--- 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 Freund, a husband and wife writing duo. Tiffany was born and bred in Idaho, and Robert was a native of New York City before moving across the country to be with her. 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.
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!
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.
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
Ember has checked off nearly every goal on her carefully built life list: move to the city, open her own boutique, buy a Victorian house. Love, however, stubbornly evades her. On a whim, she wishes upon a star… and accidentally summons Nyte, an ethereally gorgeous night demon with shadows and a broken heart. Bound by the magic that brought him there, Ember has one month to convince this cosmic, monster-shaped fantasy that she’s worthy of his love, assuming he’s capable of giving it again.
This was sexy, playful, and exactly as plot-focused as it needed to be without losing sight of the romance. Ember’s cheerful goth energy was an absolute delight, and I especially appreciated the quieter moments that gave her real emotional depth beneath the aesthetic. Nyte strikes a satisfying balance between grumpy and smoldering, and his curiosity about the modern human world added a layer of charm that kept him from feeling one-note. The pacing is tight. At 260 pages, it never drags, and the romantic tension is given room to breathe without overstaying its welcome.
If I had to nitpick, the writing can get a touch repetitive in intimate scenes, but honestly, there are only so many ways to phrase certain things before it becomes unintentionally awkward, so this didn’t detract from my enjoyment. This book knows exactly what it is and executes it exceptionally well. Fans of paranormal and monster romance will feel right at home here.
5/5 Demons with emotional baggage are still demons worth summoning.
As far as Ember knows, she's not a witch. Yet she managed (with a little help from a mischievous, sweet shooting star) to summon a demon who is grumpy, a little heartsore (to say the least), and incredibly sexy.
I might be understating things when I say Nyte is not thrilled to have been summoned. His trust was shattered by his last relationship and he has a hard time wrapping his head around the idea that Ember is not there to take from him. She's genuinely kind and does what she can to make their month together as painless as possible.
On Ember's end, Nyte is everything she'd wished for in a romantic partner. But since he's only with her thanks to the summoning, she tries to ignore his sexiness and treat him like a person. A person with wings and horns and the endless night beneath his skin, but a person all the same.
A little (okay, not so little) nudge from Nyte's found family, a nasty succubus who doesn't know when to quit, a couple of steamy kisses, a night demon who has to shake himself out of his despair, and a lady who wants a forever kind of love and might just have found the perfect male to share it with.
“I am the void, the vast, lightless emptiness between the stars, the cold embrace of a cosmos your mortal mind cannot fathom.” She smiles as she approached him. “But you’re covered in pretty little sparklies.” ✨
This was a lot of fun to read and definitely assisted in getting me out of my reading slump! While I thought some of the dialogue was a little cheesey, I loved the characters (mainly Nyte of course). I thought the concept was super fun and easy to jump into, as well.
“You brought me to see the stars,” Ember whispered. “And you shine brighter than all of them, Ember.” (*swoon)
Starling was such a unique character to me. Really felt like Tinkerbell - if Tinkerbell possessed sharp teeth, four limbs and a take-no-bullshit personality lol She was positively delightful!
“She wished for you, Nyte. Foolish as he felt to even think it, perhaps some part of him wished for Ember in return.”
I would definitely be interested in reading the other three books in this series, written by different authors, as sort of palate cleanser books. If they’re anything like this one - I’ll enjoy it!
As always, Tiffany Roberts knows exactly how to make a story impossible to put down. This was an absolute standout read; their writing remains incredible, magical, and deeply full of heart. I was completely swept up in Ember and Nyte’s journey; they are such a fantastic pairing.
One of the best things about this book (and their writing in general) is the emotional depth. The descriptions are so detailed that you feel like you can actually experience what the characters are feeling in real-time. Of course, the spice was amazing as always, but it’s that emotional connection that really anchors the story.
While I’m left wishing we could get even more of these two, the story felt perfectly wrapped up and lovely. It was such a fun, delightful read from start to finish. Perfect. 5 stars.
This one was amazing! A short read but all the feels packed inside. Nyte is a shadow daddy that just checks off all the right boxes: fangs, claws, prehensile tail, shadows that he can control... yes please! This one really had me kicking my feet. Nyte was so grumpy becasue of his past pain and Ember was so full of passion and positivity all for him. She had been hurt in the past too.. not to the degree that Nyte was but still, she was determined not to give up on love. The chemistry between them was next level! I kinda wish there was a sequel to this one. But maybe I should just read the other witches love demons books by the other authors. I highly recommend this one though!
This book had everything that I love. It was short and sweet (and very spicy).
✨The banter had me absolutely cracking up. I cant tell you how many times I cracked up in such a short amount of time. The MMC was just SO cranky at first. I loved it. And the FMC didn’t give a sh*t about how high and mighty he’d thought he was.
✨The flow of the story was basically perfect which is hard to do in a shorter story.
✨I appreciated the imagery and how beautifully written it was from the emotional aspects to visuals.
I wish authors would take a moment to reverse the gender roles and ask themselves if it’s appropriate behavior. The first chapter is about the FMC hating how men objectify, but after a strange man appears in her bedroom, all she does is objectify him for the next few days. She never offers to find a way to help him or make him feel comfortable.
We be appalled if a man had trapped a woman for a month and constantly harassed her with innuendos and stripteases. Why is it okay for the opposite?
Loved this spicy demonxhuman read🖤❤️ I saw Tiffany Robert’s had a new book and immediately added to my TBR and to find out it’s a series… AND A COLLAB with all the greats of monster lovin!
That was absolutely decadent. I loved every second of it. I don't think it was considered a slow burn. But it was the perfect amount of slow for me and the burn was drool worthy. I loved the end and thought it was perfect.
I think this is my favorite one of the collection! The growth and maturation of love was so nice to read. Also, as 32 yr old goth baddie, it was nice to see some rep 😌
