About the author
Maria Riegger
13 books114 followersMaria Riegger is based in the Washington, DC area. She is a banking /corporate attorney by day (but please don't hold that against her), and a fiction author by night.
Maria is a Gemini whose head has always been in the clouds. From a young age, her mother scolded her for not paying attention; when she was bored, she would make up stories in her head. Her greatest fear is boredom. She has been writing since she was about thirteen years old. A lover of languages, she speaks French, Spanish, Catalan and some Portuguese; and has lived in the U.K., France and Spain.
She has been caught air-guitaring in public. She loves to laugh, and is the “go-to” person if a friend needs someone to laugh at his lame jokes. In true Gemini fashion, she indulges both her logical personality as an attorney as well as her creative fiction-writing personality. She loved law school and even misses it, which led her friends to conclude that she is certifiable.
A native of the Washington, DC area, she is a political junkie who has respect for all views and who admires the political involvement of Americans. She loves nothing more than a solid political discussion where all views are represented.
When not writing or lawyering, she can be found doing a myriad of activities including reading, traveling, volunteering, and basically anything else that is not housework.
Maria lives right outside of Washington, DC.

Maria describes Isabel's emotions and fears brightly. and she has a lot of material to work with. The book isn't short, but you can quickly fall into the cadence of the characters lives and how they view other students. After I finished, I felt like a couple of friends had moved away.
This is the second book in a series of three. You probably should start with book one.
Well done!

Recap: Isabel, a Washington DC law student in her thirties, juggles work with study and falling in love with fellow law student Tarek.
Review: Dialogue makes up most of this novel and it's done well, I didn't find myself stuttering whilst reading it or thinking that it sounded unbelievable. Initially I thought Isabel was acting like a teenager about her feelings for Tarek but then I realised that's the whole point, her reaction to being in love was beyond her control and driving her crazy. Isabel's insecurities and her reactions to her family were very realistic. I don't read a lot of romance but I do enjoy a love story and the satisfaction of the two characters coming together.
