Rolfe the Relentless, The Conquerer by Brenda Joyce - romance set in England in 1069 10. Gregori, Dark Magic Series by Christine Ferham - heavy on romance and intimacy with vampire, magic, paranormal twist 1. Lachlain (A Hunger Like No Other - Kresley Cole 2. Jacques (Dark Desire- Christine Feehan) 3. Zarek (Dance with the Devil- Sherrilyn Kenyon) Actually Sherrilyn Kenyon has a few terribly tortured heroes in her Dark Hunter series but I think Zarek had it the worse, yes, even worse than Acheron. 4. Gabriel (Gabriels Woman- Robin Schone) 5. Michel (The Lover- Robin Schone) These are actually connecting stories, the first one read should be The Lover, I just thought Gabriel was just that bit more tortured which is why they are in this order. 6. Acheron (Acheron - Sherrilyn Kenyon) 7. Jake (Burning Wild- Christine Feehan) 8. Ethan (If You Deceive- Kresley Cole) 9. Devlin (Shattered Legacy & Shadowed Legacy - Lora Leigh) 10. Mercury (Mercurys War-Lora Leigh) I could actually throw a blanket over the breeds series for tortured heroes, they all seem pretty battered, however, Mercury is the one that got to me most so he makes my top 10 of tortured heroes.
