Black Ops: Project R.O.O.T #3
Exploiting AJ
AJ “Two-Hands” Hoover isn’t afraid of getting dirty. She’s been playing in the mud for years, learning the system and taking down bad guys. What she hasn’t mastered yet, is how to control her heart when it comes to her best friend, Scotty “Ears” Reisner. She’d do anything for him, but could she pretend to be in love with him or become his submissive without losing him in the end?
Scotty doesn’t have a submissive bone in his body. When Asher, leader of R.O.O.T, assigns them to an older, more seasoned FBI agent, Thomas Kaine, for an undercover operation to help Murray Jacobs recover his sister, Scotty has his doubts. Playing a role he’s not comfortable with can only end badly for them. So, instead, he’s stepping up and doing the one thing he’s wanted to do from the beginning—claim AJ.
Thomas Kaine will do whatever it takes to reunite family. He’s taken the fledglings, AJ and Scotty under his wing to not only protect them but expose both to a world he’s been a part of for years, however what he didn’t expect was falling for both of them. Now, they’re in a race against time.
When a night of debauched pleasure ends with Scotty being kidnapped, Thomas and AJ must work together to find him. However, when he turns up at Emporio de Monstruo (Emporium of Monsters) and on the auction block, their mission goes from bad to worse.
Can Thomas and AJ save Scotty before he’s sold to the highest bidder, or will they be running out of time?

This book was absolutely fantastic and smoking hot and filled with suspense . This book had me hooked from page one until the end and just blew me away. I was on the edge of my seat and wanting more and more from these 3 and my heart hurt for A.J. And Scotty but when Thomas let them on his past it broke for him too. 3 broken people who end up working on a case in the sex trafficking scene with disabled men and women but when Scotty who is deaf gets kidnapped can they get him back or will he be lost forever in a cartel sex ring? I absolutely loved this book and this is my first book by the author and nose I'm absolutely hooked.

Thomas, AJ and Scotty
Exploiting AJ is the third book in the ROOTS series and is the hottest one yet. This one features Scotty, AJ, and FBI Agent Thomas Kaine. These three are needed to help Murray retrieve his sister, who was kidnapped ten years ago, from a sex club in Mexico run by a cartel. Thomas will pose as a Dom and Scotty and AJ will pose as his “toys”. Thomas doesn’t have to pretend though because he’s the real thing who likes to be called Daddy. He schools Scotty and AJ and feeling spark. Only one problem. Scotty has a dominant streak and AJ has two Doms. After a night of passion Scotty is kidnapped by the same cartel and ends up in Mexico in the place Murray’s sister is and they are up for auction. The team now has to one of their on to save now. This book has drama galore and is action packed. It has lots of hot steamy scenes and will keep you reading past your bedtime. Even though there are quite a few misspelled words I have to give this one 5 big stars.

This story captured me from page one. It brought out all my emotions.
The ones in this story have to cross lines they don't know they can in order to save their loved ones from some very sick people.
Will Aj, Scotty, and Thomas find the love and security they are starving for? Will they save the ones they are looking for?
I could go on and on about how amazing this story is. You just have to read it yourself.

Very good introduction to new authors in the Operation Alpha series. This story has been well crafted around some very interesting characters.

Good read
Very different from most of the series, but it was a good read. It concerns a three some, which isn't something I usually read.

Thomas, AJ, & Scotty
This is the third book in the R.O.O.T. Series and a part of the Special Forces: Operation Alpha world, and it’s great. I’m seriously enjoying this series and the authors writing styles. Thomas, AJ and Scotty need to go undercover as a triad for a rescue mission, things go seriously wrong, and the race against time to complete the mission is action packed and sooo hot.

Amazing
Wow the chemistry between AJ, thomad and Scotty was super intense and hot!!! I loved this book and love the journey into bdsm. Now what I do wish the author had was better transition between their night in the motel and Scotty getting kidnapped. I was confused by it and it just didn't flow into the story line. Once you got past that part everything seemed to flow perfectly. I do wish the epilogue was more about them but good entry way to the next chapter.

ALL OF THEM
This book deserves more than 3 stars but the authors try to comprise so much info that all is convoluted. Lot of characters, problems and adding the BSDM to the lot.
The 1st book shows heterosexuality, the 2nd homosexuality and this is M/M/W in a BSDM environment. This book could be done in two but the authors try to comprise it in one.
Mixing R.O.O.T., FBI, and other agencies, personal likes. Sometimes less is more. I recommend the authors to edit as much as possible and look for an ARC from their readers.
I like the 1st book, but with the 2nd the load of info is overwhelming. That's why I choose a 3 star rating

The next two books in this series share the same main story only giving each book different main characters.A J. Scotty and Thomas all work forR.O.O. T. Agree to have a relationship with each other to be able to help rescue Murray’s sister and Jacqueline’s Brother. How their relationship develops is written sensitively well in parts emotional full twists and turns each dealing with their part life experience. While dealing with dangerous situations .

So good page turner
This series is so good. The story lines are fantastic and I love the military touch of the team and what they stand for and helping those they can help and protect. I was mildly surprised to have scenes in here with mfm, it just added an extra to an already incredible story.
Can’t wait to read book 4
