MY REVIEW
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A Personal Note from Scott About Himself and His Personal Journey with this Book
I began riding with my first MC after 20 years of riding alone. Although I didn’t know it at the time, immediately following my introduction to the club, I became the target of an ATF investigation.
The investigation ended when a helicopter, over 30 ATF agents, US Marshalls, and countless other SWAT Team members converged on me one day.
I was indicted on more than two dozen criminal counts, and given the option to plead guilty to one and receive a light sentence (probation). If I fought them, they explained, I would face life in prison.
Well, I’ve never been one to give up easy, so I chose to fight.
And I fought all the way to the US Supreme Court.
The fact I lost my case didn’t really matter to me. Fighting was more important. Standing up when most citizens would sit down had always been my nature.
My time in prison wasn’t easy, but I made it the best I was able. The days drug on forever, at least initially. In time, my mind made sense of it all, and digested it as being a new way of life; my only choice, so to speak.
In EX-CON, Jack’s thoughts, feelings, decisions, and actions were mine. What he felt, thought, and went through in the book is accurate down to the smallest of details.
My experiences in life cause my books to have more ‘feel’ than a conventionally written novel. EX-CON is no exception. It’s gritty, real, and raw as are most of my novels. But one thing it has that no other Scott Hildreth novel shares.
300 pages of compassion.
Enjoy knowing a little more about me. And enjoy EX-CON, which is a reflection of part of my life.

SYNOPSIS
People break promises. It happens every day.
Jack Shephard is tall, muscular, covered in tattoos, and rides in an Outlaw Motorcycle Club. Most people wouldn’t believe a word he said based on his appearance alone.
But they don’t know Jack like I know Jack, and Jack made me a promise.
There’s one small problem. Jack’s been arrested on a murder charge he didn’t commit, and he’s facing life in prison.
But he promised me he’d always come home.
And Jack doesn’t break promises.
EX-CON is a stand-alone, no cheating, no sex outside the relationship, HEA story of love, loss, second chances, and living life outside of the boundaries most citizens live in. It is Book V in the Selected Sinners series of MC Erotic Romance novels, and is able to be enjoyed fully as a stand-alone. To experience the series in full, Making the Cut, Taking the Heat, Otis, HUNG, and EX-CON may, however, all be read (in that order).
MY REVIEW
“‘I like it when you look at me like you were a minute ago. It makes me feel good. And when you said what you said, the beautiful thing? Yeah, that really made me happy. You intimidate me, like a lot. I feel comfortable with you, protect - but you scare me. I’m afraid I’m going to do something and you’re going to just snap and say something like Okay, Em, that’s it. Sorry, but you failed, and I don’t want that to happen.’”
5 stars!! I love all of Scott’s books and this one was no exception! I love a good MC book and I love a good romance and trust me this book had it!!!

Em was in a sexual slump and way over drunk men. While at a club one night, she meets a man who decides that since she’s dressed the way she was he has the authority to grope her. Having enough, she walks away, but drunk boy isn’t having it. In walks Jackson, the sexy biker, who doesn’t take men hurting women lightly. After he beats the living daylights out of him, he strikes up a conversation with Em and tells her that he’s not sure they could ever have a real relationship because he’s a DOM and he doesn’t take relationships lightly. But Em is up for the challenge, she wants to learn, she wants this new man to stay in her life. He agrees to take her on dates to test her out and see if she’s really a submissive and if she passes certain tests, then we will take their relationship to the next level. She of course passes the test and they venture into their new relationship. After weeks together, they fall in love and commit to each other. He values his motorcycle club and he values her more than anything but when he’s arrested on a murder charge everything could change. Jackson always promised that he’d never leave her and he never breaks a promise. This book was so amazingly good!! I read it in one sitting and I loved it, again I love anything Scott writes and this book was no different!!
