About the author

L.A. Day exists only in the mind of Laura. An avid reader since early childhood, she began writing romance in her teens. Now, 50+ years later she’s progressed to steamy, sexy romances. Supported by her husband of many years, she spends most of her time in front of a computer weaving tales of love and lust.

Multi-published, her stories have been tagged imaginative, steamy, and even one of the most erotic stories ever read. She writes about bikers, shifters, vampires, aliens, CEOs, time-travelers, and more. Her books always have alpha males and a happy ending but never have a cliffhanger. She feels that if you’re going to create an alpha male character, why not make him bigger, stronger, more well endowed than any human man could ever be? It is fantasy after all.

Remember, alpha males are only a “Day” away.

Eden is attending an all-girls catholic school when the world changes due to a virus. Ryatt comes to rescue her and sees that his best friend’s sister is all grown up. Can he keep her safe? Fast-paced, action packed read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. Great characters and draws you in from beginning to end.

Ryatt is the first book in the Southern Quest Motorcycle Club series. It is a heck of an introduction. I initially thought that this was a story about star-crossed lovers finding each other after the zombie apocalypse. Well, sort of, but no, it is so much more. Ryatt is a mans man, whatever that means, and Eden, that name alone should tell you a lot, is the one for him and has been since they were kids. What they find out is that they are definitely destined to be together. There is not much MC action in this story, which is what initially threw me. It focuses on the relationship between Ryatt and Eden and where the world has landed after the vaccine to cure a virus has ravaged the world. For that alone, I started not to finish the story. I found that part a bit irresponsible. However, I love Eden; she is strong, smart, resilient, and capable in all of her innocence. In Ryatt, what's not to love about a bad boy biker who is your dead brother's best friend, with a six-pack and the magic "V" and is the leader of a badass MC?! Just saying. They both hit paydirt, and you see that as the story unfolds. MC action should lead into the next book in the series and a mystery with what is up with prospect John. Lots of erotic passion unfolds as well as drama. I really enjoyed reading this story and kept reading until I finished within a day. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series. I hope it centers on Sniper and Sparroy....and oh, there is that little mission to rescue Amelia....all of that will make for a next book or so!

This was a simply captivating read, unusual and truly different
Ryatt had never forgotten the people he had lost in the forces or those that had been killed by the vaccination the government had claimed would be a solution for keeping the masses safe. Unfortunately, this had not been the case and many of those that had taken up the offer of the vaccination had died terrible deaths.
Within their compound Rhett and his MC members have tried to keep those under their care safe by protecting them from those still suffering from the plague that kill without any control. Also there are those that are simply trying to stay alive and help those around them but Ryatt has now just rescued Eden and made her his woman and he will do whatever it takes to ensure her safety.
After the loss of the last remaining member of her family her father Eden has decided that she is going to live every day as though it is her last and she intends to do this in the arms of her man Ryatt.
Her father trusted him and he had been her brother’s best friend before his death after the vaccination, she had already gone through hell trying to survive with so many trying to harm any women they find, she knew that he would do whatever was needed to ensure her life.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

3.5 stars
Different kind of story for me, reminded me of some romance that are post war times. Power exchange, spankings, power bottom with a hard shelled biker with a tender heart for the only girl her could ever love.
Women are in short supply, while men rule the world after some virus was let loose, vaccines turned people into crazy killers but had very short life span after the vaccines. Eden, Catholic college student, is on the run with her dad to head back to their hometown but trouble came. Ryatt, ex military, Prez of his biker club is true biker power but helps their community and its people.
Eden and Ryatt knew each other before the virus, before his military career since Ryatt was her brother best friend and she always had a crush on the man, but after all these years, he’s there to protect her but from what?.?

If you love MC books then this is definately one you dont want to miss because i certainly loved it.
Ryatt formed his MC before the virus, but after everything that happened they purchased a local community college that is now their headquarters. However when his friends father turns up at their gates near to death, and pleading to save his daughters life Ryatt immediately takes action. When he finds Eden, she certainly has grown up since he last saw her. His words to everyone were Claimed, Eden was his.
Eden had always had feelings for Ryatt , so when he saved her she was happy, but then she has to come to the reality of the rules of his club and the fact that she is now his.

This is one really awesome book to read, and i loved every minute of it and im sure you you will as well. 5 stars for a great book to read.

Recognizing him as Mr Abner the father of his best friend growing up he rushes to the gate. The older man is bleeding from what looks like more than one gunshot wound so he calls for the their doctor. He asks Ryatt to save his daughter Eden who he had left hiding in a shed near the church. Gathering a group together they head for the church but when they find Eden Ryatt claims her as his.

After a recent apocalypse from disease, Ryatt and his crew are rebuilding in their own small society. There are a lot more men than women now and Ryatt has been entrusted to keep one sage—and he is claiming her as his like he wanted for a while. Eden is all grown up and as innocent as they come until her gets her. Ryatt is very much a leader and very much set in his own ideas and values. He is also absolutely filthy with Eden once he gets started. They are really hot when they are together and he definitely takes her out of the box, so to speak. I would really like to se what happens with the rescued woman and the upcoming rescue.

So, definitely a post apocalyptical story. Everything has gone to he** and many have died. There are few women left and the men have become patriarchal. Eden leaves her private college with her father to get to safety. Unfortunately, even though Eden is protected by her father, her father dies after entrusting her safety to Ryatt, a man who was friends with her brother and trusted by her father. There is a disturbing scene (to me), but otherwise, I did enjoy the story and will come back to read the next book in the series.

Hot, apocalyptic MC romance that grabs you from the start and really gets your motor running. Ryatt and Eden are both sizzling. I can't wait for more from the Southern Quest Motorcycle Club!

This was a nice life after the apocalypse type book. Eden the good ole Christian college girl needs to get to the older backhome bad boy biker so he can keep her safe after the apocalypse. Entertaining read. Check it out if this genre is your jam. I will definitely be back for the next one. Happy reading!

[Kathleen Bradbury (Bulfon) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very short story. Love the characters, explicit moments and the plot is intriguing. I enjoyed reading this story as well as the additional deleted scene afterward. Hot, hot, hot and I definitely recommend it.
