Almost a Scandal, Elizabeth Essex

I LOVED THIS BOOK. Our heroine is from a family of sailors, and when her brother fails to go to sea she dresses up like him and goes in his place. Then she falls for a sailor, who -- get this -- also loves her! (He figures out almost immediately who she is, so there isn't too much Mulan to it.) What's GREAT is that she is the BEST and BRAVEST and SMARTEST sailor! She's so competent she keeps getting promoted, and everyone basically agrees she's amazing, except the villain, who she first confronts, and then ends up helping, because she is wonnnnnnnnderful. I loved her, I loved the romance, I loved how serious and competent everyone was.
