GIVEAWAY: S.T.A.G.S. by M.A. Bennett
Book Summary
Seventeen-year-old Greer, a scholarship girl at a prestigious private school, St Aidan the Great School (known as STAGS), soon realizes that the school is full of snobs and spoilt rich brats, many of whom come from aristocratic families who have attended the institute throughout the centuries. She's immediately ignored by her classmates. All the teachers are referred to as Friars (even the female ones), but the real driving force behind the school is a group of prefects known as the Medievals, whose leader, Henry de Warlencourt, Greer finds both strangely intriguing as well as attractive. The Medievals are all good-looking, clever and everyone wants to be among their circle of friends. Greer is therefore surprised when she receives an invitation from Henry to spend a long weekend with him and his friends at his family house in the Lake District, especially when she learns that two other "outsiders" have also been invited: Shafeen and Chanel. As the weekend unfolds, Greer comes to the chilling realization that she and two other "losers" were invited only because they were chosen to become prey in a mad game of manhunt.

GIVEAWAY: Gift Set for The Dead Inside by Cyndy Etler
Author: Cyndy Etler
Sourcebooks Fire
On-sale: April 4, 2017
Young Adult, Hardcover
$17.99
Description:
For readers of Girl Interrupted and Tweak, Cyndy Etler’s gripping memoir gives readers a glimpse into the harrowing reality of her sixteen months in the notorious "tough love" program the ACLU called “a concentration camp for throwaway kids.”
All Cyndy wanted was to be loved and accepted. By age fourteen, she had escaped from her violent home, only to be reported as a runaway and sent to a “drug rehabilitation” facility that changed her world.
To the public, Straight Inc. was a place of recovery. But behind closed doors, the program used bizarre and intimidating methods to “treat” its patients. In her raw and fearless memoir, Cyndy Etler recounts her sixteen months in the living nightmare that Straight Inc. considered “healing.”
Cyndy Etler was homeless at fourteen, summa cum laude at thirty. In her current work as a teacher and teen life coach, Etler happily teaches teens that books work better than drugs. She lives with her husband and dogs in North Carolina. Find her at CyndyEtler.com.

Books to Movies Giveaway Hop
When we first started Book Nerds Across America, we had a monthly feature where we all read and reviewed a book that was going to become a movie. Because we love books, and we love movies. We aren't able to do this all the time anymore, but we still do reviews of movies based off books every once in awhile. I think it's great! I really enjoy reading a book and then seeing how the director and actors bring it to life. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't -- sometimes I don't like them, a lot of times, I do. Anyway! All this is to say we are happy to participate in this Hop. Here's the prize...
It's a mini poster based on Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, courtesy of Quirk Books. (I accidentally ended up with two, so I'm paying it forward with one for one of you :). Have you seen this movie yet? I haven't, but I want to. We did read and review the book. This contest is US only (sorry - we will do another international giveaway soon!) and you can enter via the Rafflecopter. Good luck!

BLOG TOUR: The Deep End of the Sea by Heather Lyons
THE DEEP END OF THE SEA Synopsis:
What if all the legends you’ve learned were wrong?
Brutally attacked by one god and unfairly cursed by another she faithfully served, Medusa has spent the last two thousand years living out her punishment on an enchanted isle in the Aegean Sea. A far cry from the monster legends depict, she’s spent her time educating herself, gardening, and desperately trying to frighten away adventure seekers who occasionally end up, much to her dismay, as statues when they manage to catch her off guard. As time marches on without her, Medusa wishes for nothing more than to be given a second chance at a life stolen away at far too young an age.
But then comes a day when Hermes, one of the few friends she still has and the only deity she trusts, petitions the rest of the gods and goddesses to reverse the curse. Thus begins a journey toward healing and redemption, of reclaiming a life after tragedy, and of just how powerful friendship and love can be—because sometimes, you have to sink in the deep end of the sea before you can rise back up again.
Heather Lyons has always had a thing for words—She’s been writing stories since she was a kid. In addition to writing, she’s also been an archaeologist and a teacher. Heather is a rabid music fan, as evidenced by her (mostly) music-centric blog, and she’s married to an even larger music snob. They’re happily raising three kids who are mini music fiends who love to read and be read to.

My Review:
O....M.....G!!! Yep, I said it, and I'll say it again: O...M...G!!!!
If you have read ANY of my reviews you know how much I love my Greek Mythology. I LOVE IT!!!!
So, when this tour came up I jumped at the chance to get in. Of course it helps that it's the amazing Heather Lyons.
What I liked: When I was in school, learning about mythology, I never thought past the story. I never fathom their lives 'before' their incidents.
I saw a whole different side of Medusa, and thanks to Heather Lyons, I have a new respect for her. The story is told so well, that you can truly feel Dusa's issues/feelings/love/hate.
Along with Dusa, comes Hermes. In my crazy mind I never saw him the way Heather Lyons describes him, but then again her way was much better.
Their relationship builds and he is Dusa's only friend. I love how Lyons pulls it all together
What I didn't like: Some parts are 'fast pace'. I wish Heather Lyons would have 'added' some more time for certain parts.
I know that thus review seems vague but I don't want to spoil anyone, because it's hard to list details of the story.
So, how about this: If you love a good re-telling of Mythology, or if you want to see Medua (and Hermes) in a different light, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!!

BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY: Exquisite Betrayal by AM Hargrove
BOOK
SUMMARY:
A male Romance
Author… a convention in Vegas… a female book blogger… a goal to lose her
virginity… what happens when you mix all the above?
Fallon McKinley is
headed to Vegas for the Wicked Wenches Romance Con and losing her virginity is
only one of her goals. The other is to meet her favorite author of romance
novels, R.T. Sinclair. What she doesn’t realize is that the sexy green-eyed god
she rams into at the airport is the real R.T. When they keep running into each
other, she’s shocked, but excited, because the attraction is irresistible.
Ryland Thomas
Sinclair doesn’t want anyone to know his true identity. He’s the author that
all women love, but everyone thinks he’s a female. He hides his persona behind
the public face of his twin sister, keeping his own a secret. But after meeting
the lovely Fallon, his intentions to avoid a relationship come to a screeching
halt. She’s put an unwanted kink into his perfectly laid out plans. His unusual
reaction surprises him because after a heart-shredding breakup a few years ago,
he’s managed to avoid women at all costs.
Resisting Fallon becomes
more difficult than he imagines. Soon things are spiraling
out of control, until a major miscommunication has Fallon walking out of his
home and his life. Will Ryland Thomas succeed in losing the woman he loves? Or
can he win her back?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove,
realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it
would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming
of her whole life. So, she rolled down the passenger window of her
fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily,
the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodge ball pro and had über
quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling
a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side
street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what laptop out
the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell
phone, called her boss and quit her job. Grinning, she made another call
to her hubs and told him of her new adventure (after making sure his heart was
beating properly again).
So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a YA/NA and Adult Romance writer.
Her books include the following: Edge of Disaster, Shattered Edge and Kissing
Fire (The Edge Series); The Guardians of Vesturon series (Survival,
Resurrection, Determinant, reEmergent and Beginnings); Dark Waltz and
Tragically Flawed.
Other than being in love with writing about being in love, she loves
chocolate, ice cream and coffee and is positive they should be added as part of
the USDA food groups.

My Review:
Let's just jump right into this review with my typical, blah blah blah beginnings!
What I liked: First, HELLO IT'S AM HARGROVE!! I love everything that she touches! Plus, this just added to my growing pile of love for her.
Ryland Thomas is a HOT HOT HOT HOT male romance author. I know there are a lot of them around, and he knows it too. That is why he hides in the shadow, and his sister Tilly is the face of RT Sinclair.
Enter in a sweet, blogger from South Carolina, Fallon. Oh, how I fell in love with this girl RIGHT OFF! She saved all her money to head to Las Vegas for a book convention.
The back and forth of Ryland and Fallon, is funny at times, frustrating, and so steamy.
What I didn't like: It wasn't that I didn't like it, but I was under the assumption that this was going to be a book about a girl at a convention. Not entirely true. It starts off that way, but then it turns into a twist, that I didn't really see happening, but it was interesting.

BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY: Broken by Kelly Elliott
SYNOPSIS:
Layton Morris and his brother Mike grew up not knowing what it would be like to
live in a normal home. With no running water or electricity in their home, no
parents around to protect them, they quickly learned how to survive and depend
only on each other.
When a tragic
accident takes Mike away from Layton, and the only other person that he ever
let into his heart walked away from him, leaving his heart shattered, Layton
focuses all of his time and energy into the ranch he and his brother dreamed
of. He makes a vow to himself to never let love in again. The last thing Layton
needed or wanted was more heartache.
Whitley Reynolds
grew up in a privileged home in upstate New York. When she landed the star
football player in high school no one was surprised, not even Whitley. She
dreamed of a life with Roger living in New York City and happily followed him
there.
The first time
Roger hit her for arguing with him about a dinner party, she forgave him. The
more it happened, the further Whitley withdrew from her friends and family. One
fateful day things go to far. Whitley makes a promise to herself and finds the
courage to do the one thing she thought she’d never be able to do.
Fleeing with her
best friend Courtney, Whitley was determined to put her past behind her and
start a new life in the small town of Llano, Texas, where no one would ever
find out about her past.
Will they both ever
learn to trust and love again, or will their pasts come back to haunt them, https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id756892264keeping them both alone and…
Broken.
My Review:
WOW!
As many of you know, I am a HUGE Kelly Elliott and her books. However, reading this book made me see Kelly in a different light.............
Her talent is unmeasurable! No joke! As much as I love the Wanted Series this BLOWS THAT AWAY!!
Whitley is an amazing character! She leaves an abusive relationship and heads to Texas, with her best friend.
While she's there she meets Layton *swoon*. This cowboy is a little rough around the edges, but that is because he has had a very hard life. I really feel for him (once you heard his whole story, you'll understand).
Anyway, Whit and Layton DO NOT hit it off at first. But, it's fun to read how their relationship changed.
In this book there is laughing, crying, hot-cowboy, and a HUGE twist!!
I loved every moment of it!!
Who is Kelly Elliott?
Really I'm just a wife to a wonderful
Texas cowboy who has a nack for making me laugh almost daily and supports my
crazy ideas and dreams for some unknown reason...he claims it's because he
loves me.....so I'll just go with that one!
I'm also a mom to an amazing daughter who constantly is asking me to make her
something to eat while she has her fingers moving like mad on her cell phone
sending out what I'm sure is another very important text message!
Oh...and I like to sit down and write in my spare time!
I live in the Texas hill country and one of my favorite things to do is go for
hikes around our property with my second favorite man, Gus....my chocolate lab
and my sweet girl Rose, our golden retriever. When I'm not outside helping the
hubby haul brush or move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for me
that day, you will find me inside reading, writing or watching HGTV and soaking
in a nice hot bubble bath.....yeah that last one I just made up but it sure
does sound nice!!!

BLOG TOUR and DOUBLE BOOK REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: Crush Series by Lacey Weatherford
Book Info-
Title: Crush
Series: Crush #1
By: Lacey Weatherford
Publication Date: October 20th, 2012
Blurb-
Cami Wimberley has a plan, and that plan includes no room for boys—especially the big time party animal, Hunter Wilder, no matter how handsome and charismatic he is. She’s beautiful, a senior, extremely talented, gets good grades, and is working her way toward her dream college to be a musical theater major. Everything is perfect.
Hunter Wilder does not want a girlfriend—that would complicate his life way too much right now. He especially doesn’t want this girl, Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, so how come he can’t keep his eyes off her? He tries to keep her at arms length, but fate seems to keep pushing them together. Before long, it’s obvious to everyone they’re crushing on each other.
As sparks begin to fly, Hunter finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into hot water. Soon he’s scrambling to keep Cami from discovering his dark secret—one that can destroy their entire relationship.

My Review of Crush -
What I loved: I loved Lacey's writing! This author has some serious talent!
Cami, senior in high school, ready for it to be over, and has a best friend Clay (I really liked him). Then a new kid comes to school, Hunter. Now, I assumed that he was just a typical bad boy, but THE GREAT LACEY proves me wrong, again!!! (See why I think she is so good!)
This is a romance that keeps you wanting me!! Great twists and turns that keep you wanting more!!
What I didn't like:
Even though I am a sucker for duo-POVs, I sort of wish this was just Cami's POV. Not that I didn't like Hunter's POV, but Cami was more relatable to read.
Book Info-
Title- Smitten
Series- Crush # 2
By-Lacey Weatherford
Blurb-
Life is good. Cami is away at her dream college with her dream man by her side. She thinks if she can just get through with meeting Hunter’s family that everything will be perfect. Little does she know that life’s about to turn upside down again when Hunter is called to infiltrate a gang whose specialty is chopping and racing cars. His contact happens to be a beautiful curvy girl who is the gang leader’s sister and he has to pose as her boyfriend. Communication with Cami is basically forbidden to help keep his cover.
Hunter, however, can’t stand being away from the girl he really loves, and he sneaks away one night to meet her across town. He doesn’t know the gang leader, Ripper, has suspicions about him already and he’s following him to see where he goes. He surprises Hunter and Cami, and Hunter quickly introduces her as his cousin who is having some car trouble. He thinks all is well until he discovers he has one serious problem. Ripper likes Cami and decides to pursue her, drawing her into the same dangerous world he’s supposed to bring down.
Can he keep his cover without having Cami get caught in the crossfire? Will the two of them survive having to watch each other fake it in the arms of another? Or will their hot stolen kisses destroy everything?

About The Author-
Lacey Weatherford was born in Ft. Meade Maryland while her father was serving in the military. She has been a life long resident of Arizona, spending most of her time growing up in the small rural town of Clay Springs.
It was while she was attending the small country school in Clay Springs, that she read her first "big" book at the age of eight. It was a Nancy Drew novel and Lacey was instantly hooked. She read every book that she could find in the series and decided that she wanted to write stories too.
Lacey spent a lot of time at the library from that time forward, even volunteering in her later teen years and early twenties. She would don a crazy clown outfit for the Friends of the Library fundraisers in an effort to help get the new town library built.
When she and her husband moved away from the area, Lacey took the opportunity to take some creative writing classes at the local college to help further along her interests. Several years later, they were blessed with the opportunity to move back to Clay Springs with their family. The town had finally succeeded in building their library and Lacey had the opportunity to be President of the Friends of the Library for a very short time, before relocating.
Lacey and her family still live in the White Mountains of Arizona, where she continues to write young adult novels that have a fantasy/fairytale or paranormal bent to them, as well as being sure to include a great romantic storyline!
