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.

Love Hard by Louise Bay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jake and Iris couldn’t have been more perfect even if I wanted to.
Their whole story was entertaining from start to finish. The love at first sight for Jake was just what the doctor prescribed for my first 2026 read. He knew obligations will come catching up to him, but wanted to try to make them work.
Iris knew heartbreak and kept telling herself not to let Jake near but the more time it passed, she began to dream. And when real worlds comes calling them, both were trying to do the right thing even when their hearts were breaking apart.
As said these two were the perfect way to start my 2026 and this is any indication how it will be reading wise, it’s going to be great!

THE FEELS! Listen, I’ve said this before many times, experiencing a Louise Bay story makes me happy almost every time, but this time, she went waaaaay above the happy into like Neverland or some equally magical realm! Seriously, I felt this story from the top of my head to my very tippy toes, and I felt it throughout every scene, circumstance, plot-point, sentence, chapter, page … fell me? It’s a feeler in the most brilliant of ways and I just need to applaud that! 👏👏👏👏👏
Every moment of this story was hopeful and uplifting, even the inevitable last minute conflict! I call it “last minute” because it wasn’t your typical “third-act breakup”, it was more an unavoidable circumstance that needed to happen based on the story itself. It could not not have happened because it lent credibility and realism to the journey. To be honest, every step of this story felt organic and very real to me. Even though I cannot fathom the life circumstances that both Iris and Jack carried I feel they are realistic to the people they are.
This story is 100% driven by emotion and once again, it was perfect for the story. These two were kismets and their journey felt destined in a very realistic way. I know I keep making this “realistic” point over and over again, but it’s one of the greatest qualities this entire story held from beginning to end.
Louise Bay created one of her best with Love Hard and I dare say it might be my top read of hers to date! So, go do the thing!
