A Long Time Coming

By: Meghan Quinn

Narrated by: Erin Mallon, J.F. Harding

From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn, comes a witty take on a romantic comedy classic, My Best Friend's Wedding. Steamy, laugh-out-loud, and full of charm, these two best friends heat up the audio while proving true love might be right in front of you.

Have you ever heard of a man-in-waiting?

Yeah, neither has my best friend's soon-to-be monster-in-law. Ooo, sorry, I meant mother-in-law. Nor has she heard of the term, what the bride wants, the bride gets.

With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands.

The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light.

She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

And before I know what's happening, it hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm in love with my best friend. Not just in love, but infatuated.

No one compares to her and nothing seems to distract me from that realization.

Not the girl I try to date while I help plan Lia's wedding.

Not her angry fiancé who thinks I'm growing too close.

And not the looming deadline of her nuptials.

Which means, there's only one thing left for me to do. Prove to Lia I'm the one she should be with instead. But with the pressure of her engagement, the stress from her soon-to-be mother-in-law, and the breath-stealing nerves running through me, I'm finding it a lot harder to claim the girl than I would like to admit.

Say a little prayer for me . . .

A true friends to lovers, RomCom perfection!

This friends to lovers story really made me feel like they had a true friendship. As the reader, you could understand how nothing had ever happened between Breaker and Lia. They were best friends who truly cared for the other. Despite this, you could also see how perfect they were for each other. The first part of this story was comedic gold. After Breaker realized his feelings for Lia, (which was the sweetest ah ha moment ever) it was RomCom perfection. This story unfolded like a movie and it was so great. I love they way Breaker and Lia came together, the way their feelings transitioned, and the way they proved their romantic love. These Cane brothers are something else, and if I had to pick one to keep, I’m all in with Breaker!

Erin Mallon and JF Harding added so much life to Lia and Breaker. Erin’s voice invites friendship. She has such great comedic timing. She is made for this role. JF has such a great variety in his tones that his soft and kind works, and then his bedroom voice more than works! Great Audio!

Very entertaining!

I loved this book and the duet narration was perfect. I felt the characters chemistry and could not stop listening. Worth the credit!

The best Cane brother!

These Cane brothers are amazing and Breaker has moved up as my favorite. “A Long Time Coming” is a fun, flirty, sweet and delicious best friends to lovers where he falls first and falls hard.

Breaker and Lia have been best friends since their days in the secret scrabble club in college. They have never crossed the line as more than friends despite everyone thinking they should. Lia is now engaged and Breaker is the man of honor. But as they plan her wedding, the light bulb finally goes off. Breaker has feelings, big feelings for Lia.

I just loved Breaker and Lia so much. Their friendship is everything pure, special and amazing. I loved that they were both self proclaimed nerds and bonded when they were young. Lia is so loveable and I just want her to be my new best friend. She’s so genuine that you can’t help wanting more from her. And Breaker, my oh my. He’s perfect. He’s the best friend a girl could ask for and when they cross that line? Absolutely delicious. Perhaps the dirtiest Cane brother and I loved that. Their banter was great and I loved the buildup to the big moment. It was a delicious tease and I could not stop listening. We get lots of scenes with the brothers and their wives which made me happy.

Erin Mallon and J.F. Harding narrated in duet and I loved listening to them together. They complimented each other perfectly and were the perfect choices for Lia and Breaker. Erin brought all of Lia’s genuine personality to life. And listening to J.F. dirty talk was such a treat.

Nerdy Fun♥️

Erin Mallon and JF Harding🎧

I'll be honest I still don't know who is my #1 Cane brother. Is it JP or Breaker? ( Sorry Hux you're my #3 )

Quinn has don't such an amazing job creating these fun stories. I'm so sad to see the Cane brother's go!

I absolutely loved Breaker and Ophelia's story! This is how you do friends to lovers!

I adored Breaker he was a total sweetheart and he was also a total SINNOMON roll! 👀🔥

Ophelia was great lead she had a very relatable personality!

Narration; 🎧

I'm a picky audiobook listener so when I say this was AMAZING it was!

Erin Mallon is a talent so when you have her in a book you know she's going to go above and beyond to bring all her character's to life and she did just that. ♥️

JF Harding is a new to me narrator and I'm so glad I get to add him to my list of auto buy narrators. He did such an amazing job with Breaker! & the attention to Hux and JP's voices was such a great touch. 💙

Overall this was such a great way to end the series!

Thank-you to the author for the chance to review this ALC!

Favorite of the series!

Breaker and Lia have stole my heart and I immediately missed them when I finished their story. These two had an amazing connection from the moment they met in a secret scrabble club that they have kept platonic. When Lia gets engaged Breaker is there for her being despite his dislike for her fiancé. I love the support he gives her while they plan the wedding with her monster in law even after he discovers he has feelings for her. I love the way she finally stands up for herself and realizes her fiancé isn’t the one for her.

Meghan delivers a hilarious, spicy friends to lovers that will have you swooning and of course will hit you in the feels. I loved watching these two fall in love and navigate moving from friendship to lovers after so many years. Breaker and Lia fit together perfectly and had amazing chemistry and it was impossible not to fall in love with these two! I didn’t want their story to end.

Erin Mallon and J.F. Harding narrate this story in duet and they were a great duo for Lia and Breaker. Erin brought out the quirky, nerdy personality of Lia. J.F did a great job at capturing Breaker’s swoony, nerdy and dominant sides. I loved ever minute of their narration.

Loved it so much

I loved this story, the whole series and this audio. all done so well.

Finally Seeing What’s Right In Front of Them

I’m a huge fan of friends-to-lovers stories and Meghan Quinn has given us one of the best. This is the last book of the Cane Brothers series and Breaker and Lia’s story had me glued to not only my kindle but also my earbuds as I was able to read and read this book. The excellent narration by Erin Mallon and JF Harding provided a wonderful immersive reading experience.

Breaker and Lia have been friends since college and they are each other’s ride or die even though Breaker has two brothers. Their friendship is everything and when Lia gets engaged to a man that Breaker doesn’t very much like she begs Breaker to be her Man of Honor and to help with the wedding planning with her fiancé’s mother who’s a real PITA! And the hilarity ensues with all the things that can go wrong do at every turn that they make. There are some real heart tugging moments too that took me by surprise too. One thing for sure though is their friendship is not one to be messed with and God Bless Breaker and his willingness to irritate Lia’s future mother-in-law… trust me when I tell you, I was snort laughing at times!

There comes a moment in the wedding planning that is literally the turning point for Lia and her fiancé that had me cheering out loud! And as much as Lia is leaning on Breaker, his brothers are pushing him to realize his real feelings for Lia which he’s never really wanted to admit to himself or Lia. But that’s going to change and he’s somewhat at a loss as to how to handle things. With the help of his brothers, he comes up with a plan and HOLY WOWZA!!! Talk about scorching hot!! When Breaker puts his plan in motion, Lia’s not really sure what to think, but she’s somewhat on board with it… although rightly so, she’s concerned with their friendship and the bond they have and not wanting to mess that up. She’d be devastated if she lost his friendship and vice versa.

As our H/h delve further and further into a physical relationship, emotions and feelings are revealed and there are some oh so swoony moments that put such a huge smile on my face. When this man decides he’s going after “his girl” it’s no holds barred!

I loved everything about this book, the laughs and crying and heartbreaking moments too. Their friendship is one that’s not experienced very often by people and the fact that they finally see what’s been in front of them for so many years provided me with so much enjoyment. I was a little said when the book ended. There’s a couple of secondary characters from previous books, one of which we’ve already read their story so I’m really hoping we’ll see these characters again in the future.

All Hail the RomCom Queen!

If you haven’t listened to Meghan Quinn books yet you are seriously missing out. No one writes Romcom like she does. Each of the Cane brothers are amazing, but Meghan saved the best for last with Breaker. He and Lia’s friendship is everything. They are both wonderful people. Funny, nerdy, loyal, and full of life. I love every single thing about their relationship and about each one individually. They perfectly complement each other. The witty banter is on point in this modern-day spin on My Best Friend’s Wedding and Made of Honor. The steam and swoon are out of this world. Breaker is a dirty boy, and I’m all here for it. Meghan sure knows how to make me blush and turn beat red at my desk. The dynamic between siblings and friends is always amazing. Meghan could write a book detailing one night of them all hanging out and it would be a bestseller. I don’t know how she comes up with the anecdotes, humorous conversations and situations, and sharp-witted savvy her stories contain. They are epic. Trust me, you need this audiobook in your life!

Erin Mallon and J.F. Harding were perfectly cast for their roles. Everything about their duet performance is expert level and flawless. Their pitch, pace, tone, and timing are impeccable. Their characterizations are spot on. This story is funny with some super steamy scenes. It needed narrators who are not only talented but could be emotionally connected enough to portray this story so smoothly and give it the justice it deserves. That’s exactly what we get from these two narrators. They perfectly embodied each character and brought them to life. They ARE Breaker and Lia. I highly recommend the audiobook version of A Long Time Coming.

Quirky cute

This book had me at “supernatural fan fiction”. Cute, nerdy, quirky. Best friends to lovers. Fun read.

Loved This

A sweet wholesome end to the Cane Brothers. Breaker had always been my favorite brother, so I loved this even more.
