Hello and welcome to my little corner of the web!
I’m Liana Laverentz, and I write deeply emotional and satisfying stories with a hint of danger and enough spice to keep you turning the pages.  A bit of a free spirit, I live my life with faith, courage, passion, commitment, compassion, and fidelity.  I do my best to write about heroes and heroines with those same qualities.  Heroes and heroines you would love to spent time with, invite into your home, and hold in your heart with a special place on your keeper shelf. 

So sit back, relax and step into my world, a journey into romance that takes you away from the daily grind and challenges of your life for a few precious hours.  My goal is to leave you closing the book with a smile and a sigh.
I also invite you to visit my blog, where I share my thoughts on life, lies, love, and laughter.  Popular topics there include the life and times of my friend Louis, my challenges in dealing with women’s health and wellness, mini-travelogues about my trips to conferences and other places, my soup for the homeless ministry, my ongoing journey of faith and gratitude, helpful articles about living a balanced life and writing, and guest author spots on occasion.

I have a steadily growing group of followers and as a small thank you, every month I choose a name randomly from my blog commenters to win an autographed copy of either Thin Ice, Jake’s Return, or Ashton’s Secret--winner’s choice.  So if you’d like to throw your hat in the ring, stop by and leave a comment. 
I also have a blog dedicated to the subject of PMDD, and a matching PMDD website designed to help educate the millions of women who suffer from this confusing, chaotic, and debilitating brain disorder that disrupts (and quite often destroys) our daily lives—as well as the lives of the people we love.  For PMDD affects not only us, but our relationships with everyone we come in contact with.  And I mean everyone.  So for more information on what you can do to help your friend, lover, spouse, or relative who is suffering, please stop by.

Here on the website, I also post some of my more popular Musings, and have provided a list of talks and workshops I’ve prepared for workshops and conferences.  For more information on those, please go to my Events page.

Thank you again for stopping by, and until we meet again, all the best to you and yours.

Reviews for Thin Ice

From Fallen Angel Reviews:  Thin Ice by Liana Laverentz is a romantic story that can’t be missed. I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster the whole time. This story will grab you and hold on to you until the very end. You can’t help but feel connected to Emily Jordan; she a strong woman, a great doctor and a loving mother. You feel that her life is passing her by. She had too many heartaches and wounds that won’t heal. Eric is the perfect partner for her. He’s a caring and loving man who’s also had a tough life and just wants someone to go home to. I loved watching these two work through their crises and get their lives in order. They are both given some hard situations to deal with, but they both do it wonderfully. The love they share seems to make them so much stronger

From Coffee Time Romance:  Sensational! This is such an absolutely heart warming story, it will stay with you long after you finish the book. Written with great passion and emotion, this tale will touch women everywhere who have, or even have not, known abuse. I fell in love with this hero's strength to go after Emily because he knew she was worth it. Exceptional characters and memorable secondary characters are created with intense depth and history. Sensual love scenes and tender moments are added to complete this touching romance. This is one book you will want to read over and over again.

From Romance at Heart Magazine:Thin Ice is one of those stories that reaches out and grabs the reader at the start of the story. It definitely brings out the emotions, not only in the characters, but the reader, as well The camaraderie between Emily and Eric is astounding.  Liana Laverentz creates characters that almost leap from the pages. … With a love determined to outweigh any troubling complications she gives Emily and Eric the strength to endure only to become more fervent in their actions to find a path to each other. She creates a breathtaking tale that makes the heart elate in so many ways.

From Long and Short Reviews:  Ms. Laverentz takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions as Emily and Eric work out their differences and learn how much in common they truly have.

From Paranormal Romance: Thin Ice is a journey of growth and acceptance. The author captures each stage in a totally believable manner without pushing it over the top and has woven it all into a powerful story.

From The Romance Studio:  Beginning with the first page this talented author drew me into the lives of these two characters. She writes with such vivid descriptions the reader will get lost in this emotionally charged read that will at times keep them on the edge of their seats and at other times have them near tears. I would highly recommend this story to anyone who loves a sweet, touching romance that will leave them thinking about it for days.

Reviews for Jake’s Return

From Fallen Angel Reviews: Ms. Laverentz has written a spellbinding story of intrigue, mystery, and love. The characters Rebecca and Jake are so powerful and well thought out that the reader instantly wants these two to find that they not only deserve to be together but that they also are each other’s halves. I was immediately caught up in the story with the first sentence, “Rebecca Reed would never forget the sound of Jacob Donovan walking back into her life.” I could not only see it but feel it and smell it also. Thank you Ms. Laverentz, I can’t wait until I read more from you, and you’re definitely on my keeper shelf.

From The Romance Studio: This book was an absolute treasure—surprisingly in-depth with an original plot and characters to die for! I knew from the blurb that this should be a good book; however, I had no idea it would be such a find. This was my first Liana Laverentz novel but it definitely will not be my last.

From Long and Short Reviews: I loved the way the author developed the characters. I was able to look back into their pasts and I felt their joy and pain as if I was actually the one experiencing it.

From Two Lips Reviews:  Jake’s Return tells a warm and wonderful story of love after disaster, that all readers will enjoy.
