This is stunning. You've built a wonderfully turbulent, passionate, and emotionally investing romance without taking shortcuts or writing smut." - FanFiction.net user, @randomreader "Everything just slides so smoothly. You literally watch Sherlock develop into something new: a sentimental man. Now that is what I call good writing." - Guest user on Fanfiction.net "It's beautiful and so vivid; I can feel the characters' emotions. This is so suspenseful, I'm completely swept up." - Guest user on Fanfiction.net "Everyone is in character, there is a plot, and the romance feels genuine and characteristic of the pair.

The way you portray Irene Adler [is] amazing." - Wattpad User @SubaDev "Out of all the Adlock books I've read, THIS ONE is the very best." - Wattpad User @jeon_park131
