Born in Visalia, California, I'm a small town girl at heart. I love central California's golden foothills, oak trees, and the miles of farmland. In my mind, there's nothing sweeter in the world than the heady fragrance of orange blossoms on a sultry summer night.

As a little girl I spent hours on my bed, staring out the window, dreaming of far off places, fearless knights, and happy-ever-after endings. In my imagination I was never the geeky bookworm with the thick coke-bottle glasses, but a princess, a magical fairy, a Joan-of-Arc crusader.

My parents fed my imagination by taking our family to Europe for a year when I was thirteen. The year away changed me (I wasn't a geek for once!) and overseas I discovered a huge and wonderful world with

Writing & Readers & You

I’ve been writing a lot these past few weeks, and it’s been good for me, my brain, and my mood.  I struggle with resistance, battling imaginary forces that tell me the story is not strong enough, that my ability isn’t what it was, that the market doesn’t need me now (wow!  Lots of less-than-loving thoughts). Still, eventually the deadline means there is no more not writing, and after a day or two,

Original, Engrossing and Delightful

I have now read nearly everything by Stella Riley and this one was just as wonderful and satisfying as the others. I love the world she has created and it’s such a treat to return there again and again.

Lovely Read! Almost a Fairytale.

A wonderful story, it kept me completely engrossed. I loved our older heroine who absolutely deserved true love, and a happy ever after. One of my favorite stories by GL Robinson.

Excellent Regency Read

After struggling through a recent historical romance it was such a relief and pleasure to read Necessary Deception. I loved the original plot, clever dialogue and character growth—as well as the very satisfying ending. Very fun!

Couldn’t Put it Down!

I devoured this one. I’ve loved every book in the series but wasn’t sure that I’d like Hazard as much, but it delivered and then some. Stella Riley is a talented writer and every book she writes is a true page turner.

Quotes by Jane Porter  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Yet happiness isn't something you chase, it's something you are. It's something you think, it's something you believe.”
Jane Porter, Odd Mom Out

“All warfare that is not defensive is criminal.”
Jane Porter, The Scottish Chiefs

“God forgive her, but underneath the smiles and the good job and the great family, she was tired. Desperately tired. Tired to the point of breaking. In the last few years the exhaustion had grown, rising up like a specter to knock on her door. No one knew, she hadn't told even Kit, but in the past year she'd begun to question her entire existence. Why was she even here? What was life? Was she even necessary?
Maybe all women had these thoughts. Maybe all women felt tired. But the thoughts confused her. Good women weren't supposed to have doubts. Good women were supposed to be strong and selfless. Instead Meg felt needy and afraid. What if there was no reward for all the hard work? What if life was just one sacrifice after another?”
Jane Porter, The Good Woman
