Look Smart, an all-new star-crossed lovers workplace romantic comedy from Aly Stiles, is LIVE in Kindle Unlimited!

Nate Hanover’s future was set. The perfect girlfriend, the perfect career… He’s the perfect man with the perfect life—until he lost it all this summer. Now he’s not sure about anything, except that no one can know the truth lurking behind his “perfect” facade. Especially not at this week’s high-stakes corporate circus known as Tele-Con.

Natalie McAllister has no time for games. After working nonstop since… ever, she’s one win away from the dream promotion she’s been chasing for years. All she has to do is land the Sandeke Telecom account at this week’s telecom conference and life will be perfect.

But when a chance encounter leads these strangers to an incredible night of intimate soul-searching, “perfect” might look different than they thought. With so much on the line, it’s a good thing they’ll never see each other again. Well, not until the following morning when they learn they’re competing for the same account, their firms despise each other, and a nut-obsessed enigma named Chad Smith is the key to their success. Oh, plus their forbidden connection is still fully charged and more off-limits than ever.

What could go wrong when the perfect night explodes into the perfect storm?

‘Look Smart’ is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #6 in the Work For It series, Educated Romance World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Favorite Quotes:

We bared our souls for hours, then fell asleep like middle schoolers at a slumber party. That’s strange enough. Even worse, we now have an entire army of forbidden closet-skeletons dancing around the room, making this morning’s sun way too bright.

Geez, if Nate were mine, he’d be in a vault behind bulletproof glass. The claws would come out if another person so much as looked at him lustfully.

Circumstances don’t define who you are. How you handle them does.

Yep. Pretty sure the only difference between angsty artists and business people is where they display their drama…

You’re just jealous because not even a mortician would pay to see you naked.

My Review:

I loved and appreciated this couple, they were people I would enjoy knowing and remained endearing and highly likable even when they were struggling. Each was required to navigate carefully in the shark-infested waters of their fellow employees while at a technology conference with rival firms. Multiple issues were deftly handled with thoughtful perceptiveness and sensitivity with an ample balance of clever humor and quirk. I may have barked a few laughs into my wine goblet. It had all the feels, and a spat of uniquely original skits and Nut Adventures of the one and only Chad.
