A Long Time Coming: The funny and steamy romcom inspired by My Best Friend's Wedding from the No.1 bestseller

Product Information

Obviously, Lia has a fiancé when this book starts. I’m not going to spoil what goes down, but I am going to say for anyone curious that there’s no cheating. Things progress in a natural, authentic way between Breaker and Lia. This book wasn’t filled with angst or much anguish. (Well, maybe a little on Lia’s part.) It was a really fun, right kind of drama romance. I LOOOOOVE the pregnancy trope and I don't read nearly enough of it, so if you're looking for your next pregnancy trope book, THIS IS ITTTT. That being said, I did love it when they finally get together and the rest of the book was just flawless. They were so effortless in their relationship that even though it took no time to being just friends to head over heels in love, it didn't feel fake at all. They were just so right for one another! So reading this gave me the satisfaction I needed for the past 20 years 🤣(how has it been THAT long 😩).

I received an ARC of this title from the author. The excerpts are from that copy. I am voluntarily reviewing this title. I’ve dreamt of this, of this very moment, where I could own this woman. I don’t want it to end; I want it to last. I want to know that I can drive her crazy. Because it was not all bad. There were funny moments, parts of their friendship were cute (when they weren’t being dunderheads), Breaker’s dirty talk was on point, and the sex scenes were pretty hot, technically. Pity I couldn’t feel an ounce of tension between them. Even the forbidden aspect was lost because there’s really no edge to them. I liked his dynamic with the brothers and their wives, and I love a Bromance, but after a point even that got excessive and awkward. A lot of it was just awkward. Her initiation into the wives’ group felt totally forced and out of the blue. The cheesiness of it all has likely given me lactose intolerance. And I appreciate well done cheese usually.Ophelia thought wedding planning would be fun. But with her nightmare of a mother-in-law, she's struggling to adjust to life with a ring on her finger. The internal monologue in Breaker’s head had me swooning so much I almost melted. And the fact that this made me think of the movie “made of honor” made me happy. Sometimes it takes your best friend planning her wedding to realize you are deeply, unequivocally in love with her!! I really thought going into this that either of them had feelings and suppressed it when the other didn't seem to want it and so they spent 10 years in angst or hiding their feelings but NOPE.

Finally, way too many chapter in, h broke up engagement with OM and the same day or the next day sleeps with H (I think not all the way but some stuff happens)

Ten years later they are more than best friends, they’re neighbors and now Breaker has agreed to be Lia’s man in waiting. the slow 🔥. Okay. Listen. I know. I know so many people are gonna want this to be a fast burn. But. The way that it’s done here MAKES SENSE. Lia and Breaker have been best friends for a decade. For a chunk of the book, she’s with someone else. It needed to be on the slow burn side 🤷🏻‍♀️. Sure, Breaker could’ve pushed her, but he made sure to get her to FEEL 🥵 the delicious tension 💦 between them. It’s the little touches that had even MY heart beating 👀 and got lots of juices flowing 😉. He needed her to know that they are IT. This isn’t a game. They’re not just gonna move on. This is IT. And man… did I enjoy it 😋. There will be a third book in the Bourbon Series and for sure two spin offs, possibly three. So there is so much more to come for the characters. :) This book is EVERYTHING. I loved every single second and that is not an exaggeration. It’s adorably sweet, hilariously funny, achingly romantic, and it squeezed and tugged at my heart strings in that pleasurable, painful way I adore. I loved Breaker and Lia so much and loved the way the Meghan Quinn showcased a beautiful love and friendship with her quintessential magical touch. I laughed, I weeped like a baby and could not stop rooting for this fantastic couple. With her signature wit, irresistible banter and two characters you just can’t help but love, Meghan Quinn has once again delighted me with a story that’s wonderfully quirky and charming. I wanted to like this book. The banter was great. I could feel the connection between Lia and Breaker. I love friends to lovers as a trope but this book is not it.
