけてたってことでしょうか…？妻の不倫相手の奥さんに一目惚れか…背景は複雑。二人が事故死しなければ、離婚して新しい夫婦二組が誕生してたのかな…？ヒロインは辛い過去に苛まれながらも、一生懸命に働いてて魅力的。ヒーローは元妻を最後まで悪く言わない辺り、お人好しというか…優しい人ですね。そういう描写はないけど、結婚生活辛かったんだろうな…。ときめくというよりは再生のお話。良い話ですが、私は購入せずレンタルでいいかな。

  This review contains spoilers. This is a story about a widow whose partner died in an accident and was left behind with an affair partner. Because of the hurt past, it's not easy to progress honestly, but their feelings for each other are straight forward, and I like the heroes' single-mindedness. Does that mean my wife kept cheating on me and my love was about to disappear even though my feelings remained...? I fell in love with the wife of my wife's affair partner at first sight... the background is complicated. If the two hadn't died in an accident, I wonder if they got divorced and two new couples were born...? The heroine is charming because she works hard even though she is tormented by a difficult past. The hero is a kind person who doesn't say bad things about his ex-wife until the end, and is kind. There's no depiction like that, but the marriage must have been difficult... It's more of a story of rebirth than excitement. That's a good story, but I wonder if I can rent one instead of buying one.
