Barbi and the Villain, Veronica Lancet
Barbi and the Villain, Veronica Lancet
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 for an evil ritual that will allow him to invade her world-and conquer it.
Channeling her main character energy, Barbi tries to run away 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?
Barbi and The Villain is the first book in an epic fantasy romance trilogy featuring a bubbly and innocent heroine and a villainous love interest you'll hate to love.

I read this book a long time ago and considered it one of my favorites. I was surprised to see it on the syndicate’s shelves! 10/10
I bought this over a month ago and it’s still going strong.
I hate Ophelia because Blackwell should be with me 🥲
10/10 recommend!! Smut syndicate puts so much thought and love into their blind dates. So much that they reach out and look at your fable or good reads and really try to perfect your date. I look forward to this every single month
Perfect for bringing my book to the beach!!!
Read this in a day! Could not recommend enough. My favorite is there are sprinkles of little mermaid throughout, but other than that this is a story you would NEVER expect

I sent a blind date with a book to a friend and she loved it! Ordering was super easy and shipped so so fast. Highly recommend 💜
My blind date with a book was everything I hoped for and more! Unwrapping it felt like opening a gift from a friend who really gets me. The book I received was in my TBR for months! The story made me laugh, cry, and stay up way too late, but I have zero regrets. It’s the kind of date you want to tell everyone about—and I already can’t wait for the next one!
