Deceitful. Arrogant. Cold. Those are the three perfect words to sum up my husband to be.

After little deliberation, my parents decide Isiah Darcy is the perfect suitor.

He’s rich, British, and the perfect ally for the Benedetto family business.

I can’t stand him, but they don’t care what I want.

He’s stuck up and has little respect for women.

Once we’re married, he makes it painfully clear I have no rights.

I’m nothing more than a puppet.

A way for him to get what he’s always wanted.

Revenge on my family for something that happened years ago.

My husband wants to tear my family apart.

He underestimates me, as I’ll do everything in my power to stop him.

And yet all is not as it first appears as I get to know the villainous Isiah Darcy.

Pride is the first book in the Once Upon a Villain Series by Bianca Cole. This story is a dark arranged marriage romance story with dark themes and certain subjects that may upset the listener. It has no cliffhanger, a happily ever after ending, and can be read as a standalone.

I gave 5 stars because the author deserves it. The roller coaster of emotions I felt while reading this story was too much, and I couldn’t put it down until the end.

Spoil alert: I disagree with how Bella surrendered in the end to Isiah with the fact that he barely apologized for how he treated her throughout their relationship, including how he brutally took her virginity without her consent. I would have liked a full chapter away from him begging for forgiveness.
Spice 🌶️❤️‍🔥🔥as 5/5 but without mutual consent through most of their relationship. I hated Isiah!
Although some of Isiah’s inner thoughts suggested regrets toward the end, he never apologized or asked/begged for forgiveness. It came to easy for him in the form of Bella’s understanding his motives for revenge.
The narrators did an outstanding performance!

Wow! What a emotional ride
