However, when she receives an unexpected birthday gift from her aunt that transports her back in time to 1568 Scotland, she meets a dashing Scottish outlaw who introduces her to a world of time-traveling keys. But on a return trip to the past, Jennifer's key is stolen by a villainous band of time travelers who will stop at nothing to collect all of the keys for themselves.

Kylie Stewart mispronounced words

I really enjoyed the plot and writing of this book and will look forward to more books in this series. What distressed me was Kylie Stewart mispronouncing words like "brigand" when her character was supposed to be clever and raised by a mother who was an editor. I enjoyed Ms Stewart's accents and reading style but hope the next audiobook is screened for pronunciation errors.

Not worth my time

I love time travel but I struggled to finish this story. I made it through but barely. Nothing about it kept my attention. Characters are shallow. There was no real storyline or climax... and the ending was non-existant. The narrator may have been part of the problem. She made the story more of a comedy to me. I can't recommend this book.

Fun Book!

The characters and their vessels are hilarious. Easy summer read that deals with time travel, romance, family, and of course shoes. Loved the two different narrators. Great first book from Janet Leigh, can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

Fabulous

The narrators were the best I have heard in the 100 or so books I have listened to. Storyline was very enjoyable. I sincerely hope there is a second book coming soon!!

Sadly Disappointed

The female voice was monotonous and lacks character. I felt like I was listening to a 6th or 7th grader phoning this one in. She just doesn't give Jennifer the fun filled spirit she deserves.The male voice had inflection and professional speaking skills. I did read the book when it first came out and loved the outhouse travel device as well as the wild, colorful family Jennifer belongs to. I recognized this book as a starter and have loved how it has grown with Jennifer in each adventure. I guess I'll just slowly read these on my own and deal with the eye issues. The books ARE worth the read.

Amazing!

This is such a great book! Love the original concept and great story! Author is so detailed you can imagine yourself in the scene. Great book!!!

I received a free copy to review

Don’t know if I can continue listening to this!

OMG I would think this was a book read by a female middle schooler. The inflections Kylie uses are driving me crazy! I don’t know if the story was written this way or just narrated horribly.
Why must almost every sentence be ended with
“(Fill in name) SAID”? The emphasis on the word said. If it wasn’t for the sex scenes, I’d think it was a middle school production. The male character’s narration is okay,.. but doesn’t make up for the rest. Disappointing! the reviewer SAID.

Fabulous funny intriguing!

Loved this audio book it grabbed me from the start! The story line was unique (an outhouse to time travel in wow)and the narrators did a fabulous job with the voices and accents. Highly recommend ! I’m looking for other books by this author.

Fun Adventure!

I love great characters going on great adventures and this one fit the bill. Fun book! I enjoyed the Jennifer's personality. I thought it was funny. I've listened to quite a few audio books and felt that the narrators did a great job. It probably helped they had good writing material to go by. I enjoyed it. The trick though is to give yourself a distraction free environment to listen in. You can't tune in and out of this book or you will get lost.

I will look for more in the series...hopefully those audio books are coming soon!

The shoes come first

I enjoyed this odd time travel novel.Who would have thought you coud travel in an outhouse? Jennifer likes buying shoes.That is actually her job,until she loses it.She realizes that a trait passed down through the family may just be her passion,if she can master it. It is fun and sexy. Kylie Stewart and Eric Rolon were terrific narrators. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'
