So this Sunday is Easter, and that means the Easter Bunny will be paying us a visit. When I was a kid I thought having Santa or the Easter Bunny visit was an exciting magical thing. I loved their visits. I really loved that fact that they left you gifts and chocolate for free. Well, not really free free. You had to be good all year, so that was kinda tough. As a kid I was never really into trying to catch Santa or the Easter Bunny in the act. I was just happy they came and left it at that. Plus, if I ever did see them, I am sure I would be scared to death and freak out. I might even throw up, and that wouldn’t be good. Now as an adult I find it a bit odd that we accept a stranger coming down our chimney while we sleep, and leaving gifts under a tree. This is all okay with us? GEEZ! I even let the Elf on the Shelf in my house to spy on my family. I am really starting to question my parenting skills. I am just going to not think about it right now. I am going to focus on the fact that I have a huge rabbit coming this Sunday and the yard needs to look good. I was about to say at least he doesn’t come in the house, but then it occurred to me that changes if it rains. He comes in the house and worse yet, he isn’t confined to the living room like Santa. HE GOES ANYWHERE HE LIKES TO HIDE THOSE EGGS! Oh my gosh… I just can’t right now. Is It going to rain this Sunday??

Your Eyes Don’t Lie (Lily’s House Book 3)
by Rachel Branton
Genre: Romance
FREE for a limited time
Sometimes Survival Isn’t Enough
Years of living on the street and fending for herself have made Makay Greyson tough and resourceful, if a bit disillusioned. She’s come a long way from sleeping in parks and scavenging for food. Her entire focus is on providing a better life for her young brother, one without fear of loss and neglect.
That certainly doesn’t leave time for Harrison Matthews, who from their first meeting sends fire through her veins and upsets all her carefully laid plans.
Makay has done things she isn’t proud of to survive, and those choices now threaten the small amount of security she’s created — and any chance of a future with Harrison. They’ve been raised in two very different worlds, and the secrets they both hide can only lead to disaster.
There is only one chance to make it right, and one misstep could be fatal.
Your Eyes Don’t Lie is a story about facing fears, sacrificing for those you love, and about a girl who thinks she isn’t worth loving and a guy who knows she is.
Note: All the stories in the Lily’s House series are complete stories without cliffhangers. Reading all of them will catch you up with characters in previous novels, but you do not have to read them in order. Enjoy!
