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.
