In the very vast panorama of Sherlock Holmes pastiches, whoever says we don't need any more of those is, in my opinion, a fool. And I am glad there are authors lIke Atlin Merrick around, to prove this time after time, like she has done with this beautiful book. Every single one of these stories is a little gem, an inventive and incandescent what-if brought to life, to shine and show us that, as one of her titles say, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were, are and always will be Inevitable.

I truly love this book, but then, I love every single word that Atlin Merrick writes, so I might be a little biased...
In all honesty, this is such a marvelous read: sweet, fun, romantic. Every time I go back and read again one of the stories, I come back to reality with a soft smile (and sometimes with a startled laugh, that happen, too) and starry eyes.
If you believe that Sherlock Holms and John Watson belong together, this book is for you. Don't you dare to miss it

This was a lovely collection of short stories that details the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in a wide variety of situations. I only wish the stories were longer.

I got this e-book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
The Night they met deals, as the title says, with the first meeting of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. All together there are 19 stories, taking place all across different time periods and different first meetings. The stories do vary, but some things do remain a bit constant, which is noticeable if you read them all at once. They are cute, funny, often full of strange moments (it's Sherlock after all,an ordinary first meeting would be boring). I can definitely recommend this book, if you are in the mood for short, sweet stories, and since all profits go to the It gets better charity organization, I can definitely recommend buying it. All in all, I really enjoyed the stories.
