Best love scene in HF?
[quote=""Madeleine""]I have so got to start reading this series![/quote]

On the island after they'd been on ship and hadn't had much opportunity to make whoopee for some time. Jamie wanted to go fast, Claire wanted to go slow and then when she was ready he turned tables and told her now it's her turn (to go slow).
I'm with LCW, I loved the scene in The Reckoning when Llewllyen and Eleanor finally met, they smoked off the pages as did Henry and Eleanor on their wedding night in When Christ and His Saints Slept.

Totally agree about Henry and Eleanor. As soon as those two characters came together you could feel the electricity coming through the pages of the book!

[quote=""Amanda""]EC: Both Jamie and Clare "out the window" and "in the barn" are in The Fiery Cross. The window scene is near the end. Just finished this book yesterday!

Yes, it has to be a scene out of one of the Outlander books for me, too. I remember the barn and the window episodes - mind you, that is the last book of the series which I have read so far. I still have Breath of Snow and Ashes to read.

I think I'd vote for Jamie and Claire's wedding night scene in Outlander.
Thank you all for choosing scenes from my books. I got the funniest feedback from people over Joanna and Llewelyn's wedding night in Here Be Dragons. One woman wrote me that after reading that scene, she went upstairs and "I gave my husband the best night of our marriage!" A male friend of mine confided that he'd been reading Dragons out on a boat in the middle of a lake and when he got to that scene , "I had to flip over onto my stomach very quickly since there were children on the boat, too." And Justin de Quincy, my medieval sleuth, was flattered beyond words when his sex scene with the Lady Claudine in Cruel as the Grave was cited as an excellent example of "angry sex."
This will really date me, but I remember being very impressed by the love scenes in Forever Amber, and of course when Rhett carries Scarlett up the stairs in Gone with the Wind. But my final vote still goes to Diana Gabaldon, who must need to write with a fire extinguisher on hand to keep the pages from catching fire!
