This writer truly, truly needs to do some sort of historical research before writing  an "historical" romance. I'm not asking for the meticulous research of "Gone With the Wind", "Forever Amber" or any other classic historical, BUT a debutante would never, EVER be allowed to attend balls, parties or a walk without a CHAPERONE. Seriously! A carriage ride would have called for at least a MAID to accompany an unmarried, well brought up young woman.  This was just ridiculous. Ms. DeGioia, please do a tiny bit of research of the social mores of the time period you're writing about. UGH! A long dress and a carriage do not a 'historical" novel make.
