Feel good Regency

Good romance. Super-nice protagonists, a significant backdrop of period history (Luddite Rebellion), and complications between the hero & heroine that is resolved in a totally feel-good manner. The overall relationship between Joanna & Ned here reminded me of Nana & Oliver Worthy in Carla Kelly's "Marrying the Captain" and I enjoyed that one thoroughly as well.
