The three friends, Zane Bishop, CEO of Whatever Entertainment and owner of three highly successful Manhattan night clubs, Lord Leo Strathairn, playboy younger son of a wealthy English Lord, and Cooper Haynes, who is a self made billionaire, are floored by the news and at first try to dissuade him and then ask if he is being blackmailed into marriage.

His request to Leo is  that he choose a special reading for the wedding.  Lastly he asks that Cooper arrange the honeymoon trip of a lifetime.As the three prepare to depart the Biltmore Club and Miles announces that he is taking his private helicopter back to Sanctuary Island the men come up with a bet.  Miles agrees to give the winner his helicopter and private access to club helicopter pad, something the other three can not hope to attain for years if ever, in exchange for their coming to the Island with him now.  They are to stay until the wedding four weeks hence.  The bet is that their lives will be changed forever and that they will find the loves of their lives before Miles walks down the aisle to say I do.  Each man is confident he will win and accept the bet.Lantern Lake is the third in the second novella series by Lily Everett set on Sanctuary Island.  It is Cooper Haynes and Vivian Banks story.  Years before while still in college Cooper and Vivian met and fell in love.  Coming from totally different backgrounds Cooper was devastated when Vivian gave in to pressure to leave him standing on the Courthouse steps with a license and return home and marry the man of their choice from their social circle.  When Cooper stands beside Miles and watches the bridesmaids walk down the aisle he is both shocked and angered to see Vivian as one of them.  He decides to seduce the woman who broke his heart and walk away from her as she did to him all those years ago.  Revenge is a dish best served cold because a cold empty heart is required for the act and heat can crack a cold heart.This is the last in Billionaire Bachelors Trilogy and as such brings the storyline to a close.  You will discover who, if anyone, wins the bet and the helicopter and pad usage at the Biltmore Club.  As always Lily Everett provides us with a story filled with quick turns and humorous dialog.  There is still the Sanctuary Island Novels for me to read and enjoy as well.  If you have not read the other books in this trilogy I recommend you do so even this story can stand alone.  If you received as much pleasure from this series might I suggest reading The Billionaire Brothers Trilogy as well.  This trilogy covers Miles Harrington and his two younger brothers and the women that heal and warm their hearts.  Thank you to NetGalley for selecting me to review Lantern Lake in exchange for my honest review.
