  必要悪との闘い
  Fighting Necessary Evil
  ひたすらに正義感で世界的遺物の保護研究に努めるイゾベル。少々頭が固い女性だが、略奪者かもしれないと疑った男アレッサンドロは公爵だったと、知った時には一目ぼれしていた。しかし私は、遺物に係わることで知る闇の現状と、アレッサンドロへの愛情とに引き裂かれ思い悩むイゾベルの気持ちに理解しつつも青臭さを感じる。ああイゾベルは若いのだなと。私もたいがい希望という物からは遠く身を置いてしまっていると残念に思う。アレッサンドロもイゾベル同様一目惚れ。イゾベルに理解しつつも自分の行動をも理解してもらいたくてイゾベルを連れまわすが、なかなか上手く運ばない。そんなやり取りがとてもよく伝わりドキドキします。公爵という立場に甘んじることなく過酷な現状に挑んでいくその様は、生活に追われることのない彼だからこそできる事であり、そんなアレッサンドロに惹かれるイゾベルに共感もできる物語でした。

  Isobel earnestly strives to protect and research world relics with a sense of justice. She's a slightly stubborn woman, but I fell in love at first sight when I learned that Alessandro, the man she suspected might be a marauder, was a duke. However, even though I understand the current state of darkness that I know from being involved in relics, and the feelings of Isobelle, who is torn and worried by her love for Alessandro, I feel a pale smell. Oh, I think Isobelle is young. I also feel sorry that I have usually put myself far away from what I call hope. Like Isobelle, Alessandro fell in love at first sight. I take Isobelle along because I want her to understand her own actions while understanding her, but it doesn't go very well. That kind of exchange was conveyed so well and it's exciting. It was a story where I could sympathize with Isobelle, who is attracted to Alessandro, and it was a story where I could relate to Isobelle, who is attracted to Alessandro, who is so attracted to him.

  大好きな作者さん。
  My favorite author.
  This review contains spoilers. 湊よりこさんのハーレクインの作品は、おそらく全部、読みました。ヒーローがいつも本当に素敵！！個人的には良かったなと思うけれど、神殿でのデジャヴをもう少し詳しく知りたかったので、星4つ。

  This review contains spoilers. I've probably read all of Minato Yoriko's Harlequin works. Heroes are always really nice!! Personally, I think it was great, but I wanted to know about déjà vu at the temple in a little more detail, so 4 stars.
