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.

This is the third book in the Southern Quest Motorcycle Club. You don't need to read the first two, but it helps. We are in a post apocalyptical world. There was a world wide illness and then the vaccine that was developed turned everyone who got it rabid and they had to be killed. Of course, most men turn into animals that want to own and debase women. Lilly was with one like that originally, but she killed him when he tried to rape another woman and then left to go back with her to the community where the men were part of a motorcycle gang and were protectors. Arsenic is one of those men and he liked Lilly from the start. She was raised by a doomsday family who had everything needed to survive the apocalypse and was well taught. Lilly and Arsenic get a HEA and there are glimpses of the next book of the series.

I received a advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

Im just loving these books by LA Day. Her Southern Quest MC men absolutely know how to handle sassy women, and in this case its Lillys turn to find her man.
Arsenic: ever since they picked up Lilly, he knew there was something about her that drew her to him. However now he is seeing another side to Lilly and hes just loving her other side, her true self. She is stronger than all of them thought, she knows how to handle guns and defnately knows how to do self defense. She is no longer a mousey little girl they pick up not so long ago.
Lilly: there was something about that man, he was georgous and he appealed to her from the start. Trusting these men she takes Arsenic to where she used to live on the farm, to show them that they had plenty of weapons and a solid bunker if needed.

A great story and i really will be looking forward to the next once when it comes out. Five stars

A great story and part of a series. Lilly is a survivor in a new world. Lucky her father taught her how to survive. Lilly is rescued by Arsenic, part of the Southern Quest MC, former military that's protecting the people. Arsenic knows that the moment he sees Lilly that she is going to be his. The story is full of action, adventure, mystery, suspense, and is super steamy. Loved the storyline, the characters and can't wait to read the next book by this author. (I also need to catch up with the other books) Highly recommend. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lily was raised in a doomsayer family and trained to survive an apocalypse and after the virus and vaccine she needed those skills. When she meets Arsenic sparks fly but he is worried that he might lose control. Will he be able to keep her safe from others and himself? Fast paced read with loads of drama, suspense and steam. Great characters with lots of emotion and sizzling scenes. I really liked it.

When Arsenic goes for it, he really goes for it. I like that he and Lilly spend time talking, but they are also full steam hotness too. Her safety is his top priority, but she has his back. They work well together, making him want her that much more. Her old home changes plans for the MC as a whole. There are some pretty funny moments. I really love this series. And there are so many options for what (and who) could happen with the next book! Eeek!

I received a free copy of this book.

It’s Lilly and Arsenic’s story this time! Lilly was rescued in the previous book, and it seems like not everything is like Arsenic thinks. There’s a lot of action, lots of fun wordplay, and lots of steam. There’s discoveries as more secrets become unwrapped. A very fun book!

Lilly is a strong heroine she is independent and not what Arsenic is used to. They find their balance through time and discover how good they are together. It was my first read by this author but it was good.

L.A. Day does not disappoint with the latest book in her hot post-apocalyptic MC series, Southern Quest. Arsenic and Lilly are both sweet, hot, and powerful together. Their partner dynamic is magnificent, both warriors and both intensely attracted to each other, two damaged people surviving the worst and building a strong relationship on mutual trust and respect that still leaves room for power play. I absolutely adored this couple and can't wait for more from all of these characters. You've got to love the post-apocalyptic world L.A. Day created, with plenty of room for realism, grit, danger, hope, true friendship and very steamy sexy-times. Highly recommend, and be warned, you'll get hooked!

Lilly was raised by her father to be ready for the apocalypse. She is alone and that has brought her to the Southern Quest MC, they have created a safe haven from the outbreak. She was rescued by them with the Pres of the MC, old lady Eden. She wants to stand on her own, she has had enough of men controlling her.

The Southern Quest MC is made up of former military and after the virus outbreak the government has forced a vaccine on people, turned them into crazed blood-thirsty monsters. Arsenic knows she is someone important to him, his old lady.

The story is steamy and full of action, look forward to the next book in the series.
