Leave a comment telling me your definition of a hearbreaker. I am giving away a copy of my latest Ellora's Cave release, Carnal Devices (release date: Feb. 8th).

Blurb: India dreads her occupation as a prostitute at Carnal Pleasures, a brothel in an alternate nineteenth-century London. In order to kindle India’s passion for her work, Madam Rowena introduces her to Phineas, a renowned scholar in the field of  sexual psychology. With the help of Phineas, his fornication facilitators and  the Kama Sutra, India attempts to reinvent herself as a
sophisticated  courtesan named India of Rajasthan.

Phineas  is a scholar and an intellectual. In India, he finds a woman of imagination and intelligence who needs guidance to realize her full potential. Not only does he help her believe in herself, but she in turn helps him indulge in a fantasy he has kept hidden for years—the sin of male-male love.

Inside Scoop: India’s sensual journey includes brief forays into ménage, female/female, and observing male/male exploration in a world filled with wondrous steampunk sexual creations.

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.

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

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!

The definition of a heartbreaker...Someone with no redeeming qualities. Guys (or gals) who treat others poorly, with no remorse or conscience, are the real heartbreakers.

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

I suppose my definition would be something about how he seems unavailable but continues to find her, has a snarky/bad attitude one minute and be funny as hell the next, ruggedly handsome, but also at times sweet and charming.
Thank you so much for the chance

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 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.

A heartbreaker is someone who only wants an encounter not a relationship, and if emotions become involved, goodbye.

A heartbreaker to me is the twisted, damaged character who doesn't know what it is like to be loved because of his past whether he was never shown how to love or he was heartbroken himself. I love these characters and the way they usually end up redeeming themselves with their true love once they realize the error of their ways and figure out that they may have lost their one chance at everlasting love.

To me a heartbreaker is a man who is sexy & handsome to his core & he knows it. He uses his....charm & good looks with sweet talk & sexy glances to make you want him to his core. Then Once he has you in his Thrall....he drops you like a hot potato for the next conquest. Leaving you wanting, needing & broken hearted.
Thanks for the giveaway & hop stop.
Happy Valentines Day :D
