About this listen

Free-spirited and easygoing Taylor Vandenberg left her hometown of Faircombe, Tennessee, as soon as she could, and in the twenty-five years since, she has rarely looked back. She wouldn't change anything about how her life has turned out—having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Very few things can hold her attention back in Faircombe: her sister/best friend, her precocious niece, and perhaps the prospect of riling up Brooke Watson.

Brooke has known Taylor for her entire life, given that her best friend is Taylor's younger brother. And a lifelong knowledge of Taylor means that Brooke knows she's trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and irritatingly attractive. Unlike Taylor, Brooke loves their town so much that she's spent her adult life dedicated to making sure it doesn't get swept away like many of the other declining small cities of the American South. Faircombe means the world to her, and she's willing to do just about anything to make sure it flourishes.

Even if it means working with Taylor, whose path seems to continuously be crossing with Brooke's everywhere she turns....

Contains mature themes.

Sweet story

This was a very sweet story. The two main characters were adorable, The town they lived in sounded very like a beautiful town. The plot was well done,

Haley Cass has written another instant favorite

The tug and pull of the main characters as they learned more and more about each other had me in tears through the entire book. I'd say if you liked Cass' past books you'd like this one but oh my god. The family and side characters are so well done, I could easily see other books written in this same town. You fall in love not just with Brooke and Taylor, but all the characters. I became so invested in Marisa(sp)'s crush on Savanna that honestly my only complaint is there just wasn't enough. I could've easily spent twice as long with these characters.
Just finished it and I'm just so full of emotion.
Anastasia Watley doesn't do the kind of voices you get from Lori Prince or other staples in wlw genre, but wow. After the first chapter I wasn't missing it. Absolutely blew me away with her performance. She does just enough subtle variations that with an auditory processing disorder, I had no trouble telling her characters apart.
Cannot recommend enough.

Great story

I loved Haley Cass other books but I have to admit I was hesitant to buy this book due to the length of it, then I saw it was Anastasia Watley as the narrator and I had to admit that's how I decided it was the right call.

I enjoyed this book so much, the characters are settled into their dinamics I feel and it is the progression of their interactions what makes you come back for more. It's definitely the time the author gives in between, while always keeping us on the loop of what the character is experiencing, that makes the story strong, and sweet and lovely.

Gonna miss these gals

As a fan of love stories of all kinds, I wasn’t stressed over the slow burn promise. But I can’t say it was slow at all XD it had pretty much kept centered around these twos affections from the start. Only at one point, a some hours near the end, was there a moment it felt like some of the introspective stressing drama of the problem at hand was weighing a tad thin, it was still a worthwhile ride. Most books I try to find at least around the 7-9hr range as my minimum. This rolled much the same, in all the best ways, only with us to get to know the girls a little more and longer. Happy to have listened. ^^

Beautiful Slow Burn!!

I love all of Haley’s books. This book is top tier lesbian romance. Nothing more to say, except Bliss.

Excellent.

I don’t think other books have a chance in comparison to this one. I enjoyed every second of this book.
Lori is a fantastic narrator.

Fun but few pet peeves

I enjoy sapphic romance of different kinds. Enjoyed many of Haley Cass’s other works as I did this one. My only real complaint is that it’s set in rural Tennessee and as someone who grew up in small southern towns and lived/work in Tennessee I found myself thinking that the characters who lived there would not say things and it lacked the southern charm and phrases. I just wasn’t convinced that it was characters that had grew up and lived in the south. The voice actor did a great accent and was helpful in bringing them to life.

Beautifully Written

I love Haley Cass' books, especially Those Who Wait. The character development of In the Long Run is unparalleled, heartfelt, and moving. My one dislike would have to be the length. This is an excruciating slow burn that can get a little repetitive, and the ending, because so drawn out, can be a little anticlimactic. Still, I enjoyed it very much, and these characters will remain with me for a long time to come.

Loved, Loved, Loved

Great writing. Great narration. Great characters. A story of approachable, likeable and complex characters whose differences challenge, confound and attract each other. Loved the book. Can't wait for the next.

The perfect narrator

I like Haley Cass' long long books, but this time I was especially happy to hear one read by this fabulous narrator.
Perfect for long drives.
