Product Description
Product Description
In more than fifty New York Times bestselling novels, Sandra Brown has captivated her millions of readers with stories of charismatic love and tantalizing twists of fate. In this classic tale, a woman is reunited with the man she has loved for years—and must reveal the secret that will jeopardize her chance for happiness at last.
He arrived out of the blue—a flesh-and-blood phantom from the past in a sports car as sleek and sexy as Law Kincaid himself. The world-famous astronaut was as devastatingly attractive as the first time Marnie Hibbs had laid eyes on him, seventeen years before. But she well knew the perils of falling for a ladies’ man like Law. And this time she had someone besides herself to protect. Law is determined to discover who is sending him anonymous letters claiming he’d fathered a son he knows nothing about. Showing up at the Hibbs’s return address from the letters seemed like a step in the right direction. Marnie swears she isn’t the guilty party, but when Law meets her son, it’s like a one-two punch to his solar plexus. The boy is nearly the spitting image of Law. Law can’t remember sleeping with Marnie—then again, he can’t remember much about his crazy past. But there’s more to it than that: Marnie claims the boy isn’t biologically hers.
As the tension between them becomes unbearable and the attraction undeniable, Marnie is forced to reveal a long-held secret...one that might cause her to lose both the boy she loves more than anyone—and the man she desires more than anything.

A 90's kind of story, cocky stud meets down to earth girl who has raised his son to be a surprisingly normal kid who is well like and has a great sense of humor. I enjoyed the arguments between Marnie and Law and the sexual tension! As good a book as Adam's Fall.

I read this book when it was first issued, have read it periodically through the years, and just seeing the title evokes for me all the emotions I felt the very first time. In other words, it's a keeper. It exemplifies series romance at its best, and showcases Ms. Brown at the top of her game. An emotionally honest and refreshing story, it undoubtedly broke new ground in the genre with flawed but sympathetic lead characters. Typical of a Sandra Brown book, the love scenes are highly sensual, even raw, but not gratuitously so. They make sense given the inevitable clash of the hero's celebrity-driven ego and the heroine's repressed emotions. A super-fast read, the ending is exceptionally satisfying in intensity and length, unlike many books today that seem to want to wrap everything up in one and a half pages, and leave you yearning for more. Kudos to a wonderfully written, timeless reissue.

I don't want to be too hard on Sandra Brown. If you know what to expect I suppose, "Long time Coming" will not disappoint. It's a bit like the stories writing in 'Womans Realm' only steamier. The kind of book that usually has a picture of an impossibly handsome man with a buxom and desperate woman clinging helplessly to his virile chest (can a chest be virile?). Formula romantic fiction, no surprises. Ms Brown follows the formula well, reflecting back to the presumably working class, thirty-something housewife, her ultimate suburban fantacy - desprately rich handsome hero walks into your life and forgoes beautiful beach babes for your charms. Nothing wrong with that. No spelling mistakes. It's just not the book to buy if, like me, you were looking for a more sophisticated, modern, less cliche ridden read. If you don't want to feel that you could have written the book with one or two pointers from the 'Mills and Boone' brigade, yourself. Marnie's son David almost breaks throught to become endearing, but is smothered in so much apple pie sweetness that your teeth zing. The story line just plain silly. But as I said, that's ok. This is a little book, that you might read if you found it in your maiden aunts bedside cabinate by accident, but if you don't go for cheesy, cheesy, double cheese burger stick with Marian Keyes or Jennifer Cruise instead.

Hmmm not quite one of her better books
I like the idea of a Long Time Coming with its heroine the only problem I have with this book is that after reading it felt let down. Read more

Great Book, wonderful love story.
Sandra Brown has done it again. I loved this story. Law sounded so intense and he sure acted cocky there for awhile, until he discovered he cared more for Marnie than he bargained... Read more
