I want to believe it was love. However, the nature of game of thrones is rooted in violence and for that reason I say it was a kidnapping and a rape. Rape was pretty common back then I would think and women above all else loved their children. I think we saw the love lyanna had for her child in the tower of joy but I don't think it was reflective of her feeling for Rhaegar. Remember she told Ned "I tried to be brave" I think she was trying to be brave while she waited to be rescued.
