Kerrin – yeah, Heidi’s good with the heat eh? And Joanne’s is nice and romantic. Ahhh…being a writer is SO much fun.

Joanne C – yeah, I was thinking the use of the rooms would come into it!
And poor heroine…maybe she’ll have to borrow one of his shirts…;-)
I’ll pass on birthday wishes to Dr Jax. 🙂

Joanne P – I love the sweater! Of course he would give it to her. A twist on the Cinderella story eh?

I reckon he'd silently peel off his finest cashmere sweater and hand it to her to protect her modesty as she looks like an entrant in a miss wet t-shirt competition, and then leave without speaking a word.

She'd naturally find out who he was from the restaurant to return it...

Great research opportunity, Jackie!

Happy birthday to Dr Jax, too.

I love the suggestions you've had. I like the idea of heroine having dinner with a group of female friends, gets the wine spilt on her. Witnessed by alpha male who is owner of hotel. He offers her the use of one of his rooms, she doesn't usually do that sort of thing but her friends encourage her. Characters then alone in hotel room with poor heroine only clad in a robe.

So many options following the waiter's unfortunate spillage ;-)

Jane - well, it's all grist to the mill eh?

Abbi - Oh yeah, intentional spillage! I'm liking that also. So much to choose from!

Heidi - I dunno actually, that's a pretty damn good idea of yours. Whatever happens, you're right, no waiter needed.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to post the beginning here once I get it straight in my head! ;-)

Jackie, it's all yours if you want it... But I bet you can come up with something better.

To my way of thinking though, if there's champagne and wet blouses and naked flesh and a gorgeous guy in there, the waiter's definitely surplus to requirements!

I love Heidi's idea.

Okay, this is me and my thinking:

Why does it have to be an accidental spilling?

The heroine is upset. She sees a man from behind who she thinks is the person who stole something from her, etc. She dumps the champagne on him from behind (without seeing his face).

When the hero turns around, she realizes she's soaked the wrong man. Granted, a very sexy wrong man.

I guess that would kind of make it an 'accidental' spilling but you get the point.

Standing on rough ground at the open graveside at my MIL's funeral on Monday, all of us shivering in a bitter snow-filled wind, I'm afraid my mind did slide away at one point to how I could work it into one of my novels ...

You are not alone!

Heidi - hope you haven't copyrighted that idea because I LOVE IT! Lol!!!

Rach - I quite like the 'research' part of it. :-)

Maya - oh yeah, don't worry, it's percolating in my brain as I'm typing this.

Maisey - Poor Signor Cabbage! I have do have a soft spot for him. Yeah, I don't understand the braless stuff either - why would you do that??

Caroline - that's great! Perhaps she could spill champagne over HIS white shirt and then his nipples get all taut with arousal and then she offers to lick him instead. A couple of love scenes later, a huge amounts of angst, obligatory separation, then HEA. :-)
