The Billionaire Bachelors #2
Bonfire Beach
They’re single, they’re rich, and now these billionaire bachelors are heading to Sanctuary Island in a new e-original novella series from Lily Everett! Fall in love with the island’s latest catch.
Leo, Zane, and Cooper made a pact to stay bachelors and enjoy the single life forever, and when they receive an invitation to their friend Miles’ wedding, they head down to Sanctuary Island determined to talk some sense into the errant groom before he makes a life-changing mistake. But Miles knows his own mind, and he makes a vow of his own: before he walks down the aisle, he’ll have Leo, Zane, and Cooper changing their tune about matrimony. Because Miles knows, better than anyone, that all it takes is a little Sanctuary Island magic to turn romantic cynics into true believers.
Zane Bishop has always been the life of the party, the guy who makes sure everyone is having a blast, and he turned his experiences as a college DJ into a multi-billion-dollar entertainment company. He can’t wait to take control of the bachelor party, but Zane’s plans for an all-night rager come up against wedding consultant Felicity Carlson’s ideas about getting Miles to the church on time and sober. While Zane works overtime tempting Felicity into having fun, she discovers that there’s more to the party boy than meets the eye—but can a woman who makes her living planning other people’s perfect romances ever find true love of her own?

I received an advance reader edition of this book from St. Martin's Press and Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.
This book is the second in the series of billionaire bachelors; this particular novella focuses in on Zane. Zane is a care-free, fun loving billionaire bachelor who meets his match with Felicity. Felicity is the event/wedding planner in charge of making Miles and Greta's dreams come true. (Miles and Greta's story was told in the first book of the series.)
This book was a sweet and easy read, I enjoyed the story of each character… but it felt a little rushed to me. Again, this could be due to the page constraint on the novella. There were a few scenes that made me laugh out loud
This book did peak my interest in reading the first Billionaire Bachelor series and possibly the third. I enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to read the first book in the series to understand what was going on. I also really enjoyed the different POV provided. This is a good book to pick up in-between intense books; I think it’s a nice palate/emotional cleanser. Not too heavy and a quick read.
Steam: C- (Scenes are primarily fade out)
Overall Rating: 2.5

Bonfire Beach, hits all the right notes in a romance—laughs, emotions, growth, and a HEA. Zane and Felicity were both great characters, each with their own hang-ups and drawbacks, but when the time comes for them they each step up and make the decision to have each other. Zane was a sexy hunk, fun, and sweet, and let’s not discount his ability to sweep a woman off her feet, while Felicity is a woman that has learned from her mistakes and is willing to give up her issues just to keep the man she loves with her. I have loved reading the first two in this series, and am seriously looking forward to the final book in this trilogy and am just plain dying to read the next full-length novel by Lily Everett. Come with me to Sanctuary Island and enjoy the love that seems to float in the ocean waters and blow across the hills filled with wild horses.

I will start off by saying that I haven't read the other novellas in the Billionaire Bachelors Series, but that didn't make me feel lost with what's going on here in any way. I do plan to read them, if for nothing other than to find out about the bet (and Cooper!), but I have a feeling you can start with whichever of them you want to.
Wedding planner Felicity Carlson is in charge of billionaire Miles Harrington's dream beach wedding, the event of her career, when she is met with a little conundrum. She has to plan everything alongside Miles' best friend, bad boy entertainment mogul Zane Bishop. There's no denying that he's hot and they've got chemistry, but their views on the wedding and reception are totally opposite. She wants romantic and elegant, he wants over the top and unique. They spend pretty much all their time together over the next several weeks, scouting locations and making plans for the wedding. All the while avoiding giving in to temptation.
Zane tries to get Felicity to let go and have some fun and she tries to show him that it's okay to stop and be serious about something every once in a while.
I liked the idea for this story, and I am looking forward to getting to know the other characters, especially Cooper, who I found funny and a true friend to Zane. I liked Zane all right and understood why he likes his life the way he does, but I didn't care for Felicity at all. She was rude and completely unprofessional, even going so far as to leave the planning to Zane when her personal feelings got hurt. She constantly points out how wealthy Zane is and is generally a brat.
There are a lot of misses in this book--missed opportunities at character and relationship building, missed chances for Zane to show he was truly Miles's best friend and wanted to give him and his fiancee the wedding of their dreams, and missed explanations for the insta-love. There as also a bet mention that turned out to have no bearing on this story. I'm not sure if it will be in the other novellas or not, but it was a waste to even mention it here. Also, Bonfire Beach is a total FTB. There's talk of sex (and we know they've been together), but no details--physical or emotional.
This was a quick read with what could have been a good story and characters that could have been likable. I will be checking out Cooper's story, but the lack of buildup and believability of the main characters' relationship left me wanting more here.

"Is fun all you ever think about?" she demanded.
Sinking lower into the luxurious embrace of the custom Herm ès leather seat, Zane squirmed his hips and let his legs fall open with a filthy smile. "No. Sometimes I think about sex."

BONFIRE BEACH by Lily Everett is the second book in her Billionaire Bachelors series. The book is set on Sanctuary Island where billionaire CEO Miles Harrington is about to be married and has asked his three best friends to spend the month before the wedding on the island to help him plan and prepare for the wedding. This is a stand-alone novella you can enjoy without reading the first book, but it's a sweet, romantic series and I recommend you indulge.
Bonfire Beach features Miles' gorgeous friend, Zane Bishop, the CEO of Whatever Entertainment and owner of three of the hottest five nightclubs in Manhattan who Miles and his fiancée Greta have asked to help plan the reception. Everyone knows Zane is all about the fun and living life to the fullest. His parties are legendary and he is determined to make Miles and Greta's day the most spectacular party he's ever thrown.
Miles and Greta have also hired the beautiful and successful wedding planner Felicity Carlson. Greta is all about organization, binders filled with notes, and romance. In other words, responsible and very uptight. Zane and Felicity spark the moment they meet. There is a definite physical attraction, but they don't agree on any of the wedding details (Felicity wants warm and romantic candlelight - Zane wants disco balls) including where the reception itself will be held or the type of music to be played. Each are certain they know what will make Miles and Greta happy.
They appear to be opposites in every way, but as they spend time together they begin to share the stories of their lives and realize they have something very important in common. Both have lived through tragedy at a very young age and that pain has affected the choices they make as adults. Zane to live each day as it comes as if it were his last without making any commitments to the future. Felicity to be stable and responsible in all things, and to avoid risk in order to have a secure future. This bonding leads to an passionate affair, but neither are quite prepared for the emotional ties they develop for one another. Zane who determinedly lives his life on the surface never diving into emotional territory about anything is lost with what he feels for Felicity. Felicity who needs security in her life is panicked at the thought of trusting her vulnerable heart to a man who is well-known as nothing but a playboy.
Bonfire Beach is a fun, romantic story of opposites attracting, sparking, battling, and falling in love! I enjoyed reading Zane and Felicity's story and rate it with 3.5 stars.

Lily Everett did a nice job of bringing a little romance to Sanctuary Island once again. It looks like Miles knew what he was talking about when he made that bet with Leo, Zane and Cooper. Oh, wait I forgot there’s a little “something-something” that goes on up at the alter with one of the bridesmaids and Cooper so it’s not totally in the bag so can’t wait to read about that tidbit.
Anyway, this little short was told in 76 pages and it was cute. It was just enough family background to see conflict, there is the current conflict of meet and condition of working the wedding together. You see Felicity Carlson owns her own wedding consulting company of one (her) in Manhattan. Zane Bishop is a self-made billionaire in “Whatever Entertainments” in New York. Which his owner and CEO. He was asked by Miles, his friend, to help and she was hired by Greta. Neither told them they would be working together.
They are both very closed off people who never share personal details. Yet, each one can see that they are closed off. Zane, sees that she does this by all her control and structure she needs with regards to the wedding and reception. Felicity, can see it in Zane always wanting to be having fun, free, exciting new things not boring, yet, his eyes tell a different story.
After a few days of trying to win each other over he hears a talk Felicity and Greta have about her parents and her mom’s health. He gets it but he knows there’s more but for the first time ever he wants to find out what that is. So, a relationship starts (sexual) maybe more… During this talk Greta and Felicity have pay attention to what she says her dad answer was about her mom’s illness. For me it was a tear jerker.
Then Zane being a guy (sorry guys) says something crazy because he is having feelings and boom…Ha-ha you will have to read to see how they will resolve it. It’s nice, very sweet and not what I was thinking would happen. Is believable maybe not but its fiction and a romance so don’t wake me up yet…

3.5 - 4 stars.
Bonfire Beach is the second in the Billionaire Bachelors series and focuses on Zane Bishop, a billionaire playboy who lives life to the full and to have as much fun as he can doing that. What he doesn't do is let people see beneath the surface, therefore not believing a long-lasting love is possible. That is until he comes to Sanctuary island to help out his friend Miles, who is getting married and needs his friends to help make this the wedding of his fiance's dreams.
Zane is in charge of organising the setting for the nuptials and then planning the reception. The bride, Greta, has also organised a professional wedding planner, Felicity, to help Zane and this sets up a charming love story between the pair. Felicity and Zane have had their share of emotional pain from past family trauma, and each have set up their own walls to guard against having their hearts broken again.
I must say that I connected more with these characters than in the first novella in this series. It didn't feel as rushed, although I would have liked a just little bit more in their first intimate encounter. I really enjoyed the back and forth between the characters and the banter had me smiling and wanting to read more. One particular scene had me laughing out loud because it was so much quirky fun, and I felt these characters really suited each other.
When they tell their own past stories to each other I felt the emotion and could understand where their beliefs came from. It was lovely to see them both learning to trust each other with their hearts and to see the way they understood each other was heartwarming. I really would have enjoyed a longer novel exploring these characters.
Overall another quick, light, enjoyable read from Lily Everett. Next in the series is Coopers story.

Zane Bishop, the CEO of Whatever Entertainment and three of the top night clubs in Manhattan, is asked by his best friend Miles Harrington (from The Billionaire Brother's Trilogy Book 3, Island Road) to help plan his and Greta's wedding reception. As he is tearing down the decorations in the venue Felicity Carlson, Wedding planner and owner of Dream Day Wedding Consultants hired by Miles and Greta, walks in. Upon learning Zane plans a reception of Glitz and is planning to tear down the elegant decorations she has spent so much time putting up. Miles sees her as a challenge. One he does not desire to resist. Nor does he see her as a threat to the bet he and two other bachelor friends of Miles Harrington's made regarding that none of the bachelors would come to Sanctuary Island and leave without falling in love. The winner would receive Miles' helicopter and a landing space at the club.
Both Zane and Felicity have issues that keep them from committing to a relationship that they must deal with before the differences in their personalities tear them apart forever. This is the second book in the Billionaire Bachelor series, but can be read as a stand alone. As with most stand alone books in a series I recommend reading all of them to get the full background in the story line. Lily Everette injects humor into her romances but also shows the deeper side of her characters. I found this a joy to read and Ms. Everett a writer I definitely want to read more from. Look for my review of the final book in this trilogy Lantern Lake to be soon.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from St. Martin's Press and Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.
I found this book to be simply charming. This was a definite solid 4 out of 5 star read. It was short enough to read in one sitting and told the story of Zane and Felicity quite well.
This is the second novella in The Billionaire Bachelors trilogy. I enjoyed this story more than the first in the series, The Fireside Inn. The first two novellas can be read as stand alone stories. There are a few overlapping characters and scenes but nothing that would prevent the reader from enjoying these stories independent of each other.
Zane is on Sanctuary Island to help his friend, Miles prepare for his wedding. Miles has asked Zane to help with the planning of the wedding. Felicity has been hired as the wedding planner for the wedding. Zane and Felicity disagree on almost every aspect of the wedding and reception at the beginning of the story, including the location for the reception. Zane encourages Felicity to have fun with the planning of the wedding and in turn they have fun with each other.
Zane and Felicity both have emotional scars from their childhood. I love that both of the characters are upfront with their past. They have a lot of chemistry as a couple as they learn to compromise and trust each other.
This novella delivers the Happily Ever After that most romance readers are looking for. I would recommend this story to anyone who loves a charming romance. I look forward to the third installment in this trilogy and other future works by Lily Everett.
I received an advance reader edition of this book from St. Martin's Press and Net Galley for the purpose of providing an honest review.
I found this book to be simply charming. This was a definite solid 4 out of 5 star read. It was short enough to read in one sitting and told the story of Zane and Felicity quite well.
This is the second novella in The Billionaire Bachelors trilogy. I enjoyed this story more than the first in the series, The Fireside Inn. The first two novellas can be read as stand alone stories. There are a few overlapping characters and scenes but nothing that would prevent the reader from enjoying these stories independent of each other.
Zane is on Sanctuary Island to help his friend, Miles prepare for his wedding. Miles has asked Zane to help with the planning of the wedding. Felicity has been hired as the wedding planner for the wedding. Zane and Felicity disagree on almost every aspect of the wedding and reception at the beginning of the story, including the location for the reception. Zane encourages Felicity to have fun with the planning of the wedding and in turn they have fun with each other.

Whew...my heart is still feeling warm and gooey. This is the 2nd book of a new novella trilogy from Lily Everett. I fell in love with this author when she wrote foodie romances as Louisa Edwards and I have been super impressed with her new genre. I had the opportunity to receive a copy of the first novella from Net Galley and I loved it. When the opportunity to read the 2nd book came up, I jumped at it. I must say, this one was even better than the first story, The Fireside in , and I really enjoyed the first one. We are still experiencing the same few weeks leading up to Miles and Greta's wedding, only this time, we are seeing the events from Zane's perspective. Zane is the wild, fun, incredibly good looking guy who runs a premiere event company. His role in the wedding is to assist Felicity, the wedding planner, in planning the reception. The sparks flew from the first page and never stopped. I loved Leo in the first book, but Zane gave him a run for his money. I think what tipped me in favor of this story, was Felicity. She was a well-developed and relatable character. Both Zane and Felicity showed remarkable depth and intimacy for such a short story and I soaked up every last bit of it. These books are very quick reads, which make them the perfect escape. Sanctuary Island is turning out to be a very magical place indeed and I can't wait to read the full-length stories. I think these short novellas are a fantastic way to introduce readers to the island. I, for one, can't wait for Cooper's story.

Zane's story is Book Two in the Billionaire Batchelors series by Lily Everett and it has made me love this author even more! Zane is quintessential billionaire playboy, used to getting whatever he wants, regardless of the price. If its thrilling, he wants to do it. After overcoming a childhood tragedy, Zane has always lived life to the fullest. But will meeting Felicity on Sanctuary Island make him realize that love can be as thrilling as any thing else in life?
Felicity has always been the responsible one. One huge mistake when she was young made her realize just how responsible she needs to be if she wants to succeed. When she is paired off with Zane in planning the wedding and reception for his friend Miles' wedding, she immediately is wary of billionaire playboy who is her exact opposite.
Their chemistry is immediate and their characters compliment each other perfectly. I love how the author really showed how good these two were together and grew as a couple. When you find out about Zane's large secret, the way Felicity handles it just shows how perfect she is for them. But when they reach a bump in the road and Felicity pulls away, Zane fights against his feelings for her. He has never been one to settle down but once he realizes Felicity is the one he wants by his side, the way he wins he back took my breath away.
I am growing to love this author more and more with every book that I read by her. She manages to still give characters great chemistry that we can watch grow in only a novella. Not every author can do that. I look forward to reading more from her!!

Billionaire, Miles Harrington (Island Road), is getting married and has laid a wager to three of his fellow Billionaire friends. The prize? His custom helicopter and restricted access to the helipad at the Biltmore Club.
Each friend is asked to help with the wedding process is some capacity, now they have 4 weeks on the island to make it happen.
Bonfire Beach is the second novella in the series.
Zane is the billionaire playboy entertainment mogul of the three bachelors. He's all about the party and fun times, but that's only on the surface and only as a result of some deep-seeded childhood guilt and trauma. He's been tasked with helping to make the reception party fun and memorable.
Felicity landed the slot of wedding planner and it's her first major gig for her new upstart business. Knowing this wedding could make or break her future in the business, she takes this job very serious. Too seriously, if Zane has anything to say about it. But the ideas coming from Zane absolutely horrify her. A disco ball and live heavy metal band? Fireworks? These two will have to work together to remember that the event should be a reflection of the newlyweds and find a compromise that suits them all.
I am betting that each of you will find the course of your life forever altered by your trip to Sanctuary Island. In fact, I'm wiling to bet each of you will find love there. -- Whoever is still single and unattached by the time I march down the aisle gets the helicopter.

3.5 out of 5 stars
Oh, I liked this second installment in this the Billionaire Bachelor series! It’s a sweet little romance set at Sanctuary Island, where Zane Bishop, the groom’s best friend and Felicity Carlson, wedding planner meet. In book one of the series, the groom, Miles Harrington has bet his friends that they will come to Sanctuary Island and find love. Of course, Zane is adamant that he won’t fall, until he meets Felicity Carlson and there’s an immediate connection.
Felicity wants to plan a romantic wedding and Zane is thinking of a club-type bash. In the process of working out the details of the wedding together, they open up and discover secrets about each other that bring them closer. But when Felicity doesn’t see any hope for a long-term relationship with Zane, she breaks it off and ends up miserable.
Turns out that Zane really does know about creating a romantic wedding, setting up a very charming HEA for these two.
This was a nice little read when you are looking for a romantic novella. Although it’s fairly tame, the lack of explicit sex did not hinder the telling of the story and sets a really nice tone throughout the story. So if you are looking for a short, easy, romantic read, this may be for you.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review, so here it is. Well it is time for friend number two in the bet to try and not fall in love to win Mile's helicopter and private landing at the club. Zane Bishop is in charge of the party decorations and finds himself meeting the wedding planner Felicity Carlson. He loves her fire until she finds out who he is and then she treats him like everyone else. The billionaire play-boy who owns an entertainment company and several night clubs. When the sparks fly between them, Zane thinks that Felicity needs more fun in her life. How do you work with someone who thinks the very opposite of what you do? Felicity can't make Zane understand that Greta and Miles wants romance, not flashy, rock-n-roll and disco balls at the reception. After trying to work together for a few weeks, Felicity gives up and tells Zane he can handle the reception and she will handle the wedding. They are both miserable. Can they come to terms with there feelings for each other? Will Felicity leave Sanctuary Island with a broken heart? Or will she break down the walls around Zane's heart? Will Zane give in to her? I am loving this series and can't wait for book 3 to see what Cooper has in store for him. The Billionaire Bachelors are Fireside Inn, Bonfire Beach (due out Jan. 14) & Lantern Lake (due out Jan. 21) So if you are looking for a great story line, then this one is for you. I am loving it!

It is official, I have become a Sanctuary Island groupie. So much so that once I finish reading this series, Billionaire Bachelors, I am going to begin the earlier published Billionaire Brothers trilogy. The Billionaire Bachelors series of novellas is about three single billionaires, Leo, Zane and Cooper, who happen to find love on the magical island of Sanctuary Island. Their good friend Miles fell in love on the island and is now getting married.
This story focuses on entertainment mogul Zane Bishop and wedding planner Felicity Carlson. Miles has asked Zane to assist Felicity with the wedding details while on the island. As Zane and Felicity spend time together, one thing leads to another and they begin to fall in love. Zane shows the tightly wound Felicity how to let go and have fun. Felicity is able to get Zane to understand and accept his past, which allows him to experience the world in a whole new light.
I teared up a time or two while reading, so you may want to have some tissues handy. If you are in the mood for a sweet romance with genuine and touching characters, give this book a gander. Bonfire Beach is the second novella in Billionaire Bachelors series and I can't wait to read the third, Lantern Lake, which will be released on January 21st.

Bonfire Beach is the second of the e-novellas about the Billionaire Bachelors and Sanctuary Island. This time around, the hero is Zane who has made his millions with record company deals and nightclubs. Felicity is the original wedding planner for Miles and Greta's wedding which all three novellas are centered around. Miles has asked Zane to help the wedding planner with the wedding. I know that the two are not supposed to get along, but did not feel the sparks with this couple. I realize that novellas are very short and so the romance has to happen quickly, but I did not get the same feeling as I did with the first book. I guess I really didn't feel much for either the hero or heroine. Now having said that, the story was fun, and I love this journey we are getting to go on revolving around Miles and Greta's wedding. Because I did not feel any particular emotion about this couple does not mean I wouldn't want to read the story. It just means this couple did not excite me the way the first book did. I still give it 4 stars for being a very good read!

This is the second novella in the Billionaire Bachelor series. In the previous book, The Fireside Inn, Miles made a bet with his friends that they would all find love on Sanctuary Island. This book features Zane and Felicity who really are two complete opposites. Zane has gone through life never taking anything seriously, while Felicity spends her life trying to make up for her college years when she spent too much time having fun. Even though there is a connection between the characters, overcoming their personality differences and personal baggage might just prevent them from having anything other than an island fling. However, the magic of Sanctuary Island has once again prevented Zane from winning the bet. Looking forward to the next book which will feature the third friend Cooper. Cooper still has the foolish idea that he will win the bet now that his friends have fallen!
January 11, 2014
Well Bonfire Beach was a bit more than I expected in some ways and less in others. It was a faster love story than The Fireside Inn but the hero was a bit more playboy type and even though I loved the story it was mixed bag of getting to know each other but a touch of "Love At First Sight" thrown in to move things along.
Zane is a party animal of sorts who lives life to the fullest but there are reasons for his relentless lifestyle. Felicity is a bit buttoned up type that is that way because of a solid work ethic and some past mistakes that came with hard learned lessons.
They make a great pair and the ending while amazing was a bit abrupt but I understand that as with the first trilogy, the author will tie up all loose ends in the final book.
So from where I sit this still has the look of a 5 Star romance trilogy if the last book Lantern Lake is as good as I expect it to be, this is just good comfort reading and it does exactly what it is supposed to do but I can't wait for the last book to tie it all together and see what Lily Everett has in store for Cooper.

Zane has been tasked with helping with the ceremony and reception and he has decided it has to be fun. He walks into the location for the ceremony and starts to tear things apart. Felicity is the wedding planner the happy couple hired and is hoping that creating a romantic dream wedding for Miles and Greta will earn her many a new client. Unfortunately her romantic dream wedding does not fit into Zane’s fun ceremony ideas.
This story seemed too short for me. I think more pages needed to be devoted to their relationship. Zane and Felicity both have painful elements in their past that at first they wanted to keep guarded, but eventually shared. Their relationship did not seem as deep as Leo and Serena’s in the first installment. I questioned whether they would have a HEA.
My favorite part in the novella was Zane’s time with Cooper who is the bachelor of the third installment. That scene stirred my interest in his novella.

Romantic novella. Lots of sexual tension between hero and heroine!! Felicity Carlson owns Dream Day Wedding Consultants. She's been hired to plan the most romantic, dreamiest wedding ever, for billionaire Miles Harrington and his fiancée Greta, on Sanctuary Island. Felicity is shocked when she finds out that Zane Bishop, billionaire groomsman of Miles, has offered to help his friend by planning the most fabulous wedding & reception of a lifetime. He immediately tries to bulldoze over Felicity's plans, but she's not standing for that! As they work together on decorations, and seek the perfect location for the reception, bad memories from Zane's past are revealed that put a wedge in between him and Felicity. Felicity takes over the wedding ceremony details, and Zane the reception on the beach. A bonfire on the beach brings the lovers back together forever. Satisfying ending.

I was lucky enough to get a review copy from the publisher through NetGalley. I'm a huge fan of Lily Everett and want to go visit Sanctuary Island...especially if Zane is there.
I loved Zane and Felicity as a couple. They seem to be so opposite to one another, yet worked so well for me. Zane is pretty free spirited and Felicity is pretty by-the-book, each because of something from their past. The chemistry was amazing between the two of them and I was cheering for them to find a way to get past their differences.
There were a couple of emotional, tissue required scenes for me in this book, as well as many laugh out loud funny scenes. I loved the romance of this book, even when Zane was turning up his nose at the very idea of romance. I love books that pull many emotions from me, and Ms. Everett totally delivered with this book.

Bonfire Beach is the 2nd book from the series.
We get to see how Zane finally meets his perfect match, Felicity.
Can the determined bachelor open up his heart to let love in or is he willing to let her walk away because he doesn't believe in love. Zane believes in living life to it's fullest without letting feelings come into play.
While Zane and Felicity's story was enjoyable to read I was left wishing we got a little more as I found the ending a little rushed.
If you're looking for a quick romantic read I suggest you pick up The Billionaire Bachelors series.
They're single, they’re rich, and now these three billionaire bachelors are heading to Sanctuary Island to attend their friend Miles’ wedding.

I have loved this series and the previous one so much. They are very sweet love stories, with the characters finding love when they were least expecting it and convinced they wouldn't find it. The timeframe is very short but it still works. There is a lot of love at first site, denial of love and first site and plenty of baggage but it all seems to work really well here. This is very similar to the previous series, not only in setting but also in the characterizations. The characters all have issues but realize together they can work it out. It's full of hope that everything will work out the way it should, and as a reader, the way I want it to so who wouldn't like that! I cannot wait to read the next/last book in this series, I've really gotten attached to all of the characters.

This is the 2nd book in Lily's Billionaire Bachelors series. Miles has 3 best friends and a bet with them. Miles is getting married and are part of setting up the wedding and reception. The last one still single gets his helicopter and pad at their Club. Zane is expected to set up the wedding and reception. Felicity is also to prepare the wedding and reception. All I can say is "Opposites"! Zane owns Clubs, recording studios and rock bands plus he has an Events for parties for the rich and famous. Each has a life changing secret and the grit to make this wedding their own way. This was a fun novella to read with each of them trying to one up the other. Lily's characters are awesome. They have their own faults and work around them. I love this series and hope you will too.

Bonfire Beach: The Billionaire Bachelors is book 2 in this series of novellas following the Billionaire Brothers Series. While these are short, they also are good. I love the idea for these latest stories of the three friends helping with Miles’ (Billionaire Brother) wedding and the bet to see who remains single. In fact, I enjoyed Zane’s and Felicity’s story even more than the first. Ms. Everett writes emotional and strong but still sweet and tender stories. She does a marvelous job with the opposition yet attraction thing going on between Zane and Felicity. Wonderful afternoon read. Can’t wait to see how the last friend of miles, Cooper falls.

Bonfire Beach is the second in a series and once again, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. A bet connects the three stories in this trilogy. The premise has been done before, but Lily Everett provides a fresh take on it and I am thoroughly enjoying her work. Ms. Everett has created a wonderful world and populated it with wonderfully diverse engaging characters. Her writing voice seems to be happy and I appreciated that. It was a light easy read, and it contains everything I look for in a romance including a satisfactory happily ever after. I am looking forward to the next installment.

Once again Everett gives readers sympathetic characters and a strong story line. Even though she doesn't have very many pages, she still managed to make me laugh and sigh and cheer. Both Zane and Felicity are intriguing, with heartrending pasts that had me tearing up a little, but are so charming and fun when they butt heads. Bonfire Beach is amusing and tender and realistic and warm and … well, let’s just say you gotta read it.

Another one gets bitten by the love bug. Crazy fun Zane the media mogul gets paired with Felicity the wedding planner to bring about the dream wedding and reception for Miles and Greta. They are Yin and Yang, with ideas so opposite on what should be done it seems that nothing will get agreed upon for the wedding. Compromise and love brought this short story to a very happily ever after. Good short feel good book.
