I really enjoyed the whole series with the Cane men. . How many couples start as friends? Each couple must find their own way to get together.

I loved this so much that I have picked up several more books by Meghan Quinn since I read this a month ago. I really enjoy this author and will be reading more of her books in the future.

When I applied for this one I also applied for the first two in this series at the same time. For some reason I was denied the first two but approved for this last one. Super disappointed since I now have to read and review the last book without reading the first two. Hopefully I didn’t miss much but either way I don’t think I’ll bother with the first two anyway. This was so cheesy and sappy and honestly I’m glad it’s over.

This may be one of my favorite friends-to-lovers book that I have ever read. While it is based on My Best Friend's Wedding, in this version we get the satisfying ending of the two friends actually ending up together. On of the best parts of this book though has to be the fact that there is no third act breakup!

Breaker and Lia have been each others person since college, even as it is so obvious that Breaker has been in love with her this entire time while Lia definitely has some feelings for him. A classic example of he fell first and harder. Although Breaker has some hidden love, he doesn't necessarily realize it until Lia gets engaged to a total douche canoe and is asked to be her man of honor. This is when things start to fall into place for him. Through helping Lia with the wedding planning and dealing with an absolute Monster-in-Law, Breaker realizes that he is the right man for Lia at last.

The chemistry between these two is unmatched. They are truly soulmates and belong with one another. The spice is of course amazing as with all spice that Meghan Quinn writes. This book as well made me non stop laugh with all of the hilarious and outrageous wedding antics.

Thank you Bloom Publishing and Meghan Quinn for an eArc of this book in return for an honest review.

This was so funny! No ones makes me laugh and makes me blush in a book as well as Meghan Quinn. Breaker and Lia have a wonderful friendship and it's so fun to watch it turn into more. I love the dual point of view in this book because we get to watch it happen in real time. The evil MIL was hilarious and really quite evil. I love the friend group here. I love the hilarity. I just all around loved reading this one. It is definitely spicy and if you liked a well placed "good girl" you'll love this.

Just a heads up: This is number three in the series! I haven't read the first two and it will give you a glimpse if you read this first. It doesn't ruin them to read this first though, it just gives you a peek. I want to read the first two now.

I loved this heart warming story of two best friends finally getting together. I did read in order, after the first two book, but can definitely read as a stand alone. Great story, just keep wanting to read one more chapter.

A Long Time coming is a friends to lovers romance. This book is about Breaker and Lia and is told from both of their points of view. This book starts off with Breaker and Lia meeting when they are both in a secret group of playing games (ex. Scrabble.)

Now years later, they are best friends and neighbors. Lia's boyfriend proposes and Breaker agrees to be her man of honor. While he is helping her out with her wedding he starts to realize his feelings may be more than just friendship.

This book frustrated me at time. Lia wanted to have her cake and eat it too. She was engaged and got mad if Breaker was hanging out with someone else. I did like their friendship, but I felt like Breaker was giving more than he got. Lea lets her husband to be and her future mother in law to push her around as well. She doesn't have a backbone to stand up to them, and makes Breaker do it for her.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 3rd book in the Cane Brother's trilogy but can easily be read as a standalone. In book 3 we find Lia (Ophelia) and Breaker (no mention if this is his real name or not so just imagine a Muppet). These two have been best friend's since college and if you have any doubt about their 'best friend' status, don't worry they will mention it every chapter if not every page. As her best freind, Breaker is selected as the 'man of honor' in Lia's upcoming marriage to a person who isn't important so you don't need to know his name.

I found it very hard to ship the two mains when one of them was engaged to someone else for literally 65% of the book. Even if you don't like her fiance, it's still a weird line. And poor lia just didn't have two brain cells to rub together so all her 'this just doesn't feel right' and 'why aren't I happy' internal dialogues going absolutely no where will endlessly frustrate you. Also the level of absurd situations that Lia gets herself into remind me of that video on Tiktok of a grown woman saying she's a toddler then accidentally dropping a cup and the whole internet just being done with her foolishness. Like this person, if she really existed would not be able to function in society. The fire, the throwing of the blood AND the boob punch to her mother in law all in 2 days is too much. I would not be friends with this character if I knew her irl.


This is absolutely a slow burn but when the spice starts happening, it is objectively good spice. You just are so ready to be rid of these two that you don't bother investing in said spice.

There is really weird writing at times that forces the reader out of the story: 'uh... I believe I just blessed you hard with holy water' like that is a weirdly constructed sentence.

'I want to see if there is more emotion behind it or if I'm the one who is only feeling this way.' like that is a weird way to say that. You should be wondering if you 'are the only one who is feeling this way' like you don't *only feel that way*

These two finally find their happily ever after when a magic wedding dress removes a spell on breaker assigning Lia exclusively 'best friend' status. Poor Lia isn't brought along for the ride though so then you get like 50 pages of her going 'what is happening' and 'I can't date you, I actually like you as a person' Lia needed therapy not yet another fiance.

Also there are these little illustrations throughout the book that I know are meant to add to the story but there were so weirdly drawn and didn't match with the picture in my head that it really just ended up pulling me out of the story even more. Like trying to sort out if she's a red head with blonde highlights why is this person a brunette?

I'm giving this book 2 stars because while there are just so many things that will annoy you, it is technically readable and has enough to keep you captivated. This wasn't a DNF when I thought it was going to be so it gets a little clout for that.

I really love Meghan Quinn. It has been awhile since I have read one of her stories. This was so entertaining and combined with the audio was even better. I recommend it this friends to lovers romance, Lia and Breaker story was well written.

WOW! What can I say about Breaker Cane?! He’s the perfect combination of his older brothers. I’d describe him as a cinnamon roll alpha 🤣 is that a thing? If not, I’m making it one, just for him.

Meghan Quinn’s spin on My Best Friend’s Wedding was absolute perfection. Outrageously funny, deliciously sweet, paired with some sweat-worthy spice, this book was the total package. All the stars in the sky, for real.

Besties to lovers I'm all for it. But the BANTER and all the cool 90s/2000s pop culture going on?! OMG SWOON! Breaker and Lia are so damn cute together and that slow burn is intense but when they finally get their head out their asses and realize what's right in front of them it's well worth the wait 🥹🥵🙌🏽 I've read a few of Meghan's books before but this one was my favorite by far I devoured it in 24hrs. Definitely recommend if friends to lovers is your type of trope!

The sweetest and my favorite of the Cane Brothers Trilogy. I’d give this book a 4.25/5 stars; it has all the elements of a best friends-to-lovers rom com. I loved the slow burn and lack of third act breakup between the MMC and FMC. These characters felt the most developed out of the three books, and I liked that the leads from the previous two books were incorporated as side characters in this story. Breaker was the start of the show for me!

I stopped after the first section (4%) but it’s compulsively readable and I can see exactly why it blew up on TikTok. Definitely and easy three to four stars for the target, with five for the right readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC.

The best book of the series! Breaker Cane is now my favorite book boyfriend! A friends to lovers romance that has you rooting for them from the start!!!

I had to DNF this series at the last book as it was just so cringey so I will not be continuing with this book due to that

I love me a best friends to lovers story and this was no exception. It was a super cute story with a male best friend that is a great support system during wedding planning. This is not a stand alone it appears but all it did was make me want to read the others. Slow to get to the love epiphany but once the fire starts it doesn’t stop! I loved the banter and relationship between the MC’s and was so happy with the HEA and epilogue!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

The Cane brothers have my heart 💜

Breaker has been best friends with Lia since college. Ten years later here he m is helping her plan her “rushed” wedding. Her soon to be mother in law keeps getting in the way, and Breaker is there to help. Except the more time they spend together, he starts to see Lia in a different light. Soon he realizes that he is in love with her.

You will root for these two the entire book! I loved any and every Huxley &JP cameo. This was just the most adorable friends to lovers rom-com!

This was the perfect way to end this AMAZING series. I’m not sure I have ever been so sad that a book was over. The Cane brothers hold such a special place in my heart 💜 This is a series that will have a permanent place on my bookshelf and I will read over and over again! Meghan Quinn, you are the rom-com queen!

Thank you to NetGalley, Meghan Quinn, and Sourcebooks Bloom Books for this ARC!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

*Reviewed on NetGalley and Goodreads.

As a fan of this author, I was thrilled to get into her new release. I have enjoyed many books from this author, and am sure I will again.

Unfortunately, the premise of this one didn't resonate with me. I couldn't connect with these characters. I absolutely believe this is a "me" problem, and I am sure other readers will have a good read.

It happens. I received a free ARC from Netgalley (thank you). I wanted to immerse myself in their world, but just didn't completely get there.
Good reading, as always from this talented author.
I voluntarily leave my review.

Thank you Bloom Books/Sourcebooks and Netgalley for the ARC!

If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I love Meghan Quinn. She never fails to deliver on the humor and the spice!

If you like best friends to lovers, laugh out loud hilarity, off the charts chemistry and spice, wedding antics and forced proximity then you’ll love this third book of the Cane brothers!

A spicy romance that had me hooked from the start! I can sense that this will undoubtedly earn another well-deserved 5-star rating for Meghan Quinn.
