This week's Six Sentences comes to you from my Christmas contemporary romance/romantic-comedy, Unwrapping Scrooge - one of my favourites, I admit.
While usually surrounded by an air of casualness, this morning's attire was altogether too unsettling. She couldn't say it was revealing, exactly. His cotton T-shirt, jogging pants, socks, slippers and cozy velour dressing gown in a deep chocolate brown were actually more than most people wore outside in warm weather. Yet, his smell was making it hard for her to concentrate, with the underlying scent of sandalwood now mixed with the musky hint of sleepy, warm male—an aroma wholly unknown to her. The sight of his beautiful, long reddish hair misbehaved from the pillow was a bit much for her nerves this first morning. Thank heavens he was at least wearing his glasses, so that one barrier of normalcy was maintained.Unwrapping Scrooge is a novella published by Decadent Publishing, and is available from B&N and Amazon, as well as on Smashwords, etc, and has garnered positive reviews from Coffee Time Romance, Seriously Reviewed, and Sizzling Hot Book Reviews, among others. Heat level: Sensual.

LOL! Love the visuals and last line. Fun Six!
Thanks! I love my nerdy hero in this one. :)
Delicious scene. Makes me want to give the guy a big hug.
I love that your hero wears glasses! No one does that. (everyone seems to have 20-20 vision in fiction.)
@Sandy - It's the bathrobe. It makes him extra cuddly.
@Suzie - I know! He's a novelist, so that felt right! All that squinting at words, you know. Besides, I like it when a guy is "when the glasses come off, watch out, rawl!" Kale, the male lead here, is like that. *giggle*
Thanks so much, both of you, for your comments!
Ohh, love it! fantastic six there, musky hint of sleepy, warm male,mmmm sounds delish.
;)
Great descriptions! Lovely six
Thanks, Rawiya! This book got lost in the shuffle of summer a bit, promo-wise, but I do like it a lot. I decided I need to show it more love. :)
Here's the "blurb" for this book, by the way, if anyone is interested:
Bestselling author Kale McKinnon is a modern Scrooge - eccentric, misanthropic and reclusive, made bitter by the coldness of his wealthy family. But when optimistic Canadian graduate student Molly Gillis visits Oxford and invades his space, he realizes Christmas is about to change for him forever. But can he make her stay, and force himself to un-Scrooge enough to be the right man for her?
INteresting that wearing glasses define being normal in the case.
Yes. I suspect he's one of those people where, when you see them without glasses, they seem like vaguely familiar strangers, because he wears them so religiously throughout the book.
Love, love, love the description of him (and her reaction). Perfect for the Christmas spirit!
Thanks, Karysa!
Very nice description :) Detailed, but not overloaded.
