Renovation Romance Books to Fix Up Your Mood

I’ve always had a soft spot for renovation or construction romances. Maybe because it evokes my fantasies of having my own small home someday, maybe because the symbolism of making something beautiful from the ruins of something else appeals to my underdog-loving sensibilities.

(Even though these stories only encourage my daydreams of winning the lottery so I can purchase my own old house.) The books I gathered here all hit that sweet spot, from two men getting past the pesky issue of one destroying the other’s roof, to a cowboy-hating man and a cowboy-loving woman finding common ground over a house that’s, quite literally, falling apart.
