Between this book and the first book I love them, the excessive drama of the 2nd and 3rd book for this couple could be scaled way back. I know very few people who go through that much added drama in their life, I hate where the characters were led, and in this book the presumption of an affair. I just about put the book down and walked away.
This is the 4th book in this amazing series, and this is a perfect and powerful conclusion to Eva and Rob’s story. Rob’s life is spiralling out of control with everything he has worked so hard for is slipping through his fingers, while Eva is feeling lost and on a downward spiral. These two have challenges to overcome so they can be together. This is a well written story which is an emotional roller coaster, and this tale ties up the loose ends and unanswered questions from previous novels. These two need to communicate to heal each other and to enable them to move forward with their lives. This story is filled with angst, heartbreak, secrets, forgiveness, healing, and unconditional love. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Rob and Evie are supposed to be living their dreams, but that isn’t really the case at all. They may be together, but the happiness is starting to fade and old wounds are starting to resurface. But Rob is determined to not let love go by the wayside. He needs to be a better man for her, and help her out of the funk she has fell into. As well as make amends with all of the people he has strayed from as of late. It’s now or never… he must prove his love or lose the girl!
This all consuming love affair has it’s final chapter, and we find that Rob and Evie aren’t living their best lives. Things have started to go array for them, but Rob is determined to do all he can to hold them together. In this final installment we see their personal growth, their pain, their love blossom, and old wounds finally start to heal. I loved every minute of this journey with them, even though they tortured my heart something fierce… it was all worth it! The happily ever after I waited for all along finally came and I could not be happier with the outcome. It was a beautiful love story with many ups and downs that left quite the impression on my heart. Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my unbiased and honest opinion.
Angsty, heartbreaking, rollercoaster of a book. Fourth and Inches was a fantastic ending to Rob and Eva’s story.
Oh, my heart. Cuic takes the angst to a whole never level with Fourth and Inches. While Rob and Eva’s story has always been soul crushingly broken there’s a whole different level of pain here. The lies and secrets come out and their future is more in jeopardy than it’s ever been before. For two people who love each they certainly seem to want to crush each other beyond repair. While I’m not sure I would have described their love as toxic before this book there were certainly parts in Fourth and Inches when that’s exactly what it was.
While there is no doubt about the love they have for each other, the way they show it is beyond stupid. I thought I wanted to slap them before, it was nothing compared to what I wanted to do here. These two are broken and the only way they will heal is together. When Rob is at his lowest Evie comes to his rescue refusing to let him ruin his life. After months of being apart her love for him won out. While she still struggled with everything she had going on her love for him won. She refused to let him lose everything he worked for.
One bet completely changed the course of their relationship. All the things they were pushing under the rug finally came out and they each had to deal with the demons of their past. They also had to communicate. This is the one thing they never seemed to figure out. They each assumed they knew what was best for the other.
Fourth and Inches is once again real, raw and gritty. The emotions these characters feel jump off the pages and right into your heart. Love isn’t a fairytale. It’s a struggle and it’s painful. If you want the forever kind of love you have to fight for it and fight to hold on for it. When you feel hope slipping grab onto it tighter. Rob and Evie’s story shows us just this. The struggles and pain are worth it when you find the one.
The Moving the chains series is about unconditional love. While it most certainly didn’t always work in their favor the love they had for each other shined.
5 heartbreakingly beautiful stars for Cuic and this entire series.
A phenomenal must read series! Bittersweet feelings as this story concludes. Rob will always hold a special place in my heart, and Evie is the strongest, and most selfless survivor I’ve loved and rooted for. This book, this series will definitely have you feel all the emotions! Worth the fumbles, the Hail Mary’s into the red zone, never punting with inches left and praying for the game winning touchdown! Highly recommend this book/series. Must be read in order.
