Marrying a demon king wasn’t part of my wedding plans . . .
I always knew I’d marry Simon. We may not love each other, but as my father’s sole heir, a union with Simon will ensure our family’s fortunes remain safe.
Only there’s nothing safe about the man standing opposite me on the altar. This man speaks words of love and passion. Words I know Simon would never say.
Then my groom kisses me, and my world breaks apart.
Simon would never kiss me like this. But this man . . .
Dark-haired, gray-eyed, and sinisterly handsome, and nothing like my intended. Surely I must be dreaming?
Then he whisks me away to our honeymoon, to a place I don’t recognize. He tells me I’m in danger, and that Simon wants me dead. That he has the power to protect me.
How does he know this? Because he’s Abaddon. Don for short. Not that his nickname makes it any better when he’s one of the Three Kings of Hell.
It turns out I’ve gone and married a demon . . . oh, and it gets better. Apparently, we’ve known each other before and he’s convinced we’re destined to be together.
Do I risk losing my heart to my dangerously dark husband? And if I trust him, will I come out alive?
The Demon King’s Bride is the fourth book in the Married To The Devil paranormal romance fantasy series that can be read as a standalone and features a sexy, dark hero you’ll be aching to follow to hell and back.

Roxie Ray has written a 5-star book. This book will keep your interest from the first page to the last page just to find out what happens. This is the story of Bea and Don. Don is a demon, who has loved Bea in the past. something happened and her memory was erased of her time with him. It was arranged on the day she was born that she would marry Simon Roth. It is now their wedding day. Unknown to Simon or Bea, Don has watched over Bea for a long time. He overhears Simon making a deal with another demon to kill Bea. Don takes care of Simon and sends him to pit in hell. Don takes Simon's place as the groom. When Bea starts to walk toward Simon, she notices that he does not look right. She realized the man standing there is not Simon. She goes through with the wedding but after gives the guy hell. After the wedding, while they were having pictures taken, someone tried to kill her. Don takes care of the demon and saved her life. When they get a few minutes alone, he tells her what he overheard Simon making the deal. They go to the reception and after it is over, he takes her not to the hotel where she and Simon were supposed to go but to him home in hell. they spend two weeks there reconnecting in every way. He gives her back some of her memories. When it is time to go back, they go to her parent's home for dinner. Bea finds out something she had no clue about and this upsets Don. He doesn't like the way that she does what she is told by her parents. He knows that she is not that way. They spend the night at her parent's home since she has to go to a meeting with her father the next morning. When she wakes up, don is still asleep. She goes downstairs and runs into Levi, Simon's father. She is not comfortable with Levi. As they are talking, Simon walks in and she almost called him Don. she notices that Don is acting like the real Simon. She knows that something is wrong. When they leave to go to the office, Levi said something and she knows for sure that the man sitting beside her is the real Simon. At the office, the three meet up with two demons. Bea is told what the plan is and they need her signature on the papers. The signatures look like they were done in blood. One of the demons comes up to her and pricks her finger and makes her sign. She is then told of the plan of Levi's to take over the world and eliminate all humans. When Don wakes up, he doesn't see Bea. He goes downstairs and looks for her but can't find her. He feels like something is wrong. He thinks that Bea would not leave without him so she must have been forced to go with them. He goes to check on Simon and finds him gone from the pit. He knows where they have taken her so he goes there. When he enters the office where they all were, Levi stabs him with an iron sword. Iron is toxic to Don. While Don is down, Levi gives Simon something and tells him to finish Don off. While Simon is messing with the thing in his hand, Don tells him that he don't want to do what Levi told him. Simon said, "I don't? why not?" “Because…” Bea said. Her voice came from the window on the far side of the room. It was open— and to my horror, she’d positioned her body halfway out of it. “If you kill him, I’ll jump. We’re fifty stories up. I think I might actually die before I even hit the ground.” “Bea, Please. Please, don’t.” “Listen to your husband, Beatrice.” Levi took a careful step toward her. She stared Levi down with a look of pure steel. “Come any closer and I’ll do it now. You wouldn’t like that, would you?” “You wouldn’t dare,” Levi breathed. But I noticed the look he gave to Simon, too. One of warning. Be prepared to stand down. “Wouldn’t I?” “If I die, eventually, I’ll reincarnate. I’ll live again. That’s the rule, right? And you said so yourself— I don’t reincarnate often. “If Simon kills him now, you won’t be reborn at all.” Levi held up his hands— almost a gesture of surrender. “You’ll be out of this world for good. Is that what you want?” “You’ll be out of this world for good. Is that what you want?” “Maybe I do.” She smiled at him. “Maybe I’ll go straight to Hell and make problems for you there. You have no idea what I’m capable of when I set my mind to something— but if you kill him, you’ll quickly find out.” “You’re bluffing.” “Am I?” She certainly didn’t look it. “Mm. No,” Mammon mused, stroking his chin. His gaze was rapt with interest— like a man watching a car crash. “I do not think she is.” “I wouldn’t try her,” Zeb admitted. “That look in her eyes…”Once Bea explained herself to Levi. Don knew she wasn't in any real danger. She had found a way to stop his plan with his hands tied. And now, it was time for Don to rise up to her level. Her courage gave Don strength. While the others were distracted, with an aching slowness, he began to draw the blade from my ribs. The pain was excruciating. Nauseating and dizzying. Simon looks at Bea and said, "And what about me, Beatrice?” “Don’t you care how this hurts me? Would you really rather kill yourself over some fucking demon instead of being mine?” She stared at him for a long moment, then laughed. “You know, Simon? Honestly?” She nodded. “Yes. Yes, I most definitely would.” While everyone's attention was on Bea, Don removed the blessed iron sword and rammed it through Simon's back. When Simon fell, Don whispered into his ear " She was never yours and now she never will be." Bea looked at Don and he can't read her. Is she looking at him with what? Fear? Admiration? Gratitude? Shock? “Well met, Don,” said Levi. “I think we’re done here— but I can assure you, I’m very eager to repay you for that little show of force when we meet again.” With a snap of his fingers, all three men were gone. Bea looks at Don and said, "you killed him." Don remembers when he first put Simon in the pit, he was going to go and kill him after he got Bea to a safe place but she begged him not to and Don promised he wouldn't. Now he has gone and done the one thing he promised her he wouldn't do. He tells her that he is sorry and he doesn't expect her to forgive him but she had to know that it needed to be done.“I don’t need to forgive you, Don.” She spoke slowly. Don nodded and then said, “I can accept that. Just… let me get you somewhere safe. To Ava’s place, maybe. Mal can watch over you both from there. Then I’ll go. You’ll never have to see me again.” “What are you talking about, Don?” Bea blinked, her brow furrowed with confusion. “Never have to see you again… You’re my husband. You saved me. Why would you say a thing like that?” “You said you couldn’t forgive me, Bea.” She looks at him for a long moment and then does something he doesn't expect. she laughs. “I said I didn’t need to forgive you.” She moved toward me and wrapped her arms around my waist. When she looked up at me, there was nothing but love in her eyes. “There’s nothing to forgive.” With her words, he felt like he was reborn. “I’m pregnant, Don,” Bea whispered. She held my gaze for just long enough to smile at the surprise that crossed my face, then folded her body against mine. “And I’m tired. Take me home?” I took her face in my hands and forced her to look up at me. “You’re pregnant? Really? You mean it? You’re sure?” She tells him that she is or at least that is what Levi had said. She said that that was what all that had been about, Levi wanted their baby to raise and if he couldn't her theirs then he would take Ava's of Joan's. Don tells her “He’s not going to get our baby or his wishes.” Don takes her to the only place where he knows she will be safe. Will things work out for Bea and Don? This was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Another great read that I really enjoyed. I absolutely couldn’t get enough of Don & Bea. Don & Bea are so amazing together and so happy that they got their HEA. Secrets are finally revealed and I can’t wait too see what’s going too happen next.
This book is eq;ual parts naughty, tenacious, and down right sexy! I am diggin this universe and wholly mother of the devil did you do us justice with this book! I was so engrosed in this book that I could not put it down. It was like being thrown down the rabbit hole and o what a joy it is to be here. The flow is strengthened throughout the story. The blending is marvelous and you know the best from this author when you read the tale she weaves. Captivating you within the seams of this fantastic book! This is a incredibly fascinating story and oh I cannot wait for more from this realm. Miss Ray I have to commend you for telling a very intriguing and tantalizing story with many characters that are not only honorable with a package to boot but they make the story come alive and make us feel. That is the goal and task of a great author. Your stories are remarkably writen and your play on words is incredibly adept at setting your stories just so the imagination has a good visual. Really Really GOOD! I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Endlich, endlich, endlich geht es weiter mit der "Married to the Devil" Reihe, welche ich verschlungen habe.
Buch 1-3 waren ja rund um Evie und Luke, und jetzt geht es weiter mit dem nächsten Pärchen.
Ich fand es einfach super, wieder in der Welt zu sein, und zu erfahren, wie es denn mit den anderen weitergeht, denn es gibt schon noch ein paar offene Fragen. Und ich muss sagen, ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.
Wir treffen alte Freunde wieder (ja, Evie und Luke sind auch mit dabei) und lernen neue Freunde kennen, aber auch altbekannte Feinde tauchen wieder auf.
Die Geschichte von Bea und Don war spannend und schön, und ich fand die Twists und Turns der Autorin perfekt. Ja, man kann ein paar Sachen schon erahnen, aber mit dem ein oder anderen hätte ich dennoch nicht gerechnet.
Beide passen perfekt zusammen, und auch wenn man weiß, wie die Reise endet, so will man doch erfahren, wie sie gemeinsam, oder auch nicht, zu dem Ziel kommen.
Ich bin happy, Bea und Don begleitet zu haben und freu mich auf Buch 5, das hoffentlich bald erscheint :)
4⭐️- so glad we get to see the individual stories the girls, and Bea and Don are no exception. Loved this book, not at all what I expected from them.
After having her memories wiped to protect Evie and her child, Don watches Bea from afar for her protection. That all changes when he overhears her husband-to-be making plans with a demon to have her killed shortly after the wedding. Making a rash decision, he pushes the fiancé into the Abyss and takes his place at the wedding using a glamor. A glamor that no one seems to see through, except Bea.
Bea has been dreading this wedding, but knows that it is her responsibility as part of her family. She knows it’s her fate, and is surprised to see a different man waiting for her at the alter. Finding out that her new husband is a demon, and a demon she has history with, she knows she’s in for a wild ride. Wanting to get her memories back but hesitant to believe it’s all real, she doesn’t know what to think of this demon who claims to love her.
So so good. Loved how they played this out, can’t wait to read about Joan next!
This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW of The Demon King's Bride by Roxie Ray and Skye Wilson. This book is the fourth in the amazing Married to the Devil series. I absolutely loved this read. "Don" and Bea's story is sweet and funny, loaded with lots of snark, drama, angst and sexy heat! (This is a Mature Readers Only Read!) I thought the series couldn't get any better, but I was wrong. This story picks up from the setup in the third book (don't worry if you haven't read the previous books, there is enough back story here to make this virtually stand alone with a few spoilers. But you really are missing out if you haven't read Lucifer's story!) and takes you on a mad dash. Excellent character development and dynamic world building make this a Summer Must Read!
This honest and voluntary review was made possible by reading a copy through Booksprout.
So glad its fast paced enough to unravel all these things. Some series leave you wishing you knew what the friends go through... and this gave the perfect glimpse while moving forward. It really is written in a way that it could be read without the rest of the Married to the Devil series. We see how the characters grow from the small but meaningful dynamics we saw when they weren't the main character to them being front and center. Yes some of the overlap of the beginning of the series like the small cases of amnesia and gaining those memories back is cool as we see different things that expand our view of the world. Can't wait to see the rest of the Kings.
Bea has an arranged marriage, but when she is at the alter it is not her expected fiance she sees but someone else. She is drawn to this other man and continues with the wedding. After the wedding, Don, her new husband tells her that he is there to protect her from her previous fiance and that they are destined to be together. As she wasn't interested in marrying her previous fiance and she is attracted to Don, maybe this will turn out in her favor after all.
I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it.

After first 3 books I thought that there will be some changes in vocabulary, since it’s no longer Lucifer. But nope. Other characters, but same word - cunt! There is a lot of other “names” they could use. So why this one? No fucking one uses this word! I quite like the series so far, but every sex scene is destroyed once they use that fucking word! Sorry I got carried away a bit. Anw, I enjoy the series so far. And I was really happy when we got to visit Lilly. She is really sweet I hope to see her angel wings next time. Plus I really wanna know what kind of powers her mother has. So at the end I give it 4/5⭐️.
Beatrice always knew she would marry Simon to help protect the family fortune as the last remaining heir. What she doesnt expect is for a demon in disguise waiting at the end of the isle. Abaddon (Don) knows Beatrice is his long lost love and with a man she's supposed to marry after her, he goes tovany length to keepcher safe even taking her to hell. Well written with a great story line, part of a series but canbe read standalone, the story draws you in and keeps your attention through out!

What a good story addition this was to the series. This time it is the story of how Bea and Don get together and what they must face. It was hot, entertaining, and had a twist or two. Some secrets are revealed that fir into the overall series arc that made me think. The characters were a blast especially Bea and Don. The story started out strong and made me laugh and continued from there in its amusing tone. Just a good hot story that kept me reading to the end as Bea's hidden pasts are revealed and made me understand Don's affection and willingness to do what he does. Enjoyed it.
Awesome! Beautifully written for sure flows like poetry in motion so fluent and beautiful. These writers got mad skills. It's rock'n this time around truths are reviled as well as plots. Ah the suspense kills me me but what a way to got really. Hot and sexy with action, drama and suspense. Beautiful love stories of profound ans sinful love. Really who else can get away with a love so profound that they would smite even the angels and demons that come against them...The Devil Kings thats who....lol
I love this story. He (demon) has found his long-lost love, but she has no clue. Now she is to marry another. She is marrying someone else to save her family, but the demon made her and everyone else thinks it was him up at the alter. He is there to take his love and to keep her safe. It is sweet of him to want to protect his love. Will she accept him as her long-lost lover and go with him?

As soon as Beth was born she was promised to marry Simon he’s from another wealthy family like hers she knows that it wouldn’t be for love and they were both fine with that until Beth walked down the isle it wasn’t her husband to be standing there it was a gorgeous stranger but no one noticed or said anything so maybe Beth was going crazy!. There is so much more going on in this amazing story I loved it and the characters and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.
This entertainingg and unique presentation of a paranormal romance fantasy theme is a book 4 in The Married To The Devil Book Series. This is a very well-written story with amazing characters. These characters are believably well-crafted and come to life in this great story. This is a great addition to a paranormal romance Series. I cannot wait for the next story in this series

I truly enjoyed the way the author builds up the relationship between Don and Bea and the way they met. I didn’t like the way Bea was portrayed in some parts as strong and when it came to her parents she was a submissive little girl. Anyway, still enjoyed this book and the series. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. Who knew demons could be so entertaining. Enjoy!
Quite enjoyed this book, although at times it felt a little similar to Luke and Evie's book. The overall plot was good and I connected with Don, not so much with Bea though she didn't seem to have the depth of character that he did. While a better knowledge of Leviathan would be nice, I suspect that will come in future books. I look forward to the next book in the series, I think Lock will be a force to deal with.
I love this series! Roxie Ray pulls me into this world and I never want to leave. Don and Bea have fiery chemistry and you can feel it from the pages of the book. This story kept me on the edge of my seat and I never wanted to put it down. I can’t wait for the next book! Definitely recommend!

The fourth book in the Married To The Devil series another very good story in this series. This is Abaddon/Don one of the Three Kings of Hell and Bea's story of suspense, drama, danger, a prophecy, twists, turns, villains, and romance. I want to read the next book.

This book contains familiar characters but the main characters are Be a and Don. As with all Roxies books this is well written and engaging with a happily ever after and a cliff hanger introducing the next book.
Strongly recommend this book.

This is a dark domination romance read. It starts out grabbing you within the first few paragraphs and keeps you reading with great descriptive writing. It has more then a few plot twists with a lot of heat throughout the whole book. It will keep you guessing and make you cry an all around great book.

I almost thought this one was gonna be better. I liked Don more than “Luke”, Bea seemed like a spitfire, I was ready. But no, we get a weirdly nonconsensual marriage, a recycled reincarnation plot, and an overemphasis on “obeying”. The whole obey crap rubbed me the wrong way with the first love interests and now that it’s transcending story plots I’m getting seriously peeved.
A fantastic continuation of a amazingly well written story! Its got everything you want, conflict, danger, love and spice all in the perfectly written words! Seeing Bea's story and revisiting Evies is so beautifully done. Story arcs that were written in the first 3 finally being addressed and im eager to continue on to the next book to find out more!
This series is an interesting to say the least but I am personally offended by the use of the c-word by the women in reference to their private parts. Plus, it is not an erotic referral in the least. Since I have purchased the entire series I am interested to read the finale and will try to ignore the offensive reference.
This was a good addition to the series and I liked it well enough there wasn’t much action as the first few books and the smut level was a lot less felt a bit like a filler book just so we had something about other characters. However I did enjoy it and would recommend reading as part of the series
