LEX – The victim of a human trafficking ring, I was confined to a tiny bedroom with seven other women. The conditions were horrific. They’d taken my freedom, my clothes, and, eventually, what little hope I clung to. Then, one night, we heard gunshots. Prepared for the worst, I stood with my eyes fixed on the door, ready to meet my fate.And then, he opened the door.He saved me from the monsters. … door.
He saved me from the monsters. Then, he simply walked away.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that one day I would save him from his.
CHOLO – My focus was the Motorcycle Club, boxing, and work. I’d never been on a date. I guess it goes without saying that I’d never been in love, either. I had my share of sex, but my relationships always ended when the night was over. That all changed after I rescued her.
I wasn’t trying to be a hero, but she saw me as one. She said I saved her from the monsters.
Want to know the truth?
She saved me from mine.

Scott Hildreth has a talent for giving readers real characters, characters you can connect with on an emotional level and at times his characters struggles will mirror your own.
No matter what the subject matter, how dark or evil it may be, I easily find myself wrapped up in the story fairly quickly and unable to put the books down.
Another thing that pulls me towards the authors work are the heroines, yes he writes some of the sexiest alpha males with the filthiest mouths you’ll read about but it’s the strength of the females that I always recall.
Some of his heroines have been to hell an back but they made it through and they come out stronger with or without the help of others.
That brings me to Lex. After being kidnapped and going through some horrific shit she comes out of it pretty quickly figuring out that she’s got to work through the ordeal to move on. She refuses to let it define her or ruin her life.
It doesn’t hurt that she soon finds the man who saved her is willing to spend time with her, something that helps her get to her new normal.
Cholo’s a badass. He’s big and can be mean but he’s also shy and reserved, at least he is with Lex.
He sees how strong she is and while spending time with her he starts to have feelings, something he’s never experienced with a woman before.
He’s patient.
He’s by her side but never pushing, he’s what she needs when she needs it but it all moves along slowly and smoothly at her pace.
And yes, there’s plenty of MC stuff going on as well (specifically my boy Peebee spends a good bit of time in this one thank you SD) you still get your Filthy Fucker’s, a little backstabbing and action thrown in. I liked seeing so much of the other guys in this one an not just in a club capacity, their lives outside the club, working etc.
Once again I have not a bad word to say about this authors work, he continues to produce story after story that I can’t put down.
Another book by this author that has had me running through the whole gamut of emotions as I read it. I am on a Scott Hildreth binge, and every book has had me in tears. This is no different!
Lex experiences trauma that no person should experience, Cholo is there to rescue her and a connection is made, a friendship builds….and it’s just heartbreakingly beautiful. In turn Lex is there to support him at his darkest time…..and always is the brotherhood of the MC. The Filthy F*ckers will do what they need to do to protect what’s theirs.
Feeling kind of shell shocked right now as I try to take in and process Scott Hildreth’s newest release DIRTY. This book had everything I have come to expect from a Hildreth book and so much more. It was insanely intense, raw, dark at times and yet full of romance and hope.
The book opens with Alexandra as a kidnap victim from an infamous drug gang being forced into despicable acts. Right away you get a sense of just how strong she is . . . as she is willing to do everything, including place herself in the kidnappers path to try and keep her fellow kidnap victims safe from harm.
When an old family acquaintance asks for help finding her kidnapped daughter, Cholo finds a way to locate and rescue Alexandra and the rest of the victims he unexpectedly finds. Cholo is immediately intrigued by Alexandra and keeps finding ways to check up on her to see how she is doing.
Both Alexandra and Cholo have baggage, and Scott does an amazing job of building their relationship for readers. It is a slow and intense build, as neither is ready for commitment, yet done beautifully. Cholo’s mother Maria is a gem of a character and the MC brotherhood we have come to know and love through the first two books of this series also plan a large role in this intense tale.
DIRTY was for me the darkest and most intense book of this series so far. It contains harsh scenes of abuse and torture, that play a significant role in moving the plot forward. However, in true Hildreth fashion, along with the dark is the beautiful light of brotherhood and love for family, both old and new as well as hope for finding your way forward and out of the past and into the life that these characters so richly deserve.
I truly loved Lex and Cholo’s story and can’t wait to see where the series takes us next.
5 stars.
OK, I’m officially hooked on this series. DIRTY is definitely more of an edge of your seat type of book. The way this starts with Alexandra/Lex, that should happen to no one. And would be something she will have to live with through no fault of her own. But Cholo/Adam finds her and the others. Rescues them and then one of the sweetest love stories starts. Yes, there is a 10 year difference between Cholo & Lex, but the relationship that develops is a magical one. I loved Cholo’s awkward questions to Crip and Pee Bee. But their troubles are not over. The gang Cholo helped rescue the girls from, they now want their drug money.
This was one book I had a really hard time putting down. The detective shows up again, starting to like him a bit better, but he still calls Pee Bee “Peanut Butter”. Now, on to RIGID (see told you I was hooked!)
Another great addition to the series by Scott Hildreth, who writes books about MC romance like no other. This is the story of Lex (a young woman who’s life was far from easy and free) and Cholo (a bad ass MC member who is not afraid to show his softer side). This was a wonderful read full of what avid readers of Mr. Hildreth have come to know;loyalty, friendship, passion, action and tons of heat. Dirty does not disappoint readers with character chemistry as well as being reintroduced to characters from past books in the series. This book will make you laugh, cry, scream and root for Lexi and Cholo as their characters and the situations between them bloom and come to a great conclusion. Scott Hildreth is, hands down, one of my favorite authors!
