Love Hard by Louise Bay - ARC Review & Release Blitz



In my world, love comes with a rulebook.

Marry the right girl. From the right family. With the right last name.

I’m Jack Alden—the only son of the Alden dynasty. The kind of New York family that’s been around since ships were made of wood and fortunes were built on steel.

My mother’s been trying to find me a “suitable” wife for years.

So naturally, I fall for a woman who couldn’t care less about any of it.

Iris Williams.

I first saw her at the New York City Ballet—crying in the stalls like the music had cracked her open. She didn’t know who I was. She wasn’t performing for anyone. She was just… real.

One night with her, and I remembered what it felt like to actually breathe.

Then she disappeared.

Months later, I find her again—on a fruit farm in the middle of Colorado, hurling raspberries at me like she’s auditioning for a food fight. Turns out, Iris is smart, stubborn, and not remotely impressed by a billionaire with a trust fund and an overbearing mother.

She makes me laugh.

She makes me think.

And for the first time in my life, I want something that isn’t written in my family’s history books.

But old money comes with old rules.

And loving Iris means breaking every single one.

They say you can’t choose where you come from.

Maybe not.

But you can choose who you fight for.

And this time, I’m choosing her.

Because when it comes to Iris Williams—I don’t just love.

I love hard.




Jack and Iris are from very different worlds and it's this that both draws them together and causes them to think that they won't be able to stay together.

I connected with both of them, with the desire to be loyal to your family, with giving up things you want for things that you want for your family, and I loved that even though they were from very different worlds, they had the same problems and the same things pulling them away from one another.

The story drew me in, and I was invested in the characters getting their happy ever after. A
dd in their fantastic chemistry and connection and I was engaged in this one from the beginning of the story.

I have enjoyed all of the books in this series and it's nice to see Jack get his happy ending and to see characters from the other books also having theirs.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
