NOLA Rebels MC #10
Manny
From best selling author Mackenzy Fox comes the highly anticipated MC spin-off series from the Bracken Ridge
NOLA Rebels MC - (New Orleans Series Book 10)
Manny is a gritty, MMF motorcycle romance with three broken souls. Roommates to lovers, secret relationship, found family, hurt/comfort, single Dad and so much more.
Manny
When she walked into the MC
I knew I didn’t stand a chance
I’m the lovable cook
Not someone to love
But everything about her reels me in
And him
The mystery man who wants to meet
He chases the demons away
Even if he doesn’t let me get close
The temptation is too much
It may be my undoing
And everything I’ve ever held dear
Is about to get swept away
Lace
Turbulence is a word I know well
I've embraced what I can’t control
And falling for two men?
That was never on the agenda
But now I’ve had a taste?
I can’t stay away
Not when I don’t have to choose
Not when I love them both
Bandit
The monsters were real
Nobody ever told me
But the night I lost it all
Was the day I shut my heart down
I vowed to never love again
To bury my pain
But that hunger awakens inside me
And I don’t know if I should stay
Or run from the things that scare me the most
Including them
The men of the NOLA Rebels MC will do anything for their club. They’re a brotherhood, a club who stands mighty, and above all else, they take care of business, New Orleans style.
The bikers may rule this city, but the women of the club have their hearts, and the men will do anything to protect what’s theirs.
It is part of a series, but can be read stand-alone with a HEA. This book is recommended for mature readers

I am actually a little disappointed……
I’ve been reading every single book from this series. It’s not a Dark series, it’s MC, found family and spicy. Those are good in between books for me but I got it say the last 2 books “Riot” and now “Manny” disappointed me. And the reason is that I expected much more from Manny. He is the character everyone loves since the first book. He is the sweet but badass, gorgeous bisexual cook that is friends with everyone and everyone respects. He has a traumatic past but was never something he allowed to bring his spirt down. So needless to say I expected this book to explore his personality more and make the book ABOUT HIM ! Instead it felt like that was Bandit’s book since he had the most depth, POV’s and complications. Don’t get me wrong, Bandit is positively DELICIOUS and it was a pleasure seem this grumpy dirty man having a relationship with Lace and Manny. They made an amazing throuple and I loved that part. But Bandit and Lace had the most alone scenes, they had the most attention and Manny felt like he was a side character, a step into Lace and Bandit relationship. He wasn’t the one in charge which I would love to see, he wasn’t the one making the efforts and decisions. He was just there.
And to put the cherry on the top, we wait literally the WHOLE book for a Bandit and Manny scene and the author had the AUDACITY of not showing us their first time since it was made a big deal in the book. We had a insignificant scene between them 2 but with Lace, nothing like we have all the time throughout the whole book between Lace and Bandit.
I also don’t like that in the last 2 books in the series the author minimized the MC participation. This one has in the end but all the others have the MC and the old ladies been part throughout the whole book. Manny is friends with all of them and we saw none. I even forgot Summer and Jas existed. And they have some of my favorite books. Now that I am writing this review I am getting more upset about all this and I am changing my rating to 2.75⭐️ cause HOW DARE the author not give us Manny and Bandit’s first time and not give us a Manny book instead gave us a Bandit book masking by the name Manny? 😡😤

Finally, Manny gets his story told and it was absolutely amazing and more than I could have hoped for.
I have loved Manny right from the start and have always wanted him to get his well deserved happy ending. But what I didn’t expect with how heartbreaking his past was going to be and how much his story would have me in a chokehold.
Manny is such an incredible character with a heart of gold. Everyone loves him and gravitates towards him. Especially when he cooks!!
Lacey is a fiery spitfire of a woman. She has been through a hell of a lot in her life but has come out on top, continuing to still be the fierce fighter that she is.
Jonah is a broken man who is struggling with his feelings. He desperately wants Lacey but he also wants Manny even though he tries hard to fight those feelings.
The interactions between the three of them is filled with such intense feelings and emotional turmoil. As soon as they can resolve some of their issues, their relationship becomes so much more.
The chemistry between the three of them had my kindle and body ready to burst into flames. There was so much steam coming out of the pages that I desperately needed to take a cold shower to cool down.
Such a fantastic story filled with suspense, drama, angst, spice, passion and an incredible love between some amazing characters. Loved it!!

Ok, a big big WOW.
This is this Author’s first MMF story, and I’m putting it out there now for everyone ..
It couldn’t have been written more perfectly .
🧑🍳 😘
I wouldn’t change one thing!
Also , the spice ?
I’m telling you. Impeccable.
Maybe her spiciest, yet.
I’m talking - several cold fresh air breaks were needed.
Good lord. 🥵
When you open a MC book, you generally aren’t going in expecting emotional or “teddybear” MMC’s, but the men in this series are unlike most in their world.
Reading this , I’ve no doubt how much work, time and research went into it .
Each of the MC’s have their own history of trauma that they navigate and work together to overcome.
The story centers around the topic of a bi awakening in one of the MMC’s. The support of everyone in their MC , and his character development throughout the story was pivotal to how seamlessly this story played out.
I absolutely loved how accepting the MC family was of the character; and the thruple dynamic in general. (Minus a sibling … it took him some time.. 😈).
I’m saving the MFC for last.
I LOVEDDDDD HER.
She’s a spitfire ! She’s funny, outspoken, and knows what she wants!
I simply adored her ! This story was perfect in every way!

This is the second book I have read of this series and it just get better and better.
The chemistry between these 3 is just through the roof. The steam is coming off the pages. The dirty talk 🥵
They all have their trauma.
Manny is the sunshine character but still have his moments of self-doubts.
Lace has been through alot and she is fierce overcoming it all.
Bandit aka Jonah really struggle with his bi awakening and his attraction to both Manny and Lace. I think the author did the subject justice.
As they all open up to each other, they bring their relationship to another level.
I love this book and I can’t wait to read the next one after we got that little teaser of Hustler.
Thank you to Mackenzy Fox and The Author Agency for the eARC. This is my honest review.

I’m Hooked
What a well-done book. This author killed it with it with the characters she brought to life. All three of them were damaged but I loved how they finally found their peace with each other. Manny, Bandit and Lace were able to make this work and I loved the spiciness to it. Right from the get go I felt my heart tearing apart when reading of their pasts. It was a long journey to get to their HEA but so worth the ride!!

Manny’s turn. Finally!
This book just about tore my heart out.
These three have so much trauma before they came together. And it’s sad.
But silver lining is they are perfect for each other.
You’ll be engrossed in this MMF romance from the first page.

OMG!!
I love these three together. Manny has been a favorite of mine from the beginning and I’m so glad he got his HEA!! Boy this one had steam coming off the pages.
Things get a touch complicated in the beginning. Lacey is a sweet not so innocent who wants them both.
Jonah is struggling with things in his life trying to care for his son.
A different turn for this author but she did an amazing job.

Manny was not what I expected. It exceeded expectations and was so much more than I could have hoped for.
It might be titled Manny but it is just as much Bandit (Jonah's) story. He's newer to the MC and Manny has been around since book one, so it's only fair he gets all the glory and the title I guess. Have to say though, I would have loved a cover with two members on the cover.
Manny isn't a member of the MC though. If you've read the books you know that Manny is that sassy, loveable cook who keeps the men's bellies full and their women happy with friendship. He's a part of the club and never treated like an outsider, but he's also not a patched member so he's kept away from the club business. But he knows it all thanks to the pillow talk all the women of the club share with him after the fact.
Bandit is newer to the club, we met him in Harlem's book as Indigo's brother. He's a single father and suffered the tragedy of losing his wife. He keeps to himself mostly so far. He also works as a stripper at one of the club-owned businesses. While he had the same horrible father and upbringing as Indigo he doesn't hate the MC life and when he's offered the opportunity to join the Rebels without prospecting he takes it.
Bandit and Manny really have no relationship up to this point, except Manny like Eli (Bandit's son) and they bake together at times when he's at the club house.
What brings these two together is Lacey. Lacey is Riot's little sister and she's been away from New Orleans but recently returned. When their father lost it Lacey survived being shot and Riot is super protective of her. Now she's back and finding her way all over again. She finds her way right to Bandit, the two start a sort of relationship that no one knows about and it's during that time that Bandit reveals a little secret.
Lace is also attracted to Manny but thinks he's got no interest in her. She knows he's bi and likes women and men but he's made no moves to get closer to her. When he offers Lace a room at his house though all that sexual tension that Manny has been fighting doesn't stay contained for too long, not when Lacey lets him know she's interested.
These three do not come together smoothly. Bandit is somewhat in the closet not admitting that he's got feelings for a man. He's never really been drawn to a man before until Manny and he fights the attraction a whole lot. Manny picks and pushes at his walls wearing him down and with Lacey in the middle (no pun intended) he finds that having them both is everything he wanted.
While the club is cool with Manny's preferences Bandit worries what it will mean with them if he comes clean about his feelings. Not to mention dating a club sister is usually an issue unless it's serious, so Riot is going to get his nose out of joint for sure. But, there's no fighting love and it might take them a bit to realize it but they are all falling.
It's not an MC story without some danger though and it comes for them in two directions and with danger lurking the club always comes together.
I didn't know I'd like Manny's story as much as I did and I'm so glad it was added to the series. It's a little different for an MC novel but I loved it.
.
.
.
Like all the women of the club, Manny has developed a quick and fast friendship with Lacey since her return to New Orleans. Unlike the other women of the club though Manny is attracted to Lacey. Messing around with a club sister is the quickest way to a beat down though and Manny quite likes his face the way it is. Besides, there is no way Lace is interested in the club chef. In fact, she's told him before that she's kind of seeing someone.
Lacey came back to New Orleans to start over and in truth to hide out for a bit. Her last job wasn't what she thought and she got out before she could do anything that might get her in trouble. She just wasn't sure how they would react to her leaving. She loved her brother and her Dad. Not the man who helped bring her into the world but the one who saved her when her father tried to kill her. She was finding that she really loved being around the club and all the women who had become Ol' Ladies recently. She also found spending time with Bandit both exciting and fun. She was definitely attracted to him but she also found herself attracted to Manny the club cook.
While she denied her attraction to Manny and kept him in the friend zone she couldn't help but want to see what being with Manny could be like. Especially after Bandit had told her one of his fantasies. When she needs a place to stay and Manny offers she's not sure it's the best idea but it is her best option. Moving in with someone she considered a friend shouldn't be a hardship, but moving in with someone that she was insanely attracted to despite that he wasn't attracted to her was making things difficult.
Bandit thought he had it all once, and then he lost his wife in an accident. Instead of having a happy family he had a little baby and was all alone. Eli was his whole world and he wasn't sure he would ever be able to love anyone besides him again. Being with Lace though had a part of Bandit waking up. He didn't know what they were but he knew they were something and he wanted her. When he sees her with Manny he can't help but see red. Despite everything she was his girl. He might have had certain thoughts about her and another man but not Manny and not without him. The fact that he was drawn to Manny only made things more confusing. Bandit had never been gay or bi or liked other men, but when he looked at Manny he saw so much more.
With the two of them almost fighting over her and marking her like territory Lace couldn't see how they could ever work. Surprisingly though, Bandit tries to give her everything she wants and finds that he can't resist Manny anymore than he can resist Lacey. A relationship is not on the cards for him though and certainly not with two other people. How would he explain it to his son and the rest of the club let alone the outside world?
Manny can understand some of Bandit's hang-ups but to him they mean nothing. No matter how complicated it is finding the right person or people should be all that matters. He's not sure how to even really be in love but for Lace and Jonah he's willing to at least try. If it means he has to bash down everyone of Jonah's walls then he's determined to try because Lace deserves to be happy even if that means he has to share her.
"I would never hurt you."
"Not physically, Jonah, I believe that, but emotionally? Emotionally, you have the ability to destroy me. I can't speak for Lace, but -"
"Why would I have the ability to destroy you?"
"Because I've found something that feels pretty close to fucking perfect and I don't want to lose it."
Lacey has no idea how to keep her men together when they continue to argue and butt heads. In the moments when they are truly together though the world seems perfect. She doesn't want to give that up but she's not sure of what else to do.
"You were hot. And so were you. I don't get how you can't see how perfect this is. You both like me, so even if you don't wanna cross swords together, we could still have some fun. You just both need to get you heads out of your asses."
When Lacey's past comes looking for her and a threat to the club resurfaces the danger they are all in brings their relationship out in the open and despite what it might cost them they are in this together as long as they can all survive it.
Happy Reading.

Bandit thought he had it all once, and then he lost his wife in an accident. Instead of having a happy family he had a little baby and was all alone. Eli was his whole world and he wasn't sure he would ever be able to love anyone besides him again. Being with Lace though had a part of Bandit waking up. He didn't know what they were but he knew they were something and he wanted her. When he sees her with Manny he can't help but see red. Despite everything she was his girl. He might have had certain thoughts about her and another man but not Manny and not without him. The fact that he was drawn to Manny only made things more confusing. Bandit had never been gay or bi or liked other men, but when he looked at Manny he saw so much more.
With the two of them almost fighting over her and marking her like territory Lace couldn't see how they could ever work. Surprisingly though, Bandit tries to give her everything she wants and finds that he can't resist Manny anymore than he can resist Lacey. A relationship is not on the cards for him though and certainly not with two other people. How would he explain it to his son and the rest of the club let alone the outside world?
Manny can understand some of Bandit's hang-ups but to him they mean nothing. No matter how complicated it is finding the right person or people should be all that matters. He's not sure how to even really be in love but for Lace and Jonah he's willing to at least try. If it means he has to bash down everyone of Jonah's walls then he's determined to try because Lace deserves to be happy even if that means he has to share her.
"I would never hurt you."
"Not physically, Jonah, I believe that, but emotionally? Emotionally, you have the ability to destroy me. I can't speak for Lace, but -"
"Why would I have the ability to destroy you?"
"Because I've found something that feels pretty close to fucking perfect and I don't want to lose it."
Lacey has no idea how to keep her men together when they continue to argue and butt heads. In the moments when they are truly together though the world seems perfect. She doesn't want to give that up but she's not sure of what else to do.
"You were hot. And so were you. I don't get how you can't see how perfect this is. You both like me, so even if you don't wanna cross swords together, we could still have some fun. You just both need to get you heads out of your asses."
When Lacey's past comes looking for her and a threat to the club resurfaces the danger they are all in brings their relationship out in the open and despite what it might cost them they are in this together as long as they can all survive it.
Happy Reading.

Book Review: Manny by: Mackenzy Fox
It’s Trope Tuesday and I’ve got a good one well I couldn’t just pick one with this book so I picked the a couple: overcoming trauma, secret relationship, and found family for this week! And you can find all that and so much more in Manny by Mackenzy Fox!!! Be sure to have the tissues and a fan because this book really checks all the boxes! You’ll be surprised, giggling, swooning, and fanning yourself throughout this wild ride of a story in the latest of the Nola Rebels MC book. I’ve waited so long for his book I think I wrote Mackenzy after Nevadas because I couldn’t take it anymore and begged her to give us Manny! And holy hotness did she!
This is a devastating beautiful story! Its a deeply emotional expression of love that totally breaks the social norms and weaves together beautifully the challenges of accepting who you are, being brave to go after what you want, and knowing your worthy of it. This story is packed to the brim like it is for all of her books with passion, healing from trauma, and found family ones that would destroy the world for you.
I love the way she takes broken people who love so fiercely and support those around them and gives them the space to work together to heal and find love and acceptance.
If you love MC romances this one is next level- rich plot, action, suspense, and again holy hotness level of spice! Her storytelling in this book was amazing especially the flashbacks for the characters and their pasts. Like I said have tissues I wish I could give them a big hug. Tension, pining, angst, and banter, and two dirty talking MMCs give you everything you could want.
Manny is drawn to Lace and also Jonah but doesn’t know how either of them feel. He is always the sunshine character in these books and the confidant! So it was totally perfect and the biggest awww moment when he got patched in.
Lace literally is a miracle walking with her backstory and she is fierce overcoming all that she has. She’s the heroine in trouble unfortunately in this story but by no means is she weak in fact she definitely will put you in your place.
Bandit aka Jonah if I thought the other’s backstories were heartbreaking his was soul crushing what a decision to have to make. His wife tragically passed leaving him a single dad who has always struggled with his heart and knowing he is bi Lace and Manny opened his closed off heart and supported his very difficult process of coming out even when he was super mean they gave him the space and understanding while not only loving him but his son.
And to top this perfect book with a bow we got to see little Easter eggs for the next book Hustler! I’m so so excited for that one!
Definitely read this book after you check the TWs you will not be disappointed!

Star: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Manny by Mackenzy Fox at its core, it is a story of love, redemption, and the power of connection between three deeply broken individuals—Manny, Lace, and Bandit—each grappling with their own pasts while learning to embrace a future together.
Manny, the lovable cook of the MC, hides a deep sense of inadequacy beneath his warm exterior. His journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance is heart-wrenching yet inspiring, as he navigates the unexpected intensity of his feelings for both Lace and Bandit. Lace, a woman who has weathered life’s storms, exudes resilience and adaptability. Her ability to embrace love in its unconventional form is a central force that binds the trio together, as she realises she doesn’t have to choose between the two men who have captured her heart. Bandit, the brooding and guarded member of the MC, struggles with a past that has left him emotionally scarred. His resistance to love makes his eventual surrender to Manny and Lace all the more powerful, creating moments of vulnerability that resonate deeply.
The story is enriched with a tapestry of beloved romance tropes, including roommates to lovers, found family, and hurt/comfort, while exploring the complexities of a polyamorous relationship. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, with Mackenzy Fox striking a perfect balance between fiery passion and tender emotional connection. The narrative captures the rawness of the motorcycle club lifestyle without losing sight of the deeply personal stories of healing and love.
Set against the atmospheric backdrop of New Orleans, the vivid descriptions of the city’s charm and danger complement the intensity of the characters' journeys. The MC world feels authentic, with a brotherhood that is fiercely loyal and ready to protect their own at all costs. This blend of setting and character development creates a story that is both immersive and emotionally resonant.
Manny is a deeply moving exploration of love that defies societal norms, showcasing the beauty and challenges of finding strength and solace in unconventional relationships. Mackenzy Fox delivers a compelling narrative filled with passion, redemption, and the undeniable truth that even the most broken souls can find wholeness in love. This is a must-read for fans of motorcycle romances and heartfelt storytelling, offering a unique and satisfying take on the genre.

✨BOOK REVIEW✨
Manny by Mackenzy Fox 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Manny by Mackenzy Fox is a sensational addition to the NOLA Rebels MC series, and it absolutely blew me away! This gritty, MMF motorcycle romance dives deep into the hearts of three beautifully broken souls—Manny, Lace, and Bandit—and takes readers on an unforgettable journey of love, healing, and passion.
From the very first page, I was hooked. Manny, the lovable cook with a heart of gold, steals your heart with his warmth and quiet strength. His journey from self-doubt to embracing love is nothing short of inspiring. Lace, fierce and resilient, brings a refreshing energy to the story. Her strength, vulnerability, and willingness to love both men without reservation make her an unforgettable heroine. And then there’s Bandit—the enigmatic, haunted man who struggles with his past but finds solace and love in the most unexpected places.
The chemistry between these three is off-the-charts sizzling! The romance is not only deeply emotional but also wonderfully spicy. Mackenzy Fox masterfully balances the intense, steamy scenes with moments of tender vulnerability. I’ll admit, there were moments that made me blush, but I couldn’t get enough!
The themes of found family, hurt/comfort, and healing are woven seamlessly into the narrative. The way these three characters navigate their pain, fears, and ultimately find solace in each other is incredibly moving. The MC backdrop adds grit and depth, perfectly complementing the raw, emotional journey of the characters.
Manny is not just a love story—it’s a testament to the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds. The NOLA Rebels MC is a brotherhood that stands strong, and the love and loyalty within this family are palpable. Fox has created a world that is as gritty as it is heartwarming, and I was completely immersed from start to finish.
If you’re a fan of intense, spicy romances with complex characters and a heartfelt journey, Manny is a must-read. This standalone novel with its HEA will leave you breathless, blushing, and begging for more!
5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommended for mature readers who crave a deeply emotional, wildly passionate, and beautifully crafted romance.

This was mackenzys first ever MMF book, so she made sure to be respectful in depicting Bandit as he hadn't come out yet and was in denial of his feelings.
She's an absolutely amazing author for this, I think she did a good job for her 1st MMF book.
*Manny is the Club chef for the New Orleans Nola Rebels MC he's also bisexual 😘 and an absolute sweetheart.
*Bandit is a member of the MC and a single dad plus a part-time stripper and works as a mechanic, hahaha 😆 man of many things.
*Lace is Riots' little sister and has had a rough life. Specially considering her brother killed her dad, he was protecting them. Their dad killed their mother and tried to kill Lace, so it's justified.
I always wanted Manny to get his own book he's a huge part of this whole series and MC so for him to get his own book and an mmf one at that i was excited. I do wish that there was more Manny time tho, This book felt more like bandits book than mannys, but also that Manny was a side character to the lace and bandit show, I would have looooved to read in this book Manny and bandits 1st time alone together as I was waiting the whole book for that to happen.
I was awwing and laughing so much throughout this book.
And Manny getting his own cut omg 😲 that made me smile and laugh, especially this -> “Wouldn’t wanna ruin that pretty face, or that ridiculous haircut.” “Ridiculous?” “You’re just saying that because you’ve got a receding hairline.” lol 😆
Lace was great, I loved that she's was the type of woman who was honest and went for what she wanted and got it. She couldn't help who she liked and felt no shame in it she just happened to like two of the most perfect men for her.
Bandit, i think he got very lucky with Lace and Manny. They understood his delima and gave him the time and space he needed to allow himself to come to terms with his feelings. But they were honest and supportive of him. Never forcing him or pushing him to do something he didn't wana do. he wasn't alone ether considering Manny had been through this himself.
I didn't think they would work, but they just did, just wanted waay more Manny time/ Manny alone with lace, Manny alone with bandit.
She's an absolutely amazing author for this, I think she did a good job for her 1st MMF book.

Loved this book! I was so excited when i found out Manny was getting a book and then Mackenzy announced it was an MMF, and I was sold. This ws her first ever MMF and she did a fantastic job! I loved all 3 characters so much, and I couldn't get enough. I want more!! 🤣 This was a beautiful story of 3 people with a traumatic past all finding love and a safe space in one another. There was tension and so many emotions.
The book starts off with the prologue to Manny and what it was like for him in high school and, OMG, it broke my heart and made me want to give him a big hug. He is openly bi and has this attraction to Jonah, but thinks he is straight, and he is attracted to Lace, but doesn't know how she feels and doesn't want to risk their friendship. When Manny gets patched in OMG i teared up a little bit. He really is just a ray of sunshine and always making everyone laugh.
Lace is Riot's sister who we met in his book and read about her traumatic past. She is definitely a wild child trying to fill the hole in her heart that her past left there. As always, Mackenzy wrote a strong and fiery FMC who speaks her mind and doesn't take crap from anyone. She was the glue who held the trouple together. She liked both of them so much and made it her mission to bring the two men together, and that she did. The spicy scenes were HOT. 🥵
Jonah or bandit as he is known in the MC, also has a traumatic past and losing his wife in a car accident years ago closed off his heart and left him broody. He has this connection to Manny even though he doesn't want to admit it to himself. He definitely has some ahole moments towards Manny while he struggles with his feelings. He really does struggle with his attraction to him, but once he accepts it, they are beautiful together.
I loved the glimpses into Hustler and Audriana we got, who are the next book, and I can not wait for them.

This book blew me away. I have never read anything from Mackenzy so with no context I was blown away with how amazing this book and the characters were. Set around the NOLA Rebels MC, this is the story focussing on Manny, the cook. But, he is so much more than just a cook. He is the guy all the woman go to for advice, he has a gentle soul and they all, to him, are everything.
Lace is the sister of Riot, one of the guys, and she definitely turns heads. Lace has left an accounting job to work in a diner, and holds her cards close to her chest. Especially about why she has left her job. She has the attention of Bandit (Jonah) our resident single Dad. But Lace also is attracted to Manny, and Manny is bisexual, something not publicly known, but those yearnings also exist within Jonah. Manny and Jonah usually find themselves at loggerheads, or more to the point, Manny knows how to push Jonahs buttons......and as it unfolds, all that does is stir up those feelings Jonah has spent a lifetime suppressing. I can't even begin to explain the emotions that exists between these three, it is felt in every word, and every turn of the page, and when I say I could not put it down, I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN.
Now, a polyamorous relationship can be written in such a way that leaves a sour taste in ones mouth, but Mackenzy has beautifully articulated this from all points of view, and I fell in love even more with this throuple. They are three broken souls that need each other, and find the comfort within the uniqueness of their relationship, that what they feel cannot be denied. Amazing writing, and I could have read so much more about them all. I now need to read all the books, as the side characters of NOLA's feature so prominently that it has made me want to know more. This can be read as a standalone as I had no issue following the storyline. Love this, one of my top reads to the year.

**Review: Manny (NOLA Rebels MC - New Orleans #10) by Mackenzy Fox**
⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 stars)
Mackenzie Fox delivers an emotional rollercoaster in *Manny*, a gritty, MMF romance with heartache, heat, and rebellion. Manny, the lovable club chef, never thought he’d find love, but when Lace walks into the MC, everything changes. Lace is strong, independent, and damaged, and the chemistry between her, Manny, and Bandit is undeniable. The book explores a **MC bi awakening** and the tension of a secret relationship that’s both passionate and dangerous.
Lace, already a "Sister" of the club, never expected to fall for two men. She struggles with her feelings, trying to love freely without judgment. Bandit, the brooding recruit, is battling his own demons, having vowed never to love again after losing everything. The pain he’s been hiding adds depth to his character, and his connection with Manny and Lace is raw and real.
The action is intense, with turf wars and Mafia interference. Snipers, drama, and turf war chaos constantly threaten their fragile love. The question of whether the club will accept their **poly relationship** and Manny’s bi awakening gives the story even more weight.
The **hurt/comfort** aspect is strong, with each character healing the others. Manny’s unconditional love, Lace’s fear of rejection, and Bandit’s inner battle make for a gripping emotional journey. The chemistry between the trio is powerful, and the book keeps you hooked with every twist and turn.
🔥 **Emotional. Hot. Heartbreaking.** *Manny* is a steamy MC romance that beautifully explores love in all its messy, complicated forms. 4 stars for this action-packed, angsty, and intense read. 😍💥💔
If you love polyamorous romances, MC drama, and bi awakenings, *Manny* is a must-read!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the story of Manny, Bandit and Lace. These three people are some damaged human beings. I loved that we got to see Manny in his past. In high school actually. But what you read will break your heart. He has always had an attraction Jonah and has never hidden the fact that he likes guys and girls. However he feels like Jonah is attracted to Lace and wants nothing to do with him. He and Lace are friends and he isn't willing to do anything to risk losing that friendship. Now we are in the present and he is a patched in member of the NOLA Rebels MC. If you have read Riots book then you know that Lace is his sister and she has a very traumatic past. She is a wild woman though. However, part of that is certainly her trying to fill a hole in her heart that her past has left there. I loved Lace. She is tough as nails and is never afraid to speak her mind. She is also not one to let anyone run all over her and take advantage. She also is the one who holds the relationship between her Bandit and Manny together. Bandit/Jonah is attracted to both Lace and Manny though he doesn't want to admit that to himself at first. He too has dealt with some serious trauma in his life when he lost his wife due to a car accident and he really guards his heart and isn't willing to open it up for anyone. He is also one broody, arrogant, butt when he wants to be. I think a lot of that is his way of protecting himself. Together the three of them are absolutely amazing and give so much of themselves to each other. I really loved reading this book. It is one that you do not want to miss.
This is the story of Manny, Bandit and Lace. These three people are some damaged human beings. I loved that we got to see Manny in his past. In high school actually.

Spiciness: 🌶🌶🌶🌶
"UNPUTDOWNABLE!"
Manny is a raw and emotionally charged addition to Mackenzy Fox’s NOLA Rebels MC series.
Manny pulled me in right from the start with its raw emotion and complex relationships. Manny’s lovable yet insecure nature made me root for him instantly, and the way his connection with Lace and Jonah evolved felt so authentic.
Each character brought something unique to the table—Manny’s warmth, Lace’s fierce yet vulnerable spirit, and Jonah’s tortured past gave the story incredible depth. The themes of found family and healing added layers that made this more than just a romance. I found myself genuinely invested in their journey and couldn’t put the book down.
What really stood out for me was the chemistry between the trio. Their unconventional MMF dynamic was written with so much care and emotion. I could feel the weight of Jonah’s pain, Manny’s longing for love, and Lace’s determination to bring them together.
It wasn’t just about the romance; it was about trust and breaking down emotional walls. The mix of gritty MC life and tender moments made the story both intense and uplifting, leaving me with all the feels.
The only downside for me was that the pacing in the middle felt a little uneven. There were moments when the characters’ individual struggles seemed to slow down the momentum of the romance. That said, the emotional payoff was more than worth it. Manny is a beautifully crafted story about love, redemption, and the courage to embrace the things that scare us most. If you’re into deep, emotional reads with sizzling chemistry, this one’s for you! Add this to your TBR list now!

Oh my lord. I have been WAITING for Manny's books since I first found my way to the Nola Rebels MC Series and to finally have got my hands on it AND for it to be MMF I could just die on the spot and be happy with my life. I loved Manny from the get go, was always so curious about the hot biker chef, every girls best friend and so to have his book with a girl who I love from being a sister of another character and a SINGLE DAD was just perfect.
Manny's book was everything and more that I needed it to be. Nothing will ever compare to it. The whole sneaking around, finding out sexualities, trying new things was all part of the fun. Our trio is the best. Obviously, we have Manny, then we have our girl Lace and finally the single dad biker Bandit. They all worked so well together. Once Bandit relaxes, that is.
I loved the plot line for this book I could not put this book down, it was steamy and emotional, all three characters had been through so much and for them to all end up together by the helping hand of Lace wanting both men was such a joy to read. They all deserve the world and more. I did not see part of what happened in the plot coming at all, very traumatising at points. Mackenzy, you did not need to scare me like that (if you read the book, you will know what i am referring to).
I can't wait for the next book of the series, WE ARE GETTING THE PARENTS OF TWO BIKERS AT LAST. Love who our next characters are. It is going to be amazing. I also can't wait to see Manny, Lace, and Bandit again as their trio of lovers and see how they progress in their lives.

ARC REVIEW
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Manny was the first book I read by Mackensy, and I can confidently say it won’t be the last.
Manny is the kind of guy everyone adores, especially all the girls in the club. He’s the one who always looks out for everyone else, but who’s there to take care of him?
Lace is looking for a fresh start after the trauma she endured in Arizona. Her past still haunts her, but she hopes to find some peace of mind near her brother and the family she’s found within the MC. She’s a strong woman, unafraid to speak up about what she wants and needs.
Jonah (Bandit) is a single father who’s spent most of his son’s life focusing solely on him, neglecting his own needs and locking away his emotions behind thick walls.
The chemistry between the three of them is incredible. While I found myself wanting to slap Jonah at times for the way he handled the feelings Manny brought out in him, it’s easy to understand how overwhelming it can be.
But, as always, open communication and a supportive environment are key to feeling free and comfortable in any relationship. I really appreciated the respectful way the author approached these dynamics.
I loved the moment when Manny receives his cut and gets patched in, and how the other members acknowledge his dedication and hard work within the club.
The scenes between the three of them are hot, intense, and full of chemistry.
Thank you The Agency Authors and Mackenzy Fox for gifting me with this ARC

Tropes:
🏍️ MC romance
🔥 MMF
🏍️ Bi-awakening
🔥 Found family
🏍️ FMC is biker’s little sister
🔥 2nd MMC is single dad
🏍️ Secret relationship
🔥 Overcoming trauma
MMF is my new favourite trope! This book was hot hot hot. 🔥🔥🔥
I couldn’t wait to read Manny’s story after reading the first 9 books in the NOLA Rebels MC series and it was worth the wait.
Manny is the lovable cook, Bandit is the single dad biker and Lacey is one of the other biker’s little sister.
They all have tortured pasts and carry that trauma with them but they are just so good for each other.
At the beginning, Bandit was in denial of his sexuality and wouldn’t admit that he liked guys as well as girls but Manny and Lacey provided him a safe space to open up and once he did, these 3 were unstoppable.
The spice was out of this world. So good and so HOT 🔥 Couldn’t get enough of it. I especially loved when Manny and Bandit were on their own and explored their chemistry especially in the bonus chapter at the end. 😍🫠😮💨
There are some obstacles to overcome and a few unexpected plot twists but these 3 get through it and make it work.
Loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes MC romance mixed with a MMF trope.
I can’t wait to read the next book which includes 2 of the bikers parents - Hustler and Audrina. I know Mackenzy Fox will deliver another best seller.

I have wanted more on Manny since he was first introduced. I was so happy to learn that he was getting his own book and it was MMF 🫣
Manny is learning to love himself better, Lace the absolute spitfire who has been through some things in the past and Bandit trying to let people in and love again. They each offer something to their relationship and in doing so, it makes them all whole again. They were each others missing piece in life.
The tension building up to all three of them together was so intense and once they were all together 🥵 The spice was spicin for sure 😮💨
This book took me through the feels, when Manny was patched in, when they were vulnerable with each, when the climax of the book happened and I was left in tears wondering what was going to happen.
I love this series so much and cant wait for Hustler and Audrina next.

-Single Dad
-Roommates to Lovers
-Enemies to Lovers
-Found Family

*Spiciness: 4.5 / 5
This was my first book by Mackenzy Fox and I had fun reading it. All 3 main characters and their individual stories are well written. I appreciate how Mackenzy has portrayed all different emotions like the fear, doubt, guilt and dilemma a person goes through when they are coming to terms regarding their sexuality. It was touching to read how all 3 main characters had found a family in NOLA Rebels MC where they were accepted, supported and loved for who they are. All 3 characters bring something unique in their relationship and in a way complete the other 2. This is book 10 in NOLA Rebel MC (New Orleans) book series and I haven’t read any of the previous books. So it was a little bit difficult for me to remember and connect who other characters are and their relationships. This is also my first book with MC (Motorcycle Club) trope and I got lost in terminology and had to google them 🙈. With that said, this book has a lot of funny banters, teasing, flirting, emotional moments, sweet gestures and hella lot of spicy scenes for us smut lovers out there. If you like reading MC romance book give this one a try.

Holy Forking Smutballs 🥵 when I tell you this book MELTED ME
One minute I'm kicking my legs and giggling like a school girl, then I'm hot flushing like I'm menopausal, next minute I'm a sappy gooey mess on the floor from all the love!!
This book gives you all the feels but what I really need, is to wake up sandwiched between Emmanuel and Jonah STAT
(BRB moving to NOLA)
ALSO I want to join in on Manny's cooking classes with Eli, I don't think a lot of baking would get done but it would be cute AF.
ALSO ALSO I NEED his recipe book!
Joking aside 'Manny' is a beautiful story about trauma, healing and when it feels right to let people in and opening your self to love. Much like the kitchen is the heart of the home, Manny has always felt like the heart of the club and I'm so happy for him to get his HEA! This is for sure my new favourite and will be yours too if you give it a try!

🌶🌶🌶 - Spice Level
Manny is the chef for the Nola Rebels. He's every female spouses' bestie in the MC. He's interested in Lace and in Bandit. He's been keeping it under wraps because he's been friend-zoned many times by Lace. Lace just started something with single dad Bandit. Technically, Manny hasn't been prospecting, but the club keeps him around like he is family or another patched member of the MC. As Bandit starts to explore his bisexual tendencies that he's kept fighting, Manny and Lace get closer as roommates. When Bandit realizes Lace is getting close with, he's jealous and finally admits to himself and both of them that he's in.
This throuple has its ups and downs as it comes together. Bandit had to come to terms with loving both and his child being in the mix. Both men had to deal with the MC and Lace's brother Riot. The story was great for a throuple, and their smeggsy was spicy whether they were MFM, MM, or MF. Bandit is more alpha with Lace and Manny being more submissive to him, which works. t
This is a great start as it's likely they will be mentioned again in future books. Now, onto some Silver Foxed West!
Thank you, author, for the ARC!

Manny by Mackenzy Fox at its core, it is a story of love, redemption, and the power of connection between three deeply broken individuals—Manny, Lace, and Bandit—each grappling with their own pasts while learning to embrace a future together.
This author killed it with it with the characters she brought to life. All three of them were damaged but I loved how they finally found their peace with each other. Manny, Bandit and Lace were able to make this work and I loved the spiciness to it.
I loved the plot line for this book I could not put this book down, it was steamy and emotional.
I loved how their relationship played out - you would never think that they would be able to make it work between them, but when things come to light, they will all surprise you! I loved how each of the main characters had their own dynamic in the relationship.

As this is 10th book of NOLA Rebels, and as a person who hasn't read the previous ones, the author made amazing job with the story to be read as a standalone. I didn't have a feeling I was missing something, not even once 🫶🏽
SO we have Manny, openly bi man, a cook of the MC club everyone loves, even if only secretly. He is the life of the party, regardless of his own trauma, he is there for everyone else, happy to be needed and helping.
OH and he has a massive crush on Lace, who has friend zoned him, kind of?
Lace is secretly crushing on Manny too, and when she is running from her past, working in a Cafe amd trying to look an affordable rental in even a decent area an unexpected proposal comes to her way. Will Lace accept Manny's offer to be his roomie and if so, can they keep it still friendly?
Especially because Lace is kind of seeing this older single dad nobody knows of...
Bandit is grumpy older man with trust issues, trauma and a son to take care of. And when he gets an idea of Manny in Lace's life, he gets all caveman and posessive over her... But he has his own secrets he has been trying to keep such, a secrets, but it is not always so easy, is it?
This story follows their journey to over come their issues and trauma, and learn to trust one another.
.
Holy shit this was so good and beautiful story of something 'different'. Not every relationship is the same and this book portrayed that so well! I love to see more this type of rep in books, more down earth.
Author delivered and I ate it up 🖤

Sweet and Sassy…
I’ve been so excited to read Manny’s book! Manny has been a sweet and sassy character throughout the series. He’s not only the MC’s cook, he’s also the old ladies BFF and lends his ear to all.
He puts all his love and energy into his cooking. But I knew he would have a heartbreaking past that made him into the man he is today. His character is bisexual and he’s never hid that from the MC.
Two characters we’ve seen in previous books of the series, Lace and Bandit(Jonah) become secretly involved with Manny.
Bandit has never been with another man but has always been curious. He and Manny butt heads when it comes to Lace but they grow to trust each other. Manny gives them all a safe place to explore this new relationship.
The three of them all have tragedy and traumatic pasts which makes you just want to see them find their HEA together.
(Chapter 26 about tore me up! That was emotional and made me miss my grandma!)
There’s so many good things that I loved in this book! I love this series so much and can’t wait for the next book. I have a feeling I know who is going to be on the cover too. The silver fox himself Wander!! I hope! I have my fingers crossed lol
