Six Weeks of Love & Larceny

by Rebecca Gould Baeurle

Six weeks. Two sisters. One very bad idea.

Nikki Taylor’s college life in Philly is already a high-stakes balancing act—juggling classes, two jobs, and an empty bank account. She doesn’t have time for games. But when a cocky, dark-eyed customer leaves his phone number instead of a tip, she answers the challenge—and steps straight into the arms of Chris Sheppard, a charming Temple student with secrets of his own.

Meanwhile, her older sister Lauren is holding it all together. Barely. A lifestyle columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, Lauren prefers to keep things professional, predictable, and strictly in control. That is, until her new intern uncovers a potential date rape drugs and a citywide drug ring creeping onto college campuses.

As Nikki’s romance intensifies and Lauren’s investigation deepens, the sisters’ stories converge in unexpected—and dangerous—ways. Because love might be blind, but someone is watching. And what began as flirtation and first dates is spiraling into something much different.

Witty, romantic, and charged with tension, Six Weeks of Love and Larceny is a modern-day love story with a criminal twist—where sisterhood is everything, and trust can be a deadly gamble.

I loved this novel, filled with adventure, deep relationships and suspense. I look forward to reading the 2nd book in the upcoming series of three. The author knows how to hook the reader by carefully developing the characters as well as the surroundings in which scenes take place, so you feel like you know the characters and are with them in their adventures. Some remind me of people I know, understand and can relate to easily. She sometimes repeats a scene from the respective of a second character, a technique I find interesting since it makes me wonder how often in my own life others view the same experience in a completely different way. I also love the legitimate introduction to the Philly scene and will surely follow up by exploring the city and visiting some of the spots described. Go Eagles!
