So, without further delay – onto our topic – Heartbreakers!

What Makes a Hero a Heartbreaker?

Thinking back over the many fabulous books I’ve read with yummy heroes, I’ve tried to figure out what makes a hero so appealing that the readers are drooling. Is it looks? No, I’ve read books where the hero had more rugged or downright ugly looks but was still magnetic. Is it being powerful? No, not all great heroes are billionaires. Some are cowboys or policemen. Intelligence? Probably needed. Humor? Maybe…I’ve read a few where the hero was the strong, silent type. Could it be at some point a willingness to open his own heart? To make himself vulnerable even though he is strong?

I’m open to suggestions. What do you think makes a hero a heartbreaker?

In my own work, I try to make my heroes the type that could melt you into a puddle and, while they could break your heart, they won’t. From Marcus in His Need, Her Desire to Rogan in Mia’s Cop Craving – my heroes are strong and appealing. When they find the right woman, watch out!

Mia has a dream—an erotic dream she just can’t seem to stop thinking about. Fantasizing about sex with a cop is something Mia has been doing for some time. She just has to find herself a man in blue. Mia heads to a local cop bar and finds exactly what she is looking for. As she approaches Rogan and begins to chat, Mia and her sexy police officer decide to keep each other company for the night. What ensues is fulfillment of Mia’s intense desire. Her wish is granted as he takes her on an explosive tour of her own sensual fantasy and beyond.

Malia Mallory Shares A Taste of His Desire, Her Surrender for #SixSunday #eroticromance

His_Desire_Her_Surrender_200x300Hi Readers! It’s time once again for Six Sentence Sunday. His Desire, Her Surrender is moving toward the finish line. I’m hoping to present you with the completed story soon!

Marcus had ordered her to hold back, but she didn’t feel subjugated, she felt powerful. She was in control, in control of her own orgasm and his as well.

As she approached her limit, he trembled beneath her and released a hoarse shout as his orgasm surged from his body into hers.

A satisfied smile lit Tabitha’s face as she surrendered to the demands of her body. Tumbling waves of heated pleasure swept her over the precipice, and she collapsed onto Marcus’s heaving chest.

“Wow, I need to put you in charge more often.”

#HEGIVEAWAY

Tell your happy ending story!

The Happy Endings Giveaway Hop was organized by Reading Romances!

When I think back, in many ways I’ve had a good many happy endings. After more short relationships than I can count and a couple close calls with marriage, I finally met the man I married. I’ve now been happily married for five years. I’m glad all those others didn’t work out, otherwise, I wouldn’t have what I have now right?

Another happy ending was my daugher. She just turned ten months old. The road to parenthood was long and rocky, but thankfully at the end, my husband and I became the parents of a beautiful little girl.

What is one of your happy endings? – It doesn’t have to be a romance…how about an accomplishment?
