You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO is from Amanda, who wants to track down this romance:
Okay, so I read this maybe 15 or 20 years ago. Lately it’s been in my head, but strangely enough a google search has not yielded results!
It’s a supernatural romance series. The main character is maybe a witch of some kind. And she solves problems; maybe like an investigator? I think it must be semi-post apocalyptic because tomatoes are bad and they somehow caused the apocalypse.
There’s a recurring pixie character who is really happy the heroine lets him have her backyard because most people don’t like pixies. The heroine is maybe a demon? But doesn’t find out until the end. The main male character is fae and he’s an ass for most of the series. I think his name starts with T? There’s some big secret about…fertility?
Oh, man this is so terrible. I will be legit impressed if anyone can figure it out. Hopefully I’m not merging more than one story together.
Sound familiar to anyone?

I think it’s Kim Harrison series about Rachel Morgan. The tomatoes check out.
It is the Kim Harrison Hollows Series. The first book is “Dead Witch Walking”. There are now 18 books in the series.
Tomatoes? Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series, beginning with DEAD WITCH WALKING.
Three in a row all saying the same thing? Could this be solved? We’ll have to ask the querent.
But, since it’s likely: WOO HOO! Y’all are quick, too!
Add my vote to the three above.
Yep. Hollows series by Kim Harrison. Dead Witch Walking is #1, and most titles are variants on old Western movies, e.g.: The Good, the Bad, and the Undead; Every Which Way But Dead; A Fistfull of Charms…
Definitely The Hollows. . . and now I’m contemplating a reread.
I LOVE this series. Rachel and Kisten are a hot couple!

Rachel and Kisten made me cry so hard.
It’s Kim Harrison’s Hollows series and Rachel is a witch
Yesssssss! Thank you so much. That’s exactly it. Seriously impressed. You’re all the best. —Amanda
Am I so impressed with all of you who popped right up with that. The Bitchery’s knowledge reserves are second to none.
I was so excited to know this one! Add another vote for the The Hollows series
I am of course thrilled that the book is found, but am I the only one slightly disappointed that there is only one contender for Tomatoes Caused the Apocalypse? I love it when no matter how bizarre the scenario there are a multiplicity of books that fit…
To everyone who is a Hollows fan in these comments: Kim Harrison started publishing Hollows books again a few years ago and they’ve so far been excellent. I’ve loved some of them as much as the favorites in the original series. HIGHLY recommend.
@kkw it’s not a romance but the audio drama series Temporal does, with some squinting, feature tomatoes causing the apocalypse.
I’ve not read this series, and didn’t recognize the title. But I remember the cover, back when PNR/UF heroines were all leather or vinyl pants and bare skin with metal accessories. Glad to see it hasn’t been cartoonized.
