I enjoyed this story, which I feel is aimed at YA as it very G rated. Patty is a pregnant teenager whose mother has just bought a large house with the aim to turning it into a Bed and Breakfast business so that they can earn a living after the death of her husband and Pattys father. They are going to need help to restore the house to its former glory and hire a builder to help. Richard was Mandy's first boyfriend and they have know each other for years, so he wants nothing but the best for her, so he gives the job to his daughter Therese.
Therese is a few years older than Patty, in fact they went to the same high school that Patty is about to graduate from in 55 days, along as the baby doesn't come early. There is a lot of drama with Pattys horrible ex boyfriend and being bullied at school but with the support of her mother, Therese and Richard she might just make it through her last days of school. This is a story of Patty discovering true love and her sexuality and one of second chances for their parents.
This is a slow burn romance with a few messages, ( I won't spoil the story) but it felt a little rushed at the end, a tad too neat. I would also question how well Patty recovered from giving birth and her interest in sex so soon. Having had two children, to me at least it was somewhat unrealistic. Having said that, it may well be the difference of our ages, clearly having a child when you are very young, you bounce back fairly quickly. That said, it's a sweet story, with wonderful characters.

Building Love Kindle Edition
Patty McNeal went on a self-destructive wild streak after her father died in a car accident. Now she’s pregnant and still has a year of high school left to get through.
Sandy McNeal struggles to deal with losing her husband and her daughter, Patty's wild streak, but she decides to pursue her dream of owning a bed and breakfast despite her challenges.
Theresa Garland loves working on her father’s construction job sites, so it was natural for her to follow in her father's footsteps and work at his company after college. When Richard gives her Sandy McNeal’s contract, she realizes that Sandy is Patty's mother, a girl she’d had a crush on in high school.
Richard Garland ensures he gets Sandy McNeal's bed and breakfast contract. He knows she suffers from losing her husband but hopes to reconnect with his former love.
Patty and Theresa become friends as the work on Sandy’s bed and breakfast takes off, while Sandy and Richard reconnect and rekindle their old flame.
As the two young women become friends, Patty begins to feel things for Theresa she doesn’t completely understand. Theresa’s crush on Patty grows into full-blown infatuation, but she fears the feelings Patty seems to be having for her may be due to hormones more than real attraction.
This rebuild will change four lives.

The characters were likable but the book was poorly written. The changes from past to present tense in every paragraph were frustrating. This would not stop me from reading more books by this author as I enjoyed this one.

What a lovely book to read. The emotions the author takes you through and the way she weaves the characters. A great book to read on a winter day

This is a very sweet love /coming out story!
Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2023Verified Purchase
M. E. Tudor has a wonderfully encouraging young love and coming out story with strong characters, good supporting characters and one truly evil young man. The story is a tough one in spots where a mother does not support nor even love her daughter, even pushes said daughter away with the trash and favors her momma’s boy son over her daughter and husband. The slime slips off of them both. The story is fraught with the anxiety the daughter carries as a result of this life long treatment. It is wonderfully written and heart warming.

Lets repair a house.

An interesting story of self discovery, hope and love. Party's mom was fixing her new house for a bed and breakfast at the same time, Patty was rebuilding her life.
Along comes Theresa, the hammer that nails drywall and help Patty rebuild her life..?
M.E. Their has changed her writing style, from Judge Not to this book there is a BIG difference. Kinda miss the old M.E. Tudor. However, her newer stories does not subtract any of her awesome talent of story telling.
An excellent read, recommended for all ages.

Sweet story

I really enjoyed the story, it was sweet and a bit different- I haven’t read a teenager pregnancy lesfic before.
There is quite a problem with the tense that the book is written it. Even within a sentence the tense switches between past and present. It really just needs a good editing sweep to get it all into the same tense.

I really liked the book and thought the love part of the storyline was great. I also know bullying is a very real thing but that part was troubling to have to read thru as an empath. This book had many facets and I can only imagine that the author had to keep close track of all the characters and everything they had going on from past to present. Very well done!
