Title: Why didn't she research this better?
Product review: I just read the first chapter and really could like this book. The hero is engaging, the set up is intriguing, and the younger brother's rage rings true.Then I spotted no fewer than three separate, blatant, egregious errors, one of them on the *first page*, that could have been avoided by ten minutes' research in a costume book. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy, and it really makes me wonder just what else the author didn't take the time to get right.I may finish this, but really, why? If the author doesn't care enough to know that a respectable woman in this time period NEVER went out in public bareheaded...or that decoration on gowns in that time period was detachable trim...or that the heroine could not possibly tuck her earnings into her bodice *because women's clothing didn't HAVE bodices until almost two hundred years later*...then why should I care enough to finish the book?Very, very disappointing.
