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 15)
Stay tuned for the Blurb!
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.

It is part of a series, but can be read stand-alone with a HEA. This book is recommended for mature readers

When she’s not writing she loves vegan cooking, walking her beloved pooch’s, reading books and is an expert on online shopping.

She strives to live a quiet and introverted life in Western Australia’s North West with her hubby, twin sister and her dogs.
Ok I know you’ll say that I give 5⭐️ like candy. And guess what ? I DO ! Because I am a vibe reader and if the book makes me feel enough it will most like be 5 ⭐️ ! Obviously I do have a criteria and I do have like regular 5⭐️ and I have like FIVE FUCKING STARS SHINING MORE THEN TIMES SQUARE PLUS 10. 😂 This book to me just closed this series with a golden key. It was a banger ! As I mention before, I’ve been following this series for 2 years, I LOVE ME some MC romance and this series is not super dark, sure it has some of the dark MC elements but in a very light way. This series is more about found family, about big bad broody grumpy muscled tattooed bikers who are not afraid to show love and affection to their women, they are not afraid to let everyone see how DOWN BAD they are for their women and their women can walk them like dogs. They are growly to others but to their women? They are the most delicious men ever ! They are sexy as hell, possessive, protective and lovable. This series is spicy and fun but always with action and delicious romance. And this one was a BANGER to end amazingly. All books besides one in this series I rated high, but few I rated 5⭐️. STELLA was everything I was waiting for and more as a last book. Stella being Harlem the club enforcer’s daughter and Tag’s goddaughter, she had the 2 most feared and growly man right there. She was the first baby of the club so also Cash sees her as a daughter and everyone is very protective of her. So obviously it was never easy for her when she wanted to be Prospect, NONE of the man in the club wanted not only a woman but also Harlem’s beautiful daughter as a biker. She had her work cut out for her, but she was never deterred by all these growly overprotective men. She needed to prove herself and prove herself she did. Cale Callaghan is the Detective of NOPD and he hates the club, the feeling is mutual, we’ve seen him since book 1 so we are very familiar with him. He is HOT HOT HOT like FLAMING HOLLY HELL HOT🔥🔥🔥🔥 Stella is a lucky woman 😂 but obviously their romance ALSO is hard because he is the enemy of the club. This book took twists and turns that I saw it coming because I’m invested in the series but still was explosive and great. I love all the events in the end and how the story was tied all the way to the first book. Also I’ll say here again that Cash is the best MC president in books EVER ! 🖤 Now I am ITCHING for The Nomad Brothers spinoff, I’ve been fantasizing about a book for Brew and one for Haze since they appeared in the series …… awwww….
I cannot believe that this series has finished, from the second I got into this series I was hooked with the characters, the MC and just the amazing plots that Mackenzy would create for each couple. Stella's book has been a long-awaited one,
Stella is Harlem's eldest daughter and is obsessed with the MC and has wanted to join the club for years but there has never been a female club member before then and being Harlem's daughter everyone was hesitant. Although she quickly brought down that stigma in this book and began her life as a prospect for the club.
Now Detective Cale Callaghan is probably the most hated in the police department by the MC, practically trying to take down the MC wherever he can, but he has always had a soft spot and his eyes on Stella and vice versa. Things between them somehow progressed a lot in a short amount of time and the two of them were completely infatuated by each other, but both knew that if they were to get caught they could both lose a lot.
This book was hot, the forbiddenness made it so much better and Detective Cale Callaghan can get it any day of the week. I loved every second of this book, the twists, the turns, and the excitement of it all just kept me engaged with this book. I can't sum up in words how amazing this book is, but I strongly suggest that you read the rest of the series first, you won't regret it and you will understand why characters are the way that they are.
As much as I don’t want this series to end… she definitely saved the best for last!
Ok now hear me out… I LOVED every NOLA Rebel… but there’s just something about Stella!
This FMC is literally a baddie! She holds her own against all of these men! She’s feisty and cocky… and she an absolute sweetheart! So of course she would be the first female prospect!
The MMC is of course a walking talking god… oh and a local detective… who doesn’t have the best relationship with the MC. And he has the cutest furry little work partner!
But you know what they say… opposites attract… and these two are like fire and gasoline!
They’re HOT…like incinerate your panties hot!
And of course this wouldn’t be a NOLA Rebels book without crazy twists and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat!
As much as I don’t want this series to end… it was a phenomenal conclusion!
A MC Romance with a female prospect!? SOLD! I jumped at the chance to read Stella and was thrilled to get an ARC.
"Yes, it’s official. Stella is my little addiction. The emphasis on my, and I won’t be giving her back to the Rebels anytime soon." Cale was down bad for Stella and I was living for it. Welcome to my book boyfriends list Cale, you definitely earned your spot. The way he talked about what he loved about Stella was swoon worthy, plus he speaks a French what a guy!
While this is a standalone, I do wish I had read the other 11 books, just to have a fictional emotional attachment to the characters. Plus it was hard to keep up with everyone, their back stories and partners. I liked this book, and probably would have loved it had I started the series from the beginning.
This was my first Mackenzy Fox book, and she definitely grabbed my attention. I'm looking forward to reading her backlog. The plot, banter and spice was perfectly written. I liked the MCs as well as the side characters. I can tell this series has so many twists and turns, plus character development.
Their banter was hilarious. “Need to search me?” I take a deep breath. “No, Stella, I don’t.”“Pity,” I’m sure I hear her mumble." 😂
I connected to Stella on a personal level. "They don’t see me underneath. The hopeless romantic who believes in love. The girl who would like to find love." I felt this, I got emotional over this line. Stella knew what she wanted and found it in Cale. Their love story was simple in the best way, with a mix of taboo. Even if she did go from virgin to porn star, which usually earns an eye roll from me. But in this case I think it was built up passion, that lead to Stella to explore those fantasies.
The second part of chapter 19 had me rolling with laughter. I love Manny and Stella's friendship. And I'm definitely looking forward to reading about Manny, Lace and Bandit!
The ending was chef's kiss, I imagine it's quite the bombshell for those who have been day one readers. And while I was quick to pick up on the plot twist, I still found it a good full circle moment. 12 books in 2 years is an amazing feat, and if the other 11 books are as good as this one, I'm looking forward to reading this series from the beginning!
Favorite Moment:
"The way he’s gone carnal on me is like something out of one of the romance books I read. Not in real life. He’s so dirty. And if he wants to be the boss in the bedroom? Fine by me." 🥰
Thank you The authors agency for providing me with an ARC of Stella and giving me the opportunity to leave my review.
I have fallen in love with the NOLA Rebels MC and Stella’s book was just the icing on the cake. I loved her determination and fierceness especially since she was the first woman to prospect for the club. Cal was the detection who was looking at every turn to take down the club but Stella was an obstacle that he couldn’t get enough of. Their forbidden romance melted the pages.
If you love your books with that feeling of the forbidden with plenty of chemistry and steam thrown in, this is the book for you. This author did a fantastic job bringing an end to a loved MC series.
I think mentally I checked out at the police brutality. Justified or not, it just didn’t seem like the best choice in today’s culture and climate. It made me dislike the MMC and not trust his true nature. The story itself also fell off pretty quickly after a solid start.
I love this book because Stella is the first female prospect in the Rebels MC. I loved this book so much. I 10/10 recommend this book and the whole series. I’m excited for what is next to come.
Stella book 15 this last book in the series Nola rebels MC New Orleans by mackenzyfox was out of this world i love this book the plot all the twists and turns cale is the men sad that it is now over but there is a special place in my hurt💕💕
This freaking crazy story has my heart and crazy in a very fun way. I loved how Mackenzy has moulded Stella’s story. She’s fierce, confident and knows what she wants. The clarity of things Stella has is perfection. The best thing is the cover of the book, it depicts how beautiful Stella is. That tattoo defines her in so many ways that you can only understand it when you read the book. Must read.
On the other hand, we have Cale, and I got to see a new side of him. So far in this standalone interconnected series, I've seen how anti-MC he was, and how I thought he never understood them or even tried to, but there is a big but: he is not at all the type he came out to be. I adore him in this book, and my perception on things solidifies the adoration for me.
Calli is such a sweet dog, she’s cute and so fun to be around off. I have enjoyed her part very much. The writing is superb, and seeing everyone again was the yummy icing on the cake. Manny is always a darling, soothing everything around and diffusing all the hard situations with his yummy-yummy food. He amazes me every time. This book is a fabulous journey.

Star: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Stella" by Mackenzy Fox is the highly anticipated 15th and final instalment in the NOLA Rebels MC series, a spin-off from the author's popular Bracken Ridge Rebels collection. This book takes readers into the gritty world of the NOLA Rebels, a powerful motorcycle club that rules New Orleans with an iron fist.
At the centre of the story is Stella, the club’s first female prospect. Determined to prove herself in a world dominated by men, she faces constant battles, both with the club and within herself. However, there is one thing that could threaten her place within the Rebels — her secret involvement with Detective Cale Callaghan. Cale, the cop the Rebels love to hate, is everything Stella is warned against, but his presence and the intense connection they share make it impossible to stay away.
Cale knows who Stella is; she's the woman he dreams about, the reason he can’t fully hate the Rebels MC, even though he should. Their relationship is fraught with tension, both personal and professional. The Rebels despise him, and he knows they won’t tolerate his growing feelings for Stella. But despite the danger, their fates seem intertwined. As their pasts collide, everything changes in an instant. Cale’s determination to protect Stella grows stronger, and no matter what happens, he knows that he will always choose her.
The novel brings together a cast of complex characters, from the hard-as-nails bikers who have each other’s backs to the fiercely loyal women who stand beside them. While the men may rule the streets of New Orleans, the women hold their hearts, and this book highlights the strength, loyalty, and fierce love that define the NOLA Rebels MC.
"Stella" is a fitting conclusion to the series, offering a mix of danger, passion, and heart-pounding moments that fans of the genre will appreciate. Though it’s the final chapter in the series, the book can be read as a standalone. With a satisfying HEA (Happily Ever After) ending, it offers a satisfying resolution for those who have followed the Rebels from the start or are just discovering them now.
Recommended for mature readers, this book is a thrilling ride from start to finish, showcasing Mackenzy Fox’s knack for creating engaging, compelling stories set in the world of outlaw bikers and their complex relationships. The journey through Stella and Cale’s emotional and turbulent relationship is a testament to love defying the odds, and the bond that forms between two people, no matter the rules that try to tear them apart.
I can’t believe this was the final installment of the NOLA Rebels MC. It’s bittersweet & exciting at the same time. I’ve been dying for Stella’s story for so long- not just because of Stella herself, but because of Cale! I mean, who doesn’t love a seriously hot, sexy cop? Cale is sexy as sin, & adding Stella w/all her feisty sass made these two absolutely dynamite together. Explosive & oh so sexy. Where do I even begin w/Stella?! She’s a total kick-ass, take-names kind of heroine. She’s smart, sassy, determined, & loyal to the bone. She’s tough enough to hold her own in a man’s world, but what really surprised me was her vulnerability & innocence. That softer side made me love her even more & left me in awe. She truly had it all: sass, feistiness, determination, & a strong will. I loved that she could go f/stilettos & mini skirts to garage overalls & riding boots w/out blinking. She never let the club brothers intimidate her, & the way she could walk into church w/ten brothers staring at her & not cower- I loved it. And when the time came to make Cale beg? Oh, she did. Stella was no pushover & definitely no doormat heroine. I also loved seeing Manny & his famous words of wisdom, & getting Cale’s grandma w/her advice was such a fun touch. This book was truly amazing. Around page 197, the flags started waving, & I had a sneaky suspicion where Mackenzy was heading w/the plot twist, & I loved it! It was perfect. Mackenzy brought the spice, the heat, the drama, & the angst. Holy hell, the angst. By 40%, I couldn’t stop reading. By 50%, I already knew this was my favorite book by her. This is probably the first time I’ve gotten teary eyed seeing a series end. I can’t even express how much I’ve enjoyed each book & every couple, but this ending was truly everything. It’s bittersweet to say goodbye (for now) to these characters, but Mackenzy did a phenomenal job, & I can’t wait to see what she brings us next. I could honestly go on & on about Stella & Cale, but I’ll just say this- this was easily my favorite book by Mackenzy & one of my top favorite couples ever. She couldn’t have written either of them better. Their story was everything, & I hated to see it conclude. This is a book I could reread over & over again & never get tired of.
Stella is the final book in Mackenzy Fox’s NOLA Rebels MC series. I have only read a few in this series but as a lover of strong women, I definitely had to read the one about the female prospect. It can be read as a standalone but there are a lot of characters to track that is easier if you’ve read previous books. Mackenzy has a nice list of characters in the front though which is very helpful.
We’ve met Stella plenty in previous books. Her dad, Harlem, is the Enforcer of the club and she and her brother grew up with the club since their mother left. She’s known for years that she wants to be a member of the club and, at 21, convinces them to let her prospect.
Cale is a detective with the local police precinct. He’s had plenty of run-ins with the Rebels and even though he has looked the other way at times, he’s a good, honest cop. He had a bit of a rough childhood, being raised by his grandparents after his addict mother left him.
There is an underlying attraction between these two but of course they know it’s a bad idea. But as you can imagine, that doesn’t last long before the sparks really fly. Cale and Stella have great chemistry. She’s young and inexperienced but so eager to try new things which was fun to follow along with.
The twists and turns in this one were great! Multiple times, I was surprised by the new info revealed. I will admit, I’m horrible at remembering names and such so maybe we had clues about things in the past but for me, I had no idea what the outcome was going to be.
I really enjoyed Stella as a character. She is young but wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted. She is very loyal, somehow to both Cale and the MC and I never felt like that was compromised at all. As I mentioned above, I love strong female leads and she’s definitely that.
Their happy ending is hard earned but so good. It was good to see some past characters happy as well.
What a great way to end this NOLA Rebels MC by giving us the book that I've been waiting for since we were introduced to Stella and she told everyone she wanted to prospect and join the MC. To make this book better, she was better with none other than Detective Cale Callahan, who, by far, is my favorite MMC in this series.
Mackenzy has once again given us yet another book with characters and a plot to hook us all and leave us wanting so much more! I love anything and everything she writes, and this is one of them!
Stella, being the first female prospect/female member, was bad*ss, and she is so strong and doesn't take crap from anyone, which makes her such a strong fmc.
Cale Callahan is such a hot and bad*ss MMC that just doesn't take crap from anyone, which makes him such a good character. He's good at what he does despite being hated by the MC that Stella is a part of. Despite being hated, he still loves and cares about Stella so much that he has a definite soft spot for her.
The forbidden love trope/aspect of this book at me on the edge of my seat, just waiting to see what was going to happen between Stella and Cale because of word getting out that they were involved and had strong feelings for one another, all hell would break loose within the MC and the police department. The whole book had plenty of plot and left me wanting so much more that I couldn't put it down until I had read it from beginning to end. The chemistry between the two was perfect, and you could just tell that everything between them was going to work out in the end💙
I recommend this book and this whole series in general. It is written so well, and each book will have you falling in love with every character!
First off I want to congratulate Mackenzy on an amazing series! 15 must-read books!
What a way to end a mouth watering series! Stella is the 15th and final book in the NOLA Rebels MC Series. I couldn't wait for Stella and Cale story. It was all I wanted and more for them.
Stella is Harlem's daughter and the 1st female prospect. She is a firecracker, independent, a fighter and will put any man to shame. She has a mouth and a bratty attitude. She is drop dead gorgeous and has a big heart. Stella is out to prove that she can handle any dirty job the club throws at her better than any male prospect could. She does and goes after what she wants. Stella wants Cale.
Cale is not a fan of the MC, but he has eyes on the clubs enforcer's daughter, Stella. She is younger, innocent, forbidden, fiery and bratty. He needs her in every way. Caleb is an officer/detective and he and the MC hates each other, but when it comes down to it, Cale has shown up for the club more than once.
Cale starts receiving weird packages that leads to his past catching up and who his real father is. With all this going on, the only woman he wants by his side and in his bed is Stella.
The twist in this one! I had a feeling and still I was grasping the pages! It was perfect! I loved every scene. My favorite couple by far! I'm definitely throwing out more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ towards this one!
Cale might seem like he is the good guy, but when he gets Stella in his bed Cale is all but good. He is a bit of a dom, who loves to be in control and she submits in every way for him. Mackenzy knows how to write a spicy scene 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 That twist, the ending, the cover of the book and the couple... Mackenzy you deserve a standing ovation👏
Tropes: 🏍️ MC (motorcycle) romance 🩷 Female prospect vs the hot cop 🏍️ Virgin FMC 🩷 Sneaking around with the enemy 🏍️ Different worlds collide 🩷 Tattooed hero
I’m going to miss this series so much. 😭 I can’t believe this is the last book in the series. Makes me so sad. 🙁
This group of bikers and their ol’ ladies have kept me entertained and given me so much joy so I’m definitely going to miss the Nola Rebels MC world that Mackenzy Fox has created. The way she brings the characters to life makes you feel as if you’re right there with them living their lives.
This last book in the series involves Stella, daughter of Harlem, who is the Enforcer in the NOLA Rebels MC. She wants to join the MC and become a prospect but her dad is not happy with that. She finally convinces the club to let her prospect and has to prove herself. She has feelings for the local cop, Cale, who the MC hate and can’t stand whenever he comes snooping around their clubhouse. Their romance is definitely forbidden and Stella knows her dad would not approve but the heart wants what the heart wants.
As always, the MC keeps us on the edge of our seats with unexpected twists and turns as outside forces threaten their club and their women and the suspense is so good. The spice is hot and I can’t get enough of the chemistry between Stella and Cale.
This was such a great book to end the series and I really enjoyed it.
If you haven’t read MC romance before, I would definitely recommend reading one of Mackenzy Fox’s series. Her first series Bracken Ridge has 12 books and this series - the NOLA Rebels - has 15 books.
“Stella” is the 15th and final book in the NOLA Rebels MC series, and it provides a fantastic conclusion to the series. It definitely did not disappoint, especially with the characters Stella and Cal. Although I came into the series towards the end, I found myself truly enjoying it as each book can be read as a standalone.
Stella grew up in the club and has always wanted to prospect and join the MC, aiming to be the first female member. Detective Cale has always had a complicated relationship with the MC; he wants to take them down, but has never succeeded in doing so. However, he has always noticed Stella and liked her too. Before they know it, they find themselves hiding their relationship from the MC, all while falling deeper in love with each other every day.
The author has done an amazing job of bringing the characters to life, making them realistic, relatable, and likable—not just the main characters but also the supporting cast. The mystery, suspense, and unexpected plot twists hooked me from the very beginning, making it impossible to put the book down until I discovered how it ended.
Oh my gosh, the slow-burning romance between Stella and Cale was perfection. The tension building up to those intense moments had me so invested! And Cale’s protectiveness over Stella? Just melts my heart! Their willingness to fight for each other proves that true love conquers all.
What an incredible finale to this series! Now that it’s all wrapped up, I’m super excited to go back and explore the earlier books I missed! Happy reading!

Stella is the 15th and final book in the NOLA Rebels MC series. This age gap, forbidden romance features Stella Theriot and Detective Cale Callaghan.
As the daughter of the Rebel's enforcer, Harlem, Stella is all too familiar with the life in the MC. The members of the club are like her family. She wants to join however she will be the first ever female member. While they are reluctant knowing the dangers involved, Stella makes her case and they allow her to prospect.
Detective Cale Callaghan believes in the law and does not condone vigilante justice. While he can admit that the club has done some good for the community, they are far from law abiding citizens. He wants to bring them down and is therefore persona non grata for most of the club. Stella, however, is very attracted to the detective and the two play nicely together. Cale would love to be with Stella but he knows that can never happen. For one, she's too young for him, and for another, she's forever connected to the MC.
Stella believes in getting what she wants, and what she wants is Cale. She doesn't have to push too hard though to get Cale to fall. The two are mutually smitten and well aware of the risk, but they're determined to keep their connection private. Best laid plans...
I loved Stella's character. She is bright, determined, hard working, and delightfully sassy. Her chemistry with Cale is intense. They go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye, and they know they're playing with fire. The question is... will they get burned?
This was a fun read. I knew I wanted to read Stella's story as I love a strong female character, but this book included some unexpected twists and turns rendering the story even more enjoyable. I've only read a couple of books from this series but they were both great; I hope to explore the rest of the series. If you like to read MC romance stories, I would encourage you to check it out this series. It is a lot of fun.
As always Mackenzy Fox just wrote another AMAZING work of art & im again thankful to have been able to read this story. I'm sad it's the end of this WONDERFUL MC CLUB OF THE NOLA REBELS but it's been an amazing journey but with Mackenzys wonderful writing I feel like I have another extended family as I have LOVED each character throughout. Stella is the first female to join the club as an official member and it's well deserved as she grew up in the club & she makes she the guys know that she deserves it to & she don't take nobody's shi+ either when they try to tell her it's not a thing for a woman she sets to prove em wrong. She's a woman not to mess with or stand in her way. Then we have detective Cale whose been a thorn in the MCs side for sometime all the while for a few years he & Stella have been flirting with each other and decided they can't and dont want to to just keep flirting 😉 & when the detective uncovers a special clue about his beautiful Stella he's even more determined to make her his Princess & who knew what a Naughty Detective he could be 🥵 cause until this book i definitely not team Cale but then this book made me say HELLO DADDY CALE 🤭, but unfortunately they had to keep things undercover until Cale uncovers a HUGE secret part of his own life that blows things wide open but to find out what happens READ THIS AWESOME BOOK TODAY
Yum! That was so freaking hot and yummy! But first, let's appreciate the cover. Damn! She is so hot. What a refreshing cover in the sea of half-naked men covers!
I expected nothing from this book since this is the last book of 15 books-long series. I thought I would be completely clueless with the story and many characters from other previous books. I was wrong. I didn't feel left out at all. This book is completely standalone, at least for me. But I wish I read previous books beforehand so I could get full experience and bonding with other characters. I didn't feel overwhelmed with many names mentioned, instead I think I have a new mission to read other books in this series because they intrigued me already.
Stella and Cale were so hot with each other. The author said this is steamy MC book, and indeed it was. So steamy my eReader was fogging the whole time.
Stella was strong heroine. She said many times that she was not too young, but often her actions were showing that she was indeed young. It didn’t bother me because Stella was easy to like. She was loveable and smart. Cale, tho. He was almost perfect. I have no complaints about him. But my personal favorite was Calli. What a good girl!
While this book heavy on romance side of the story, the motorcycle club related plot twists were also so good. I predicted one of them right and the rest succeeded to put me on edge. I loved the balance in this book.
Thank you to Mackenzy Fox and The Author Agency for the ARC.
I am not ready to say goodbye to the NOLA Rebels, but OMG Mackenzy, this last book was "Stellar" (see what I did there)! Absolutely loved this pairing of Stella and Cale, it had everything I love about the MC books that you write. And, Stella, what a powerhouse. This book perfectly tied up some of the questions scattered throughout this series (one I kinda saw coming and was damn happy about it) and showed us that despite the opposites, these two are perfect. As NOLA's first female prospect, and with a grumpy dad and growly godfather (and their own two books were amazing) the fact that Cale, who has been the annoying person on the periphery, Stella and Cale were always going to fight what had been there all along. It was always going to be difficult, as those pasts threaten to break them, but with Cale's grumpy, he wants Stella no matter what, and Stella, although loyal to the NOLA Rebels, wanting to prove her worth as a prospect, but wanting Cale, these two throw everything on the line. Throw in Callie, Cale's dog (*swoon) and I literally ATE THIS BOOK UP!! Afriggenmazing, amazing. Yes this can be read as a standalone, but, to get the full back story to characters whose stories are also concluded in this book, reading the whole series I highly recommend. I am glad I have read the majority of this series, I am definitely in my MC era.
↓↓ I cant believe this is the last one in the series, and we have to say goodbye to the NOLA Rebels. Stella was the perfect conclusion to the series and dare I say, Cale, is one of my fave MC's of the series.
I loved, loved, LOVED Stella so much!! She is so feisty and such a badass. She keeps everyone on their toes but especially Cale. Stella and Cale, they may be from different worlds but they fit together so perfectly.
Cale, whew that man, he was perfect. The push and pull, the tension, their passion. It was explosive. I love how when it came down to it, he would do anything and everything for Stella.
I will say that about half way through, things begin to line up for me on the twist but goodness I was not prepared for the amount of twist and turns the story would take to finally unveil the ultimate jaw dropping moment. I was not prepared for what was revealed but I was pleasantly surprised and happy for Cale.
I love that we had cameos from so many of my faves from this series. So sad this series is over but this book wrapped it all up perfectly.

What a way to.end the series and they so a full circle and come back to Cash. There’s 15 books in this series and every single was different. I've loved them all but I have been waiting for Stella's story. We have watched Stella grow up throughout the series and we always knew something will eventually happen with Cale Callaghan the Detective the MC despise openly. Loved learning more about him. He is the ultimate good guy with a d1rty mouth in the bedroom. Stella! My gosh what a woman. Strong, sassy, smart, caring and determined. She has always loved the Rebel MC. Now she wants to break the tradition and become a member of the club. I loved her strength in fighting for her spot as a prospect. The chemistry between her and Cale was burning. Despite the resistance from him Stella breaks through. Slow burn as it take him a while to give in to her. Loved their journey once he gave in, yet it has to be a secret. Their lives are opposite and the MC's won't like it. Things going great until his past and her present clash. Someone is sending cryptic parcels. Great action, some drama, bit of suspense, found family and love. And those steamy scenes were written perfectly. Can't wait for more from the MC chapters and I'm hoping the Nomads brothers get their stories.
This was my favorite book of the series! Stella is a feisty and determined woman who’s willing to sacrifice everything to pledge her loyalty to a group full of rough and intense men. She never takes no for an answer, refuses to bow to anyone, and does not like being told what to do - until she meets Cale. Her world turns upside down when she begins to fall in love with the enemy.
Cale - a local police officer who has a vendetta for the MC has been in love with Stella since they met in Pipes. When he realizes that she has become a prospect for the MC, all his emotions begin to surface. He hates seeing her getting involved in something that could potentially cause her to get arrested but knows how much the club means to her. As they grow closer and tensions begin to rise, their connection gets intense and hot real quick. Their relationship and how they acted towards each other was off the charts fiery. Cale has a dirty mouth that matches perfectly with Stella’s sassy attitude.
There was elements of mystery, suspense, spice, drama all mixed together. I was extremely shocked about the ending because I never would have guessed any of it. Also, I think the way this book ended was wrote in a way that tied the entire series together perfectly. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Stella is book fifteen of the NOLA Rebels MC Series.
Stella has been living and breathing the club for her whole life and wants a change to fully embrace the life and become a prospect. Even with some resistance from some people (her father), she does get her wish to be a prospect. But with this comes the knowledge that she has to stay away from the police. Easier said than done, when the one person she is fully interested in is Detective Cale Callaghan. She has to figure out what is most important to her, the club or her heart.
Some secrets get revealed in this one about Cale and we get to see who he truly is. We see the kind of person he is with every interaction with those he meets along the way. He is a caring individual and just wants to help those in need. Cale does struggle with how he feels about Stella and ends up putting his foot in his mouth a few times. However, when it comes time he does stand up for how he is feeling and stands with Stella.
By the end of this one, any questions you might have had form previous books get answered. As this is the last book in the series, all of the storylines are resolved and we are left with a satisfying conclusion.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the story of Stella and and Cale. Her father is Harlem and she is his oldest daughter. To say she is obsessed with he club is an understatement. She would pledge and be a member in a hot minute if they were to ever accept women as club members. However, she is more than determined and soon, while some members didn't really like it, she is now a prospect for the club. Cale is a detective and the most hated member of the local PD by the NOLA Rebels. He is always trying to take them down. However, he has always had a thing for Stella and she for him. Things with these two don't progress slowly. They are going a thousand miles an hour and soon are obsessed with each other. However, their relationship can never be found out, trouble doesn't even begin to explain the mess they would be in. That's about all I can tell you about this Tory. It is spicy. Forbidden. Filled with twists and turns you won't see coming. And, it is one that you do not want to miss. I have loved every book in this series that I have read. It is a book you do not want to miss.
Stella by Mackenzy Fox was the perfect finale to the NOLA Rebels MC series and definitely my favorite of them all. From the moment Stella first declared she wanted to prospect I knew her story would be epic and it did not disappoint. As the Rebels’ first female prospect, Stella proved she could hold her own in a world run by men while staying true to her heart. Fierce, loyal, and just the right amount of sassy, she was everything I wanted her to be.
And then there is Cale. The detective who is supposed to hate the Rebels but cannot resist Harlem’s daughter. Their romance was the ultimate forbidden temptation, intense, fiery, and unbelievably hot. The way he saw her melted me: “Yes, it’s official. Stella is my little addiction. The emphasis on my, and I won’t be giving her back to the Rebels anytime soon.” 🥵
This book had it all with banter, twists, suspense, steam, and a love story that felt inevitable despite the odds. I laughed, swooned, and even teared up. Saying goodbye to the Rebels makes me so sad, but Stella and Cale’s story was the perfect sendoff.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 #gifted #ARC I really enjoyed this final installment of the NOLA Rebels series. I have been eagerly awaiting Stella’s story and the author absolutely delivered.
THOUGHTS 💭 🏍️ Stella is an amazing FMC - I couldn’t get enough of her sass and determination. 🏍️ Seeing all of the NOLA Rebel MC members in this final installment as they’re living out their HEAs was perfection. The Rebels are such a great found family! 🏍️ We love a protective, possessive MMC. 🫠 The age gap, plus the detective/MC prospect, makes this romance feel forbidden - they shouldn’t want each other, but they’re can’t stay away. 🏍️ This book features one final showdown where the MC has to circle the wagons and protect their own. There are some fun twists and turns towards the end of this book that I loved! Though it’s amazing to see our favorite characters from past books, this can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. 🏍️ The spice is hot and forbidden and next-level. With Stella being a v!rg!n at the start of this book, there’s this primal “mine” attitude that Cale has that wouldn’t work in real life, but works SO well in books. 🏍️ I love a pet sidekick. Cale’s police dog, Calli, is a sweet addition to this read.
Thanks so much to Mackenzy Fox and The Author Agency for the ARC of this book!
This book is the last one in Mackenzy’s NOLA Rebels MC Series and i was not ready.
Stella is the daughter of the rebels enforcer Harlem (book 4) she has been in all the books, growing up, being friends with the fmc’s, working in the bodyshop under Tag’s protection and now she is fighting for her own HEA as the first female prospect in the club while also fighting her feelings towards the one and only. Speaking of him, we know him well, or so we thought.! We have also meet detective Cale Callaghan throughout this series, also showing up when he is not needed and being a pain in the rear end for the club. These two have been dancing around for a long long time, and now we finally get their story.
This story is the absolute perfect ending to this series, these two are so sweet and compliment each other personalities perfectly. Them sneaking around is hilarious, exciting and burning so hot the building is on fire (not literally) but wow. These two is having to fight for their love and to stay together and it is just perfectly written. Absolutely amazing ♥️🩷
This was such a great ending to one of my favorite MC series. I have loved every book, and I am so sad it's over. 😭😭 Cale and Stella have been hinted at in past books and their pairing was perfect. Cale has hated the MC from the beginning and Stella is the first female prospect of the MC, but they just couldn't deny their feelings for each other. Cale was down SO bad for Stella. I loved it!! I slowly started figuring out that Cale twist about halfway through the book and felt like it brought everything full circle from book 1. Stella was fiesty and a badass and took no crap from anyone. The banter in this book was so good, just like all the past books. I just love the Rebels so much. That last 20% had me feeling all the emotions, and I'm not ready to say goodbye to this series. 😭😭 I'm going to have to reread from start to finish. Im excited to see where Mackenzy goes from here.
