  For Marks who are new to marriage
  若い２人の結婚指南の物語でした。物語の中盤では、夫の仕事を理解しない傲慢な妻ヒロインアンディが、夫ヒーローショーンを矯正する物語かと購入を悔やみかけていましたが、違いました。電撃的に結婚した２人だから、お互いの事をまるで分っていなかった。それだけでなく、若い という事が 結婚を むやみやたらに 甘いものとという前提でしか見ていない。とくにアンディ。分かりますよとても。大好きな人と、ＴＶの前でしか会う事の無かった憧れの男性が、自分の隣にいるという特別感に 酔うのは当たり前でしょうね。しかし、現実は甘くなかったわけです。私自身も若いとはお世辞にも言えない歳ですので 物語の前半部分は クスッと笑いながら 若いんだなぁ と思ってしまったほど。テストという名目で訪れた島だけれど、ショーンのとぼけた買物ぶりには、私にも思い当たる節が有りました(笑)けれど、屋根の仕事は男の仕事 という部分は個人的に 頂けません。男女にかかわらず、経験の無い事をするのは、怖いもの。特に屋根という部分は、傾斜もあり、傷んでいれば足場も無いわけです。落ちたショーンは運が良かっただけ。最悪の時には死さえ過ります。アンディの妹パムの お節介のおかげでよりを戻すのだけれど、私としてはそうだろうねという先読みが容易すぎて物足りなさが残った。ただ、すごく気になったのは、雨水をシャワーとして使うというのが とても受け入れられません。昨日今日降った雨水ならばいざ知らず、いつの雨水？バクテリアの温床では？と 見ているだけで痒くなる気がした。

  It was a story about a marriage guide for two young people. In the middle of the story, Andy, an arrogant wife heroine who doesn't understand her husband's work, regretted the purchase, thinking it was a story about correcting her husband, Hero Shawn, but that was different. The two got married in an electrifying manner, so they didn't know each other at all. Not only that, but I only look at marriage on the assumption that being young is unnecessarily sweet. Especially Andy. I understand, very much. It's natural for someone you love and the man you've admired, who you've only met in front of a TV, to be intoxicated by the special feeling that they are next to you. However, reality wasn't easy. I myself am an age where I can't even flatteringly say that I'm young, so much so that the first half of the story made me laugh and think I'm young. It's an island I visited in the name of a test, and Shawn's crazy shopping spree had something I could think of (laughs), but I personally can't get the part where roofing work is a man's job. Regardless of gender, doing something you have no experience with is scary. In particular, the part called the roof also has a slope, and if it is damaged, there is no scaffolding. Shawn just got lucky when he fell. At its worst, even death will pass. Thanks to Andy's younger sister Pam's support, I was able to get back to it even more, but it was too easy to look ahead, which was probably the case for me, and it was still unsatisfactory. However, what really bothered me was that using rainwater as a shower is very unacceptable. If it's rainwater that fell yesterday and today, then when was it the rainwater? Is it a hotbed of bacteria? I felt itchy just looking at it.

  斬新な
  novel
  スピード結婚したカップルが自分たちを見つめ直すため無人島に行く…ハーレクインにはあまりない様斬新な展開で新鮮でした。

  A couple who got married speed went to an uninhabited island to take a fresh look at themselves... it was a novel development that Harlequins don't often have, and it was refreshing.
