Make Them Confess: Black Lush
When I decide to hit the road and meet my friends for my impromptu divorce party, I’m prepared for an epic girls week. The last thing I expect is to get stranded alone in a deserted small town during the biggest snowstorm of the year. That’s when I find them. Elias, Stryker, Wade, Diesel, and Knox.
They run a tattoo shop and each man is so delicious I can barely think straight. By the time I inform them that my name is Navy and realize that I’ve met one of them before, they’re already insistent that I don’t leave. Staying is a terrible idea, but now that I’m free from my ex, I’m all about being bad.

4.5 ⭐️s! A fun time was had! A little group play, age gap, recent divorcee, and close proximity in a winter storm! Absolutely!! Let me tell y’all something if I was curious about being poly this would be me lol I just want to dip my toe in it and this is that! 😆 A great add on to the Black Lush Series and another fine azz Hood cousin saving the day in the best ways ok! I don’t want to spill too much because I just loved how this story came together but listen if I get stuck in a winter storm on the way to my divorce party and end up in the hands of 5 fine men that want me?! It’s over!! I’m exploring and doing me! Sampling everything like a Golden Corral ok?! And that’s exactly what Navy did! And this story still ends in an HEA because Elias Hood knew what she needed! If you’ve read the Black Lush stories and the Keaton’s story in the Crowne series than the twist at the end will make sense! This was definitely a fun read and each man gave Navy exactly what she desired and needed to reopen herself after dealing with some bs! Lastly Elias is the man red pill dudes hate because he played his hand soo well I don’t see that coming tbh lol but I’m here for it all!
May add to this review later so this is what I got for now without spoilers, but definitely add it to your list! It’s a fun time! 🔥🔥🤭😈

Super Intense Story
I knew going in to this story it would have a sexy undertone. The content was not for me, but the story was interesting. One lady getting the chance to celebrate her divorce with special Lush treats was kind of mystical. See what you think.

But Why Choose
My why choose loving heart both loved and hated this cause why? I mean I get it, but why lol?! I love this concept, I need someone to fill out an application for me asap! This was a very sexy and short read. I really enjoyed it even if it didn’t end the way I would have preferred.

Despite there being a ton of sex, I didn't think this was very steamy. The guys kept saying they were into kinky shit but other than group sex, the kinkiest thing was Diesel eating out her ass.
The dialogue was so bad. No one talks like that.

Just didn’t do it for me
Not what I was expecting at all. I downloaded this story weeks and weeks ago and was saving it for when the mood struck. So imagine my surprise and disappointment when I start reading this story and it’s not at all what it should have been. First, there’s the whole description of a recently divorced woman being stranded with 5 sexy men. Sounds like fun. Only each initial encounter unfolded as a single male/female one-on-one encounter. When they all joined the party, the scenes played out very lukewarm at best. So, even while it was all of them together, it was still basically a scene where one man at a time sexed Navy. Guess I was expecting a true gb ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I saw the word “them” in the title of USA Today bestselling author, Sherelle
Green’s latest Naughty Season book, and was intrigued. Navy Amery is meeting
her friends over the holidays for an impromptu divorce party after finally
ending her twenty year marriage. While traveling to Chicago, Navy makes a wrong turn and ends up stranded in a snow storm in Summerland, Michigan. Greek Gawds, Inc. is the only business with the lights on.
Navy crashes into Elias Hood when she gets to the door. Hood is a name
readers know well! Navy’s hand fits perfectly in Elias’s. He has a commanding
voice, tattoos, light eyes and tall frame. She feels his sexy vibe. Diesel, Knox,
Wade and Stryker are also in the shop.
Ms. Green crafts a unique story and her heroine is ready for anything. Navy
and Diesel connect over a love of books and Knox makes her laugh. She finds
herself between the Romance and Fantasy aisles of the book store next door
and a fantasy is exactly what she gets. Caribbean born Stryker is mysterious
and clean cut. He pierces Navy with his eyes, which are a “bottomless pit of
intense pleasure”. He brings out feelings she doesn’t realize she has. Wade is
from Cranberry Heights, Arkansas. He’s a familiar name from the Madden
series. He’s a caregiver at heart and “gets” Navy. Their time together is
emotionally fulfilling.
Navy didn’t expect it, but these experiences were exactly what she needed.
Ultimately, Elias is her dream man and he lets everyone know their time has
come. Navy learns how to forgive herself, how to laugh again, how to reconnect
spiritually and encourage herself. Most importantly, she learned to love again.
Ms. Green goes deeper creatively for Make Them Confess. This book may not
be for everyone, but I highly recommend it.

A time was bad by all!
This book was so good and very well written. This author introduced us to her take on a women exploring her sexuality with multiple partners in Two Dirty Santa’s and again in Claiming Keaton’s Sanctuary and she did not disappoint with this book with a little reverse harem aspect. Navy was going through it trying to find herself after her divorce and needed to forgive herself for allowing herself to even go through her marriage and these men helped her do just that. With Stryker, Wade, Diesel, and Knox she got everything she needed to prepare her for a future with Elias and he was man enough to allow her to have her fun because he knew it was what she needed. The way these men anticipated her needs was amazing and their sex scenes, both one on one and as a group was off the chain. This book gives you spicy and shows a woman reclaiming her time and finding herself again. I would love an update on Elias and Navy and I hope we see more from the other guys as well. If only I could find a real Black Lush enterprise. I can’t wait to see what comes next from naughty season and them Hoods and this author as a whole.

The story part of the books was okay, a little unnecessary imo but I’ve read most of Crowne Family books up until this point. The twist of the twist of the twist made my head turn because , again was it necessary I don’t think so. Also I think the name of book and the insistence in the guys being so freaky and kinky and I was waiting for the ball to drop…it never did. It was just okay. Some of the dialogue was otherworldly cringey as well. “And by the time I bent her leg to reach her cute ass toes, I slopped those mugs up like they were the most delicious chocolate-covered strawberries I’d ever had.” I almost threw my iPad 😭

Hot, Sexy, Funny, Great Read
Make Them Confess is not your typical love story, but it's a fun ride. The friendship bonds and romantic bonds are well developed between the characters, and their personalities have you falling a little in love with each guy.
Despite the sharing aspect, the overall love story is a great example of a man who will always put his woman's needs first.
If you've read Sherelle Green before, you can count on the usual witty banter and humor and snappy dialog.
A fun and sexy read.

Sharing is Caring! Man, I wish that I had an experience like that and met men like that after my divorce. After two years, I’m still struggling with my self-worth and confidence. This book was well written, flowed well and definitely kept my attention it touched on divorce, multiple partners, deceit and age difference relationships. I absolutely loved the relationship between Navy and the Men of Lush. The feelings between her and Elias spanned over a ten year period. And although he was younger than her. He really showed her how a woman was supposed to be treated. Great read!

Scorching Hot!!!
Navy was on a road trip to Chicago to celebrate her divorce but a winter storm waylays her in a town off the beaten path. Getting stranded in this town turns out to be the best way for her to celebrate. While there, she begins the healing that she needs to get over her trifling ex-husband. Oh me!!! Oh my!!! The way she heals is truly unorthodox but I was happy for her. I will definitely remember the chocolate candy she indulged in. Once again, Ms. Green has given us another scorching hot book in the Lush world.

Oh so deliciously messy!
This was so stimulating. Please read slowly because you may miss an important detail. Navy found herself in four tasty chocolate candies. I do not think I will look at a Snickers, Milky Way, Musketee, or York Peppermint Pattie the same. Plus everything made perfect sense once the snowstorm cleared. Thank you for another mind stimulating read Ms. Green.

So, reading this book brought to mind the ice cream store Baskin-Robbins. You know where they have 31 flavors and can sample any flavor you'd like!? Well, Navy gets to sample Knox, Diesel, Wade, and Stryker. And baaabbbyyy, the four of them made Navy a very yummy sundae...and Elias was the cherry on top!!! I'm really loving the Black Lush series. They are shining a light on women's sexual liberation and doing so without shame or judgment. I am here for it!!!

Make Them Confess
This was a love story about Navy Amery and Elias Hood. They realized they'd met previously when her cousin Jesse married. She got lost in a snow storm traveling to Chicago to celebrate her divorce. Because she was unable to read the sign on the highway so she ended up in a small town and stumbled into an open store that housed a tattoo shop. After a week and half until her car was repaired by that time they found happily ever after.

That Knox tho; he’s a mess. 🤣 Navy is Blessed Chile. 😭 Her conversation with Jesse was so funny. Lol can’t wait to see what’s next for Black Lush. ❤️

Awesome Read!
I knew from the description of this book what to expect, but I got more than I expected! I loved all of the characters, but I thought things should have went a little different for Knox and the end with him posting a picture on IG. Really? Anyhoo, I do believe people with an open mind will enjoy this book and I do recommend it!

This one wasn’t as good as sinfully sweet confessions but this was a good one. I really like the relationship and how Elias allowed her to get the experience she needed and I love a HEA. It wasn’t as smutty as I expected either with it being a RH but it was a good amount of smut and a cute little story with a plot and surprises.

My God
Ms Sherelle you have done it this time! Navy had every woman’s fantasy at her finger tips! Doggone it! The descriptions and having it all to yourself sounds yummy. Not one, not two but four! Then the grand prize….Elias Hood. Those Hood men! Love this fantasy for us women.

3.5- I LOVED the story all the way up to the reveal in the last few chapters. SO delicious and I love a “when you know, you know” type of love story but the ending/reveal felt more out of place than a pleasant surprise. Like, random and really rushed. Overall a beautiful story but the ending kind of took me out of the story and I ended up reading it just to finish.

What dreams are made of!
Oh my goodness, this book has a sista in fantasy land. I could
Imagine myself in Navy’s position to have those beautifully men worship me and my body in the most intimate and loving way. I applaud you (Sherelle) in bringing awareness to how some women are treated in their marriages and how they can heal and love themselves again!
