A Long Time Coming by Meghan Quinn

Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5/5
Format: ebook
I honestly cannot believe how much I loved this book. I don’t usually like the friends to lovers trope, but this story was really cute. Shocking, because I almost DNF’d a few pages in over Wincest (if you know, you know). And even though there were a lot of cringey moments, it’s not a MQ book without them, I found myself laughing out loud a lot and at one point even sobbing from a really sad scene. Romcom books don’t usually make me cry but there were a lot of sad and touching moments.
Ophelia/Lia was a really great FMC. She started out kind of being a pushover but about halfway through she really started building up her confidence and standing up for herself. Breaker was absolutely amazing. Him pining for his best friend for ten years and not realizing until he caught her in a wedding dress? Swoon. No seriously, that whole dressing room scene had me in tears. I loved their relationship, and especially more when they realized their non-platonic feelings for each other.
The spice was insane too. I wish there was more but this was very slow-burn so it didn’t come in until the end, but the mouth on Breaker had me sweating. He and Halsey Holmes (Vancouver Agitators) have the dirtiest mouths even though they seem like the sweetest, gentlest men. Sheesh.
