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!!
I'll tell you about mine. I love the guy that all girls want but he only has eyes for one. I LOVE those guys. Seriously, nothing sexier than a man who knows what he's got at home. Plus, if they're just a little bit naughty, well they're even better. ;)
I know for me, my husband has been much of the inspiration for my books. He was that bad boy mom's always warned their precious daughters about and I was the little angel. Or so people thought. And though we're completely opposite, I love him and he me. That's what I write about, men that are forbidden. That we shouldn't want, but can't help needing.
So what does it for you. And who do you think is the sexiest man in books.
I may not have written him, but hands down one of the best and yet somewhat disturbing for me is Jericho. And if I have to explain to you who he is, you NEED to pick up KMM's fever series.
So tell me, and then tell others...
Almost 300 bloggers have giveaways and posts about those men we love!

Happy reading,
~Marie

I just have to say I love your blog title. My brother has an online radio show and he always says that, even has a t-shirt to prove it. LOL. My husband is also a reformed bad boy and I was the good girl. Guess opposite attract, but we have managed to also stay together for 25 years.
Bad boys and heart breakers make the best leading men in books. That's why we love them so much

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.

Yes I agree about those type of characters in books, they ase hot :D and seem more appealing. totally agree about Jericho! :)
thanks!
Oh. I haven't met a heart breaker!

Funny, I don't usually go for the bad boys, but the hop might have me convinced!
Thanks

HI! KMM is that Karen Marie Moning? I think I have a couple of her books in my To Read but I've never read her yet. For me a heartbreaker hero is Terry Myell from The Outback Stars series by Sandra MacDonald. Not your typical romance, it's a military SFR.

I must admit I do enjoy a heartbreaker in a story. A bad boy on a motorcycle, the hardened military man, or the confirmed bachelor. I love when they find that perfect woman and fall in love.

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!

LOL... thanks. It's a reference to Anchorman. When I first decided what to call my blog I thought, people are either going to think I'm hugely arrogant or spot the homage right away. Your brother sounds hilarious. :D
Congratulations... 25 years, that's fantastic! I'll be going on lucky number 13 this year. :D
Yes, Karen Marie Moning and you really need to bump her waaaaaay up on that list, though I'll warn you now... her books are like crack. ;)
Darcy, my first love. I adore him. I've always tried to imagine a character like him for my books but then I just think, there'll only ever be one and I'm good with that. :D
Zadist wasn't too bad though. ;)
I'm still Jericho... all the way. But I do adore my Mad Hatter, he's absolutely brilliantly mad.
The sexiest man in books? I do love Roarke in JD Robb's books.
catherinelee100 at gmail dot com
I cant choose just one.... havebookwillsurvive@gmail.com
I love so many..some of my favorites are the McKay men from Lorelei James' Rough Riders.

I love those bad boy heart breakers, why, I don't know. I guess I love angst - at least when it's in a book and not something I have to deal with in real life.
Thank you for the chance at your giveaway! There are just too many men in books that I adore!!

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 Damon from the Vampire Diaries.
Thanks for the chance!

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.

Amazing giveaway!!!!

Hey Marie!!!!
You have made me incredibly happy today!! I was really depressed after getting home from my foot doctors appt...I broke both my ankles 6 weeks ago and I have another 4 weeks in my prison of a room till the next appt. Soooo....hearing you are going to continue the kingdom series (yeah Danika! Keep up the sass girl!), giving away a book of yours I haven't read yet, AND two new books are in final editing is such great news!
And my favorite heartbreaker? It would definitely have to be Bruce Wayne/Batman. Broken hearts on record? Talia al Ghul, Zatanna, Sliver St. Cloud, Vicki Vale, Selina Kyle, Wonder Woman, Sasha Bordeaux, Andrea Beaumont, Barbara Gordan, nameless date of the week....It's a long list, but I was added on that list when I was around 3 so...some of those girls better just step aside since I've been on the list longer.
Even though I love my Batman. I would still pick my future husband (April 6th!) over him, because I know that my handsome nerd (like you said --->) "knows what he's got at home." :D
Cheerleading your writing from PA! RAH RAH! Gooooo hooks pan writing! YEAH!

kaylyndavis1986@yahoo.com
Awww.. Ash, congratz. That's fantastic. :) And yeah, Danika deserved it, but more than that I have some pretty awesome readers and they just refused to let the series die. So what could I do, right?
Batman... girl, you're speaking my language. *g* If I wouldn't get flagged for copyright infringment I'd make that man settle down.. he's all sorts of num nums. :p
hi thanks for the hop

Thank you tor the giveaway.
The sexist men in books are the strong sexy Alpha males!
Tigerfly139@Aol.com
I am an avid reader and I am going to shamefully hang my head down because I do not know who Jericho is, but I just added the Fever books on my list of what to check out and purchase. Thanks for the tip. As for the sexiest man in books for me is from Jennifer Lyon's Wing Slayer Hunter Series and the alpha male is Axel Locke. There is something so swoon-worthy about him. Of course that series has several alpha males and I think they're all sexy. Thanks for the fun blog stop and thanks for the chance to win. sbereza22(at)gmail(dot)com
I love a good alpha male bad boy like Jericho Barrons or Eric Northman!!
Thanks for the great giveaway!! So many great prizes!! Happy Valentine's Day!
