--- When she wished upon a star, she never thought the universe would manifest him.
Ember has always worked hard to achieve her goals. Move to the city? Check. Start her own boutique? Check. Buy a Victorian house? Check. Find love?
Absolute failure, and it’s not for lack of trying.
So she does something she hasn’t tried yet—she makes a wish upon a star. It’s just a silly, hopeful gesture. What can it hurt?
With a literal bump in the night, Nyte appears. He’s ethereally gorgeous, with dark skin that glitters like the starry sky, wings formed of otherworldly shadow, and eyes that glow with all the beauty, depth, and mystery of the universe. The moment Ember sees him, she can’t help but think her wish has come true.
What does it matter that he’s not human? He’s her monster-loving fantasy brought to life.
The problem? He had his heart stolen by his freaking ex.
Thanks to the spell that inadvertently summoned him, she has a month to prove that she’s the one for him. That she’s worthy of his love.
But is his wounded heart able to give it? ----- Witches Love Monsters features short, fun romps from some of your favorite Regine Abel, Opal Reyne, Naomi Lucas, and Tiffany Roberts. Each book reads as a standalone.
Tiffany Roberts is the pseudonym for Tiffany and Robert, a husband and wife writing duo. The two have always shared a passion for reading and writing, and it was their dream to combine their mighty powers to create the sorts of books they want to read. They write character driven sci-fi and fantasy romance, creating happily-ever-afters for the alien and unknown.
Ember was such a ray of goth sunshine and was absolutely on board with climbing the monster fucking train right off the bat. Nyte was broody and grumpy. He informed most of his choices based on his past relationship trauma. Luckily he had someone like Ember to open him up to more. It was a fast burn romance, helped along by them being tethered to one another.
Spice: 4/5
Triggers: attempted SA, sexual harassment, violence, fatphobic remarks, toxic ex, mentions of eating a heart, pheromones/coercion (not by MCs), alcohol use, sex after alcohol use
4.2 stars. I think it’s very interesting that the villains in a lot of this duo’s writing are females with significant power in one way or another. You don’t see that a lot, but I can appreciate the fact that they offer a kind of diversity in that way. Makes things interesting, for sure. I really liked the dynamic between these two. Nyte was such a grumpy grouch, and Ember just found that absolutely adorable. I was definitely getting that ✨fairy in the cage that finds the goblin king cute✨(please tell me someone else has seen that clip lol)vibes during a lot of the beginning scenes, and I was totally digging it.
I did not like the mcs initial interaction. I found it pretty cringe. It was also hypocritical of Ember to act so lusty & without personal boundaries towards Nyte literally the same night she left a date because the guy was behaving the same way towards her, which she found offensive.
This collaborative series has closed on an absolute banger, courtesy of the lovely writing duo that is Tiffany Roberts! 260 pages was the perfect length for this story… short, but enough time to fall in love with these two characters. Grumpy x Sunshine, with a goth girl twist!
Ember was sunshine wrapped up in sexy goth dresses. She unwittenly wished upon a star and got wrapped up in some demonic shenanigans. I appreciated how she was so comfortable in her own skin, both as a semigoth chic and curvy lady. She had shit luck with men prior, but not as much trauma as her future love had. Nyte is enigmatic… he is broody and grumpy from the jump (with fair reasons having been burned in the past).
At his core, Nyte is conflicted by his love and attraction towards Ember. This is smutty and fast burn to sex, but medium burn to love. They are tethered to one another, so proximity blossoms to love in a month. I would say it is medium burn to love on the spectrum of this story not compared to others!
Adorable! Would recommend this book over all the others in the “series”... a great gateway into Tiffany Roberts if you haven’t pick them up already. 4 stars!
Dnf @ 12%. Some of TR books are great. Then others leave me scratching my head. Yet another overly desperate plus sized fmc. She just had a terrible date with a handsy dude that pissed her off, and then she manhandled the demon guy. The hypocrisy. Also, the dialogue was cringe instead of funny.
TR writes good monster/alien romance usually, but their romcoms are just… no.
Ugh this was so boring and should have been awesome. Also Tiffany Roberts can be really hit or miss for me. I suspect one of them is a great writer and one of them isn’t but no proof to back that up.
Not a lot happens in the book up to 35% mark when I quit. We are just hanging out at the FMC’s house and listening to their inner dialogue which isn’t even exciting.
Bummer I couldn’t finish this series in entirety, but when I started to dread picking this one back up you know it’s time to move on.
My favorite of this series! Highly recommend. Just Perfect! (to me. :)
Someone hurt this sweet baby, and it takes a beautiful human wishing upon a star to show him how true love can really be. One of my favorite parts was how curious and naïve he was to most human customs. Watching him try to understand everyday things added a cute humor and charm. And I must mention how stunning he is with stars on his skin and wings. And sweet Ember…she loves him through his grumps and uncertainty.
Nope. Im so bummed about this one. Not only was she annoyingly desperate, she also got super pissy when her date "touched" her and said she felt "sooo gross and violated" but than continued to constantly touch the demon.... without his consent. Wtf. Nope. Just nope.
This is a steamy paranormal monster romance. It is part of the multi-author series of standalones Witches Love Monsters.
FMC Ember comes home one night after a bad date and, on a whim, wishes on a star for a fated mate-style true love. She thinks nothing of it and goes to sleep. Of course, she wakes up with a grumpy night demon MMC, Nyte, whose friend played matchmaker and has spelled them to spend the next lunar cycle together.
I really enjoyed this book. It has a wonderful grumpy/sunshine dynamic with whimsy and enough slow burn to make it interesting, but not so much that it’s truly a slow burn. The FMC was a little more trusting than I would be of the surprise demon she’s stuck with, but it made for a great dynamic and ultimately, a fun, spicy read.
This book is probably my favorite in the series, but the whole series was great. I hope to see more collaborations like this from these authors in the future.
Spice 4/5 Plot: 4.5/5 Writing: 4.5/5 My Enjoyment: 4.5/5
The chemistry between our sunshine gothic witch and the night left nothing but joy and satisfaction. I adored Ember and Nyte. How she just want loved that is unwavering and unconditional despite her bad dating past while he wants the same too but can’t get out of his head to open his heart again.
I felt like this book was more on the emotionally open side compared to the other three, not saying they were bad in comparison, but it did take the two main characters to actually give into their desire for one another.
I loved how we got a detailed description of their past and the explanation of their characters in a way that progresses the story and really humanized all the written characters in to believable ones!
Also loved our main character for their mindfulness and understanding of consent 🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏
There is a good amount of smut in it as well as trigger warnings!
Smut level: 3/5 — more detailed scenes then actual amount of times
Trigger warnings: Attempted SA, sexual harassment, toxic ex, fat phobic remarks, mention of organ eating, coercion, alcohol consumption.
Sempre posso contar com a Tiffany e o Robert pra entregar um bom livro, não apenas em questão de hot e romance, mas em personagens secundários também. Starlight é a alma desse livro, divertidíssima, eu amei ela. Ember e Nyte funcionam bem como casal, e eu gostei bastante das interações deles, especialmente da determinação da Ember (uma garota que sabe o que quer é tudo). O eu te amo foi um pouco apressado pro meu gosto, mas entendo que isso é uma novella/conto e precisava ser rápido pra conseguir entregar o HEA.
PS: A primeira reação da Ember ao encontrar com o Nyte representa todas nós, leitoras de monster romance 🤣
Ember was positive gothy witch, who was so down for her wish that appeared in her bedroom - she was lonely, and yearned to find a love, that lasts, that is unconditional, love that provides trust and protection.
Nyte was the grumpy to the sunshine that Ember brought, he was secluded and kept himself safe from others due to his past, but seeing him fall? Even better.
With help from Ember and a little bit of help from Starling, Nyte finally opened up and realised what he had standing in front of him - someone just right for him, Ember.
Really Loved the story! I enjoyed how right from the start the FMC was game for a demon to appear and take the opportunity with both hands and live with joy! I love the writing of the book. It was a fun quick pace with raw emotions that had me feeling happy and sad! The passion between the main characters was so tender and hot that I love reading their love story. The genuine moments between them was so cute! I love how they spent time together and it was genuine love.
Overall a great installment to the series and love this one a lot!

4.5 ⭐️!! Absolutely loved this! It was so sweet, well written, the chemistry between them was 🔥🔥, loved them both as characters, and I loved the ending!! My first Tiffany Roberts book but absolutely not my last 👀
I am obsessed with these characters, they are both so stunning on the cover and the fanart is to die for! I love the flirty fmc and the grumpy stubborn mmc, they are kinda just perfect together the authors did a wonderful job writing their story! I love tiffany roberts books
This was fun. The spice was so close to perfect. If only the line, "I fucking crave you." coming from the centuries old demon was subtracted. lol Not a rational thought to be found between these characters, but sparkly jizz and ridges on shadow peens (yes plural) would rob me of logic too. 🤭 Loved it.
