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
This story was another great addition to the Selected Sinners series. I really enjoyed reading Ex-Con by Scott. I think this was the best one so far right behind Bisquit which is another book that is my favorite in this series. I loved reading about Jack and Emily's story this was a fantastic read and I loved every minute of it. Scott's story telling and character realization is outstanding love how he creates the characters in the MC world and how the males are all strong and alpha type. Big Jack is caring and protective and also all alpha bad boy in the MC. Emily is young and has never been in a relationship until she meets Jack.
This is the 5th book in the series of the Selected Sinners series. I highly recommend this series and its a great one to follow since the beginning of the series.
