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.

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.

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.

Story
Half-human, half-fae, and with rebellion in her blood, Lady Avice chafes against society's strict rules. Climbing trees, cursing, and running through the woods with young men are all strictly forbidden. Eloping with a man she's fairly sure she loves must be the solution to all her problems. But her white knight quickly loses his luster when they're chased across the country by armed men and forced to flee in a pirate ship.

Story
She's back. We were kids the last time I saw her, but my innocent crush from childhood is full-grown now. And it's not so innocent anymore. She's a breath of fresh air from the series of one-night stands since being drafted into the NHL. I've only got one shot with her, and I'm not taking it for granted. I may give her the passion she's been craving, but she's the intimacy I've waited for my whole life.

Story
The Arcana aren't just figures in a tarot deck―they're real. Terrifyingly real. That's what I learned when I found a tarot card in the snow and was yanked from my world into Towerfall. The first thing the people of this harsh, cruel realm did was try to kill me, and they probably would have succeeded if Kane hadn't taken me to his hideout in the woods and nursed me back to health.

Story
Bred in a world of gang wars, violence, and secrets, they rule the bloody town of Thorn Valley and all the people in it...too bad for me, I’ve never been good at kissing ass or keeping quiet. Even if their savage spirits awaken something inside of me I thought was long dead, I can’t break. I won’t. They think they scare me, that I’ll run and hide, but the joke’s on them. The Crows aren’t the first monsters I’ve faced, and they won’t be the last. There are worse evils out there waiting to take their stab at Ava Jade Mason. I say, let them try.

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.

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.

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!

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.
