Fans of McNaught discussion

What is your favorite scene from any of the McNaught novels?

I have too many to recount them all here but one of them has to be when Jenny kneels and pledges fealty to Royce towards the end of A Kingdom of Dreams.

Too many to recount but I know I was in stitches laughing at the scene in Until You where the heroine who has lost her memory from a head injury and has to rely on the hero for learning about how she looks. Her head is in bandages and Stephen tells her that her hair is brown. When she gets out of bed and washes her hair to find that she has red hair -- too funny for words! And his reaction to her hair was pretty cute too. One of the reasons that I love the book even though it isn't a favorite with most.

I don't know that I can pick a favorite, but I start roaring with laughter every time I read the scene in Paradise when Meredith and Matt's driver (Joe O'Hara, I think, but I'm not sure) are careening through the streets and she calls Matt freaking out, saying something like, "Your driver assures me he's packing a rod, and he doesn't mean he's going fishing, Matt!"

I love that part!

There was something abt the scene in "Something Wonderful" where Alex took the bullet for Jordan even after he accused her of trying to kill him, that get's me every single time...I also loved the part where Nick found out from Jim what Lauren did for him and leaving an international business conference to try to get her back......there's also this part in "whitney, my love" where she went through absurd lengths to defy him....and etc..

You're making me want to reread Double Standards!

I love many of them, but one of my favorites is when Whitney shows up at Clayton's and the dowager "resists the urge to ask for the whole bottle" when Clayton then arrives with the new fiance.

When Jenny kisses Royce's scars. Unbelievable :-)

“If you would take one step forward, darling, you could cry in my arms. And while you do, I'll tell you how sorry I am for everything I've done -" Unable to wait, Ian caught her, pulling her tightly against him. "And when I'm finished," he whispered hoarsely as she wrapped her arms around him and wept brokenly, "you can help me find a way to forgive myself."
Tortured by her tears, he clasped her tighter and rubbed his jaw against her temple, his voice a ravaged whisper: "I'm sorry," he told her. He cupped her face between his palms, tipping it up and gazing into her eyes, his thumbs moving over her wet cheeks. "I'm sorry." Slowly, he bent his head, covering her mouth with his. "I'm so damned sorry.” -Ian #AlmostHeaven

You're right, Howraa. That was powerful. A McNaught was my first romance...reading that scene again reminded me why I started reading romance. Think I will go back and do some rereading of favorites. Thanks for posting that particular scene. :-)

YES!!!! Best. Scene. EVER!!!!! I still remember exactly where I was when I read that scene for the first time. And then promptly read it again. This one gets my vote, too. <3

Oh my goodness, too many to name!

Pretty much every scene in Someone to Watch Over Me with Michael and Leigh, but particularly the scene where the first make love.... oh my damn hahaha I think that scene is some of Judith's best work, simple and flawless and gut-stabbing. I also love Leigh's discovery that Michael had a crush on her all those years ago, when his aunt tells Leigh that he bought her special expensive pears for her trips to their market!! "He was going to school and he didn't have any money, so he stretched every penny" Ugh! My heart!

The initial meeting of Matt and Meredith in Paradise was always special. There's something about it..

AND when Royce is about to die on the field because his life doesn't matter without Jennifer's love, and then she kneels down in front of him!!!

Ooh, and the scene in Perfect where Zachary thinks Julie fell in the icy lake and he dives in after her! And then he just lies there with his shirt undone, waiting for death to take him because he thinks he killed her!

I could go on and on hahahaha

I WISH JUDITH HAD ANOTHER SEQUEL WITH MICHAEL..
