Stilettos & Secrets on the 7 Seas: A Jennifer Cloud Time Travel Novel

by Janet Leigh

When a Time-Traveling Chiropractic Assistant meets a Rowdy Band of Pirates, trouble is in the wind, and the Golden Age of Piracy may never be the same.

Jennifer Cloud, a transporter for the World Traveler Federation, is determined to lead a mission, but only male Defenders get that job. Her current defender, the hunky, He-man Marco Ferrari, has decided, against her better judgment, to stay in Nassau 1718, an island run by unscrupulous pirates, shady smugglers, and convenient courtesans.

When Marco doesn’t return to the present, Jennifer’s boss gives her the green light to save him, but her current beau, the impossibly handsome Scotsman Caiyan McGregor, isn’t happy about her solo mission–or that she’s helping the He-man. If she accepts the mission, it could delay the much-anticipated marriage proposal from her sexy and secretive Scottish lover.
However, the tides turn after Jennifer embarks on the mission and finds herself aboard a ship captained by the infamous pirate Charles Vane. While looking for a lost relic, roadblocking a ruthless brigand, rescuing her defender, and saving a past historical figure from losing his life, she finds herself engaged to not one but two men.

At least she brought her lucky red stilettos.

With the help of her fellow transporter, Ace, and a bit of luck, Jennifer makes waves on the seven seas by ensuring the unruly pirate captains do as history has recorded. But will she get her sea legs in time to prevent the bloodthirsty brigands from plundering all her hard work?

Stilettos & Secrets on the 7 Seas braids adventure and romance into an action-packed tale through time. Join Jennifer Cloud on this heart-pounding and humorous maritime journey.

Wow! Jennifer Cloud does it again - she provides a fun, witty and (sometimes) nail-biting adventure. This heroine knows what she wants and doesn't mind breaking a few rules to do it. Her time with the pirates kept me guessing how it was all going to work out. Per usual, things don't always go as planned, but it was thrilling to read as the story progressed. Jennifer's humor had me laughing throughout the entire book. I thoroughly enjoyed going back in time and spending time on a pirate ship. It was really exciting for some of the long-term plot lines to come together in this book. A great read with the typical funny quips I've come to expect from Jennifer Cloud. A great read full of adventure and fun!

Who doesn’t love a pirate adventure! Jennifer Cloud travels back in time to save a friend and set things right, but when she boards a pirate ship in the Bahamas, nothing goes according to plan. Getting the treasure and her friends home safe proves to be trickier than anticipated. Jennifer needs to prove herself on this mission, but some swashbuckling obstacles create some challenges. I love this series , and every book is filled with adventure, romance, and undeniable girl power. It’s hard for me to put these books down once I get started. And just try to read them without hearing the characters’ accents! Fantastically fun read!

Jennifer and the gang are back, this time as pirates. I was given this book to read and review, I have read every book from the beginning and loved them all. I have not read any other books like these. All the boxes are checked: mystery,romance, comedy,and the best part is the time travel is not sci-fi. Janet Leigh actually does her research and makes the story interesting about the timeline she sends her characters to. In this one they are in Nassau Bahamas in 1718. Pirates and Long John Silver. I was hooked from the first page. I highly recommend reading this book and the rest in the series. You will not be disappointed 😀

Another great Jennifer Cloud book! Very well thought out and entertaining! I’ve never liked time travel anything until the Jennifer Cloud Series. This one was extremely hard to put down. I love the evolution of the characters and it leaves it open for so much more! Thank you Janet Leigh for another great story! Please keep them coming!! I love how Janet Leigh always keeps you wanting more. When one love interest closes, another one opens. Even though you know how you want things to go, you can’t help thinking “what if”.

If you like the adventure of Pirates of the Carribbean and Treasure Island , mixed with time travel, and a dash of romance, then this book is for you. It is number 7 in the Jennifer Cloud series, but is possible to read as a stand-alone. The story is full of action, mystery, nail biting situations, romance and humor all woven together to create a non-stop entertaining ride. It's hard to put the book down when you find yourself dying to know how this adventure is going to play out with its many plot twists and turns. I give it a 3 thumbs up and am anxiously awaiting her next assignment!

Jennifer is back in 1718 pirate times, but when Marco deviates from their mission, she's forced to step up and lead. Caiyan is still a wanted man in more ways than one. When a chest from the past is delivered to the future, all hands are on deck to go back in time and reset the timeline as well as a quest for treasure.

I enjoyed the adventure with the whole gang and the new characters that were essential to the story. I loved that just once everyone was in agreement that it's OK if the past changed.

Stilettos & Secrets on the 7 Seas is a swashbuckling mix of time travel, romance, and pirate intrigue that kept me hooked from start to finish. Jennifer Cloud is witty, daring, and refreshingly human, her voice makes every twist and turn feel like an adventure you want to be part of. The pirate setting is vibrant and dangerous, but the humor and heart woven through the story make it irresistible. A clever, fast-paced, and wonderfully entertaining read for anyone who loves time travel with a dash of sass and romance on the high seas.

In her 7th adventure, Jennifer Cloud joins a Pirate crew and sails the Caribbean searching for the Kings Key. Black Sails meets the 21st century as Jennifer time travels back to the 1700s (in an Outhouse if you must know) to help her friends search for a missing key. If you love mystery, romance with some fashion and a large dose of humor then this series is for you! Follow Jennifer on her quest to help the WTF (lol) save the world from the ones who are trying to change history!

In Janet’s 7th book in the Jennifer Cloud series, Jennifer transports to the Bahamas and embarks on a swashbuckling, pirate adventure. She boards a pirate ship as a healer with intentions of rescuing Marco, finding the King’s Key, and ends up engaged to the Captain. Romance and humor tangles up with history in this time traveling adventure. Engaging characters and plot twists will keep you turning the pages.

Another great time travel jump by Janet Leigh! I was a Stephanie Plum reader, (kinda still am) until Jennifer Cloud and her outhouse landings in history... Stiletto's & Secrets standing alone it's fantastic, reading volumes 1-6 will make you crave more. Dive in...you won't regret it!

Love Time Travel
This is a wonderful time travel adventure, that had me finding it difficult to put this one down. I enjoyed this one more than I have words for! I Loved every page!

[Jerrie Downing · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a fun series- with a premise similar to the TV show, Timeless, but with a much more fun cast of characters. The 7th book in the series did not disappoint!

Marco is trapped in 1718 with pirates, and Jennifer will stop at nothing to bring him back- even if that means she has to bend a few rules and step up to lead as only she can.

This is a witty, fun, suspenseful, time traveling, romantic comedy, that is a perfect read just in time for summer. Trust me, binge the whole series. You will love it!

This entire series is so fun and I like going into each book knowing I’m going to be entertained - big comfort reads for me.
