Now, this story clearly explains the series title.

Clever pace managing, it makes you want to know how it continues.

I want hold Tristan tight.

Funny, a few first brushstrokes to know the MCs. This series looks well.

2,5 stars

This is a short, but well written, action packed coming out story about a swat team leader and his lover who's been taken hostage in a bank robbery.

Very cute, light-hearted story. I enjoyed it much.



I enjoyed the two mc's Cody and Jayden and pretty much figured out that Jayden was the brother of Cody's future brother in law right off the bat. The awkward breakfast the morning after was hilarious :D

Jayden was a sweetheart that Cody underestimated. For some reason as soon as I started reading the story, I got this impression that Cody was a bit effeminate, but that feeling grew less as the story progressed.

Loved the HEA. Good job :)

I really enjoyed this book even if it was only 122 pages. I wish it had been longer. There was so much more that would have been nice to know about their younger days...and adult Landon and Trey were so good to together. What happened when they were young put a wedge between them, but they didn't let it stand in the way of them trying once they found each other again. It is always nice when we have characters that are adults about their problems and work together to iron them out.

The two sweet guys are now completely involved in "Their Happy Ever After". Tristan's despicable mother showed up and told him all about all her friends that have eligible, pretty daughters, how he was embarrassing her, and how she would never be able to look her friends in the eye again. If that was the case, then I don't know how she was planning to ask them about all those pretty daughters:). I still don't see why these two parts were not a part of the first book...but overall, it really doesn't matter that much. I loved Brian and Tristan and really enjoyed seeing them tell their story without anyone hurting anyone. Those that were supposed to be together stayed together...no one was totally miserable...just a really sweet love story. The length of the last two parts should get it at least 3 stars, but Brian and Tristian and the beautifully executed content earned it 5 big bright, shiny ones. Hope to see them again

Brian and Kristin don Halloween costumes and prepare to take off for Alicia's Halloween party where they met a year ago. Alicia surprises them with a Halloween cake and a host of sincere congratulations from people that were friends as well as some strangers that were going to become friends, but all happy for them, since the guys wouldn't let her throw them an engagement party. They have been busy with Brian moving into Tristan's brownstone, some renovations that Brian is making, and generally just getting to know one another more before the wedding which is only a month away. A proposed lunch with Tristian's father was a disaster going somewhere to happen, but in spite of the anger the guys refused to be discouraged or unhappy. Tristian made the effort...and Brian came to support him even after Tristian's mother had called Brian and asked, "how much would be enough for him to call the wedding off." I know, sadly, that there are parents like that, but when I think of my own son, I can't imagine how they could want anything but happiness for their child. Even if they disapproved on some level, surely, they don't disapprove of the kid they raised. Only a few more weeks before it will all be history and Tristian and Brian will be the winners of all the joy and happiness they deserve. LOL! My review was almost longer than the book.

Why are these books with such sweet, beautiful, lovable characters so frustratingly short? 200 pages just was NOT anywhere enough! What an absolutely perfect, fantastic pair these two guys made. We have Brian Townsend, an architect... with an instant, catchy humor and a sense of undeniable trust...and we have Tristan Blake...a NYC homicide detective that sees the horrors of life every day and in his personal life has a homophobic, wealthy family who don’t approve of his job choices or, and maybe this is especially...of his being gay. He is also trying so hard to forget the mess that Eric, his ex-guy... (can't call him a lover), made of his life and his heart...and most of all to find the courage to return Brian's unconditional love. There two very short 2nd & 3rd installments that I have now and will include them with this review later. They really needed to have been part of this one.

Read in the Best of 2015 anthology.

Well written and quite light hearted considering Dale's circumstances. I'd love to read more about these two.

A very mixed bag of 'best of' stories.

My favourite stories (all 4 star reads) were
Batteries Not Included by J.L. Merrow
Just My Style by J.M. Snyder
What's in Your Box? (Djinn #1) by A.R. Moler

FYI I've not read the Hat trick story as I've not read the rest of the story.

This may have originated as a bunch of short stories put together into one compilation, but it was really one solid story and novel. This was well written and I enjoyed watching Tristan develop his trust and love for Brian.

As one of the group who worked on editing and proofing these stories and helped put the anthologies together I might be considered biased, but these anthologies are definitely worthy of the 5 star rating.

This truly was a solid 4 star read for me. I enjoyed the characters, the bit of action that wove throughout the story and the building of the relationship along the way.

There were a few niggles along the way. A couple of things where I did wonder 'hmmm that's not very realistic, even for a story', but at the end of it, it was entertaining and enjoyable, just what I wanted.

I read this for the second time again last month so I could review it here, then spaced out writing the review. But I loved it to pieces once again. It has great action and is a fabulous FTL/GFY story as well. I can highly recommend this book to all M/M romance fans who like those and also the cop and hurt/comfort genres. You will love this one!

All 10 of the Inches of Trust short stories have now been combined into one volume for the very reasonable price of about $6. More information is available on the GoodReads [b:Inches of Trust Volume 1|20630434|Inches of Trust, Volume 1|A.R. Moler|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1390628751s/20630434.jpg|39917894] book page. My original review of the short stories is below. And, yes, I loved this puppy enough to buy the condensed volume too.



Another excellent hurt/healing/comfort read from one of my favorite authors, [a:A.R. Moler|3068133|A.R. Moler|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1284432124p2/3068133.jpg]. This series revolves around MC Brian, a kind and gentle architect living in New York and MC Tristan, a homicide detective who has been hardened not only by the death and destruction he sees every day on the job but by a cruel, thoughtless ex-boyfriend and malicious, hurtful family members. He has many, many trust issues and the series of stories shows how Brian and Tristan work on building trust for Tristan, which is his biggest hurdle to overcome.

I loved the story, I loved the characters, I loved the situations and the romance and the incredible sex and this series is an easy 5 stars for me. I rated the last book [b:Vulnerability|15773625|Vulnerability (Inches of Trust, #10)|A.R. Moler|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1343428638s/15773625.jpg|21483537] in the 10 part series 5 stars and put it on my favorites shelf, but rated all other 9 books 4 stars. The reason I did that was because of the way these stories were and are still presented. The first 10 page story came out in October 2008 and cost $2. The next 8 stories came out between then and October 2011 and were 10-20 pages long and were $2 per story. The final story in the series was released in July 2012 and was 21 pages long and cost $2.50. Now doing the math, that is an approximately 140 page novel for $20.50. I can see spending that over the course of the 4 years it took to write this, but as of November 2013, there is no option to buy this as a complete series at a reasonable price. That is a shame, because I believe that will deter people from reading this great story, because, honestly, it's not worth $20.

Recommended for M/M romance fans who can borrow this series from a lender library, otherwise I suggest looking at some of [a:A.R. Moler|3068133|A.R. Moler|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1284432124p2/3068133.jpg]'s other great stories. If/when this series is ever consolidated into a reasonably priced novel, I'll be sure to note it in this updated review for those interested.

I am a huge fan of [a:A.R. Moler|3068133|A.R. Moler|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1284432124p2/3068133.jpg] because she does such a good job writing hurt/healing/comfort stories (a particular favorite genre of mine) with characters who work in dangerous and exciting professions. Professions like military, police officers and firefighters.

[b:Coming to Terms|18759223|Coming To Terms|A.R. Moler|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1383853551s/18759223.jpg|26654171] is the story of Department of Defense operative Aidan Sterling who is home on medical leave after suffering a huge physical and emotional tragedy. He meets all-around good Samaritan and every gay man's wet dream, Kris Jameson, a building contractor and part-time bouncer and the two start a casual sexual friendship. The relationship quickly dives into a glorious healing/comfort extravaganza as all of Aidan's PTSD symptoms rear their ugly heads and Kris shows incredible patience, kindness and love to help Aidan slay his dragons.

Absolutely loved every minute! My only complaint is that it was too short. Damn, I would have inhaled a full novel of these two, with the same content, just fleshed out a bit more. But here I go, being a greedy bitch again. I am happy that Ms. Moler gave us this great story. I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth.

This book is perfect for fans of M/M romance and hurt/healing/comfort. I highly recommend it for you and think you'll really enjoy it.
