Hmm… What do I think about heartbreakers? I think every guy has the potential to be a heartbreaker. The boy next door, the local bad boy, even your best friend. I think it all depends on how much we expect from them, and how much we come to depend on them. They may be sexy, but they sure aren’t perfect! They screw up, and it’s usually big. But, let’s face it ladies, many of us have some pretty high expectations and when things don’t go our way, especially in the area of LOVE, our heart cracks wide open, right down the middle, and teeters until it’s put back together.
But the best thing about these guys…they also love the deepest, the hardest and they willingly step up to become our knights, our heroes. They slay our dragons, they open our doors, and they lift us over puddles. They let us cry on their shoulder. *swoon*
So now, you tell me, do you think heartbreakers make the best heroes? Leave me a comment below for a chance to win!
In my debut release, Worth the Risk, Molly’s heart was broken, but not by her hero, at least not directly. Still, she had a lot of healing to do before her heart was put back together. Check it out:
Even the hottest sex might not be enough to ease the pain of the past…
Molly Simpson arrives at a beautiful provincial park, read
y to spend the May Two-Four holiday camping with friends. This weekend is the highlight of her year—or it was, until Tanner Daivies showed up. Her high school crush is all grown up, sexy as sin, and he’s demanding answers—answers Molly isn’t sure she can give him. She had her reasons for leaving him all those years ago, but now, sex with Tanner is scorching, and when they’re together, it’s clear they were never meant to be apart. But the past doesn’t want to stay buried, and Molly isn’t sure reliving it is worth the risk…

Now don’t forget to leave me a comment about your thoughts on heartbreakers, and your email, for a chance to win the $5 gift card I’m giving away, or for a chance to win one of those fabulous grand prizes.

A fresh mouth. Witty dialogue whether in a book or in real life. His damn arrogance that makes you want to slap the expression off his face or crash your mouth against his. So hot you want to drop…you know what I mean. A second or a year later, the roil in your stomach makes you think, if only there’d been more time.
They do make the best heros, but I am not sure why. I think it is the bad boy thing. delphinareadstoomuch at yahoo
I think a true hero would be one who did all he could NOT to break my heart. Have a great hop. Thanks for the chance to win.

I prefer the sweeter, more unassuming guys, but a heartbreaker can shake a story up!

Christian Grey is good example. He’s a hero and a heartbreaker.
Thanks for the giveaway and participating in the hop!
I think that Christian Grey from “50 Shades of Grey” is a good example of a heartbreaker. He used and abused Ana at first, but then came to his senses by book two.

For me bad boys make the best heroes..not heart breakers!
Thanks so much for participation!

I’m loving your responses! Keep them coming.
For me the heartbreaker is a bad boy who goes kicking and screaming into love! When he falls he falls hard!
The only heartbreakers I have encountered are literary! And my all time fav is Mr Darcy! Although, I am currently crushing on Zadist from the Black Dagger Brotherhood!

I do think that bad boys make the best heroes, but not necessarily heart breakers. I think of heartbreakers as those who love and leave.

Not sure. Depends on their redeeming qualities.
Great giveaway!

I havent had any person heartbreaking but I guess if they seem sincere enough and grovel a bit I could possibly forgive them. It also depended on what they did. I like to think everyones redeemable.

I love reading about heartbreakers, because they provide tons of drama, but I’m not sure if they make the best heroes.

Heartbreakers do make the best heroes because they usually learn from their mistake and have to redeem themselves in some way or another. Now if only in real life all the darn heartbreakers would realize the error of their ways and stop breaking hearts. sbereza22(at)gmail(dot)com
Ah, if only real life could mimic our fictional stories! The good ones anyway
I’m loving your comments!
My favorite heartbreaker is Damon from the Vampire Diaries.
Thanks for the chance!

I think heartbreakers can make good heroes, as I like to read about them redeeming themselves. But just because a hero’s not a rake doesn’t mean he won’t work…honest and upright doesn’t have to mean boring! I love hearbreakers and hearthrobs!

I think they do. Thanks for the chance to win!

We all want to love a Heartbreaker. Maybe its because of his chiseled good looks, his bad boy attitude, or the mysterious nature of him. Some Heartbreakers are just that, they know what they got and how to use it to get what they want. Then there are those Heartbreakers that don’t even realize that they are doing it. The best part about a Heartbreaker is that there is always a woman that turns their world upside down until they realize it is love. I have read many Romance Novels over the years and have run into many memorable Heartbreakers and my favorites are usually the ones that don’t even know they are Heartbreakers! Some of my personal favorite Heartbreakers are :
Kade Jamenson (Werewolf) from An Alpha’s Path. Kade is a sexy werewolf that will make you burn but a mishap with a potential mate makes him not think he will find love.
Ian MacPhie (Vampire) from All I Want For Christmas is a Vampire. Ian is a heartbreaking Highland Vampire that was frozen in his immortality when he was only 15. With the help of his friend he is given a drug that helps him age to 28 so he could look like a man instead of a child after hundreds of years. He has no idea that he looks of a warrior and the lover.
Lothaire Daciano (Vampire) from Lothaire. Lothaire is definitely a heartbreaker and his cocky attitude proves it! Thinks he’s a gift to women! Its just the sucker punch from a woman he doesn’t realize is his equal that brings him down a notch.
Marius Parker from His Contrary Bride. Marius is every part the gentlemen but doesn’t realize he could also easily be the rogue!
Benjamin Gateway from To Win His Wayward Wife. Benjamin doesn’t realize that he is a heartbreaker because the one woman he loved, he lost….or did he?
Fury North (Human with Canine DNA) from Fury and Valiant North (Human with Feline DNA) from Valiant. Fury and Valiant are strong New Species and gorgeous to boot, but because they are damaged they doesn’t think they can hold onto to the women they love.
Sigimor Cameron from Highland Conqueror. Sigimor is every bit the Highland Laird and warrior but can he hold onto to the beautiful English lady?
Joshua Striker (Werewolf) from Alexandra’s Legacy. Joshua is a scared and battle hard enforcer for his pack and he thinks that he doesn’t have what it takes to make the women melt.

My favorite Heartbreaker is the one that your heart can’t live without. One of my best is Lucas from D B Reynolds book “LUCAS” (Vampire in America series). Strong mind, well put together and tender when he wants to be. And loves horses.

Yes they make great heroes~ although I do get frustrated and angry at them all the time. They always have a back story to the way they are.

Yep I think they do. They seem to be full of honor!

I may not have much experience in the whole love department, but I have had my heart broken. Being considered a Heartbreaker can come from various actions that you do. I am a newbie when it comes to reading romance books but what I have learned is that it is not bad to have a chiseled body or an amazing personality. If you look at it over all, if you never put your heart out there, you may never have a chance at true love and happiness. I may get broken once in a while but only you are strong enough to pick yourself up and try all over again. One of my favorite Heartbreakers is Taylor Qualls the Earl of Sandlin from the book His Impetuous Debutante. Lady Phoebe kinda reminds me of myself, accident prone and finding trouble in every corner. Taylor doesn’t think he is good enough for Phoebe, so he’s a heartbreaker and doesn’t know it.

I wouldn’t say they make the BEST heroes but they certainly do keep the stories interesting
One of my favorites is Justice from Justice by Laurann Dohner. Thank you for the awesome hop and giveaway!!!

My favorite part of having a heart breaker is the world class groveling. Todd in Lauren Dane’s Laid Bare is my perfect example.
planterofhope at aol dot com
I loved Laid Bare! It was the first book I read by Lauren Dane, and I’ve been a fan since.
They do make the best heroes because I think they change a little through the story from a total heartbreaker to a hero.
