Thank you so much P.S. Scott for sending me this ARC!
Synopsis:
Powerful, ruthless, and cold, King Delton learned not to trust women early in life. The only woman he loved betrayed him and killed his parents. To exact revenge, Delton marries Princess Xara and cruelly exiles her, vowing never to fall in love. But thanks to a political issue, she’s back in his life, stirring up all the emotions that he’s tried so hard to suppress. And this time, the stakes are a lot higher.
As their silent showdown begins, Delton and Xara realize that an uncontrollable passion simmers beneath all the bitterness. A passion that threatens everything they’re fighting for. Delton is determined to hold onto his land, and Xara to her convictions, even if it means giving up on what they have. But to claim love—the ultimate victory—they must defeat the demons of the past and rise from the ashes.
Review & thoughts:
The King’s Bride is a Fantasy Romance book with a second chance enemies to lovers romance and an arranged marriage between a demon king and a human princess that I loved! It’s the third book in the Scions of the Underworld series, but can be read as a standalone (I haven’t read the two previous books and still enjoyed this one a lot).
After marrying Xara to get revenge on her father, Delton exiled his new wife and spent almost a century away from her. But now, Delton needs to find the biggest criminal in his kingdom and he thinks Xara might be able to help him… But what he doesn’t know is that the wife he thought useless is actually the criminal he is trying to catch and with their pasts and presents colliding, Delton and Xara will realize they might have been wrong about each other and will have to decide if they want to take a chance to have more than a loveless marriage.
I simply adore our main characters, both Xara and Delton were extremely well written and it was easy to relate to them and understand their decisions. Xara was a really great FMC, she became so strong and badass after the wedding and I loved reading about her double life, it was really interesting. Delton, our MMC, was also amazing and I loved reading about all the ways he was trying to win Xara when he finally realized his mistakes, there was also the case of “he falls first” in this book which is one of my favorite tropes!
After everything that happened in their pasts, Xara and Delton take a while to truly give themselves a second chance and I loved reading about their slow burn romance, they have so many great scenes together and it’s so worth the wait to see their relationship grow, I loved them as a couple.
The King’s Bride is a really great Fantasy Romance, I loved the characters, the plot and the romance and hope we will get to see more of Xara and Delton in the author’s next books because I can’t get enough of them!
