smut is smut is smut ...

... or would it be as erotic by any other name?
There was an entry by Viv recently I think about purple prose versus the real thing, esp. in smut scenes. Stuff like ... velvet rod or secret love pearl were discussed which I have to admit I have been using from time to time as well, depending in which genre I am writing (the more purple prose I get the more I distance myself from my own time line - medieval setting = VERY purply; modern time = normal anatomical words with a bit of purple thrown in)

So, this is a question for my fellow writers:

Which books/fics have you read recently where you liked the smut scenes?

The following are my fave list of five:
Naked In Death by J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts (the first time Eve and Roarke have sex)
Jennifer Crusie's Manhunting (Jake is better than chocolate)
Key Trilogy by Nora Roberts
Unless by Viv (OB fan fiction)
To Make You Feel My Love by Kelly Hill (Farscape fan fiction)

So what are yours?
