Hate you too. - Book 1 of The Troubled Series
Ever thought that you were destined to do well?
That your life is starting to fall into place, and everything is going according to plan?
Great! But this isn't one of those stories.
For Thea St. James, she had always known that working for the biggest organization in the criminal justice field was what she wanted to do. Better yet, what she needed to do.
Her life back in England with her overbearing disapproving family became too much and she decided to make her dream, a reality and stop at nothing till she achieved it. With the help and kindness of her neighbours, Mary and Frank; Thea gets the news she's been waiting for. She will be the Communications Liaison for the International Criminal Communications Organization or the I.C.C.O. She will be looking at cases handed over from some of the world's biggest criminal justice organizations and seeing if they can offer an undercover and better approach to catching criminals in the act.
Now, the only thing stopping her from making this situation an exciting one is the fact she will be working under the unbearable womanizer that is Special Agent Sawyer Reid. Her enemy from the academy. A notorious narcissist who sleeps with women but then can never call them back as he is always too busy... flirting with someone else. He's charming, insufferable and repulsive. If you ask Thea, and every other woman he has ever came into contact with. And as much as she would like to say he doesn't do his job, he does. And for that, he is one of the top Agents in the organization. Until one day, he isn't.
Sawyer allegedly leaks private intelligence documents about the I.C.C.O’s biggest undercover operation to date and in the whim of his escape, drags Thea along as an accomplice. Much to her disgust. As much as they hate each other, until they can prove their innocence, they’re going to have to work together undercover. Something Sawyer has done plenty of times but Thea? Not so much.
So, when trouble meets troubled... can even hatred stand in their way of uncovering the truth?

I’ve read all of Torries books and they never disappoint, I’m looking forward to the next one!
There was a few spelling mistakes and a few sentences didn’t make sense but they were easily looked over and didn’t affect the flow of the book.

I don’t know what it is about this book I love so much, but I do just love this book so much. I am anticipating Loathe You Entirely, which will be book 2. I need to know what happens and how they resolve everything after that ending. I did require 5 – 10 business days to recover and come to terms with it, but now there is just excitement for the next one. I love how much of an effect Thea has on Sawyer and the way that woman can humble that man the way he deserves to be. There is also a massive found family aspect to this book as well, which is so well written, and I just want to be one of them and a part of their family.
