So, what exactly is it about a man that makes him a Heartbreaker? Is it a killer set of abs and an intense gaze like the yumster in the photograph over there? (Seriously, friends... that man has an eight-pack!!) Is it a soft-spot for the grandmother or the single dad that loved him through an unruly childhood? Is he the kind of man who's tough as nails on the outside and all warm and gooey once you get to his delicious middle?
I personally like my Heartbreakers as complicated as possible. I like them to surprise me in ways I'm really, really not expecting. And if they do indeed break my heroine's heart, I prefer it when they're highly skilled in the art of kissing it and making it all better.
So tell me: what makes a man a Heartbreaker to you?

Even the most dedicated Dom/sub couples are subject to the pitfalls of domesticity. Right?
Owen and Grace’s kinky life has become a thing of the past. A year has passed since Owen’s job moved him to a new city and away from all of their old friends. New city, new friends, new house—no play. And it’s making both of them really cranky.
After Grace attempts to take matters into her own hands on their tenth wedding anniversary, Owen realizes he’s failing her as her Dom. He comes up with just the thing to get them back on track—a surprise custom made to keep his feisty little sub bound and begging for more for years to come. At least if everything goes to plan.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, Jayne...for me a heartbreaker is the guy who hides his soft side. The kind who makes you work to get to know him. But once he's open, ohhhhhhhh..... *sigh*

There are the poopoo head heartbreakers who do it on purpose and their are the tough, sweet ones who break you heart in a good way with tenderness. Awww. :-)
ReplyDeleteA love em and Leave em type guy is the perfect HeartBreaker!!

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.
He's very confident, too...

I think a heartbreaker is someone who loves and leaves. Rhett Butler is the ultimate heartbreaker.

For 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!

A heart breaker is the one who doesn't know how or don't want to commit to something serious!

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.

I love reading about heartbreakers! They are usually bad-boys, they’re witty, funny and sexy and the female population is drooling after them lol

To me a heartbreaker is just that: a sexy, bad boy who takes what he wants and leaves you with a broken heart
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway!

a bad boy with an i don't care attitude...but that heart of gold certain people can see and once you see it, he can break your heart in the littlest way :)
ReplyDeletestaceyprice(AT)gmail.com
Confident, sexy as hell, snarky attitude with a flare of 'I don't give a F*ck', and don't forget the sense of humor.....and then he gets socked in the nose by the perfect heroine! Perfect! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance,

A heartbreaker makes you fall for him but his selfish motives come to light, and he breaks your heart.

I think a heartbreaker is a bad boy who has a lot of emotional baggage he has to work though before he can find love. Thanks for the giveaway.

Most of the time it is not feeling the same as us ladies. If they are a good or bad depends if they know what they are doing to us.

The man that makes a heartbreaker to me is the man who is really screwed up and breaks the womens heart only to realize later that he screwed up and lost his chance and having the best kind of love. If he can figure out what he did wrong and do everything in his power to fix it and earn her love and respect back then he is a true heartbreaker. sbereza22(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteTo me a man is a heartbreaker if he will do ANYTHING to get what HE WANTS no matter what.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!! So many great prizes!! Happy Valentine's Day!

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.

To me, a Heartbreaker is someone who uses there looks, smooth talks, tells lies to get what. They dont care about the people they hurt or how they affect them. Thank you for the awesome hop and giveaway!!! :)

To me a heartbreaker is someone who wants an encounter not a relationship and the second emotions comes into it, they are gone.

My idea of a heartbreaker is someone who is sexy, confident, knows what they want, and goes after it without thought to those others:)

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

A heartbreaker is someone who doesn't consider the effects of their actions on those around them. And obviously he has to be gorgeous enough to get away with it lol
