I think I might have read an e-book, without the foreword. I remember getting a wee way in and starting to think "waaaaaait a minute, the descriptions of these characters and their FEELINGS are very familiar" and doing some googling to find reviews or an interview or something which confirmed my suspicions. And it's not just generic "Sherlock Holmes" fic, it's very definitely "Sherlock the TV show" fic.
The thing is, I LOVE Sherlock fic, and while on the one hand I was kind of tickled pink to find actual slash fic in a published book by an author I love, it also meant that it wasn't a fantastic Phryne story.
It might have worked better as a bonus short story released online or something like that.
