For me Heartbreakers are those Bad Boys who don't let their emotions show. Well not until worn down by the woman who captures their heart. They definitely fight it tooth and nail and only admit to their feelings when they have no other option. They are the uber-alpha males who make a lady work for every sentimental word they utter, which isn't much! They show more of their feelings in deeds than words. Their possessiveness is the number one sigh of what is in their hearts! And when they love they are all in! That is how I view them!
My favorite hearbreaker of all time is Dawg Mackay in Lora Leigh's Nauti Boys series. He is all in with his lady and will not compromise! And when he shows that soft underbelly you just melt!
Nauti Nights
ISBN: 042521740XPublisher: Berkley
James “Dawg” Mackey has lusted after sweet Crista Jansen for years. Just as many as she’s spent running from him—and from that dangerous attraction that shot like a spark through her whole body. But now for Crista, running isn’t an option anymore because Dawg’s got a plan. It’s kind of low-down. And kind of hot.
Blackmail is a dirty word, but Dawg will use it if that’s what it takes to get Crista where he wants her. His hungers are too hard and fierce not to. He doesn’t realize that Crista has a longing too. She’s knows what he’s up to, what he’s capable of. He didn’t get that nickname for nothing. And before the night is through, Crista’s making him work for it.

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.

Why not consider Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre as a heart breaker? He is charming, smart, yet wit ha secret ;D

I like Amaury from Tina Folsom's Scanguards series as a heartbreaker. He's unashamedly a womanizer and if he allowed the women he's with to retain their memories after the fact, there would be very few of them who wouldn't be suffering from heartbreak over him.
ReplyDeletepurple975@msn.com
Oh boy, I need to check that series out!! I have it in my TBR list.
DeleteRhett Butler is the ultimate heartbreaker in my opinion.

I would say John Montraville from Charlotte Temple by Susanna Rowson (1791). AND, there's also Heathcliff...

To me a heartbreaker is someone who doesn't know how good and special he really is underneath that “Bad Boy” persona. When he falls in love, he falls hard. He is the guy that doesn't realize that his actions have broken your heart....But, when he does realize it, he takes immediate action to correct the misunderstanding and convince you he really does love you and no one else!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite heartbreaker is Smitty from the book "The Beast in Him" by Shelly Laurenston. (One of the Pack/Pride series books) He was just drop dead gorgeous and sexy and he broke Jessie Ann's heart when he wouldn't claim her with "the Smith Mate Maul" If you want to know what the heck I'm talking about.......READ THE BOOK. :) In fact I recommend you read the series.
Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win. <^_^>

ReplyDeleteWe 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.

I don't know that I've met a heart breaker, but I've read about quite a few. My current favorites are both Lauren Dane characters. One is Shane from Fated and the other Todd from Laid Bare. I think the redeeming thing about them is that when they realize how wrong they are they are quite good at communicating their understanding and groveling.

My favorite fictional heartbreaker is Rhett Butler. I have a paperback copy of Gone with the Wind that has definitely seen better days because I have read it so many times. I love him because he was a little heartbreaker and heartthrob all wrapped into one. Thanks for the fun stop and chance to win in the hop. sbereza22(at)gmail(dot)com

DeleteEric Northman is one of my favorite heartbreakers, because he truly fits the definition. You love him, but he isn't always a nice guy, and he has broken a lot of women's hearts in his very long life.
