What is it about a man in leather that seems to do it for so many of us?

I love a man on a bike, it’s a bit of a weakness, so if a romance has any hint of that I’m all over it. And if it just happens to be a Motorcycle Club then my day is totally made. There’s just something about it that I can’t resist, especially if the Hero is an Alpha arsehole, although they do need to have some redeeming qualities – I think it’s the powerful, take no shit attitude as well as the fact that family, be it biological or extended, is everything to them. I’m sure it’s also got something to do with the dramatisation of the life, the danger and excitement that seems to surround them all the time as well as the mystery. It’s the fantasy that I would never really want to become a reality.

Horse from Reapers Property was like a rougher version of Tack and was probably more realistic as he was still involved in all the illegal aspects whereas Tack had been pushing his club to leave that behind. Horse was an even bigger arsehole but I still found a little space for him in my heart – he knew what he wanted and he went for it, even if he went about it the wrong way. He was hurt when Marie wouldn’t accept him even when he knew they were perfect together so he pushed her and protected her the only way he knew how.

I’m so grateful that this seems to be a popular trope at the moment for romance – I am really excited to see what this year brings and what other bikers I can get my teeth in to.
So are you like me or does the leather wearing biker not do it for you?? Are there any books that I NEED to read – either with bikers or if your feel like a challenge something that might get me hooked just as quick?
What a well-timed post! I just read Reaper's Property and it was the first motorcycle hero romance I'd read. Now I'm fascinated and can't wait to read more. Of course, Motorcycle Man immediately came to mind. I've moved that book up to the top of my TBR list. What do I read after that? I can't think of any other motorcycle club hero romances.
I also just finished Reapers Property and cant get enough of these stories. Motorcycle man is my next read. Are there any other books like Reapers Property to read?
Satin and Steel and Undeniable are both biker books that I adored.
@EROTICAT
Thx for the info. I will go to Amazon and ck them out. Who are the authors of the books?
@Melissa Cutler You could try Hot Ride by Kelly Jamieson – its a great story about an undercover operation in a Motorcycle club. Or the Black Knights Inc series by Julie Ann Walker – its not strictly a motorcycle romance but it does feature some nice bikes 🙂
@EROTICAT Thanks for the recs 🙂
@laura troxel I think the author to Satin and Steel is Jayna Vixen and the author of Undeniable is Madeline Sheehan – I've not read either although I do have Undeniable on my kindle – I've just delayed reading it as I have heard that it can be a bit of a tough one.
Yes those are the authors of both books, and both books were absolute page turners and have a good dose of angst, undeniable is a whole story and Satin and Steel is the first book in what could be a trilogy – it's hard to find info apart from on the author's facebook page.
