I give Trouble’s Wedding Caper (Familiar Legacy Book 8) by Jen Talty, 5 stars.
Trouble, the feline detective, is being taken care of by Annabel in Jupiter, Florida. He is all ready for a vacation and can’t wait. But it turns out she may need his help after all. She purchases a storage unit at an auction, without knowing the contents. But now someone seems to want the stuff back, and is willing to do anything to get it back. Not only that, but Annabel finds out the local cop is an old friend and someone she’s had a crush on since childhood. She is not ready to date again, but there is something about him. Should she try? Can Trouble help solve the storage unit mystery before it’s too late?
I am new to this series and wasn’t sure what to expect. I absolutely loved it! Trouble is fantastic and Annabel and Ethan are too. The story is fun, engaging, and full of romance and mystery. I love that it switches between the two human points of view, then adds in Trouble’s point of view too! This book reminds me of The Cat Who series but with romance thrown in. I read that series as a teenager and it is dear to my heart. That should show you how much I love this book. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
If you like romantic cozy mysteries and/or are a cat lover, this book is for you.

5 Stars!!!!!
Oh man this crazy cat lady was really hooked on this book. The author has a very unique story format and writing style. I really enjoyed the mix of romance and mystery. The whole story just really kept me glued to the book and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.
I really found the chemistry between Annabel and Ethan to be sweet. The whole sort of crushing on your best friend’s brother really makes this story realistic. I just love the fact that Trouble plays a big part in this book. A detective cat just adds such a cuteness to the book. I found that the author had a real unique way of bringing in the mystery around the story and characters. I like the idea of the cat helping bring the couple together and helping solve the case. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

Rated 4 stars
This is an enjoyable read with some romance and mystery. The characters were fun and outgoing. Each of the MC have come down a hard road. Now that they are both back in the same town a little romance could be in their future. Especially if Rosie has anything to say about it. I zipped right through this with all the interesting side stories. It reads very smoothly. Trouble(cat) is a fun fixture. He figures out how to communicate well with the humans. He is a good add to the story. I enjoyed how he tried to get his point across.
This is my first book by this author. I throughly enjoyed meeting the characters and that cat! I have not read any others in the series so this can be read as a stand alone. I recommend this story if you are looking for a fun flirty read with a mystery.

5 Stars
Ok so this was my first read by this author and I thought it was fantastic, I so loved taking a break from some of the heavier books I’ve been reading and take on one that did have its serious points but was just simply a lot of fun to read. It had a steady and smooth flow, just enough drama and mystery to keep me stuck to the pages and then enough POV’s so that I always knew what every character was thinking.
I will with no doubt be going and looking through what else this author has available because her writing style suited me perfectly and oh how I wish there were more with Trouble, I just loved this whole concept…
Many Thanks to this author for a fantastical read!!
Trouble’s Wedding Caper by Jen Talty a five-star read that will make you chuckle. This is the eight novel in the Familiar legacy series but you don’t need to have read them all, I have only read number two and five and now eight and I have loved them all, I am sure one day I will get to read them in order but until them I will just enjoy them as I fancy them. You will chuckle reading this one, as well as be kept guessing, Trouble will just make you want to wish he was real as who wouldn’t want a cat that supreme. The story is told from many perspectives so that can get a little confusing but the author deals well and keeps it interesting and clear.
Troubles Wedding Caper by Jen Talty is the eighth book in the Family Legacy series. This book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone though and does not have to be read in order.
I wasn’t familiar with this series before I read this book but I have really enjoyed it. The characters were easy to connect with and their story was interesting and fun. I liked that there was a bit of adventure to the story and that the pace was fast. It really kept me hooked into the book.
This author always seems to write a great book and this series is one I will be going back to start from scratch.
Trouble’s Wedding Caper by Jen Talty is the first book I’ve read by this author.
The book has some romance, friendships, suspense and breakups in it.
Annabelle and Ethan are old friends. She is best friends with his sister. Both are in relationships that quickly end in the beginning of the book. One drunken night at a wedding ends in someone doing a shot from someone’s belly button!
Here they are months later when Annabelle and Ethan run into each other again. Luckily for Annabelle, Ethan seems to stay semi close to her. She is a treasure hunter who just bought an abandoned storage unit. Someone is out to get Annabelle but with Trouble on the case, he doesn’t make it easy.
I thought this book was well written. I liked most of the characters but wasn’t into the whole cat saving the day storyline.
Trouble’s Wedding Caper (Familiar Legacy Book 8) By Jen Talty. I love a book with mystery and a bit of romance. The characters in this story are some of my new favorites and I loved reading their story and adventure. The author does a wonderful job of writing a story that had me so hooked I lost sleep on a work night! I simply couldn’t put it down until the last page. This story is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I can’t wait to read more from not only this series but this author. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.
This is the 8th story in the Familiar Legacy series and I read this as a stand-alone. It’s the first book I’ve read by this author.
I would classify this as a “cozy mystery” as it features a cat named Trouble who helps solve mysteries. TROUBLE is the thread that connects all of the stories in the series. He’s a special cat and it took me a few chapters to realize it was the cat’s “voice” at the beginning of each chapter. Cute cute cute.
The dialog and banter is sweet and the cat is just a amazing “He’s obviously never wrangled with an intelligent feline before, much less a master detective skilled in all tactical forms” hehehe. Oh, btw, I read the cat with an English accent.
This is a story that moves quickly from beginning to end. It held my attention and while at times it was obvious, other times I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong.
This is the type of book I would recommend to my mother’s elderly book club.
Trouble’s Wedding Caper is the 8th book in the Familiar Legacy book series by Jen Talty. It is the first I have read, so it can be read as a stand alone book. This book has a lot of drama, mystery, comedy and a dash of romance. It tells the story of Annabel, who returns to her small town home of Jupiter Florida after getting her heart broken in NYC. While at her best friend’s wedding, she finds her boyfriend cheating on her, and gets drunk with her best friend’s brother, and her high school crush Ethan. Flash forward months later, and they are both back home in Jupiter and turns out Ethan’s fiance was cheating on him as well. Maybe the time is finally right for them to act on their feelings they have been hiding for years. With the help of Ethan’s sister, and Annabel’s best friend, they go on their first date.
On top of all of that, there is a lot of strange things happening, most involving Annabel and weddings. She buys a storage unit full of wedding gowns, rings, invitations and presents. With the help of Trouble, a cat, who is more like a detective, Annabel and Ethan try to solve the crime. This book was unlike any I’ve read before, but I loved it. It was so cleaver and not at all cheesy as I thought it would be. I will be reading others in the series to see what fun they have in store.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It was not what I was expecting at all when I first read the blurb. This is the first book that I have read in this series so hence why I wasn’t expecting what I read but it has absolutely made me want to read more by this author now!
I loved the characters – Annabel and Ethan. Annabel was a determined character, she wanted to start over. I really enjoyed reading her story. There were some good twists in the story too. I really liked Ethan – he was just one of those characters you can’t help but like and then there is Trouble! Any book that has a cat in it is going to be a winner with me! I loved that about this story!
I thought that Trouble’s Wedding Caper was a fast paced story that was highly entertaining. I am looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.
This was an unexpected delight! A bit of suspense, some romance, friends to maybe something more, and a sassy cat… all the fixings of a thoroughly entertaining read. I loved how the author engaged the reader immediately. I immediately connected to all of the main characters. This was a great book and easily read as a stand-alone. However I am now going to be looking for the rest of the series and look forward to making myself familiar with Familiar.

Four Stars
This story was so fun. I loved how the author put it in the cats POV. I was more interested in what the cat thought then the actual story. The plot was interesting especially the deal with the wedding items. Annabel was a super sweet lady who didn’t deserve the treatment she received from her ex. But we shouldn’t stick in a relationship when it’s not heading anywhere. I really had fun reading this story it was a quick read. I think stories like this are great for taking breaks from the normal genres I read. It gives me time to appreciate the authors. Ethan is clueless though. How did he not notice? The author’s writing style flowed nicely so you didn’t have any moments that had you guessing. I like stories that are easy to follow.

This is an excellent story full of real life events of heartache from broken relationships and the possibility of finding love again with the right person. I love the fact that Annabel and Ethan are very relatable characters who are learning to trust again after their failed relationships went south after the wedding. This story has the right balance of romance and mystery with excellent character dialogue and development. I am a first time reader of Ms. Talty’s work, so I do look forward to more books from this talented author.
I would give this book a ten star rating for the realistic storytelling with wonderful twists and turns towards the end of this book. This is a fabulously fun read that is very hard to put down once you start reading so make plans to stay up for several hours tonight. If you love books with a Southern fun twist with a dose of feline mayhem, this book is for you. I will be reading more of the adventures of Trouble, the fabulous cat detective mystery series in the near future.

5 Stars
Troubles Wedding Caper is the eighth book in the Familiar Legacy Series by Jen Talty- and is a wonderful story full of romance and mystery. This is my first read by Ms. Talty, so I didn’t really know what to expect when I started on this book, but I can now say that it definitely won’t be the last of her work that I will be reading, as I am already looking at others I want to explore. I enjoyed this engaging, and clever mystery, and the interesting and relatable characters. The story had humour, danger, intrigue, drama, and of course romance.
I loved that we got to hear from several different perspectives, including Trouble, the cat. He’s such a posh and refined feline- his witty, some what sarcastic personality really shone through and he became quite the scene stealer.
A great little mystery that will keep you very entertained from beginning to end!
Can’t wait too read more of Ms. Talty’s work!
Thank you, Ms. Talty!
What would you do if you were Annabel when you discovered your boyfriend was sleeping with others?
Well, Annabel returns home to Florida and decides to try treasure hunting. Interesting and new to me. She bids on a storage unit and finds wedding dresses and other items. Not realizing she has now put herself in danger.
Trouble is back in Jupiter, Florida with Annabel. Can this brilliant cat detective with a sharp mind keep her safe? Will Annabel find love or romance with someone from her past?
Wonderful story written by a new author in the Trouble series.
Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone, but so much more fun to read in order and follow Trouble through each of his adventures.
I love Trouble! I just have no idea what to say about this story. It’s got the silly fun I fell in love with in the first book, along with the tricky clues and cunning red herrings that our feline sleuth and his human sidekicks have to sort through in order to learn the truth. Annabel and Ethan are adorable together. With Trouble’s ability to ferret out a lead, this trio might be unstoppable.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a romance-suspense story that took me on a journey of twists and turns that left me turning pages. My favorite character, is Trouble who is a cat. I also enjoyed how the author told parts of the story in his POV. Annabel and Ethan are also great characters and I loved their chemistry. Will they solve the wedding mystery and get their HEA at the same time? I highly recommend this fun, engaging book.
Trouble’s Wedding Caper by Jen Talty is the next addition to the Trouble series. This time Trouble finds himself staying in Jupiter, FL while Tammy Lynn is on a yacht with a friend to visit a remote island to examine some rare books.
Annabel has returned to Florida to start life again after breaking up with her long time boyfriend who just couldn’t commit. I liked Annabel as she is determined to start over and her next steps are buying storage units and then reselling the contents. Her first unit is a treasure trove of wedding gowns, jewelry and accessories. The goods are a mystery which she is determined to research to find the answers. The secondary characters are likable, especially Ethan. He’s a local sheriff who knew Annabel when she was younger so there’s an easy rapport between as they begin to unravel the mystery.
A quickly paced story that has just enough twists to keep readers guessing as Trouble unearths the clues for Annabel and Ethan to follow. The reveal shows Trouble at his finest as he takes down the suspect and helps Ethan rescue Annabel.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. All of the above opinions are my own.
