What makes us fall in love with the wickedly alluring imperfect hero? I believe it is the intensity of this heartbreaker that draws us in as if we’ve been enthralled by their bad boy image and their unpredictable persona. We’re never sure if we can completely trust them or if they are even worthy of it. They do as they please and don’t apologize for doing it. They embrace adventure as if it is a cloak to wear on a stormy night.

| Can Lucca's soul be redeemed? |
However, the right woman sees through all his thrill riding
and unconventional approach to the world and perceives something redeemable.
Their vulnerability makes her sigh, but it also challenges her to break through
the wall the heartbreaker has created. What a prize it is to win this fiercely
guarded heart. And when she does… he’s loyal to her and ardently protective.
A dark intense male who is trying to do what is right, but
struggles against inner demons makes an interesting and complex hero. It’s the
intensity that makes this heartbreaker a sexy hero, and it’s one heck of an achievement
to obtain the unattainable, don’t you think?

Zsadist is my favorite brother!! Great series. Are you counting down for the next book in the series? I can't wait!!
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 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 am kind of falling in love with the heartbreaking Olivia Pope and Fitz on the TV show Scandal. I think they are both heartbreakers. Him because he is married and should be off limits and her because she breaks hearts and doesn't even know it by interfering in so many peoples lives. sbereza22(at)gmail(dot)com
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.

Eric from True Blood.
Thanks for the chance to win!

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.

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.

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

@Mary @SweepingMeDon't you just love the series: The Walking Dead. I watched it last night. I'm so glad it's back!!
@Shannon BerezaSounds like an interesting plot for true heartbreakers. I'll have to check it out.
@Mydurango618All those books sound fantastic. I'm adding them to my 'wish list'. I especially want to read 'All I Want For Christmas'. Thanks for sharing!!
@NatashaGo team Eric!!
@strawberryroseGotta love a male who loves horses, too. :)
@Amber TurnerIt's so much more fun to read about a heartbreaker and find out by the end of the book they're able to redeem themselves.
It's no fun in 'real' life to be hurt by someone you love. However, you are so right. You have to put yourself out there, or else you'll never find the man or woman you want to be with for the rest of your life. :) Thanks for stopping by.
@veRONIcaYep, Gotta love Damon! I know I do. lol
@ShadowYou are so welcome!
@michedtEric is definitely in the lead! lol
@CarlaI haven't read this one. I'll have to check it out.
