 A really great novella, set against the backdrop of a Luddite rebellion. The romance is very sweet and emotional- the MMC was the FMC’s brothers commanding officer in the army, and they struck up a correspondence via letter. He’s besotted, but there is a big class difference standing in their way (he’s the son of an Earl, she’s working class and a political agitator). I’ll definitely be looking out for more of this author’s books!
