Long Time Coming

A Small Town, Single Dad, Brother's Best Friend Ranch Romance

By: S.L. Scott

Narrated by: Samantha Summers, Ryan Hudson

It didn’t take long for news to spread that Tagger Grange was back in Peachtree Pass. I found out even faster when I fell right into his arms—not by choice.

The barstool wobbled under me when reaching for a cheddar biscuit. They’re my weakness. Much like he used to be.

Rolled up sleeves and tailored pants have replaced the boots and jeans my brother’s best friend once wore. But it’s not just the clothes that have changed. His shoulders are broader and he’s broodier. Somehow, he's even more handsome than ever.

And seeing the little boy smiling at his side? My heart instantly melts. I can't handle Tagger as a hot single dad.

Since he has no plans to stay, I know it’s best to avoid him. But daily run-ins at Rollingwood Ranch make him hard to ignore, and even harder to walk away.

His heated glances warm my insides, his smile awakens my dormant heart, and one stormy night leads to crossing lines we vowed we wouldn’t.

But when falling in the hay turns into falling in love, I start to wonder if our happy ending is a long time coming. Or will he return to the city leaving me with a broken heart?

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, S.L. Scott, will lasso your heart and tie the bow in this Swoony, Single Dad, Forbidden to Date, Cowboy Romance that will have you falling in love along with the characters.

This was a super cute small town romance. I loved the characters and the narration was fantastic! I thought the narrators did a wonderful job portraying the characters. Samantha Summers and Ryan Hudson are new to me narrators. I loved their voices!! Loved the two epilogues in the end.

Cute, small town, single Dad.

This was a cute small town romance. I enjoyed all the small town feels. The cute bakery. The gossip that you expect from the people. I enjoyed the ranch and horses. I enjoyed Beckett and how he took right up to Christine. I loved watching Pris enjoy New York. I enjoyed that there wasn’t a huge third act breakup between main characters. With this being a brother’s best storyline I knew at any point Baylor was going to find out. It kept me reading to see when the blow up was going to happen. Because it always does. Thankfully it wasn’t terrible. A funny part of the story was what happened with the small town cop. Can’t wait for the next book.

Excellent story and narration.

Excellent story and narration! Highly recommend this audiobook to anyone wanting to listen to a story that flows, has humor, and is intriguing.

She finally gets the guy.

If you like ranch in a small town ran by a badass woman, single dad, brothers best friend, she finally gets the guy vibes you will love this book.

Pride (Christine) has had a crush on Tagger since she was a teenager. When his son reached for the same cheddar biscuit and she looks into his eyes, she decides to go for it. There’s only one problem. His life is in New York while she runs the family ranch and she cannot leave. Her brothers fled after a family tragedy and she gave up her life to help out her dad. Oh, and one of her brothers is Tagger’s best friend. There is no third act break up. This book was so good.

Should ne labeled book 1

I love both narrators. Especially Ryan’s raspiness when he speaks. But his voice when he’s just describing a thing versus when he’s speaking as if he was, the character is somewhat monotone. Like he could be reading pages out of a phonebook or the back of a medicine bottle. I don’t know how else to describe it but overall, it was a great story.
