EDGEWOOD, NM—The romance world has long been divided over one deeply personal, highly controversial issue: How much hair is too much hair?
This timeless debate has been fought in book club forums, heated social media threads, and drunken Girls’ Night Out discussions for years.
But now, one bold MC romance novel has waded into the battle, tackling the topic head-on—with one fictional biker delivering the definitive, growly verdict on how much manscaping is truly acceptable.
Biker Hero Has Thoughts
The latest steamy release from bestselling romance author Hope Stone has readers furiously dog-earing pages after an unexpectedly passionate monologue delivered by the book’s broody, tattooed hero, Hawk.
“What? You thought I’d be one of those bare-smooth, waxed-to-the-skin types? Baby, I’m a man. I ride a Harley, I fight for what’s mine, and I let my body do what nature intended. No one ever looked at a lion and thought, ‘You know what would make this guy hotter? A fresh Brazilian.’”
While the heroine in the novel remains too flustered to reply, romance readers certainly did not.
“I gasped out loud,” admitted Stephanie M., 29, who read the passage in a public coffee shop and was promptly asked to leave.
“This is the hill he’s choosing to die on? A fully grown biker with a gun has zero opinions on murder but strong opinions on ‘clean lines’?”
Romance Community Divided
Hawk's hairy manifesto has ignited a firestorm within the romance reader community, as debates rage on about whether a perfectly manscaped outlaw is even believable.
“A biker spending 45 minutes in his clubhouse bathroom with a pube trimmer? Unrealistic.” — TattooedBookworm69
“Sorry, but if you expect me to believe a man who murders people for a living also books routine wax appointments, I’m out.” — HEA4Eva
“Y’ALL AREN’T READY FOR THE CONVERSATION ABOUT LANDING STRIPS.” — SpicyReads4Lyfe
But not all readers are against Hawk's bold stance on bush acceptance.
“If the heroine doesn’t have to be ‘perfectly hairless except for her eyebrows,’ then neither does he. LET HIM HAVE HIS SCRUFF.” — DirtyAndThriving
“A true alpha hero would NEVER book a back-to-back chest and groin wax, and that’s a fact.” — SmuttierThanYou
At the time of publication, over 300 screenshots of Hawk's now-infamous "Pube Monologue" had been posted in romance Facebook groups, alongside furious (and possibly tipsy) arguments over what level of grooming is truly authentic for an outlaw biker hero.
Hope Stone Responds
After receiving an influx of DMs, author Hope Stone was forced to issue a public response regarding her creative choices.
“I never expected this to be the biggest takeaway from my book,” she admitted. “The plot is about betrayal, love, and redemption—but sure, let’s talk about pube politics instead.”
Still, she stands by Hawk's commitment to the natural order of things.
“He’s a leather-wearing, gun-carrying, loyalty-obsessed biker,” she said, sipping wine straight from the bottle. “Did you really think he was out here getting a full-body sugar wax every three weeks?”
A Debate That Will Never End
While Hawk's words may have rocked the romance world, industry experts predict this will not be the last time the pubic hair debate shakes the book community.
Readers remain as divided as ever, some demanding more naturally rugged heroes, while others firmly believe that a man who commits arson should, at minimum, have a basic grooming routine.
For now, the discussion rages on.
