Stage Smart
(Work for It #8)
by Aly Stiles
My record label had one rule… and I broke it.
In my defense, “don’t fall in love with your producer” isn’t exactly fair when your producer is Val Andrews, a sweet, talented, totally genuine prince in an industry of egotistical frogs. It’s especially not fair when your forbidden crush becomes a constant temptation while on tour with a vengeful ex and an enigma named Chad.
All I want to do is make incredible music and show the world I’m more than a vapid starlet. But when a cryptic memo reveals a sinister plot to destroy my career, it becomes clear there’s only one person I can trust—the one they said I can’t have.
‘Stage Smart’ is a full-length contemporary rockstar romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #8 in the Work For It series, Educated Romance World, Penny Reid Book Universe.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
She’s on the Elite List. The only list I’m on is the robocall spam list to refinance a mortgage I don’t have.
That idiot is a drop of melted wax.
My Review:
I vastly enjoyed the sparkling humor found throughout, although I struggled with the spinelessness of the main character of Larinda. However, the brilliance of Ms. Stiles’s clever wit and the oddity and/or adorableness of her other characters kept me invested in her tale. I smirked, chortled, and laughed aloud during perusal. I am enamored with her creation of Val and Chad has never been more out there while still on point. I’m still giggling over such comedic gold as “Someone liquify me!” and “emblem of speech” and the ever-keen observation that “Nothing brings people together like belt drama.”

From angsty and dark to snort-laugh funny, Aly writes romance from her soul to yours.
Aly is a writer, musician, and terrible cook. She loves cats, hates selfies, holds a blackbelt in Kyokushin karate, and watches every documentary she can find. Her books (and music) stretch genres and feature emotional, angsty themes with gripping storylines that bring all the feels. The only things she enjoys more than shredding hearts is stitching them back together and creating vivid, complex characters you can’t let go.
Her novels have been nominated for an RT Reviewer’s Choice award, received a number of Amazon category bestseller rankings, and have been praised by some of the leading authors in the romance industry. The care and compassion with which she handles difficult subjects like mental illness and suicide has also been recognized by mental health advocates and actively promoted by multiple survivors and organizations.
No matter the genre or trope, Aly’s goal is always the same: to write with earnest passion from her soul to yours.
