GUESS WHICH ROMANCE AUTHOR
PARTIED WITH THE HELLS ANGELS??
If the Universe hadn’t already had enough fun letting me speak to a Hells Angels prospect…
​
Or teasing me senseless with that lone fully patched rider roaring past like some leather-clad fever dream… It clearly decided to go ALL IN.
​
Because somehow - and I still don’t know how - this spicy romance author found herself invited to the HELLS ANGELS Christmas party.
Maybe the stars aligned?
Maybe Mars winked at Venus?
Maybe the Universe just enjoys watching me emotionally unravel?
​
So, what is a star-struck writer with a weakness for biker mythology and a wildly overactive imagination supposed to do when the Universe hands her an invitation like that? Someone who has never been particularly good at restraint when inspiration comes calling?
​
Obviously… I turned up.
​
Angels Place in Sunderland - a building with history of its own, built in 1711, one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city. Which feels entirely appropriate for the clubhouse of one of the oldest - and undeniably biggest - motorcycle clubs in the world. Power recognises power, after all.
​
Inside?
Leather.
Rock.
Low, rumbling laughter that settled somewhere deep in your…ahem…stomach.
Tattoos, beards, piercings… broad shoulders, solid presence, unapologetic masculinity.

Reader friends - I was officially in MC ROMANCE FANTASY LAND!
​
It wasn’t just the Angels either, but local bike clubs too, all gathered under one roof. The atmosphere was electric, welcoming, and charged in a way that’s hard to put into words. I found my brave for once (with a little help from liquid courage), debated Triumphs vs Harleys, lined shots up at the bar, and soaked in every second like a woman who knew this night was going straight into the memory vault.
​
And yes - because I am who I am - I may have picked up one or two book ideas along the way (Thanks, Bam 😉)
It was hands-down THE CHRISTMAS PARTIES OF ALL CHRISTMAS PARTIES!
​
But here’s the part that surprised me most as I stood right in the heart of biker territory. These men were some of the most genuinely gentlemanly people I have ever met. Confident without being arrogant. Protective without being overbearing. Respectful, warm, and quietly attentive, even while looking like they could snap me and the laws of physics in half.
​
Leather.
Beards.
Muscle.
And manners.
​
My dear dark-romance readers - this wasn’t a den of danger.
It was a bakery full of DANGEROUSLY HOT CINNAMON ROLLS.
​
Thank you, HELLS ANGELS, TYNE & WEAR.

You didn’t just make my year — you set a benchmark. And I’m fairly certain 2026 is already struggling to compete.
