Eaten by the Easter Bunny

by Megan Linski, Moira Black (Narrator)

This Easter, the bunny is hopping down one happy trail.

Arleigh Warren is the founder of Happy Rabbit Rescue, her town’s sole charity dedicated to saving rabbits. Burned out and stretched thin due to the requirements of animal rescue, Arleigh is one missed payment away from losing her shelter, her dream, and all her bunnies.

Desperate for help, she makes one monster a very tempting offer…Peter Cottontail appears to be a joyful symbol of his spring holiday. But as darkness falls, he transforms into a wererabbit, taking the form of a cruel, terrifying beast. Under the cover of night, he stalks his prey, and he has Arleigh locked in his sights.

The Easter Bunny needs an heir for his kingdom, and Arleigh is his only option for a mate. Seeking to save her shelter, Arleigh agrees to provide Peter with such an heir… and finds herself wrapped within his wicked desires. Eaten by the Easter Bunny is a short and steamy Easter monster romance from Megan Linski. This hilarious and wild romp celebrating the arrival of spring is another beloved holiday love story for listeners to enjoy.

I get it was suppose to be a short story but i really cant do insta love/acceptance.
Were bunny comes, captures her tells her shes going to have his babies and shes like oh ok sounds good???? nah but I needed an Easter book for a reading challenge so this works.

I honestly enjoyed this book. For a short story, it got to the point which is more than I can say for some books that are 600 pages and have gaps everywhere. I’m excited to read the rest of the holiday monsters

So, Easter Bunny TLDR, SPOILERS!

Setting:
The magical Easter Bunny Kingdom is threatened by the Frost King’s expansion plans. All the does have fled; magic is waning. To the rescue!
The Easter Bunny (newly appointed, a "Were Easter Bunny" obviously, a cocky show-off—you know the type) is seeking a suitable bunny shifter to birth an heir so magic returns to the kingdom.

FMC Enters the Scene

Unaware of her own bunny shifter lineage, the dear girl has taken over the local rabbit rescue from her recently deceased mother—naturally, she is self-sacrificingly devoted to her long-eared kin. The Easter Bunny stalks her and eventually rescues her and a runaway baby bunny from a grizzly bear one night. The Head Bunny decides she is mate material and kidnaps her to the Easter Kingdom, explains the whole mess including her own bunnyhood, signs a surrogacy contract with her (she desperately needs cash since rescuing rabbits isn't lucrative), and then things get wild.

After the wild night (plenty of being eaten though), the Winter King storms in, threatening to bury the Easter Kingdom in snow. The lady is whisked away to the human realm for safety, pops out quadruplets in record time (rabbits have a one-month gestation), the Easter Bunny returns, and the bunny babies somehow save the realm with their magic. Then comes the big misunderstanding because she thinks he doesn’t want her, but he actually does, and she wants to keep her bunny babies and him too, and he wants her too. And they all lived happily ever after.


Overall Verdict: 3/5 Only if read ironically. At least it is short.

Heat: For those who like shifters and monsters. A minimal slip into BDSM, but meh.
Brain: Please deactivate. The FMC accepts all the magic nonsense without a single question and is otherwise a bit of a dimwit.
MMC: Not the most likable—fairly shallow and arrogant. If that’s your thing.

(more like a 3.5-3.75, rounded up for making me snort aloud far more often than I'd like to admit)

Definitely one that falls into guilty pleasure "it's so ridiculous it's somehow good?" which is pretty much what I was expecting.

The spice admittedly didn't do much for me for the most part (there were a few moments I did like), but there were plenty of laughs (I lost it when the rabbit vibrator appeared) and it was overall a good time.

It feels a lot like The Santa Clause movies, but with the Easter Bunny instead of Santa.

I do wish there was a lot fewer mention of "buns" though. Or that the shelter was a bunny cafe that sold actual buns to make it more punny.

I would give this more of a 2.75 star but ok a were-bunny. 🤣 That’s a first. But it was fun and fast read.
