About this listen
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 . . .

Well, it took a large percentage of the book before we found out the truth of that statement but...holy pickle! He was certainly a dirty-talking, commanding, kinky and possessive lover.
I loved the history between Breaker and Lia. From their first meeting at University to the memories scattered throughout their story, they had been through thick and thin together. Boys and Girls came and went but their friendship remained intact.
Watching Breaker finally realise what Lia meant to him was hilarious, sweet, and sometimes frustrating (because the ex and Breaker's dating drove me nuts). The transformation from friendship to more was difficult for Lia to grasp and I completely adored how patient—mostly—Breaker was about it.
Their date was the stuff dreams are made of.
Their connection was *chef's kiss*.
I really appreciated getting to see more of Huxley, Lottie, JP, Kelsey, Banner and Penn (pleeease can we have their books!?), Myla and Ryot. And the nod to Orson was not missed.
The excitement surrounding the other Cane brothers was the perfect addition to the story. And while this extended crew provided extra entertainment they also helped bring our MC's together, so the epilogue was well thought out and on point.
Their love story—as the title suggests—was a long time coming and oh-so-perfect.
Erin and JF did a phenomenal job with the narration.
Hilariously delightful

There are plenty of laugh out loud moments involved when the future Mother-in-Law is a socialite fixated on status and public perception and Lia isn't the most poised and delicate of brides to be. Thankfully Breaker is there as her Maid of Honour to back her up on getting a little say in how it all goes down on her big day. This premise provided a lot of my favourite moments within the book, both with humour and emotion.
When things finally click for Breaker and he realises he has feelings for his best friend, was a beautifully written scene. Meghan portrayed the moment with so much authenticity and totally captured the essence of that moment. Then what follows this for the remainder of the book is swoon worthy and ERMAGAH steamy hot goodness!!
There wasn't really a gut punch break up Meghan Quinn special in this story just a few hiccups along the way but I think that worked well for Breaker and Lia's story. It was great to have Lottie, Huxley, Kelsey and JP back too, for family dinners and plenty of banter. No-one does sibling conversations quite like Meghan does!!
Another positive about this book was the excellent audio narration by Erin Mallon and JF Harding. Erin I am a fan of and have listened to several of her titles, she is always a joy to listen to, especially in those awkward comedic moments. JF Harding voicing Breaker however, was a new to me voice. All I can say is I hope I get to listen to many, many more novels from him. He narrated Breakers character perfectly! He was so endearing and then at the same time the loveable hero we all crave from a good romance. One scene in particular where Breaker gives Lia some instructions as advice was very pleasing on the ear *wink wink*
Overall a fantastic addition to Meghan Quinn's repertoire and one I would revisit and recommend. A Long Time Coming has all the elements you need to tick off those friends to lovers trope boxes, check, check and check.

JF Harding and Erin Mallon give a duet narration for this funny, romantic story. It's full of humor with spot on comedic timing. Harding plays the perfect man with a voice that melts my heart. He adds just enough emotion to make Breaker so real! Mallon knows how to play a quirky Lia and easily falls into her character with the charm she has. I loved this collaboration and was happy to listen to it!
What a great story!!

This book is the perfect example of why I listen to Meghan Quinn books. Lia is one of my favorite heroines ever and Breaker is for sure my favorite of the brothers in this series.
My favorite thing about this book is the way they really cared for each other. Always backing each other up, sticking up for each other and really taking the time to be friends.
This book also brought plenty of steam and the humor you expect from MQ.
Narration by Erin Mallon and JF Harding is fantastic. JF harding is a new favorite.
One of my favorite Meghan Quinn Books

Oh, Mylanta this book is EVERYTHING. I am pretty sure I’ve said that about a few Meghan Quinn books over the years but this one, this one really hit home.
Lia and Breaker meet in college, that night they instantly become best friends. They have an instant connection that is so pure, and so unbelievably perfect.
Lia is so sassy, fun, and quirky - what was not to love about her? She never held any punches when it came to Breaker – the pervert mustache banter had me in tears.
Breaker is the perfect book boyfriend. He’s by my favorite Cane brother. He was so protective of Lia, challenged her, and oh so charming.
A Long Time Coming brought back a lot of fun characters that we’ve met through the years – My favorite surprisingly enough was Myla. The reprise of Myla made me see he a lot differently than I did in Untying the Knot – I no longer want to throat punch her.
The audio – Erin Mallon and J.F. Harding played off each other so well – this duet had me in stitches. Erin ‘s comedic timing is always spot on and a pleasure to listen to – come on she can read me the dictionary and I would hang on to every word.
J.F. was the huge surprise here – I had never heard him in a romcom – it was a very pleasant surprise.
This book was so much fun, so heartfelt, so swoony and romantic. I loved the banter, the wit and all the fun little things that make it a Meghan Quinn romcom. (Which means super slow burn with holy dry hump heaven!)
Breaker freaking Cane!
