A Long Time Coming is standalone rom-com novel by author Meghan Quinn. Dual POV with a HEA.

Tropes:
✔️ friends to lovers
✔️ billionaire

Lia and Breaker met in college through the SSS = Secret Scrabble Society and instantly knew they were kindred spirits. Although Breaker would have loved to ask Lia out, she asked him to be his friend.

Ten years later they are more than best friends, they’re neighbors and now Breaker has agreed to be Lia’s man in waiting.

They know everything a friend could know about each other, but helping Lia prepare to get married to another man makes Breaker realize he’s head over heels in love with her.

Meghan Quinn hooked me from the start with this story. Lia and Breaker were adorbs right from the get go, starting with her making fun of his ‘perverted moustache.’

Lia is fun and sassy, and although she gets a bit lost, Breaker is there to not only support her but also let her beauty shine. And OMG Breaker is going straight to my fav book boyfriend list.

Can a book boyfriend be too perfect? Well actually, it did take a while for them to realize they were in love with each other, and he did go out with a really nice woman Lia’s fiancée set him up with. But other than that he’s such a great brother, brother in law, friend and a deliciously alpha lover.

Breaker and Lia are great couple with incredible banter, chemistry and an incredible connection. Their romance was an engaging, sexy, lighthearted slow burn that I wish we could get more of.

It has of course a “Made of Honor” with Patrick Dempsey & Michelle Monaghan vibe.
