Inexperienced Lexie never felt like she was missing out when it came to love. School and gymnastic were all that mattered. She had goals and didn't need the complications of a relationship getting her way. Accepting the dare from her best friends, Lexie now finds herself spending the summer in the Love Island Villa. Can she put her dreams on hold and enjoy a summer romance?
Bobby has given up on the notion of love after perpetually being stuck in the friend zone. And that's fine by him as long as those friends came with benefits. His first love has always been baking. If he can make it to the final and win the cash prize, he can open up his own bakery, making his dreams come true. Now that he's on Love Island, he may soon discover there are more important things in life besides perfecting the Choux pastry. Money can't always buy you happiness, and it definitely doesn't buy love.
Will Lexie and Bobby find love this summer, or will their personal goals stand in their way? Life in the villa is more than either of them had bargained for. Will challenge after challenge, a few twists to their fairy tale romance, and some well-kept secrets be more than they can handle? Or will they get their happy ever after?

**This is my very first fanfiction, let alone first time writing a story ever. I hope you enjoy it. Please be gentle with your comments. I kept the same timeline and basic dialogue of the story, with a few changes and additions. I also kept the setting in the UK to keep the authenticity of the story, however I have never visited and my knowledge of the British culture is limited, so please excuse some of my American references.

Something More by StarryNight1983
31 parts Complete Mature
A pact is made. An alliance formed. Instant besties. You don't expect to go on a reality dating show to find a best friend. For Kiera and Bobby, that's exactly what happens. Bobby's here for a summer of fun. He knows it's slim, but he really wants to win the money. Kiera's hoping for lots of steamy bits with the Villa hotties. Things aren't always as they seem. One of them isn't being honest about their feelings, putting their entire friendship in danger. Days of torture ensues as these feelings grow stronger and stronger. Is it even possible though? Could they ever move past friends and have something more? COMPLETED BOOK!!! This is a standalone book! It has no association to my other Love Island series. I just couldn't give up Bobby McKenzie yet!! I started writing this story after I finished book one of my Love Island series, My Sweets. (My Sweets, Tears of our Ruins, Searching for Myself). I've been working on this off and on these last few years when I needed breaks from my other stories. I never intended to share it, but I love how it turned out. This Bobby McKenzie is different from my last one. This story focuses more on his insecurities. It was fun to explore the friendship aspect of this, instead of fast lovers like my other one. This book follows the main concept of season 2 of the Love Island app game. Operation Nope. Casa Amore. Judge Bobby. The kissing scandal. It's different though. Most of the challenges are completely different games. A sexy new character will be introduced to stir up the Villa. Plus, prom is cancelled!! I hope you enjoy this familiar story that's just different enough to add more interest.

Season 1 complete! Book 2 (Rhapsody) complete! It was a new start for her, at least that was what her dad had told her when they moved from LA. A new start, with a new odd group of friends and her past mistakes still haunting her every move. Mistakes which suddenly seemed a lot harder to escape in such a small town; where the wrong person could be just around the corner, or the right one running full speed in the opposite direction. Turns out, it wasn't a new town which gave Lexi a chance at a fresh start, but rather colliding with Pope Hayward two weeks before the hurricane. The only question remains as to whether or not she can handle the life she's been offered, especially when a certain blond comes into the picture, threatening to cut the final string which holds her together. ---------------------- Smut warning LOL. Hi! I got this idea really randomly and just decided to write this book. It's a little different from the actual show, and there are definitely certain themes which make the story line a bit more graphic so viewer discretion is advised; definitely a spicer version of the Netflix show if you get what I mean. Just want to preface it by saying that there will be some triggers, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch them all because I've only lightly edited this (so if there are some minor plot holes just ignore them LOL), but the main ones will be sexual assault, suicide, physical/verbal abuse, and mental illness. Please tread lightly if these are sensitive topics to you, as certain peoples limits might be different from yours. Happy reading!

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
Love with strings detached by M_scorpioxx

I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on. Love is his greatest fear, something that's so beautiful yet can be so painful at times. Can you love someone even if you fear that feeling? Daisy is a 20-year-old university student with bad romance luck so far. An ugly breakup can put you off love or it can make you more determined to find the real deal. Getting recently out of a toxic relationship, a new one is the last thing she's looking for. Can you love someone that doesn't allow themselves to be loved? A romance filled with drama, passion and love.

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.
