Love's Infestation books in chronological order
Series background & context
Love's Infestation is Sophie Dawson's contemporary Christian-romance trilogy. The title is playful, and each book gives a different everyday nuisance an unexpected role in bringing two people together. Mold, Dalmatian puppies, and mice may not sound romantic, but they create the kind of messy situations that force guarded people to accept help.
The first book, Mold and Marriage, follows Kyria after an explosion leaves her injured and alone. Dr. Mark first meets her while treating her in the hospital, and his concern does not disappear when she is discharged. Their relationship has to move carefully because Kyria is recovering physically and emotionally, while Mark has to respect the line between care and romance. A housing problem involving mold adds one more complication.
These are romances with real-life clutter.
Spots Before Marriage shifts the focus to Whitney and Dr. Keith Austin. Whitney runs a small construction business and suddenly has far more responsibility than expected when her brother's two Dalmatians produce fourteen puppies. Keith is drawn into the chaos when the dogs interrupt his lunch in the park. Their story is about self-reliance, overwork, and the difficult choice to let another person share the load.
In Mice and Marriage, divorced mother Noelle Copeland is trying to protect both herself and her two sons from another disappointment. Turner Metcalf comes to her rescue after a mouse causes a memorable panic, but he is in town for reasons he cannot fully explain. His hidden assignment, her worries about trust, and the presence of Noelle's former husband give the romance a bit of suspense.
The books are linked by tone and themes rather than one large ongoing plot. Each has a new couple and a fresh problem, so readers can enjoy an individual story, but reading in order makes the recurring approach to love and healing clearer.
Expect clean, warm romances with faith in the background, some gentle humor, and characters who have to stop handling everything alone. Start with Mold and Marriage to follow the intended order, then continue with Spots Before Marriage and Mice and Marriage.
