It Could Only be You by BoopiestHearts

| Watty 2022 Shortlist | This is Daphs story; an MC worthy of the title, flitting between love and lust on her journey through Love Island as tries to find the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Some people struggle finding one person they want to be with, Daphs struggles to pick just one. An angsty rewrite of Season 2 with additional challenges and games, stretching out the summer for two months of sun, sex, and some petty behaviour. Stick with Daphs as she grows from her week one villain, making it all the way to the final, sometimes by the skin of her teeth, to become the best version of herself. Explicit content warning; a very, very bad Lucas warning; a slow, slow burn Bobby fic. Enjoy!

*WATTYS 2024 SHORTLISTED* Ellie did the 'True Love' thing and it left her heartbroken. Now her dreams are smaller: win a BAFTA, convince her mother she's okay, and don't kill her infuriating colleague Nas. And definitely don't kiss him. 'I am suddenly aware of his hand on my waist. Has he always been this tall? Has he always smelled of smoke and cloves and warmth? My brain is collapsing. All it can think is NAS IS TOUCHING ME. His lips are coming down... Or mine are coming up... Does he want to kiss me? Even worse, do I want him to?'

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.

Going on a reality TV show wasn't how Josie expected to spend her summer - she wasn't looking for fame, and certainly didn't expect to find love. But now that she's on Love Island, surrounded by hot single men, she figures she may as well enjoy herself. But what happens when things don't go as planned, and events start spiralling out of her control? Will her mistakes catch up to her, or will she make it through unscathed? And will she end up finding love, or only heartbreak? ** Cover art by @smaiihands on tumblr (commissioned) **

Touching Shadows by BronT86
41 parts Complete Mature
At 24 years old, Audrey is slowly achieving her dreams. A teacher, working in a challenging, rough-around-the-edges high school, every day is different. Even if it means that occasionally the sports shed burns down, or the police have to make an almost weekly appearance. Her best friend is also a teacher, the life of the party, and the best person to debrief over a glass of wine or three with. She had a handsome and hardworking boyfriend, and a cute little place to call her own. Always ready to play by the rules, Audrey is reliable and respectable, if not a bit boring. But when her life starts to go off the rails, she has some scary decisions to make. She opts to do something completely out of her comfort zone, and just see where it leads her. And to who... A love story about second chances. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ "How dare you! I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole!" How was he getting under my skin so easily? "That's a pity. I have a ten foot pole I was so keen to show you. I bet I could change your mind." He was enjoying this way too much, and I wasn't going to hang around and let him taunt me any longer. I turned and started packing my things, silently fuming that he was getting off on making me angry. I felt him moving behind me as I worked, and suddenly he was behind me, whispering in my ear. "It would be so easy to unbutton these silly little shorts of yours... and just bend you over the table right now." My body stiffened and stood straight up, my cheeks now the colour of cherries. I stood still, barely breathing, as he traced a finger down my spine. Then it stopped. I heard him back away. And then the library door jolted shut, leaving me in silence again.
