So Easter was yesterday! My daughters had baskets. And my mom always included one present/doll in the basket when I was a girl. So my girls had the same thing. They also got a present. E-dorable got herself a bunny. Miss Blippi as I call my 2 almost 3 year old these days had a doll. And in the spirit of sharing I asked my author friends if they had any FREE or 99cents romance novels to share as well. My rules were simple… keep it clean. The hallmark movies, heck Pretty Woman didn’t really have a lot of sex scenes but they were still fun romantic romps. And I know I love romances. My friends delivered. Ann Omasta and Kristin Wallace had stories that I LOVED that they offered to share with you. But the others I’m picking up as well because at the end of the day after watching my girls, I’m exhausted. And I need to unwind with happily-ever-after romances that make my heart grow. My own books are included in this as well because they’re FREE and if you know someone to recommend them or haven’t picked on up… now is a good time. So check out these fun romances for you and I hope you had a Happy Easter!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you include a present in an Easter basket for kids?

A simple tradition is to add one toy or doll to a child’s Easter basket alongside the usual candy and treats. For example, a toddler might receive a stuffed bunny or a baby doll as their basket gift. This approach gives children something lasting and memorable beyond just sweets, making Easter feel more special and gift-like.

What are some free or cheap romance novels to read over Easter weekend?

Several romance authors offer free or 99-cent ebooks around Easter, making it easy to unwind after holiday activities. Look for clean, feel-good romances — sometimes described as ‘Hallmark movie’-style stories — that focus on happily-ever-after endings without heavy explicit content. Checking author websites or Amazon around the holiday often surfaces limited-time free and discounted titles.

Should Easter romance reads be clean or is explicit content okay for a holiday pick?

For a lighthearted Easter read, clean or low-heat romances are a popular choice. Think Hallmark-movie-style stories that are fun and romantic without explicit scenes. These are especially appealing after a busy family holiday when you want to relax with something heartwarming. Authors like Ann Omasta and Kristin Wallace are noted examples of writers who offer this style of feel-good romance.
