Stella Riley liked Marina Vaizey's review of The Player (Rockliffe, #3): "Superb about to say as always - in terms of discipline and talent a super human character in his way the equal of Rockcliffe. This series is remarkable: original, unexpected, complex characters, involved plots, lots of shade as well as light"

Stella Riley answered Carol Stall's question: What do you consider your best work so far? This is a tricky question and I'm not entirely sure I can answer it. However, the book that has always remained dearest to my heart is A Splendid Defiance - the reason being that it was my only chance to tell a true story that hadn't been told before See Full Answer

Quotes by Stella Riley

“his,”
― Stella Riley, Garland of Straw

“Sorry for you? he finished crisply. I thought you knew me better than that.'' "I did ... I do"

"Then why ask it? If you marry me, I'll make no more allowances than I did at Oakleigh less, perhaps. I'm not proposing to be your eyes-though I'd give you mine if I could. But I can't. And unless you love me, I've nothing at all to offer. For the simple fact is that it's I who need you and not the other way about.But only," he repeated, "if you love me. I don't think I can settle for less.”
― Stella Riley, The Parfit Knight
