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. ( )
