Angsty, tortured, scarred romance heroes guaranteed to melt your heart (and panties)

I don’t know about you, but the angsty, tortured, scarred romance heroes are my kryptonite. (Emotional and/or physical scars...both work for me) Especially if they’re grumpy. It’s a sickness, I think—one that I have no desire to cure. So, without further delay, here are but a few of our all-time favorite tortured, angsty, scarred, and sometimes grumpy romance heroes. (There are some 5-star recs from a few of our favorite followers, too!) Enjoy!
