Are our
heroes heartthrobs or heartbreakers? Or are they just the same thing?
Yummy right? Valentine's Day is just around the corner for this blog hop
and we're gearing up to see what exactly is a heartbreaker. Is the song
playing in your head line mine? "Cuz he's a heartbreaker!" We love
those sexy men, but what about those times in the story when they aren't
perfect. Because come on, we know they aren't perfect. What makes those
men heartbreakers? What can those guys do to make it better? Is there a
way to grovel? Come on! Tell me about your heartbreaker!!The heroes in my historical romance novels tend to be crusty on the outside and soft inside like a potato baked in the coals of a campfire.

In my new e-book, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD, Buck maddux is gruff and rough, tough and tender. Hidden beneath his crusty attitude is marshmallow heart. He doesn't want to go visit the widow of the man who was the reason Buck had spent the past two years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. But a promise was a promise. The fun thing is that he isn't the only one in the story with a tough hide. Tempest Whitney greets him with a shotgun, and accuses him of being the reason her husband was killed after stealing an army payroll. Buck's temper boils. He leaves, intent on staying as far away from the widow as possible. Then he learns a despicable rancher is forcing her to marry him. Buck promised her dying husband more than just to visit her; he'd promised to make sure she and her two small children were all right. Being under the thumb of what Buck considered a low-down snake of a man wasn't what he call "all right." So, what did he do? Why, the only thing he could do--he broke up the wedding and claimed to be Tempest's dead husband. That's my kind of man.
You can buy my book here or at any e-book store.

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 :
ReplyDeleteKade 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.

Sounds like an enticing book
DeleteThanks for the giveaway and participating in the hop!
ReplyDeleteI 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.

I haven't read that. I'll have to check it out.
DeleteFor me the heartbreaker is a bad boy who goes kicking and screaming into love! When he falls he falls hard!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!

Seems like a big difference between Mr. Darcy and Zadist. But both hunks.

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 needs to be.

My favorite part of having a heart breaker is the world class groveling. Todd in Lauren Dane's Laid Bare is my perfect example.

I like a Heartbreaker who can make me mad, want to pop him upside the head, but the redeems himself and makes me fall in love with him.
ReplyDeletej.m.platt83@gmail.com
Heartbreaker is someone who is gorgeous and cares about him-/herself only.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance!

Not sure why, but I am having a problem seeing the photos and some of the words on your blog site. So I'm not sure if you asked a specific question or not, but I will go with the theme of the hop and say what I love in a heartbreaker which is someone who is broken on the inside and doesn't know what it is like to be loved so in turn he ends up breaking hearts along the way. The best is when he can redeem himself when he finds that resilient heroine who would love him no matter what and she teaches him what it is like to be loved.
