Nectario "Rio" Hood When she asked me if I liked them thick, I didn’t know she was talking about an actual milkshake. I didn’t make it any better either when I went on a rant about how much I love cake. Now, she thinks I can’t hold a conversation that doesn’t revolve around food. I mean, I do like to eat. And if she lets me, I’ll show her exactly how I like my sweets.
Yet, she’s not picking up what I’m putting down, despite all my homeboy charm. All I need is one week to prove to her that while some dessert is best served cold, I like mine extra hot.
The Hoods love celebrating, however, they don’t celebrate your average holidays. A kinky holiday is the only season they know and for these cousins, nothing naughty is off the table when they set their eyes on the right woman. Get ready! Naughty Season is upon us.

Not Sherelle had me googling “Hyperosmia” 😭😂 what a condition to have there Rio! 🤭🤭 Nectario (Rio) was something I would like to try and I’d give him all the sweets he could eat! 😆 This book starts with Rio looking to meet with a new baker Nessy recommended at 3 am (mind you🤭). Their first encounter had me cackling! Especially when he realized Kinneth wasn’t a man but a girl lmao! That first meeting to go over treats for the event was whew 😮💨. All the innuendos made me blush! And to top off this early-ass meeting her FIANCÉ Terron had the nerve to interrupt and know Rio 😩. Let’s just say Rio didn’t give a damn just like The Hood man he was! This love story was all about knowing your worth and getting what you desired because Rio gave Kinny that and more! Rio even having the nickname Sweet Tooth at Lush made this even better! I won’t spoil everything but skinny getting her lick back and enjoying a man like Rio anyway she wanted while getting hyped up from bestie Lyric was everything! I think that what I enjoy most from this book and series is the women getting to live out their wildest fantasies with men who want to cherish them. Even if the fantasies push boundaries it doesn’t matter it’s going to get fulfilled in every way and possibly more than one taker 😆!
I loved seeing all the cousins and familiar characters from this world! But I will say Alejandro piqued my interest and the way Lyric shot down him being an option also piqued my interest! 👀👀 I’m excited to see what Sherelle has in store next for these cousins!
Few more things to note about this book: Younger Man/Older Female He's a sneaker designer/Tattoo Artist/ Lust worker 😈 She's a financial advisor turned baker Nerd Love 🤓❤️ Trash Fiance 🥴 A lot of eating (groceries and lots of sweets include 😜😉🤭🔥) A few heated moments at Lush 👁🔥 A true red wave in that bonus scene 🔥🤭
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Sinfully Sweet Confessions is the latest book in the Black Lush (Naughty Season) series. Nectario “Rio” Hood designs custom made sneakers, he’s a tattoo artist, and one of the featured “Hoods” at Lush. Kinneth “Kinny” Blossom has a passion of baking.
Once Rio and Kinny get past being annoyed and see each other for the first time, something clicks right away. Rio is drawn in by her deep brown eyes. They were soulful and he felt like she could uncover all his secrets. He didn’t waste anytime expressing what he wanted to taste; something sweet that wasn’t on the menu! Kinny couldn’t help but flirt with Rio. There was so much to be attracted to, like his deep coffee colored skin and strong jawline. He was muscular, but was kind and made her feel warm and cozy. Rio offered Kinney a proposition she couldn’t refuse.
Ms. Green continues to push the envelope with the Black Lush series and Sinfully Sweet Confessions is naughty with a capital “N”. She also adds something different. Rio has a unique attribute/obsession that makes his attraction to Kinny even stronger. This intrigued me and had looking in my dictionary.The chapter titles were unique and made me crave something sweet. Supporting characters that were featured in prior books rounds out the story. I highly recommend Sinfully Sweet Confessions. See complete review at Romanceincolor.com.
I started reading this book as soon as I got it and couldn't put it down. Rio was a whole mess right out of the gate. He started talking slick as soon as he met Kinny. He wanted her and he pursued her until he was able to taste her cakes, milkshakes and her in every way possible with his nasty self. I loved the way that they vibed in the beginning and as a couple once they got together. Rio was the right man for Kinny and he showed that from the start. Unlike that trifling fiance she got rid of, Rio was supportive of Kinny's dreams and ambitions. Rio is definitely my favorite Hood so far and I can't wait for him to pop up in other books because he deserves several cameos. 😊
Just when I thought the Hoods couldn’t get nastier here comes Sherelle Grren with her pen and prove me wrong! This here story is not made for prudes so if that’s ya time run the other because sis definitely wrong the adult movie in the best romantic form ;p. Rio and his baker Bae from love and in the words of Robert himself the greatest sex they’ll every need. The jaw dropping moments in this story were almost some of my favorites! I definitely enjoy celebrating these Naughty Holidays. I can’t wait to see who’s next hopefully it’s Alessandro!
This author's imagination is out of this world. She had me hitting up Google a few times, had me humming a tune to a favorite song of mine AND collecting recipes!
All that aside, Rio and Kinny were such a fun couple to meet. There's nothing like meeting a man who knows what/who he wants and will not accept any excuses. Add in applying pressure to lower all inhibitions and you've hit the jackpot! Every fantasy of Kinny's was fulfilled. Even the one's she didn't know she had.
My final takeaway from this story: I'm happy Kinny discovered who she was and deserved so much more than she ever received.
This book was nasty and naught with a capital N and I loved it. That bonus scene showed just how nasty Rio was. Rio and Kinny were so cute together and they fit so well together from their interest in sweets to their interests in anime to their interests in food, they just fit and were a perfect match. Now I’m ready to see what or which Hood comes next for this series and which naughty holiday will be their favorite. I highly recommend this book and the others in this series but be prepared for plenty of naughty and nasty scenes that will leave you looking for somebody to recreate the scenes with.
Sinfully Sweet Confessions ARC was given to me for an honest review.
This book is not for the weak. Rio is a Nasty you know what and I love it. He has a sweet tooth out of this world and her name is Kinny. He wants to devour every inch of her if she lets him. Kinny has always tried to do what everyone expects of her including getting engaged to someone that doesn’t deserve her. She finally sees what she wants and needs in Rio Hood. Once he lays down what he wants and needs from Kinny she sees things a lot differently and starts living for Kinny and Rio. This is another great Black Lush novel that leaves you wanting more. Can’t wait to see who’s book is next,
Rio and Kinny tore up the spot whether she was baking and he was designing or if they were just being themselves and it was hot hot hot!!!! There love came under the heading "knew from the start"! I normally do not read raw erotica of this intense nature however the storyline was such that it was not just straight erotica, there was some actual talking, laughing, fellow shipping with his cousins and their wives plus much taking care of the businesses that provided them their paper! Overall I enjoyed the story and was only mildly squeamish at the erotic love scenes!
This was in fact sinfully sweet. The chemistry between Rio and Kinny was just DAMN *fire*. His love for sweets, hmm especially her sweets, definitely showed. And Him showing her every time just how he appreciates sweets. Rio is my favorite Hood so far.

Sinfully Sweet is the right! Rios' love of sweet confections leads him to the love of his life. Kinny definitely meets her match and everything she didn't know she was missing and needed in Rio. Together the two indulge in sinfully sweet treats and decadent sex! This might be my favorite Hood book. I love them all but it's something about Rio that I just love! Oh and I love the milkshake recipes. I'll definitely be trying a few.
Sherelle Green does it again! This was a hot🔥 and sinfully sweet read and I loved everything about it. The chemistry between Rio and Kinny was undeniable. His love for sweets definitely showed her how much her sweets were appreciated. Rio is my favorite Hood (for now 😂) If you are looking for a hot 🔥🔥🔥 story with a sweet HEA I recommend this story and the rest of the series. You will not be disappointed.
I cannot recommend this book enough! I talked to my boyfriend about this book before I even finished it. Not only was the spice there but the man falling first was everything. Love the initial chemistry and how everything flowed in the relationship! This has become one of my faves now. I hope the series is as good as this one! I found this book randomly and I do not regret how it turned out! I loved this book especially with the HEA!
If you are looking for sexy that is downright nasty, look no further. Rio is everything and more. As soon as Kinny enter the picture, it was a done deal filled with hot and steamy coupling making a sister wanting to be someone's dessert. Whew...this author knows how to deliver on the downright nasty and sexy and I am here for it, for it all!!
I actually liked this book. I didn't think I would care for the public displays but I loved their love. I just hate it when insecure people tear others down and Terron did that to Kinny. But Rio wouldn't talk bad about a black woman. This was a good read.
This was a love story about Kinneth Blossom and Nectario Hood. They met when he needed a caterer of sweets for an event he planned to reveal his new sneakers. He fell in love at his initial meeting to interview Jimmy as head baker. In a week's time he was committed to prove his intentions which led to their happily ever after.
NOW THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKIN’ ‘BOUT! This is my first book by Miss Green, and let me just say this won’t be the last. If you like ‘em nasty, like real nasty, then this book is for you. I think Rio may be giving my other book boyfriends a run for the #1 Eater title because this man CAN EAT AND THEN SOME!
Kinny learned to love herself before loving someone else. Terron was a manipulator and he took her and her love for granted but then came Rio☺️. Rio understood that Kinny is the prize and that she deserved so much more! Those Hood’s are a fantasy I would love to be my reality!
Rio, just like his cousins, staked his claim on Kinny from the jump! They both fell fast and hard! And i love all the kinky shit they do at Lush. I love Dro too even though he ruined her surprise with his greedy ass. And the recipes!!! I can’t wait to try them for real!
The nastiest story of them all, but I love it! Yes, had me thinking where’s my Rio in this city of mine. Damn, is all I can say Ms. Green! The best ending to a series for real.🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
If you are a fan of erotica you will love this book. It will make you wonder what you are or could be missing out on in your romantic life. Once you read this you are going to want to read the other books in the Black Lush Series.
Sherelle Green this was hot 🔥. Rio and Kinny had such chemistry. I really like that they also clicked so well. I knew her fiance was all wrong for her. Such an interesting condition Rio had.
One of those Hood cousins with have her. Ask Rio…he wasted no time getting to know Kinny. It didn’t matter she had a fiancé but it was for the best! Come and enjoy another Hood adventure. It does not disappoint!
Now Rio was one nasty mfr, but Kinny was loving every minute of it. When that man said he loves to eat, he said that with his whole chest. Man every woman needs a Hood in their life.
