Summary: After the miserly but wealthy Mr. Anthony North passes at a young age, his female cousin assumes his identity to procure his fortune and keep her family out of the poor house. In her new identity she makes new friends, but finds herself falling in love with a man that believes her to be his best male companion.

This book needs an additional category of humor. It is at times laugh-out-loud funny. In order to convince people of her male identity without giving herself away, Millicent acts the fool on purpose. That way, people will ignore whatever social blunders she makes. This lends itself to an interesting and funny tale of the implausible situation. The characters are lovable and well-developed and this book was refreshing for the historical romance category. How often do you read historical romantic comedies?
