Evelyn Embers | Monster Romance 😈

🥂 There’s a specific kind of peace in a book with "No Third Act Breakup." It’s the literary equivalent of a deep exhale. Why did we ever decide that characters need to be miserable at 80% to make a story good? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

🌿 Audrey is a botanist who fell through a portal and ended up with a demon. If you fell into another realm today, based on your current outfit, would you survive or become a demon's "little one" immediately? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

🌀 I’m writing about a world where humans are "lesser," which makes Rylik’s devotion even more unhinged. Is the "Species-Gap" romance more satisfying because of the inherent drama? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

🥘 If you could trade places with a botanist in a demon cave right now, would you? No internet, no taxes, just a 7ft demon who thinks you're a work of art. Sounds like a win to me. 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

🧬 Does anyone else read monster romance specifically for the "Biology Lesson" scenes? I need to know exactly how those ridges and that tail work. For science. 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

💀 Philosophical question: If a demon has lived in isolation for a century, does he even have "red flags," or is he just a blank slate for the FMC to ruin? Rylik is remarkably well-adjusted for a hermit. 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

"Awakening the Demon" ARC Interest Hi Readers! If you are interested in ARC reading for Awakening the Demon, please fill out this form! Please note that filling out this form does not guarantee that you'll receive an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC). After the ARC application window closes you'll receive an email from me with next steps. I will be using Story Origin to handle the file transfer. Awakening the Demon is a full length novel, ~400 pages, set in the same universe as my previous series Monsters of Coldwater Springs and The Crescent Coven. You do not need to have read any previous books to jump right into this series. There is no financial compensation for being an ARC reader You agree to post an honest review on of Awakening the Demon when it releases on Fri, April 24th (or soon after) You agree to post a review on Amazon primarily, and Goodreads as a secondary. I'd love for you to post anywhere that you like to leave reviews, but because this book will be enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, Amazon is the most important review. TRIGGER WARNING: While my books are generally cozy and low-angst, there are some triggers that I'd like to post for you, so you can make an informed decision! Spicy Themes: On page sex is plentiful and descriptive. There are elements of voyeurism (he likes to watch), bit of a breeding kink (likes to finish inside, but there will be no pregnancy, discussion of pregnancy, or possibility of pregnancy) and there is distinct monster anatomy (ribbed for her pleasure, and mild tail play!) Dehumanization & Xenophobia: The demon society views humans as less than, and often use species-based slurs, or refers to her as an “it.” Mild Violence/Injuries: Very mild to keep to those cozy vibes, but there is a brief scene where an antagonist attempts to drag our heroine away, and there is on page descriptions of injuries/blood, and mild scenes of our heroine being jailed/held captive. I’m making it sound darker than it is, but still wanted to give a heads up! Past Trauma: brief descriptions of bullying for our hero, and the (not on page) death of parents for our heroine.

📑 We’re heading into ARC call territory soon. I’m looking for readers who aren't afraid of tail play and deep emotional pining. What’s the one trope that makes you hit "Apply" for an ARC immediately? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

📏 The "Size Difference" in Awakening the Demon is... significant. 7ft demon vs 5'3 botanist. Is there such a thing as "too big" in monster romance, or is that just a challenge for the imagination? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

🥵 Let’s talk about the "Pleasure Dom" archetype. A monster who is physically overwhelming but uses that power specifically to ensure the FMC's satisfaction first. Do you think this is rare to find in romance books? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

🌿 Audrey is a botanist, which means she’s literally trained to study "stems" and "specimens." Falling for a demon is just field research, right? What’s the weirdest thing your job has accidentally prepared you for? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

Fantasy monster romance book cover for Awakening the Demon, book 1 by Evelyn Embers. A woman with long brown hair and a flowing white tunic sits intimately with a large, muscular red demon with black horns and wings against a lush, sunlit green forest background. Next to the book cover are the tropes for the book: portal fantasy, mid-30s FMC, forced proximity, he falls first, touch her and die, cozy plus four chili peppers. Underneath the image it says releasing April 24th. Above the image it says books.evelyn embers.com/awakening

😈🦇 There's something so healing about a hero who thinks he's a beast, but the second the FMC is injured, he turns into a high-tier medic and personal chef. Who else is a sucker for the "Who did this to you?" trope? 💙📚⏰ 🪐📚 🌶️📚

"Awakening the Demon" drops 4-24-26!
