To be a manny who swoops in, saves the day and then swoops out before dealings grow to deep...or at least that had always been his plan...
Omega manny Sebastian loves his job. He helps the families who need him most from sets of triplets to suddenly single parents to micro-preemies. His training as a nurse gives him skills most mannies don't have, making him one of Manny's top employees. He goes in during times of great need and moves on when they no longer need his help. It works for everyone.
That is, until now.
Alpha Walker is struggling. He never planned to be a single father. Who plans for their mate to die in childbirth? Walker is strong--stronger than he knows. Only he doesn't feel strong. His son is about to have surgery, surgery that could be life altering, surgery that could be the difference between life with a walker and in a chair and one on two feet. His recovery will require more care than Walker can give. While in-home health care will be an option, Walker wants better for his son than rotating nurses, so when he sees an ad for Manny's Mannies, he calls on a whim.
Manny's got him covered. He has an employee with the perfect background and skills. He neglected to mention that he was hot, sweet, and lickable. Not that Walker would lick him. That wouldn't be right. Unless he asked. Then he could be persuaded.
And Sebastian so very much wants to ask. He has always been able to keep his heart sheltered and his emotions intact while working, but, with Walker, it grows exponentially more difficult with each passing day. Walker is everything Sebastian didn't even know he wanted in an alpha and so much more. But work was work...or was it?
His Miracle Manny is the sixth book in the popular Manny's Mannies series and is a super-sweet with knotty heat M/M non-shifter Mpreg romance that can stand alone. It features a hot manny with skillful hands, a widowed alpha who deserves to love again, and a little boy who refuses to give up and only hears the positive.

An ARC was provided free in return for an honest review. 3 stars.
Omega Nanny Sebastian decides he needs to move on to a new home and finds placement with widower Alpha Walker and his disabled son, Graham. Graham has to have surgery, and Walker reads that having an extra hand around the house would be a good idea so he hires Sebastian. There is instant attraction, but, of course, they curb their desires because Graham needs to come first. Once he is better...
This story, while I liked the overall storyline, needed a much firmer editing hand than what it was given. Okay, yeah, it's an ARC, but even ARC's need to be at the one step before publishing before you hand them out. So the question is, what did the actual buyer received? My copy had a ton of stilted writing. There weren't enough conjunctions to save it. Several errors in regards to punctuation in particular missing end periods and a few extra letters thrown in as well. I also was immediately turned off by the repetitive thought processes (more so by Sebastian, the omega nanny, than alpha Walker the dad, but even he had a few sections that made me roll my eyes in exasperation). And can I tell you how much I hate when there's title substitution instead of names. By this I mean, if you don't start off called the person Omega, then why start just during sex?
This book packed a whole lot into a few pages making it feel rushed. Hello? Check this out if you want to see just how much summed up in one tiny paragraph. Talk about packing it all into one book.
The ending, too, I found rushed without a gentle lead in or out. Here ya go, Son, insta-family.
This isn't my first Lorelei book, and I pretty much got what I expected out of it. I'm seeing no advancement in writing skill, which is unfortunate as one should always try to take away and improve with every project they personally handle.
. . . É uma leitura F(. . .), desculpe pela palavra, eu amei 🖤. . . Amei!

Mas sua chegada trás mais luz e alegria, e um grande apoio, e o amor vem e ganha o coração das pessoas a sua volta e floresce em duas lindas pessoinhas. 🥰🤭 que venha o próximo livro. . . Boa Leitura 😘
Manny agrees to Hell's dad with his child who needs multiple surgeries. Walker is going out of his mind trying to deal with a job and Graham's surgeries. Together they handle it all. This one needs more back story.
His Miracle Nanny was my first story by Lorelei M. Hart and I really liked it. The story is about omega Sebastian who works as a nanny and Alpha Walker who needs a nanny. The story was well written and I really liked the characters.
I want to be upfront about the fact that this was a 4-star read for me, but the errors were just atrocious... you name it and it was wrong in this book. I wish authors would take more pride in their work. They put their heart and soul into it and then throw it all away by not taking a few hours and properly proofreading the wonderful words they have written... grrr
This series brought me a lot of joy and a few tears along the way, but unfortunately, every single book was plagued with grammatical errors... over and over again. I think I will make a note to myself that perhaps this author isn't for me. I want to read books by authors that understand that as readers we appreciate the time and effort that goes into a well-written and properly edited story. I understand that many MM authors self-publish, and I stand behind them 100% in their efforts. But, please, consider going that extra mile and putting out the best work that is possible, we as readers would greatly appreciate it. :D
I absolutely adored this book! Loved the family dynamics and the special needs child with the sassy attitude!
Character breakdown;
Walker: always give credit to those who stick by and take care of their kids while grieving the loss of their spouse, even in fiction. I liked how silly he seemed yet serious with his kid and I liked that he did his research on everything. The worry wort was a real thing!
Sebastian: I adored him, I loved how he easily assessed things and helped bring out the best in both Walker and Graham it was a lovely dynamic!
This book was a feel good kind of book, with a bit of emotions and wholesome moments and quite a few laughters. I had a blast reading it! 8/10 ⭐️ recommend!
I really liked this book because it focused on a boy that had a birth defect. Surgery was somewhat right after birth but after seven years , he has to under go a more complex surgery. His dad is more scared than he is but thanks to a well trained manny, his dad as well as himself, can see the future.
I really liked this story and would have given it 4*s but for the lack of a final proofread. It would have picked up on Walker becoming Rob, the lack of noun capitalisation, incomplete sentences and poor Lavender being forgotten in the Epilogue.
This really moved me because I can relate to Graham I went through major surgery a few times so that really got to me. They are such an amazing family. A must read.
Could have done with a bit more editing but it didn't distract from the story. Graham and Walker invited Sebastian into their lives with open arms and it was a delight to see. Felt the end was a little rushed
This offering in the Manny's Mannies series, is a nice likeable read with very little angst, Alpha Walker and his son Graham need a special manny to help them cope when Graham has surgery, they get the brilliant Sebastian who makes everything easier.
To my ratings: A 3,5* is clicked with a 4* but in review marked as 3,5*:
5* - very very good and rare (it would be a Blow-Away-book like ‘Jesse's Smile’ or ‘Joey’ from Angelique Jurd, ‘Save the the kids’ series from EM Leya, ‘Love’s Tethered Heart’ from C.L. Etta or ‘Liberty’ from Seth King), it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often reread and is a WOW-book with interesting plot and surprises (like most of Andrew Grey books and Davidson Kings 'Haven Hart'-series) it's like an A
3,5* - a really good book, which will be reread a few times (most romances where you can enjoy for relaxing and during waiting times in hospitals). I can recommend them definitively! It's like an B+
3* - it could be more then a one-time-reader (2-3 times a year), it's like a B
2* - it was ok to read, but it's more a one-time-reader (I wouldn't recommend it heartily, but it was ok) It's like a C-, D
1* - sorry, but that isn't really a book for me (too many mistakes, not nice plot, illogical, so an absolute NO-GO). It's like failure in the whole line, dismissed, repeat the class
Suffer the little children. Sebastian leaving his latest family, feeling nostalgic but happy. We revisit Enzo, Charlie and RJ and all the new additions. Then he meets Walker a widow, missing his Omega, Harrison. Graham, who has been in pain for all of his 7 years is probably the bravest little boy ever. You suffer with him and you love him for his bravery and his intestinal fortitude. Sebastian felt an instant attraction to Walker when he first saw him, but he recognized his committment was to Graham's health and recovery. Walker, spent his life being strong for Graham, so Sebastian was strong for him. Will the medical staff be able to help Graham? Can Sebastian be strong for Walker? The journey watching a child suffer but with a smile is difficult, but you are with the family until they get to the other side. Good story. Suffering with a young person, makes you more appreciative when falling in love. Written with sensitivity, love and joy. I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is an intense, romantic and sweet story. Walker is a widower with a special needs child, Graham, who is scheduled for an operation that will require many follow up appointments, so he hires a manny to help with transportation, and general care. Sebastian is a manny with a nursing degree, so he mainly mannies for families with special situations, so he was recommended for Walker. Walker is a dedicated, protective and caring man who is feeling overwhelmed. When Walker opened the door for Sebastian, they both thought the same thing. He wasn't supposed to be hot. They manage to keep things mostly professional for a while, but one night things changed. Neither was willing to start anything right then, because Walker was Sebastian's employer, and Sebastian would leave when he wasn't needed anymore. Graham going in to his surgery is gut wrenching but very sweet. I loved the storyline and the characters. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
Wow what a beautiful story this was, honestly i love this authors books but this one is exceptionally good. And you cant help but have a tear or two in your eyes as you read this story, of one young man (Graham) who has spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, he is going to have procedures done to help him. His dad Walker (and Alpha) is doing his best to look after his son, but he had to face facts, he needed help. And that came in form of a Manny called Sebastian, who when he walked in the door was right at home looking after his charge. But in Sebastians eyes his Walker is hot but wont do anything about it, seen as he is his employer. But one night they have a night off and Walker kisses Sebastian, after that one night of a stolen kiss or two, the men cant wait to have time together again. A beautiful love story
I highly recommend this book, to the people who just love to read Mpreg stories with smexy men
For the record, I received an Advanced Review Copy (ARC) of this book with the request that I leave a voluntary honest review for other potential readers. Having said that, here is my honest opinion and review of this book. Such a cute romantic plot line. Sebastian puts his Nursing and Manny training to good use, but is that all he needs. Walker does his utmost to take care of Graham as a single father, but maybe he needs more. This is a good premise for this sweet romance story. We have excellent world building and character development with a lot of interesting details not to mention the various troubles that pop up. There are plenty of little surprises in this story too. The writing style is good and easy to read while the pace flows along nicely from start to finish. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was time well spent. This is the second book in this series that I have read and I look forward to reading the rest.
I wish I could officially give this 3.5 stars. The storyline is good, just like we’ve come to expect from this series. Unfortunately, there are a lot of editing issues that leaves the reader having to bridge gaps to continue in the story. I am not certain the final edited version was uploaded. Some name confusion but also a few times where the chapter ended in a way that led it to seem there was something happening...but it was not discussed in the next. I am hopeful that the author might see this review and double check that the final edited version was the one uploaded.
It is a good story and a sweet family. I have enjoyed this series a great deal. I feel bad about giving it a lower rating but I feel the need to be honest with my fellow readers.
This book is my favorite so far from Lorelei M. Hart. There was plenty of emotion and a slow burn romance between Walker and Sebastian. The characters interacted a lot with each other before they contemplated taking things to the next level so I could see them growing as a couple before they even were together. The characters, including Walker's son, dealt proactively with their issues and worked as a team to find solutions. I think Sebastian was a great influence in the household as he had fresh eyes and a new outlook while Walker had been getting weighed down by Graham's disability. The book is free of any fighting or even arguments between the heroes which led to an overall positive reading experience for me.

4.5 stars
This was my favorite of the series. I loved the flow of the story and the family was so adorable. The little boy, Graham, was in the story enough to be a full character, but not so much he overshadowed the relationship between Walker and Sebastian. I liked the pacing of the relationship between Walker and Sebastian, it didn't feel rushed and they didn't have the typical "you're hot" and jump into bed scenario. There was more time for them to come together, not just as a couple but as a family. Even with the seriousness of Graham's condition the story was more on the sweet/fluffy side and made for a quick enjoyable read.
A really sweet, enjoyable slow-burn Mpreg romance with a well-pace plot that is somewhat emotional & quite entertaining with well-developed, interesting characters. There is: a widowed alpha (Walker) with a disabled son (Graham) who needs surgery & in desperation he phones Manny’s Mannies & gets a male omega manny (Sebastian) who turns out to be exactly what he wants & needs, some twists, mild drama, heartache, memories, discovery, strange attractions, longings, medical procedures, worry, friendship, verbal banter, commitment, surprises, happiness, love, some steam, contentment & heartwarming conclusion.
Walker is a widowed alpha. His omega died giving birth, and the baby boy developed spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Now, at age 7, he suffers a lot, but could be much better, if he were operated on... To handle the additional stress, he hires a manny with a nursing background. Falling for the manny had not been part of the plan, but the manny becomes part of the family in no time... A typical story for Ms. Hart, describing not only the coming together, but also the overcoming of issues in the past - here the fear of childbirth. A lovely story, well-written and really enjoyable.

I am so in love with this series and always look forward to the next book. This is book 6 of the series but it can be read as a stand alone.
Contains great characters, and awesome story line, fantastic detailed descriptions and engaging dialogue. Written as a 1st person multi pov with a HEA.
Would I recommend this book? Yes

His Miracle Manny is the sixth book in the Manny's Mannies series by Lorelei M. Hart. This contemporary mpreg romance had me smiling and loving every moment.
Sebastian and Walker are fantastic characters. Their story is fun, sweet and sexy. And little Hraham is adorable! I enjoyed this book and thought it fit well with the test of the series.
Sebastian is always the manny, never the daddy. His nursing skills make him the perfect manny for Walker and little Graham. Walker is such a strong man, even though he doesn't see himself that way. I liked that both men don't try to baby Graham because of his C.P. but encourage him to be a kid. The story is super low angst but full of sweet moments.
This one was just ok for me. It was cute and sweet. But it had trouble holding my attention. Normally, I finish a book a few hours after I start. This one I kept putting down cause it wasnt keeping me invested, I didnt feel the MC's connection as much as I normally do with this author. So, that's my two cents on this one, it was just okay.
I am so happy for this coup!e. Having everything playing against them in the beginning it's just sad. Poor little Graham having to go through all the pain of his illness and surgeries. He is one tough cookie and he gets his dad a rolling towards their omega. Can't wait for the next book.
