  ヒーローがどんどん惹かれる描写が良い
  The depiction of the hero getting more and more attracted is good
  頭の固い冷酷仕事人間のヒーローが、ヒロインの溢れる想いやりと笑顔と根性にほだされ心溶かされてく王道ストーリー。毎度ヒロインの行動や様子に心を揺らすヒーローが丁寧に描かれていて、二人の心が近づくさまをじっくり楽しめる。三人の義母も良い役回り。彼女が処女だと分かった時点で誤解に気づかなかった点は疑問だが、すれ違いも良い塩梅だし、感情移入しやすいので、惹かれる過程をしっかり読みたい人も楽しめるかと。

  A classic story where the hero, a hard-headed, ruthless worker, is relieved by the heroine's overflowing compassion, smiles, and guts, and melts his heart. The hero who shakes your heart every time by the heroine's actions and appearance is carefully drawn, and you can thoroughly enjoy how their hearts get closer. The three mothers-in-law also played a good role. The fact that I didn't notice the misunderstanding when I found out she was a virgin is questionable, but it's Shioume that easily crosses each other, and it's easy to empathize, so I wonder if people who want to read the process of being attracted thoroughly can enjoy it.

  こういうの、大好きです！
  I love this kind of thing!
  典型的な ハーレクイン バージョンのシンデレラストーリーでした。最初っから ハピエンがわかっているから 読みやすいのが、ハーレクインの良いところで、特に この作品は もう 最初から ストーリーがどうなっていくのかも想像できたので とっても リラックスして読めました。（そして、楽しめました。）

  It was the quintessential Harlequin version of the Cinderella story. The good thing about Harlequin is that it's easy to read since I knew Happien from the beginning, and in particular, I was able to imagine how the story would unfold from the beginning, so I was able to read it very relaxed. (And I enjoyed it.)

  療養の介護をするはずが
  I'm supposed to do recuperative nursing
  気難し屋で指示以外のことはするなと高圧的。おまけにセクハラ行為。ヒロインの意思表示ないままに使用人に強引にキスをするのは、お話がロマンスだからと言い訳出来ない。また、お義母様達が「問題を起こして」繋がろうとする方法がちょっと子どもじみている、と思ってしまう。それと、ウサギ登場は可愛くていいのだが、それにまつわること(拾って、そして預けて)がストーリーにはアクセントになっていると思われるのに、遂に直接その件を話すことはなかったままなのが、読んでいる私をなんとなく落ち着かせない。誤解の遠因なのに、人から説明された体で済んでしまうのが、「秘密」の扱われ方として座りが悪いように感じるのだ。人を信じられない、とのキャラ設定のバーロウ、明確に信じるようになるプロセスが前面に出ないで、部下に委ねるところは委ねられるようになる変化でしか表されない。年齢差が分からないが、感覚20歳は離れてる二人に思えてしまう。ヒロインが見た目も言動も危なっかしく、どこか幼ない印象。淡い恋心は伝わったが、そこから先の感情にステージが上がった、とまで私には解らず、描写不足感あり。彼のセクハラ行為もなんとなく水に流されているのが、私には読んでいて彼のキャラにミソを付けてしまったと思える。ヒロインが、このような就労環境に飛び込んでいるのも、そんなことがありながらも雇用関係にヒビが入らないのも、いずれも、起こるべくして起こったとまではとらえられない。お迎えシーンの演出も「自信が無かった」人がこれ？ なにか、いろいろと、ウーム、なのだった。別荘の被災を心配してヘリ飛ばすもお金は自分たちでもつ、という皆さんの「自立心」も、どうも中途半端に見えて仕方がない。横恋慕自覚で寝取る彼と、誤解放置のヒロインの別離と修復とが、探偵物の金田一耕助のように後から滔々と説明されるだけでなく、視覚要素の伏線的挿入もっと欲しかった。

  They are fickle and pressured not to do anything other than give instructions. What's more, sexual harassment. Forcibly kissing a servant without the heroine expressing her intentions is an excuse because the story is a romance. Also, it makes me think that the method for mothers-in-law to “cause problems” and try to connect is a bit childish. Also, it's nice that rabbits appear to be cute, but the fact that things related to them (pick them up and deposit) seem to accent the story, yet they finally don't directly talk about it, which somehow calms me as I read it. Even though it is a remote cause of misunderstanding, I feel that sitting is bad as a way to be treated as a “secret.” Barlow, whose character is set up as being unbelievable, does not come to the fore, and the process of clearly believing people does not come to the fore, and the place where entrusts to subordinates is expressed only by changes where they can be delegated. I don't know the age difference, but it feels like they are two people who are 20 years apart. The heroine looks and acts dangerously, giving the impression that she is somewhat childish. The pale love was conveyed, but I didn't understand that the stage went up to the emotions from there on, and there was a sense of lack of depiction. His sexual harassment was also somehow washed away in the water, and it seems to me that I misunderstood his character while reading it. The fact that the heroine has jumped into such an employment environment and that there is no crack in the employment relationship even though such a thing happened cannot be taken as if it were to happen. Is this the person who “didn't have confidence” in directing the pick-up scene? Something, a lot of things, wow. Everyone's “sense of independence,” who worried about damage to the villa and flew a helicopter but had their own money, seemed so half-hearted that it was unavoidable. Not only was the separation and restoration of him, who falls asleep due to Yokokoi Mukaku, and the heroine in Miserable Liberation Room being explained in a blatant manner later, like Kindaichi Kosuke in detective stories, but I wanted more foreshadowing of visual elements.
