About the Book

She's an overachieving law student who's not looking for love, so why can't she resist the mysterious newcomer? Outspoken and abrasive, law student Isabel enjoys arguing with just about everyone, including her friends. Her strained relationship with her mother, less-than-stellar job prospects and frustrations with the conformist culture of Washington, DC have left her resentful and unfulfilled. When she meets Tarek, a new fellow student who dares to challenge her, she is intrigued but skeptical. While Isabel is risk-averse where her feelings are concerned, she is also becoming increasingly curious. She's afraid to get close, because being vulnerable always lead to being hurt, doesn't it?

About the Author :
Maria 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 with her family.

Review :
"The story is sweet and funny (some dialogues will make you laugh!) and romantic too but well adapted to our modern days. Easy to read and always making you want to know what is coming next! I fell in love with Isabel and Tarek. They are both living in a sort of too shallow and fast world for them but they find their way to adapt because they have brains and use them. The only struggle I see is that they both know what they want and the many possibilities that comes with that realization of knowing plus the logical thinking -being so aware of reality- a mix that makes it all a little more complicated but trust me: super fun for the reader! How everything develops between them is cute and I loved how the author achieved to make it sexy too without recurring to the bad taste of many other love-romance authors out there. The rest of the characters and their personalities are very interesting as well. There was some sort of mystery left hanging in relation to the personal lives of Isabel and Tarek before they've known each other that I hope gets revealed in the next books." "Romance is the spice of life and "Miscalculated Risks" is a story of the heart. It's the story of Isabel Villanova, an beautiful, intelligent and hardworking 30ish woman who has put her heart on hold waiting for someone who can match her strength and passion. Not willing to settle for less, she meets someone who maybe, just maybe can pass all the tests." "A light, fun read. I finished it in a couple days, which is quick for me. I kept wanting to know what happens next. The characters are very well written. What I enjoyed the most was how realistic the romance between Isabel and Tarek was. I can't wait for the next instalment!" "Riegger is at her best when Isabel and Tarek are together--love their dialogue and Isabel's reactions to him! Can't wait to see what happens in the next book!" "I loved this book! I wasn't sure I would really enjoy a book that had anything to do with law school to be honest but I was pleasantly surprised. When I started reading the book it was hard to put down. I loved the characters Isabelle and Terek. They have this cute flirtation going on the whole time and you just want them to get together already and live happily ever after. It's funny, romantic, thought provoking, and leaves you wondering what is going to happen next. I could relate to a lot of Isabelle's thoughts about men and the world in general. I definitely recommend this book!" "If you like witty repartee amidst a legal background, this book is for you! Quick read set amongst a law school background- it will certainly resonate with law school students. The dialogue is quick and sharp. You'll be cheering for Isabel and Tarek and the tension between them by the end of the first novel in this series." "It happens when you least expect it! Miscalculated Risks is an enjoyable debut from Maria Riegger. DC women will relate to Isabel as a smart, strong-willed woman who has fought hard to get what she wants but feels a hint of sadness once she's there. I won't give away the plot, but let's just say you'll be wanting the next book in the series "stat." Well-written with a "slow burn" romance woven throughout the narrative."
