About this listen
She's an awkward bookworm. He's a fictional character in her favorite book.
When Barbara “Barbi” Bancroft mysteriously receives an unreleased manuscript from her favorite book series, she can’t curb her excitement. But when she gets sucked into the story—literally—she finds herself in the fantastical realm of Akkaya. Immediately, she thinks this is the adventure of a lifetime and she will finally meet her Prince Charming, and maybe have her first kiss.
But things don’t go her way, and soon she is running for her life.
Her only hope to survive and get home is the heroic Sir Damien, her fictional crush.
Unfortunately, he is anything but heroic and he decides to sacrifice her in an evil ritual that will allow him to invade her world—and conquer it.
Channeling her main character energy, Barbi tries to run and outsmart Sir Damien. And that is how she ends up thrown in a dungeon, waiting for her death.
With the villain of the story.
Forming an unlikely alliance with the most hated character wasn’t in Barbi’s bingo card, but she will do anything to save herself and her world.
Things become further complicated when she accidentally gets mated to said villain, and now she’s trapped forever.
Or is she?
This is a DARK fantasy romance with a villainous love interest. Please check the triggers before listening.

Story
Naia, the daughter of the High Sea Goddess, is an embarrassment. She holds no title and no power but is the key to a curse placed centuries ago on her mother: Naia must form a union with a god from an opposing family. When the day arrives for her arranged marriage, she turns to the High God of Death and Curses for help. He assists Naia under one condition—she must accept a curse, blindly. Willing to do whatever it takes to escape her mother’s kingdom beneath the sea, Naia agrees and flees to the Mortal Land.

Story
Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

Story
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

The Obsidian Order only cares about three things: secrecy, loyalty, and power. Every man born to the founding families is bred for this purpose, to serve the society and its objectives. As a result, we are the elite. Untouchable. Unbreakable. If we make it through the Trials. I will, as long as my obsession doesn't get the best of me. This girl… If the Order doesn't kill me, she'll be the death of me. Because I won't give her up. She's mine.

It was dark, and in my defense, he was tall, muscled, and smelled like the most tempting sin. I couldn't resist, and the second he touched me, I knew I was never going to be the same. It was a night filled with the kind of intensity a woman could only ever dream of. Nothing could have tainted such perfectness. At least, that's what I thought. Because the delicious man I let rail me into oblivion isn't the perfect stranger I thought he was. No, he's anything but.

Our families believe a marriage pact is the only thing that will prevent all-out warfare. I think I might need to murder him while he sleeps. This would all be a lot easier if Callum wasn’t so damned good-looking.

Loved It
"Where you go, I go,” I tell him confidently.
I loved this book. It was a fascinating adventure. I love the idea of someone who's completely in love with fictional characters or a fictional world and somehow gets transported there either as themselves or one of the characters. Barbi was quirky and I really liked her from the start. In the beginning of the story I kept getting flashbacks of Elle Woods from Legally Blonde from her name and favorite color pink. There's an innocence to her and I was sad how her so-called friends took advantage of and used her for her money. PomPom is like a little tiger and sassy and protective of her owner.
Once they somehow get transported into Akkaya (won't spoil how), she finds that the world isn't exactly how it was in the series- and if anyone would know, she would. I liked how she used her knowledge to outwit others when she could. This story was a lot of fun and I liked how her love interest was the last person she would have ever imagined getting close to. I really liked him, too. The story has action, danger, twists and turns. And that cliffhanger! I can't wait until the next book!
I listened to this audiobook narrated by Adrienne Fleming and she did a wonderful job bringing these characters to life. Especially Barbi. Her voice was perfect for her!
Both this author and this narrator are new to me.

A fantasy romance for the non-fantasy romance reader!
This was the type of fantasy I can get behind! But don’t read it if you’re one of those people that can’t stand quirky FMCs. And if you’re a fantasy snob, don’t read this bc you’ll just b!tch about it, I already know lol but if you’re like me and need world building you can understand easily, and enjoy time travel—highly suggest! I knocked a star bc I personally would’ve preferred more groveling. And it’s actually enemies to lovers and a slow af burn!
Also, I did the audiobook for this and kudos to the narrator, she did a great job giving each character their own distinct sound, and she made the perfect Barbie voice IMO!

Captivating!
This is the first book in the Barbi and the Villain Trilogy, a dark fantasy romance. I like this author's writing style. Barbara “Barbi” and Nykander “Nyk“'s story is entertaining, funny, and captivating. The characters are well developed, and intriguing. Barbi is feisty, smart, strong, and determined. Nyk is enigmatic. The world building is original. I liked the banter, the push and pull, the mystery, and the twists and turns. Adrienne Fleming did a great job bringing this story to life. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Blown away!
Veronica Lancet is one of the most diverse authors I have had the pleasure of reading. Fantasy books always deter me as it is often daunting to learn a new world, but the author does an amazing job teaching us about this new land and its traditions, customs, and histories. As Barbi is transported into this alternate world, we only know the information that Barbi is able to learn through her experiences and information relayed to her by other characters. I loved that, at the end of this book, we still don’t know what is real or lies, and can most definitely not predict the outcome. I love this in a book and know that it would only work this way because it is told only from Barbi’s POV, though I do hope we eventually will get a few chapters from “the Villian’s” POV. I am not even sure what genre this book fits in, but maybe that is why it is so fabulous.
Adrienne Fleming does a phenomenal job performing this story!

Barbi is trapped in her favorite story and falls in love with the villain
Barbi and the Villain by Veronica Lancet is an amazing story of a main character going into a book and has to try and navigate her favorite fantasy world. The main character soon realizes her favorite story isn’t entirely the same as what she’s read. When the hero, tries to sacrifice her. She turns to the only person she thinks will keeps her alive the villain. Adrienne Fleming did an excellent job on the narration, how she tells the story you think you’re there. The story is interesting, entertaining, fun, humorous, and there are times your heart rates.
If you get trapped in your favorite story and it turns out very different. What would happen to you? Can you survive in a world that you’ve only read about?

Barbi and the Villain!
What an intriguing story! This was definitely not what I was expecting but was definitely worth every bit of my time. The author does a great job with the build and development of the world and the characters. The story says it is dark, but it not as dark as some I have read or listened too. I do like the characters! It is an interesting twist on fairy tale like story.
