Bunny

Monster Ever After #8

by Layla Fae

The Easter Bunny is shredded, adorably clueless… and bent on feeding me his honey.
When I see the buff stranger in my garden, I think he’s just a figment of my imagination. I am a divorcee so starved for romance, it’s possible I am seeing stuff – especially if stuff is heavenly buff and equipped with rabbit ears and a fluffy ball of a tail.
By the time I realize he’s real, it’s too late. Derek, who still believes in Santa and the Tooth Fairy, has seen him and is asking all kinds of questions about the Easter Bunny in our garden.
Questions which the stranger is happy enough to answer while bribing us with chocolate eggs and gifts. And when I’m finally alone with him, it turns out his visit was not a coincidence.
He has many more gifts for me, and his lack of experience won’t stop him from giving me everything I need. His masculine energy, insatiable curiosity, and intoxicating flavor soon have me hooked. But what will happen when Easter ends?

A steamy novella with a himbo Easter Bunny, a special flavor, HEA, and lots of fluff.

The first season reading.
A funny, sexy and completely unreal story.
Layla Fae's style.
Alice is a single mother, and Derek, her son, made a wish to the Easter Bunny...
Little he knew, it was about to become real...

I’m all for the honey and chocolate that this book gives

If you know what I mean 👀😉 and don’t get me started on the chocolate eggs 🫠 or the yellow and pink Peeps 🤤 . I feel my sugar levels rising just by thinking about it 😅.

But I’m down to die for love 🤣🤣🤣 diabetes where? Not here 🤷🏻‍♀️

If loving this much sugar is so wrong, well then I don’t wanna be right 🫠

Alice’s (32) a divorced, single mom. Her son Derek still believes in the Easter bunny, and her ex is an a hole who hasn’t been a good father for their son. Alice forgot what it was like to be with someone. All she wants to do is touch a man’s six pack to go on in her merry life.

Well, wishes do come true 👀.

All of a sudden, a HAAAWT AF, shirtless, younger man appears, with bunny ears and a fluffy tail 👀 and he’s looking like a tall glass of water for Alice’s thirsty self 👀.

Bunny (1000+) doesn’t mind getting close to Alice and he’s amazing at entertaining her son. But once Derek leaves with his aunt, it’s just the two of them…

And then he reveals he’s been watching her 👀, for a while 😅, and he’s ready to get down an dirty with her 😉.

Alice going down the rabbit hole of all that is 🔥 never looked so good 😮‍💨.

What I liked/loved: potential spoilers
—he’s OBSESSED with her 👏🏻. He admires her and wants her soooo much 👀. I love me a dedicated man😉

—and also OBSESSED with her taste 🥵😉

—the amount of times he blushes 🫶🥹, but then, turns alpha and ties her up 😮‍💨🫠

—he’s a life saver 🫶. Literally 👏🏻. It might seem like he’s not around, but he appears when it counts 😭

—a stalking bunny?? Are. You. Kidding. Me👀 yaaaaaassss PU-LEASE 😮‍💨. Bunny has been watching/wanting Alice for YEARS… and guess what?

—he’s a virgin 🫠 which means, he gets Alice to explore the art of making luuuurve with him 😉

—teaching him how to kiss 🥵 why is this so smeeexy 🫠 Bunny is a quick study 😮‍💨 just the way we like ‘em

—honey-flavored 💦? Scoooooore!!!!

—chocolate eggs and Peeps? Yes please 🤤🔥🥵

—his unique physically qualities 👀. Not only is his D different (lucky lucky Alice 🔥), but his ears are sensitive too 😉

—fast refractory period 😉. He might be over 1000 years old, but his body responds like a youngin 🫠. Alice doesn’t know what hit her 🤣

—the amount of 🔥. I’d expect no less 😅😮‍💨

—🤣yes, our bodies get sore 🤣💀

— the times I laughed 🤣. For a Bunny that’s old, he sure made me laugh 🤣💀

—how swoony he is 🫶. The amount of times I was feeling gooey inside had no place for this erotic book 🥹. Gaaaaahhhhh!

—all the hugs 🫶. Seriously… sometimes the only comfort people need is a hug 🥹

—THE EPILOGUE 😭🥹❤️🫶

What I wanted more of:
—for it to be longer 😭

—for some comeuppance against her ex 😐

This was so freaking funny. This was a bit longer than the other books but I loved the character development. In this cute little Easter erotica Alice is a single mother struggling with her identity. She’s sad kind of stressed and in desperate need of a trip to pound town. It gets so serious that she is dreaming of when she will grab six pack abs and butts at a gym until she gets arrested. Quite hilarious no worries she is not a regular gym ass-handler just in her dreams. Then she hears strange rustling in her bushes and alas 🪽 there is a beautiful man literally in her face. The only issue is he has bunny ears and claims to be the Easter bunny and he wants to blow her back out candle style. How can she possibly resist. There are Easter eggs 🥚 shot across the yard, some honey 🍯 juice and all the money shots a girl can ask for. Please run to read this one ☝🏽!!
I’m still giggling 🤭 and a bit overwhelmed but this is definitely a must read. On to the next one 😘

I was really wanting jelly beans in here somewhere, but alas, we get chocolate eggs instead. LOL

This was yet another fun and quirky read in this series. After reading the others, I knew I’d need to gobble this one up like Easter candy…or honey.

I will add, there were quite a few typos and missing words throughout the story, but I was still able to enjoy this short read about the perfect, quick-learning Easter bunny who’s full of bunny batter and eager to please.

Soooo apparently the Easter Bunny is a hot af Hollister model with glittery, honey flavored c*m and a ribbed pink glow-in-the-dark d*ck that can shoot chocolate eggs out when he c*ms... I’m def setting up a trap for him this year. He’ll be getting my eggs instead (ew but lol).

This was way out of my comfort zone, but I just went with it and enjoyed the ride LOL. This was a super quick and sexy sweet novella. I never thought I’d read about a himbo Easter bunny, but here we are. Bunny’s innocence came across too childish at times, so that was hard to switch gears when things got steamy, but I liked that the sexy times included some laughs. The chocolate eggs were a hilarious surprise! LOL

Overall, a fun and entertaining read! This is my first from the author and I’m looking forward to reading the other books in the series. Also just in case, the story isn’t religious, so don’t let the “Easter erotica” tagline deter you!

Alice and the Bunny . . .

The Easter Bunny has arrived in single mom Alice’s garden. She first thinks the delicious bunny is part of her wild imagination, and he really is a cutie. But her son Derek spots him and has a load of questions about the Easter Bunny, which her in-the-flesh bunny is happy to answer. He gives them delicious goodies and when she is alone with him, she finds out why he is there. There is just one important question left… will he stay when Easter is over?

This is an adorable story. Of course it’s not for the kids, despite the candy, but it can sure give mom a ton of smiles while turning the pages . . .

I know I know. everytime a new Monster Ever After book comes out I say it's my new favorite, but bunny is SO cute and adorable and I think he's my favorite now (sorry racoon).
I absolutely loved the story, the characters, the writing. basically everything really. and I literally couldn't stop laughing! ten out of ten, definitely recommend.

I still had to check the 'easter' prompt on my 2025 bingo card, so I thought this book could be a good option. Glad I did, cause I had a great time reading it. I laughed really hard sometimes.

I kinda hated this ngl lol. I read here other book Satan (kinda a Christmas novella) last year and it was alright, but this was one was just not for me.

I really didn’t like how juvenile the MMC was for the majority do the book, that threw me off big time and gave me the ick. Like I get it, sorta, for his character I mean, but I personally hated reading that element of it because he was so childish and it wasn’t exactly ‘sexy’.

Don’t even get me started on the fact that he can shoot chocolate eggs from his d*ck so hard that they broke a window 💀💀💀💀💀. Then he turned around and said he’d fix up any damage that happened to her during sex 💀🥲🙃 like boi, that would KILL her…. Plus his d*ck is pink and it glows. GLOWS. And he turns into a furry, cuter, but still sorta somehow humanoid? bunny whenever the kid is there at the start but nek minut he’s male model material when it’s just her was kinda jarring.

What the actual fuck is up with all of Layla’s FMCs wanting to sell their monster men’s fancy flavored cum? Yet she was worried about her son find and eating one of his ejaculated chocolate eggs?😂😂

Bunny cums chocolate eggs, marshmallows, and honey. Need I say anything else about this book? I will say I am not usually a fan of dominant women in the bedroom, but Bunny was an adorable golden retriever energy MMC who could definitely take charge when needed.

If you were looking for a quick and spicy, one sitting read to get you all hot and bothered this Easter, this may be the book for you.

[Abigail McKinney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Look I read this for book club as a quick Easter themed read. It was funny, it was cringey, ultimately it was fine. If the Easter Bunny being a hunky magical man is your thing, then this is a great quick read for you. Ultimately it’s just not that serious and tbh I have very little to say 🤷🏻‍♀️

[sydnee johnston · Rating 2 out of 5]

Was too cute for me, but I would definitely be a swallower if it was honey and marshmallows 😂. I like a little darker of a read. So the stars are for me if you like cute with 🌶️🌶️ then it’s the book for you.

Not really my thing but I'm sure it relates to single mothers.

[Ciru · Rating 4 out of 5]

Starting to become a fan of Layla Fae.

While obviously this has the storyline of the Easter Bunny, I also got Alice in Wonderland, what with her being Alice, him being Bunny and they were basically running out of time.

Apart from the hot smut, I loved that it was a heartfelt story with regards to Alice finding a partner for her and Derek by extension. I loved their dialogue throughout the book as well as the fact that they both knew their initial meeting was just the start.

Again, the weird cum but this one was more funny than Draco's book. Loved it also as it kept my attention all in one sitting.

Review:

Layla’s books are always delightful to read. Some heroes are more alpha, others are grumpy, but Bunny was just the sweetest creature ever!! He was so lovely and treated Alice and her son with utmost care and love. I couldn’t have loved him more.

When he appers in Alice garden on Easter’s morning she doesn’t believe in his true identity and has reservations about letting him close to her son, in a matter of only hours he manages to conquer both mother and son. If you are looking for a sweet and hot novella, pick Bunny.

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

For a thousand year plus entity, Bunny is adorably awkward as he tries to work through all the steps involved in wooing a human woman. You know, steps like introduce himself, assure her he's absolutely not there to hurt her, and offer her a handshake. Alice is understandably wary of all parts of this interaction and also kind of believes she might be hallucinating. So instead of going for that handshake, she cops a feel of his six pack. Because if someone's going to hallucinate a gloriously gorgeous bunny-man, the best way to determine if it's reality is to stroke his abs.

To be fair, Bunny wasn't really upset by this. I mean, he was a little shocked, maybe, but he's into Alice enough that he's willing to let her do anything she wants to him. Which mostly involves watching him warily and hovering when her high-energy son asks him to play video games with him. Yeah, Alice has some trust issues. And, you know, Bunny's a guy who is also a giant rabbit-dude and, yeah, the wariness is understandable.

Anyway. Things happen, Bunny saves her son from choking, Alice realizes she might as well grab the bull by the horns (or the bunny by the tail?) and live out a day of fantasies with this guy who's a little awkward (in the most adorable way), but treats her like she's an absolute goddess.

BUT...Bunny only gets one day on Earth every year, so they have to move fast, figure out if this is something they want to continue, and set some ground rules.

And when Bunny's day rolls around next year? Alice is ready for everything he has to give her.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5 Stars
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 Spice

This is book eight in the Monster Ever After series by Layla Fae. I never want this series to end and I’m always so excited when I see another story being announced. This new addition is an holiday erotic novella based around Easter.

This book follows Alice, and the Easter Bunny. Alice is a divorced single mom in her 30s with a seven year old son named Derek. While she’s happier alone than she was with her ex husband, Alice is also tired and sex deprived. She thinks she’s finally fallen down the rabbit hole when she notices a man with bunny ears in her garden on Easter morning. He couldn’t possibly be real? Right?

Bunny is like cotton candy, all that sweetness will just melt in your mouth. Loving, considerate, protective, honest, and sexy what more could you ask for? Well except for maybe a fun special shaped “toy” and some delicious essence. 😉 It can even do tricks! Alice sure is one lucky women.

As a kid my Easter basket always included glow sticks and now I’ll never be able to look at them without remembering this book. The child in me laughed and the adult in me now wants a special glowing stick I can play with. 👀 This was a well written spicy novella. Once I started it I couldn’t put it down. At only a little over a hounded pages this is a quick read. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

This book launches March 22nd so hop…I mean run to Amazon and grab your copy! Happy launch day everyone, and remember don’t skip that epilogue!

[Dragoness · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did not vibe with it though I'm not opposed to the premise. This is gonna be real, too real for an erotic novella but whatever. I felt sorry for Derek because he did not sign up for having absent father, but Alice I can't feel that sorry for. Being realistic her ex was most likely a lazy ass who didn't help from the beginning, but she thought the baby would change him. It never does. Don't get me wrong the ex is a piece of shit for agreeing to a baby and ditching, but she knew who he was. Also, I know what this is, but a year for a kid to start calling some dude "dad" is super short. Hell, it makes me uncomfortable that she introduced Bunny to her son seriously right away. Also fuck her for the semen in the jar thing.
Also, I hate it when people talk about their armor unironicly.

Laura Thalassa's Pestilence was also innocent, but I feel like he came off more mature while at it.
While I'm at it, I also didn't like how at first Alice told him to go to a porn star because she'd be great etc., and then when he told her he saw porn she went 180 and said it's all fake, bad. Christ woman, make up your damn mind. But also, he came with wrapped chocolate eggs and she was "okay, what happens when you put that chocolate inside me?" and was irritated he treated the situation lightly. Fuck, maybe don't ask someone to shoot candy up your vagina?

[Hails · Rating 5 out of 5]

I swear I say this every time, but this is probably my favorite Monster Ever After book yet! Bunny is literally the Easter Bunny who noticed a woman, Alice, one year and has been observing her and falling in love with her ever since. Bunny makes his appearance and wins Alice over, her son over, and the reader over with his innocent, direct, sweet, cinnamon bun (HA—you see what I did there?) self. There is not a single red flag to be seen (well, as long as you don’t count the fact that he’s a mythical creature and he’s been watching her… unimportant details, honestly). The sweet treat Bunny *essence* (his honeycum and candy cumfetti, as I like to call it) was not only absolutely a treasure in this book, but also one of my favorite characteristics of this series. It is also, of course, multifunctional in an unexpected way. Not only was the romance sweet and spicy, but the banter and the internal dialogue had me wheezing with laughter. If you’re looking for a fun, spicy, holiday read then Bunny is the book for you!

I also want to thank Layla Fae for shouting out my best friend Elena and I in Bunny’s dedication. Shes the best human and everyone should read the Monster Ever After books! 🥹🤍

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Here I am, once again, proclaiming my absolute obsession with Layla Fae’s Monster Ever After series! When I saw the ARC drop, I immediately ran to download.

All of the Monster Ever After stories follow one particular “monster”. They each have their own special abilities and special….flavor 😉

Bunny is of course THE EASTER BUNNY! 🐰 An adorable, virgin, himbo who has been obsessed with our FMC for a long time.

I absolutely loved that the FMC was in her 30s and didn’t just jump on him. Let’s be real, if a bunny man (regardless is how hot he is) jumped out of a bush, I like to think I’d at least ask some questions before jumping into the sack with him. 😂

In true Layla fashion, not only does our monster have some abilities, but he’s got some extra special flavoring. I about passed away when he broke the window with his little chocolate 💦!

“I will eat whatever comes out of your 🍆 magic boy” 😂😂☠️

At this point, I will read whatever Layla gives us, but I really hope this series continues on.

Alice is shocked when she wakes up early Easter morning and finds a hot half naked man in her backyard. She had been mourning the fact that she had never touch a six pack of abs or a great ass when they show up in her backyard. He claims to be the Easter Bunny and he definitely is showing an interest in her. Then Alice learns that her son Dexter had written the Bunny for a new Dad. Maybe Bunny is both of their dreams come true.

Bunny has been watching Alice for several years now ever since she was pregnant. Her courage and spirit riveted him and her body awoke his desire. He would do whatever it takes to win her even if might take years. For Bunny to stay on Earth with Alice and Dexter, Alice must accept him and become pregnant. It is the only way to keep Bunny in their world more than one day.

Bunny

The Easter Bunny pays Alice a visit and one she's never going to forget.

Layla Fae has a fantastic sense for taking something so innocent like the Easter Bunny and spinning it into an incredible erotic novella. Bunny was so innocent (in every sense of the word) and was so incredibly sweet. I liked that Alice reacted like a normal human would and didn't immediately go for him, but instead got to know him for a little bit before doing anything. But the steam they had was worthwhile and I loved watching Bunny learn some new tricks.

I'm not a fan of kids in romance stories, and this one did focus more on her kid than I cared for. For some people this is great, it just didn't work for me.

Every new Layla fae book just keeps getting better and better! This is 100% my favorite book by her! The MMC, Bunny, is literally the Easter Bunny who after observing the FMC, Alice, over a few years ends up falling in love with her. He appears before her and wins her over fast, especially after he saves her son from choking.

Bunny is my favorite Layla Fae MMC by far. He is precious, so innocent, the sweetest golden retriever of a man! Every time he blushed and got shy made me smile ☺️ As my friend @wearecurrentlyreading put it, he is a cinnamon "bun" 💙

Can't wait to be blessed with the next book by Layla Fae! You can find this and all of her other books on Kindle Unlimited!

Alice (h) get a very special Easter surprise when Bunny (H) comes out of her bushes with wiggly pink bunny ears and fluffy white tail. He seems to be her fantasy male come to life devoted to her , and on top of that he good with her son. Bunny is probably the least monstrous of any of Layla Fae’s monsters but he’s so sweet, lovely and caring for Alice, and then he’s so deliciously hot and steamy with sweet honey magic and little chocolate eggs. But unlike Bunny, Easter only comes once a year and if Alice wants to have her honey bunny year round, she’ll have to make a choice. Yummy fluffy goodness to make you hop-hop-hoppy!

[Jenifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's another holiday and just in time for the Easter Bunny with his delicious flavor of honey and spring to welcome us into the new season. This is deliciously raunchy but surprisingly sweet at the same time. I loved the way Bunny's innocence was portrayed as you felt like he really didn't know and was learning by example each step of the way. The next holiday, at least in the US is Memorial Day so I'm just picturing Uncle Sam and wondering how that story would work. Hahaha - guess I'll just have to have patience to see what new monsters Layla comes up with.
