I write sweet romance that always ends with a Happily Ever After. http://tinyurl.com/aq49gwa
However, my favorite romance with my all time favorite heartbreaker does not end that way.
If you can watch this youtube video for the Way We Were without your eyes tearing than you're a better person than I am. Just listening to the song as I write this blog makes me teary eyed.

Any time I hear the theme song I immediately picture the end of the movie. Hubbell sees Katie across the street from the Plaza Hotel. I reach for a tissue. By the time he crosses the street my sobbing is out of control. I can quote verbatim the dialogue in that scene. For me it is the most memorable heartbreaking scene in any book or movie.
Who is the heartbreaker from a book or movie who has that affect on you?

I think Rhett Butler is the ultimate heartbreaker, although I did love Robert Redford in the Way we Were.

Gotta love Robert Redford. My heartbreaker Jesse from This Man.

gotta love the classics. I've been hopping all day and really can't come up with a favorite heartbreaker! There are so many great ones out there!

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.

My favorite heartbreaker is Damon from the Vampire Diaries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

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!

'The Way We Were' That was a great movie. Robert Redford...sigh! He was my heartthrob when I was younger. My favorite heartbreaker is Gibs on NCIS. You know he rejects every woman. Of course he's been married what 6 times? Can't remember.
ReplyDeleteKeep writing so I can keep reading. Thanks for being in this super blog hop.
roya-clan@sbcglobal.net
Eric from True Blood or Damon from Vampire diaries, love them both!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for participation in the hop!

My favorite is Alex from Kiss An Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips!
ReplyDeleteverusbognar (at) gmail (dot) com
OMG< I love Alex in Kiss An Angel! I never thought he was going to come around!
ReplyDeleteCArpediem5366@gmail.com
My favorite part of having a heart breaker is the world class groveling. Todd in Lauren Dane's Laid Bare is my perfect example.
ReplyDeleteplanterofhope at aol dot com
Oo, Gibbs on NCIS. He's a good one. I like him.

I can't help but love that alpha hero who doesn't believe in love (at least not for him) & watching him fall hard, fast, & far -- such fun :)
ReplyDeletegamistress66 (at) aol (dot) com
My favorite heartbreaker is Barrons from KMM's Fever series. :D
ReplyDeleteanasmith1919 at gmail dot com
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 needs to be.

Jack from Titanic. I know he didn't mean to be a heartbreaker, but his death made me bawl for days. I refuse to watch the movie ever again. I like heartbreakers, but I'm not a fan of bittersweet endings.
ReplyDeletetiger-chick-1(at)hotmail(dot)com
This might sound strange, but the hero that has that effect on me is Judd Nelson from The Breakfast Club. I think he is the bad boy that was a heartbreaker even though we didn't see him breaking too many hearts in the movie. also Jerry McGuire how can one not fall in love with him when he professes his love and says "You had me at Hello" sbereza22(at)gmail(dot)com
