Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. So the summary and title of this book really made me excited to read it. I expected from the summary that there would be a bit of mystery with it and there wasn’t at all.
The book was ok but there was just nothing in it that I had expected to find. I kept reading expecting something to happen but nothing did. This one just wasn’t really for me.

I absolutely adore Meghan Quinn's writing. This book was full of humor and angst and was just a fabulous read.

Any book by Meghan Quinn is a guaranteed good read!

A Long Time Coming is the 3rd book in the Cane Brothers series. I recommend reading them in order, but they all can be read as a standalone!

What you can expect: Best friends getting closer while wedding planning. Steam. Tension. All the feels for the MMC.

I wanted to love A Long Time Coming especially because it is a friends to lovers romance. However; the tension building up to where they would get together felt long and I became uninterested around the 60% mark. I wanted the male main character, Breaker, to get his feelings off his chest and them to live happily ever after. I laughed out loud at a lot of this novel though however; so I know it won't be my last of Meghan Quinn.

Friends to lovers perfection! I so enjoyed that there wasn’t too much pining like there can be with this trope. And it was a great conclusion to the series. Spicy and humorous as always too!

A man-in-waiting is available for their best friend when they are getting married!

Breaker Cane is a man-in-waiting.

He is there to help his best friend, Lia Fairweather-Fern plan her wedding. He will work with her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Beaver. Mrs. Beaver does not believe that the bride should have what she wants for her special day.

Breaker is ready for the challenge, and Mrs. Beaver isn't his biggest issue. Breaker's issue is Lia, because as they are working together, he is realizing just how special his best friend is. He has fallen in love with her, and nothing Breaker does is breaking this spell.

This means that Breaker must make Lia see him as the guy for her. This won't be an easy task.

This was a cute friends to lovers story. It was light while funny and just enough spice. The characters are well-developed, each with their own problems. Breaker is protective and sweet. I did find Lia insecure, which made me want to shake her! I also was tired of reading about the mustache! This can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you for the copy of this book but unfortunately it was a but too lighthearted and cheesy for me and I did not finish it

This was first read by Meghann Quinn, and I loved it! I've heard such great things about her book, and I loved it. I loved the banter, the characters, and the spice! So so great. I will be reading many more by this author and highly recommend this one!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for access to this ARC! This authors books are good but why do they always have to be sooo long???

Meghan Quinn for the win! This was such a fun new years read - I had another late night with this one, as I have to know what happened!

A cute friends to lover that’s a very quick read. Can be cringing but it’s enjoyable because it’s swoony and spicy!

Adorable and sweet. This was the perfect pallet cleanser with the right about of spice that Meghan Quinn always delivers. I love a good nerdy MMC🤓! Plus the friends to lovers troup was done so well! Tons of laugh out loud moments. Grab this one quick

Lia felt too oblivious to how Breaker felt about her but overall it was good. Some of the moments were just too cringey for me to 4-star love it.

This romance novel is a beautifully crafted tale that explores the complexities of love and relationships. The characters are well-developed, each with their own struggles and growth arcs, making them relatable and endearing. The chemistry between the protagonists is palpable, filled with moments of tension, humor, and tenderness that keep readers engaged.

Absolutely loved the banter in this and the transition. The angst was perfectly constructed especially coming from the other books and seeing their relationship dynamic from the outside. The build up was spot on.

3.75 rounded to 4 stars- I liked this!

Thank you Netgalley and Meghan Quinn for the #ARC in return for an honest review!

What did I enjoy?
💜usually friends to lovers is not my favorite but this was so cute! I loved Breaker: he was such a cute guy. Lia was quirky and funny. I think the characters blended well but Breaker carried the book.... he gets most of the credit.
💜sweet, very funny, and the banter was perfect
💜spicy scenes
💜slow burn
💜forced proximity

So what did not work out?
👾Lia was so insecure and needy... why does Breaker have to solve and do everything for you? Too immature does not equal cute. I feel like I almost did not want her to end up with Breaker if she did not get it together.
👾I can only read so much about a mustache
👾this could have been shorter
👾the weird moments where all the girls would hang and talk.... wont say more details because I do not want to spoil anything but CMON.

The hits just keep coming. Meghan Quinn seems to be doing well. Each book I read of hers makes me want to pick up another! This is a delightfully witty rom-com with steam which will be having you coming back for more.

FYI - This is the third book in the Cane Brothers’ series but can be read as a stand-alone.

I want to thank NetGalley, Meghan Quinn and St. Martin's Press, SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books | Bloom Books for the e-ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.

This is the third book in the Cane Brothers's series and can be read as a stand-alone. I've read the first and third and, while I'll go back and read the second, I don't feel that I missed anything in this one by not having read it. It's a friend to lovers romance. Lia and Breaker have been best friends since college. Lia's getting married and Breaker's going to be her man-of-honor and is running interference with her soon to be mother-in-law. I loved how the story played out. The flashbacks to the past added to the story and I loved the slow burn romance. I enjoyed it- I recommend the series.

Thanks to the publisher for sharing a copy. All opinions are my own.

Quinn does it again! I love this series and would be I'd read this authors grocery list if she published one. I always connect on some level with the characters and care about their lives

I love this series so much. I was so excited to finally get to Breaker's book. I do not know if I can pick a favorite put of this trilogy. Breaker is such a sweetheart and so protective. Lia is so sweet and funny. The story was so good and spicy. I love how the author writes. They always pull me into the story and I get so invested in the characters. Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
