Best love scene in HF?

Jamie grabbing Claire and dragging her out to his aunt's barn and making love up against the wall. Oh yeah! sigh.

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!

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!

Will have to give some thought to my favourite love scene....

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.

And to think that some people think that HF is stodgy and boring!

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!

I'm with EC regarding Great Maria. That was a couple that rocked! I also remember feeling happy for Finn and Kathryn in The Illuminator and so their love scenes stick in my mind more than most.
