Bright Lights and Summer Nights

A Black Tie Billionaires Standalone

De: Kat Singleton

Narrado por: Savannah Peachwood, Lee Samuels

Summer nights can be full of surprises.

As a single, unemployed, and unapologetic twenty-five-year-old mess, I came to the Hamptons this summer for one reason—to focus on myself and work out my quarter-life crisis. I didn't come here planning to sneak into a private party and meet a handsome stranger.

I definitely didn't come here expecting that stranger to be Preston Rhodes—billionaire and superstar quarterback for the Manhattan Mambas.

And that's not even the crazy part.

He asked me to be his pretend girlfriend for a week while his family was in town. He needed a date for his sister's wedding, and I'd never turn down the opportunity to be spoiled by a rich man.

The only thing is Preston's not very good at pretending.

Now, instead of discovering myself, I'm spending the week discovering what life would be like with him. Instead of focusing on me, I'm focusing on how he looks at me, how he touches me, how he wants me.

Now that neither one of us is faking it, I only hope that we can hold on to what we have through the bright lights and summer nights.

From the author who brought you Black Ties and White Lies and Pretty Rings and Broken Things, comes an all-new standalone in the Black Tie Billionaires Series. Bright Lights and Summer Nights is a billionaire, fake dating, sports romance. It is Emma's book and a complete standalone. It is the third and final book in the series.

Very good story except the unnecessary angst….

Some spoilers nothing crazy. It could be me… actually it definitely is. The reasoning for the angst in the end….to me, is pathetic. The reasoning for the break up I guess to a 25-year-old might be considered something but to go back home to a nothing area and post interesting content ie candy salad (enough to get an nomination). to me is not feasible and I don’t quite understand why the same exact thing couldn’t be done with the love of her life next to her. Which by the way was her only quest in life which was to be loved. Instead, she needed to leave every thing behind, including her friendships in order to find herself. Ughhhh. Sorry, but this is just annoying to me and I did love all the books in the series. I even loved this one up until the unnecessary angst or maybe they just should’ve chose something different for the separation.

The Female Narrator’s Male Voice was Cringe

A really fun listen—with one glaring flaw. This story was cute, charming, and kept me entertained. The angst toward the end? Completely unnecessary and not very believable, but whatever. My real issue? The female narrator’s attempt at a male voice—absolutely unbearable. It was sleazy in all the wrong ways, especially during the dirty talk. Just… no. Thankfully, the dual POV meant plenty of Preston as read by the male narrator, who didn’t make me want to crawl out of my skin. Overall, a light, enjoyable listen (minus the cringe factor).

Love Me Some Preston!

I have adored this series and this one is no different! Preston is a green flag guy with a dirty mouth and I’m not mad about it! I didn’t know how I’d feel about Emma, because in the previous books I had mixed feelings about her. But I really liked her a lot! Their story of love, ending and new beginnings was done really well. Even thought their journey didn’t include each other, I love that Emma chose herself! That makes for one strong character!

Amazing story

I was hooked from the first chapter and I loved this book so much. I was excited for Emma's story and this book did not disappoint!

I love Kat Singleton

This book was a great listen. I love the way Kat Singleton writes her characters, Great story, Great performance. Great writing.

Hilarious Banter!

Ok, I think we can all identify with Emma and her desire to try to figure out what she wants out of life and what she's doing. When she literally falls on Preston, it is game over for these two. Their banter is hilarious, his family is the best (shoutout Gram), and their fake dating scheme ends up being hot as hell. Preston was the perfect boyfriend and I loved how his family just welcomed her into the fold like she'd been there all along. I was very annoyed at the 3rd act breakup, BUT it was redeemed with their super sweet HEA.

This series.

The characters are so well defined and real it made reading all 3 books a must!

Love at first sight

Swooned by Preston and how he is so understanding of Emma. Allowing her to find her true purpose is the ultimate grand gesture. Love what Kat did with this entire series

This entire series ❤

Who wouldn't want an overly obsessed man to fall head over heels for you.... This series was amazing. I'm glad to see all of the women to find their HEA with men who worship the grounds they walk on. This story was an awesome conclusion to all of their stories. Bravo!

Binge Read 100%

I'm a believe in love at first site, so this story was an absolute binge read for me! I loved the realism of the story, and not the typical, sack chasing, uppity, female with a rich daddy. I loved that she wasn't a football fan, didn't know or care who he was or what he did for a living. I loved that this character actually had self love and strength, but she just needed to discover for her self worth. It's a story that many women can relate too. Then there was the amazing Preston Rhodes! I feel in love with this character as well! He reminded me so much of my husband with his serious demeanor, and athleticism. The Way he loved the women in his life set the foundation for his future love. And Gram's was the cherry on top! I adored her punky character! I would have loved a grandma like her! Awesome listening and I can't wait to read more of your stories!
