I have to agree with Teresa on the Vampire! But I also likes the love scenes on J.R Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series! I bought them on e-bay after her blog on this site!

Is it a valid excuse to call in sick because the Chicks want us to re-read love scenes? I don’t want to go to work.........I want to read.

Lisa, yes, those are some of my favorite scenes.  Raspberries are good LOL.  I love so many of those scenes from your books, from Justin and Cecelia to Logan and Maddy to my faves Zach and Holly...sigh…

Teresa I have that one and the previous book in my tbr pile - now I want to stay home and read them!

ooh, I like these scenes. Some of them I’ve read. Some not. I’m going to be turning the pages fast to get to these scenes in the ones I haven’t read.

I have many, many favorite love scenes, but I think my absolute favorite was between Tabitha and Valerius in Seize the Night!

Oh, golly, I haven’t finished my tea yet...how do you expect me to THINK???

Um...the first book that automatically comes to mind is Jude Deveraux’s The Awakening...it’s been years since I read it but I do remember thinking that the scene where Hank takes Amanda’s virginity was one of the most tender--yet hot--love scenes I’ve ever read.

And ALL the love scenes in Elizabeth Lowell’s Only You.  I was afraid the pages were going to spontaneously combust. LOL!

Oh, now this is fun...my verification word is “inside” hee hee…

These are all favorites of mine; although, I’ve yet to get my hands on ‘All Through The Night’ and ‘Take Me I’m Yours’!  Can you believe it?  I hang my head in shame.....

Other favs: Eloisa James’ TOD and the priest hole.  I adore Rafe!

Connie Brockway’s ‘Hot Dish’.  Just two words: Steve Jaxx and fish house.  Okay, so that was five words.  I’ll add one more: HOT!!

There are far too many from so many wonderful authors.  Honorable mentions to Mary Balogh, Loretta Chase and Elizabeth Boyle to name but a few.

Oooh, I’m already reliving some VERY happy memories here!  How about the dock scene from Jennifer Crusie’s WELCOME TO TEMPTATION?  And almost any Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ love scene!

YES!  YES!  YES! 
And how could I have forgotten ‘Bet Me’ by Jennifer Crusie and Krisy Kremes.

Ah, Monday morning sex..why not?

-Lisa’s scene in ‘Suddenly You’ with Amanda and Jack in the carriage after the Christmas party, yes!

-Karen Moning’s “The Kiss of the Highlander” when Drustan and Gwen finally get down to it inside the Stone circle..

-Lordy, JR. Ward’s “Lover Awakened” between Z and Bella’s ‘needing’ deal..had to smoke a cigarette myself, after that one.

Hey Teresa, How was the book fair?

Yes, Santa, Krispy Kremes in a love scene!  Was there ever a more delicious combination?  And how about when he asked her to marry him in BET ME by slipping the donut on her finger?  I loved that guy!

Vampire love scenes are about the best around, because they seem to give so much more to your sense. 

In contemporary books I like it when the man is able to take charge so that the woman can let herself go and just live in the moment.

I love Dara Joy’s Knight of a Trillion Stars.  The whole book is very sexy and steamy.

I’m having student conferences all day today; one student just left, and the next is due to arrive in five minutes. What a topic to be reading and writing about in such circumstances.

Eloisa, I know you are not fond of math, but you can count--1-2? <g>

I love all those mentioned, and I have read them every one.

I am sure I will think of others, but one that always comes to mind immediately when I think of favorite love scenes is the scene in MJP’s Shattered Rainbows where Michael seduces Catherine. That scene is a wonderful example of tenderness and passion.

Another favorite is from Nora Roberts’s The Return of Rafe Macade after Regan wears the red dress and Rafe recites poetry. Sigh! I really have to reread.

Like MacArthur, I will return,

I know a love scene is good when I can hear the soundtrack in my head while reading. The first scene between Nick Gentry and Gemma Bradshaw in “ Worth Any Price” (Kleypas) was Enigma’s Sadness Part I . I just finished"The Vampire Who Loved Me” and that was Lullaby by The Cure. Usually after I read the scene and the songs have materialized, I have to buy the CD or put it on the i-pod.

I just ordered All Through the Night - the others scenes I’ve read and I totally agree !

These are books I pick up often and reread (usually starting with the more intimate parts which leads to rereading the whole book):

Two books by Sara Donati:  Into the Wilderness when Nathaniel and Elizabeth make love for the first time (it’s a cave filled with furs behind a waterfall for the setting!) and Fire Along the Sky when Lily and Simon make love for the first time (after she shaves off his beard).

Connie’s My Surrender - when Charlotte invites Dand to be her first experience before she goes off to be a mistress.

Lisa’s Lady Sophia’s Lover - EEK.  Ross is so hot.

Eloisa’s The Taming of the Duke and Rafe and Imogen’s first time.  Sigh.  And PFP - there is something about Mayne and Josie in the hayloft on their first full day of wedded life that just gets me.

Finally, one Stephanie Laurens:  To Distraction - because Deverell is so slow and patient in wooing the damaged Phoebe and he really loves all of her.

Thanks for the blog today - maybe it will get my mind off of what’s going to happen to Meredith and Derek on Gray’s Anatomy :D

Among my personal favorites are Sebastian and Esme, when Sebastian, bless his heart, tells Esme that he’s a natural athlete and so has every faith in his abilities—faith which turns out to be quite well-founded, thank you very much.  He also writes her an extremely romantic love letter (in the next book in the series) and quite stole my heart away.

Another favorite is found in Mary Balogh’s “The Temporary Wife”.  Anthony has married Charity to spite his family, but there is a beautiful love scene where he realizes he has “come to the place he had always looked for”, as their growing physical intimacy represents a growing emotional intimacy that they do not yet recognize or know how to articulate.

And of course there’s Balogh’s “The Notorious Rake”, where Mary and Edmond make love in a thunderstorm as in her terror she tries to climb under his skin.  She discovers a passion she didn’t know she had, and he rediscovers his soul.

This is by far the most fun way to start the week than I’ve had in a long time!

When I read what the today’s topic, I immediately thought of two books....SUDDENLY YOU (raspberries)and the THE VAMPIRE WHO LOVED ME scene that Teresa mentioned.  I also am partial to Josie and Mayne’s first encounter...they didn’t actually have sex but it was very HOT.

One of my all time favorite scenes is towards the end of Devil in Winter.  I loved it when Evie tells Sebastian that he is going to “lose the bet”.

I’ve read some of the ones listed...need to get me to a book store…

You are asking the vixen what her fav. sex scenes are????

Dear lordy, there are so many…

Sebastian and Esme are my favorite...of EJ’s
I love love the elevator scene in Trouble in High Heels...I think I just about fell off my chair...sigh...it was so damn hot!

Zsadist I love...cause he was so tender for being such a brute…

The books are full of tension and great sex…
Susan Sizmore...I burn for you...damn hot!
Rebecca York...Killing Moon
Toni Blake Swept Away...The Red Diary is full of teasers and then a great finale…
I’ll stop...I could go on, and on and on...maybe later…

ARgh, I have to leave for field work all day.  I can’t read as I’m driving and you want me to think about love scenes?  Not a good idea.....Roll on 4:00pm.....

Tee hee!  Don’t blame Eloisa for only listing one love scene.  We started out planning to list one and a runner-up, then switched to two, then several e-mails got crossed and well, what do you expect?  That writers know how to communicate?

I’m sure you can all help Eloisa choose a second scene by reminding her of some of your favorites!

This is a great blog, gals - absolutely love it!

I have to agree with Connie about All Through the Night...that scene is so hot, it flusters me just thinking about it!

I also have to agree with knitterlynn about Connie’s My Surrender...as I said before, Dand is one of my favorite heroes, so anything he does is sexy…

I just started Christina’s A Well Pleasured Lady, and now I’m so excited I almost want to flip forward. The sexual tension between Mary and Sebastian is fantastic!

Can’t think of others off the top of my head, but I might check in later…

Kay

Elizabeth Hoyt’s “The Raven Prince” and “The Leopard Prince"--holy smokes! 

Dance With The Devil--Sherrilyn Kenyon

Whisper of Roses--Teresa

The Gift--Julie Garwood

Oh, Connie, you know I’m Harry’s biggest fan. I don’t care for men spouting poetry, but when Harry gave up his deepest feelings. . . Oh. My. God. Rocked my world, darlin’. I love me some hot love scenes, but the scenes in As You Desire also made my heart hurt with joy.

But being the selfish creature that I am, I have to confess that my new fave love scene is in my own latest work. My husband read it and said, “Good Lord, can you put that in a romance novel?!?”. . . My editor said “Yes!” heehee

And MsHellion, have I ever told you how much I LOVE your pic?!? Reminds me of my favorite Scotsman joke. . . *g*

These are some great book. I just bought The Devil in Winter. This is going to be a good book.

I can’t believe that no one, so far, has mentioned the opening chapter from Renee Bernard’s “A Lady’s Pleasure!!” Holy SMOKES, what a way to open a book!!!

And any scene that take place in a moving carriage . . . 

I’m reading You’ve Got Male right now.  I’ll have to hurry up and read faster!

Alice

I would say off the top of my head the two books by Elizabeth Holt...The Raven Prince and The Leopard Prince.

And any scene that takes place in a carriage!!!!!!!

Anything by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I just melt everytime.

Victoria, my picture reminds me of my favorite Scottish joke too.  I would presume this would be the song about the blue ribbon, right?  “I don’t know where you’ve been my bonnie friend, but I see you’ve won first prize!”

I do have to second Connie’s “As You Desire"--big time.

I think my favorite love scene of Christina’s is in “Once a Knight"--or possibly “A Knight to Remember"--they were both funny and hot and, well, funny.  I love funny.

I think my favorite Eloisa’s love scene, aside from Rees who is so bad it’s hysterical, is Mayne in Pleasure for Pleasure.  The greatest lover--and yet he and Josie have to keep “trying” to get it right. 

And I’m pretty sure every love scene of Lisa’s is enough to spontaneously combust!  (Suddenly You is probably my favorite--though Dreaming of You might be first.)

Ms. Mary, I concur about Zsadist and Bella together during her needing time--I felt the urge for a cigarette, too and I don’t smoke!  HOT!!!

I love when Dougless and Nicholas finally get together in A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR.  She’s been doing everything she can to get his attention and thinks he’s ignoring her, when all the while he’s been restraining himself because he doesn’t want her to grieve for him if he goes back in time.  WOW!!  They start out in the bed, and end up on the floor.  In the process they knock a lamp off the table, I think and Dougless definitely gets rug burn.

I totally forgot about Eloisa’s scenes! I’m re-re-reading all of the Essex-sisters novels, and I have to say..all of them are giving me a weak in the knees sensation! Since I’m from holland I’m a bit behind with all the books that are listed here, but your lists do make me want to hop on a plane and return with a suitcase full of book!

Okay...the first scintillating scene that popped into my mind was from Eloisa’s Duchess in Love - but not the hero and heroine (even though they were lovely)!  I’m talking Esme and Sebastian - for once she is taking HIS v-card! Not to mention the tension between the two characters that builds to this scene makes it a very passionate, um, culmination.

I have to fling in and say if I’m in The Mood, but don’t have time to sink into a long novel, I read a Harlequin Presents. They’re purely about sexual attraction. Rich, powerful man acquires beautiful defiant woman thru nefarious means—kidnapping, blackmail, the usual—she resists, he pursues ... great fun, exotic locales, and not cluttered up with secondary characters. 

Truly Madly Yours by Rachel Gibson

Tell Me Lies by Jennifer Crusie

Smart and Sexy, Her Sexiest Mistake and Get a Clue by Jill Shalvis

Slow Heat in Heaven by Sandra Brown

She Drives Me Crazy by Leslie Kelly (The scene with the pecan pie is hot!)

You had to ask this on Monday morning while I’m at work… I’m drawing a blank and can’t go to my bookshelves to “refresh my memory”.  However, “The Lady’s Tutor” by Robin Schone keeps coming to mind. 

Ok, have to be quick here-- very busy day! But oh, one of my faves of all time is the tree scene… that wonderful tree scene in Again the Magic, Lisa! The tension, the emotional build-up between McKenna & Aline… after all those years of sheer tormented yearning. Those poor characters needed that scene sooooooo badly… talk about emotional intensity! Whew! 

I think I may just have to pay Aline & Mckenna yet another visit… hm, where is my poor beaten up, dog-eared copy of of ATM anyway??

Ladies,

One of my favourite love scenes is between Alexandra and Jordan in Judith McNaught`s SOMETHING WONDERFUL. It happens, when A&J are united again and in the middle of it Jordan asks:"Don`t you want me?” and Alexandra answers:” I don´t want to want you.” Oh my, what a love scene...Begins on page 316.

And I do love all the love scenes between Evie and Sebastian in LISA´S DEVIL IN WINTER. And LADY SOPHIA`S LOVER has very intimate moments too.

And TERESA´S BILLY in NOBODY´S DARLIN can do a trick or two…

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Squawk Radio!

Fave love scenes - I always love the ones where’s an element of catching the hero and heroine in flagrante delicto . 

There are lovely, luscious scenes in Teresa’s Once An Angel, but the one that makes me laugh is p.339 when the whole household wakes up and Emily has to somehow explain the loud crash. 

And I also love the scene in Lisa’s Lady Sophia’s Lover at the house party when everyone was playing a murder mystery game and Ross & Sophia were preoccupied...(p. 181).

Dreamy sighs all around!!!

Love the avatar, Manon!

And Desiree, I can THIS close to picking the scene in ONCE AN ANGEL when Justin and Emily almost fall out of the window

Um, that would be, “I CAME this close...”

Teresa, who can’t seem to write OR type today

Sexy scenes I remember?

Well, there are some dillies in the trio of books I recently finished: The Prescott Sisters by...can’t remember her name. Ha.

Some especially memorable scenes are in “Just the Way You Are” and in “Close to You”. That Zack, such a grumpy businessman can sure set any lady on fire.

Because it’s one of my favorite books as well, I’ll just mention “The Charmer” by Madeline Hunter. The sexy scenes in that are so tender especially since Adrian doesn’t expect to survive the duel he has to fight. He’s just trying to show instead of say as much as he can in the time he has left.

But there are a lot of other scenes I love. However, my writing time is limited. So, bye for now.

Oh, and I’m glad I don’t *have* to get anybody else to sign up. Mine is a very lonely road here as a romance reader. None of my family or friends read, never mind approve of romances of any kind. They’re constantly on my case to get me to stop reading and buying them too. Well, I had a head start in reading on them. They were still in diapers. What can I say.

No, MsHellion, that’s not it! Here’s mine: “What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt? On a good day, lipstick!” PAH-hahahaha

One of only three jokes I have ever been able to remember correctly. I need them quick and simple and preferably juvenile.

Mr. Perfect by Linda Howard- when Jaine and Sam get together the first time.

Ooo, Alice Audrey, don’t go too fast!  You want to enjoy these things.    And thanks!

"the infamous raspberry scene” That so popped into my head~! And I was waiting for it! lol..

Also page 287 ( I am recalling from memory so I might have the page wrong… ) in Taming of the Duke by Eloisa James… I looooooooved the build up to this love scene and it stands out in my mind more than any other.

Also, Christina Dodd’s Almost Like Being in Love- the kitchen/knife/chair/table scene…

And again in Christina Dodd’s governess series about a hero with “eyes the color of sin"- and a very compelling scene to follow, not dissapoint and prove that the color was truth. so very delightfully sinful.....

And I even think there was mention of a chicken? ....

ok- so I messed that up.

No chicken in Christina Dodd’s book.. I was talking about Kiss Me Annabel and not Taming of the Duke…

Somehow my thoughts AND post got shuffled.... 

All the love scenes in all the books all the Sqawk chicks write!!!!  But another one is in Outlander, chapter Secrets of the Bedchamber by Diana Gabaldon but again all the love scenes DG writes makes me go look for my DH.  Live - Love - Laugh - Happy Reading

I love the bathroom scene in After the Night by Linda Howard.

It is hot, hot, hot.

You’re bad, bad women! Now I have to go and order more books on amazon!

Favourite love scenes? Hmm ...

One of my favourites is definitely the love scene at the end of Dorothy Dunnett’s checkmate. One of the most emotionally satisfying scenes I’ve ever read (especially since I kept bawling my eyes out for most of the second half of that book).

Another one: the reunion love-making in DG’s Voyager. *sigh* Soooo lovely!

One of my favourite scenes to do with sex, but which is not actually a sex scene, is Celeste explaining sex to Hyacinth in Christina’s In my Wildest Dreams: “‘Between a man and a woman, there is much’ - Celeste paused, but could think of no delicate word to describe the condition - ‘nudity.’” Oh. My. Gosh. It’s so funny!!!

"Born to Be Bad” by Sherrilyn Kenyon pops into my mind.  I was reading it while recovering from stomach flu.  Not the best time to be reading but those 3 stories in it were hot, hot, hot. 

And another one by her “Taming the Highlander.” That is another good one.

I’m just starting Zsadist and Bella’s story.  Can’t wait.  All the talk makes me want to read it right now.  Unfortunetly, end-of-the-semester-papers don’t type themselves.

I have read some of these books.  I made a list of the others books (and made a note of the love scene pages) so that I can go out and buy them.  It’s always good to know which books have the juiciest love scenes.

Princess

Long before I saw the choices you guys put up, I knew I was going to mention raspberries, just like others have. LOL But the last one I really liked and has stayed with me is this waltz seen in Samantha James’s Every Wish Fullfilled. . . he’s showing her how to waltz. . . and they happen to both be totally naked. . .

Lois

In “To Sir Phillip with Love”, chapter 12, where Phillip shows Eloise how he knows they will suit.

And finally gets her to stop talking for three seconds.

Really, it’s impossible to list them all, but delicious fun to go try

Filmphan, you will so enjoy LOVER AWAKENED!!  Hurry, hurry and finish your papers.  This book is excellent motivation!

Two books that would definiely go on my list of favorite love scenes are Adele Ashworth’s Winter Garden and Judith Ivory’s The Indiscretion, but in both cases, choosing one scene is difficult because the sensuality is so layered in the developing relationship of H/H. Of course, there is the mud.

And I planned to omit Squawker books because there are too many to list, and I knew others would mention my favorites. But Once Upon a Pillow is often forgotten, and it has some steamy, steamy scenes. 

The first love scene in WINTER GARDEN by Adele Ashworth. Thomas becomes so overcome with lust and emotion he casnnot quite contain himself. :swoon:

Another favorite love scene is in Adele Ashworth’s THE DUKE’S INDISCRETION which releases tomorrow so I won’t “spill” the details. *wicked laugh*

LOL, it’s hard to explain favorite Scotsmen jokes when you work with a bunch of guys!  Hellion, I have to hear your joke.  Email me if you must!

I think I’ll spend this week re-reading these books.  Aw, who am I kidding!  I’m just gonna skip to the juicy bits.

Maybe my kids can stay at Nonna’s tonight......

All of your love scenes are great. Lisa’a Suddenly You book was the first book I read of her’s and because of it,it wasn’t my last. I loved the older women/younger man story but the forbidden fruit was something I had never read in a romance book before. I really like Karen Moning’s Highlander love scenes,they are all really good.

Christina Dodd’s Almost Like Being in Love was the first one that popped into my head.  The whole kitchen scene was just wow.  I have to admit that I read that one more than once.

I dont believe i have a favorite love scene. Then you might ask why I’m commenting?  Well, i just wanted to mention that I absolutely love to read about the morning after...when they wake up.  My favorite of those scenes is in Lisa Kleypas “Prince of Dreams”, after Nick has the fainting spell, and realizes he does love Emma.  That morning, when he wakes up at her side, I can feel from the pages just how in love he is, and it’s so touching it made me cry more than once.

The picnic scene in Sinful Pleasures by Mary Read McCall,The love scene on a horse in one of Johanna Lindsey’s can’t think of the name of the book at the moment and one of Stephanie Laurens Bastian Club series the name escapes me at the moment it is in front of a mirror in the bedroom.
Have Fun
Helen

Loved the scenes!!!!

I enjoy all the love scenes from any of Julie Garwood’s historical novels.

I have so many favs it would take me hours to list them! Here’s just a selection…

The scene between Gabriel Fairchild and Samantha Wickersham in Yours Until Dawn after the fire. Truly heart moving and earth shattering.

Also loved the one in A Kiss To Remember where Laura lay stiffly in bed and Sterling applied himself judiciously to his duties of procuring an heir!

In Dreaming Of You, that moment when Derek Craven tore off the mask of the woman he’s making love to and realised it was Sarah - that was molten hot!

Tootsie, that Lindsey book is “Savage Thunder” and the horseback scene is hot.  Hot. OMG.  HOT!

Eloisa:  I loved that book--and thus far, YWW is my fav. EJ book....not too mention that scene.

Teresa:  YEAH BABY!  Love me some Wilbury...uh, I mean, Julian and Portia!  And when I read the revelations about the crypt, I said a slightly naughtier version of what you said, can you believe?

Connie:  that scene in Once upon a PIllow where the H is chained to the bed???  Holy smokes. 

Christina:  It’s just got to be the one with Ian...in the water....the drop skating down his chest.

Liz:  Destinations South!  It was just them, and the ocean and it made my heart ache.

Lisa:  Has to be Suddenly You, as well, although I’m so happy to see someone mention the Russian Prince one.  I loved that book. 

I just realized, I blane YOU ALL for getting me pregnant. 

Other mentions: 
KEW: A Rose in Winter--when she’s making love to her “husband” and it’s really Christopher

Virginia Henley’s The this and The that books (can’t remember what those were...pirate and hawk?)

Judith Ivory: Untie my Heart and the Ratcatcher book

LLGurhke: Guilty Pleasures (was that the one on the mosaic table???)

I don’t know if this one has been mentioned or not but the one by Johanna Lindsey (I forgot the name of the book) where they have sex on a horse.  That was pretty steamy.  Hmmm....I need to find that book.

J!!!  You’re WHAT?????  You had better CALL me!! 

Making an announcement like that on the Squawk!  What’s the matter with you?!

Santa
Re-considering re-reading those scenes tonight…

Great topic!  Some of my favorite love scenes are from The Prize by Julie Garwood and A Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson.

Aw thank you, JennyBrat!  You’re bringing back some very happy memories for me!  (And for Samantha and Laura )

And J, don’t even try to pretend that it’s Julian that makes your heart beat faster when we know it’s Wilbury!  You’ve probably imagining his withered claws caressing you even as we speak while he rasps crabby nothings in your ear.

From the first page to the last, Lisa Valdez’s Passion was hot! And anything by Sarah McCarty raises the temperature of the room.

Linda

Teresa said: “while he rasps crabby nothings in your ear.”

Okay, that just turned me on.  Honestly, I LOVE him so much!!!

No San (she just called me screaming).  I blame the squawkers for my PAST pregnancies, because seriously, who better to play to a woman’s best sex organ (HER MIND), than another woman?

okay, I’m convinced..I need to read me all the Garwoods that have been sitting on my TBR forever!!!! (did I mention my TBR is like a few hundred high?)
Lora Leigh’s Dangerous Games -It’s relatively new one..but not for everyone… a lot of BDSM....but the hero is hot....and hello foreskin piercing...let’s just say the whole book has a whole lotta HOT sex that will be thumbed to death!
Kelley Armstrong ~Bitten has some intense scenes…
Kresley Cole A Hunger Like No Other....(WOW) I need me some of that werewolf boy!
That Nick Gentry one was very good...He was my second favorite of LK’s heroes…
Nicole Jordan...YOU CANNOT forget her books cause they are hot!  Wicked Fantasy is really great the hero (God I hate remembering names~I think it was Deverill) But is intro’d to the heroine early in the book and the get all hot and bothered kissing and his leg gets some good use..and the heroine gets off just fine!  *w*
Gaelen Foley’s Lord of Ice was INTENSE! The hero is all dark in brooding and he just seemed all intense and hot and quiet in the bedroom but all in control...sigh…
Now seriously I need to stop cause I could probably easily list 50 more books....

Oh crap, I forgot Gaelen (thanks for reminding me Tiffina).  I’m so ashamed…

My two favorite scenes from her are:

Princess (Daruis--so terrible tortured, what more could you want)

and

Lord of Fire (the twin of the one in lord of Ice).

Oh, and I almost forget....in Outlander when Claire “deflowers” Jamie.  The conversation before it happens is so touching and I love it when she’s done and indicates that male virginity is highly underrated…

Suddenly You just hooked me with that scene with Jack and Amanda –not only did they have amazing chemistry but I applaud Amanda for making such a courageous and empowering decision—taking a lover at the (way on the shelf) age of thirty. Also, this was one of only a few books I’ve read where you get the tantalizing Bada Bing (and you’re really hoping for the Boom) at the beginning of the book but you have to wait for the Boom—which is worth the wait.

As for a Devil in Winter I really liked how Evie and Sebastian consummate their union in the morning --even Sebastian isn’t up to it (no pun intended) the night they’re married after such a mad dash to Greta Green.  The scene works so well because Evie is caught up in her dream/fantasy of the well sprite/spirit but is really being gently seduced by Sebastian. For such a selfish bad guy, Sebastian is incredibly tender with Evie and is surprised and shocked to have such a significant sexual experience himself! I also liked how Sebastian teases Evie with what he plans to do to her when the bet is over and givers her more than a few well placed kisses!

I have and love the books listed in the main blog.
Others are: any book in the Cynster series by Stephanie Laurens and any book by Cheryl Holt.

Some of my other favorites scenes.

A Perfect Hero by Samantha James. Check out page 183. I loved this story because as a highwayman (mmm—a masked man) Dane is a gentleman but when Julia meets him later as Lord Granville he’s not a gentleman at all!

Lady of Sin by Madeline Hunter page 15. Another book that gets a sexy running head start. This story also involves masks but it’s the heroine Charlotte that hides from hero Nathaniel.

P.S. Congratulations chicks! Happy two year anniversary!

I would definately have to say all of J.R.Ward’s Books. But mostly LOVER AWAKENED. God, you just gotta love those tortured heroes! *swoons*

I’d also have to say all of the scenes in Lynn Kurland’s THIS IS ALL I ASK. Once again--tortured heroes. Though, he’s more depressed than tortured… *shrugs* But every time I read that books it makes me tear up from sheer happiness!

I have to admit that Devil in Winter is my fav love scene.  St. vincent is sooooo HOT!!

And Evie is one of the few heroines I absolutely loved, she is so endearing and it is so awesome when she finally got her man.  These two characters had so much chemistry their raw passion smoldered off the pages.  I oh so loved the kissing scenes too, it made the love scenes oh so much better

The first time between Austyn and Holly in Teresa’s Fairest of Them All. Hot, hot, hot!

Also most of the scenes in My Wicked Pirate by Rona Sharon. A fantastic romance!!!

The bath scene in Loretta Chase’s Lord Perfect--I just reread it, and it is indeed perfect.

Christina - THE. ELEVATOR. Nothing more need be said.

Lisa - I was just thinking about DIW last night and Sebastian & Evie have some of my favorite love scenes in literature

Teresa - TVWLM - that was just great. I loved that scene!!!!

Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward - Z & Bella during Bella’s needing period. It was powerful, intense, and developed the characters. Don’t want to put plot spoilers so I won’t say more.

Hey, guys, what can I say?  I thought it was supposed to be our favorite.

All I can say about my number 2 choice is that, well, it’s in Desperate Duchesses, my next book.  *grin*!!!!

I hate being the only person who knows a book.  It’s derned lonely!

Eloisa

Ah yes, the vicar and the breasts.

Nice save!  Thought you were only supposed to list your favorite, indeed!  You live to tease.  Cheeky wench!
