The Onyx Club #2
Dangerous Desire
My name is Brandon Edwards. Men like me don’t come along often. I'm a gentleman, a lover, a protector, and a Dominant. I've never been the type who can – or even wants to – commit to a woman…until I met Penny a couple of years ago. Since then, we've been in a committed relationship. I adore and cherish her.
Penny has a darkness inside her, a yearning for extreme pain. But I don’t want that for her, nor can I give her what she’s so desperate for. Her craving has led her down risky paths, and it’s my job to keep her off those now.
There’s a dangerous desire lurking within all of us. But when does wanting more become too much?

This is the second book in the Onyx Club series and it’s simply amazing! Sebastian Ex is back with gorgeous Brandon and his warm, affectionate love story with Penny. This book has no dull moments and the buzz that flows between him and Penny is Hot!
Brandon is Penny’s dom and they are madly in love with each other. He is over-protective towards her and willing to offer her the greatest sexual pleasures. He wants to own her, pleasure her, dominate her. But Penny needs more and more pain and Brandon is reluctant to practice the pain Penny asks for. This is the reason she leaves him, although she has strong feelings for him. Penny finds another Master who is willing to satisfy her extreme masochistic demands. When Brandon sees her with him, he realizes just what he lost and wonders if he’ll get a second chance.
This is a beautiful, emotionally draining story that deals with an over-protective, virtuous Dom and a sexy submissive who is naturally a masochist. Although they love each other, they break up because Brandon denies inflicting on Penny extreme pain. A submissive enjoys pain whereas a masochist revels in it. The dramatic turn of Penny’s relationship with her new Master, awakens Brandon’s protective urges and so he does his best to win her back.
Mr. Sebastian Ex has us “submitting” to the interesting and admittedly erotic world of BDSM. Brandon is the perfect dom who does his best to find what his partner needs and eventually find the way to satisfy her in bed without remorse. This story is an emotionally heartbreaking story about loss, sacrifice and redemption. It gives us a very realistic look at the love and trust that can be and should be part of this lifestyle. This book fully supports the idea that at its best, BDSM is a willing power exchange enveloped in love.

Let’s see, where should I begin…Well, perhaps ‘Well done, Sebastian!’ seems a good place to start. Once again, Sebastian brings us an incredible story, filled with angst, in-depth characters, unbelievable – panty soaking - sex [and did I say, UNBELIEVABLE SEX?!], and lest we forget, love. I think that is what I enjoyed the most about this fantastic story – the profound, and intense, love between Brandon and Penny. I actually FELT it.
Sebastian weaves a tale that pulls you in completely [from page one, in fact], and I found myself lost within the pages, unable to put it down until the very end. As with Matthew [from Filthy Desire], Brandon is the ultimate Dom – protective, sexy, confident, caring [INCREDIBLY caring], and yet it seems he has even more layers – particularly his heart. Or dare I say, the vulnerability you glimpse just beneath the surface. But regardless of their [re: Matthew and Brandon’s] slight differences, their one true commonality?... Swoon-worthy! Yes, absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, swoon-worthy! I found myself wanting – no, WISHING - that these fictional characters were REAL – a common sentiment, I’m sure, by many who’ve read these two great stories.
I anxiously await the next installment in the Onyx Club Series. Fingers crossed Sebastian won’t make us wait too long.
Again, well done, Sebastian!

Another Fabulous read from Sebastian Ex...
I fell hard for Brandon in Filthy Desire and could not wait to get started on his and Penny's story. Let me say I was not disappointed. This author does a fantastic job of sucking you into the story with in the first few pages.
Brandon is a dominate. Penny is his not only his submissive, but he cares for her deeply. Upon realizing he can not be the dom she needs he is heartbroken.
Penny thrives for pain, more than he is capable of giving her. This leaves their relationship in jeopardy. This story unfolds and takes you down of path of destruction. Can Mathew find a way to give Penny what she needs?
Dangerous Desire is the 2nd book in the Onyx Club series. It can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading FILTHY DESIRES.
I can not wait to read Nathan and Bianca's story.

5 dangerously desirable STARS!
I know I loved every second of this book, but can't quite articulate exactly how or why - so bear with me. I was feeling and experiencing emotions from a book that I never have. Totally uncharted waters... in the best way!
Penny is wonderful. And I must stress that in order to get a true feel for her - read book 1. She's a woman who is complex and strong. Her relationship with Brandon was terrific, until it wasn't. Penny needed more than he was willing to give her. Further than he was willing to go. But I had this 'sense' that they would somehow compromise. After a traumatic, and adjust tragic turn of events my sense was right! But the conversations between Brandon and Penny were heart-wrenching. I was completely overwhelmed with 'feels'!
And Brandon - earned a well deserved spot on my BBF list! He was chivalrous, commanding, sweet, caring... I could go on! He was a Dom as I've never read. And in love with his Petal. The moment he realized he couldn't be what Penny needed was heart-breaking. I think he experienced almost every emotion. from the prologue to the epilogue. I just really have no words for how his actions with his Petal made me feel. But where most alpha/Dom characters stop, Brandon didn't. His compassion knew no bounds. A seriously flawless character!
The development of this author's characters is nothing short of first-class!!!! And honestly, although I'm not a person who participates in BDSM, well... I'm not gonna lie, this book had me thinking about things. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The connections with characters from Filthy Desire really came to play. I loved with way the author portrayed the guys - as 'brothers' - and how they each come in and out of the story. I'd highly suggest that these books be read in order. They have interconnected characters. While you can read as a stand-alone, there's so much you would miss! I kept thinking, not only do I have this fantastic new story but now I get even more insight to Matt and Elle!! Yay!! This book had all the bells and whistles! The fantastic writing style, flow of the story and pace of the book, a dual POV, characters demanding to be connected with, and the actual story line... just remarkable!
I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this impressive, intricate puzzle!

"Just as I'm marking her, she's marking me. She's left a piece of her soul with me. It's grafted onto mine and now it's a part of me, just as I'm a part of her. We're entwined in the most delicate of strings, enveloped by the most intricate pulleys."

Wow!!!I couldn't put this book down! I enjoyed it just as much if not more so than Filthy Desire.
Sebastian has written this in such a way and with such amazing words, that it is nothing short of brilliant! Some sentences I thought were rather profound!
Brandon is an incredibly caring, protective Dom with a heart of gold and once you read Dangerous Desire you will understand. The way he treats Penny, the lengths he goes to, to care for her wellbeing is just so endearing! He also likes helping struggling women and what he does for a particular character is so wonderful, you have to feel for her and you realize that Brandon is a very kind and generous man.
I felt rather sad for Penny. I cried a few times and was relieved when things went the way did...but Brandon's words to her, oh you will definitely sigh and swoon and sigh all over again!
There is also quite a bit of humour! The talks between Brandon, Matthew & Nathan are hilarious!
The hotness factor, well, holy hotness indeed!!
Sebastian has written an incredible 2nd book in the Onyx club series and I cannot wait to read more! I have no doubt as we read each book he writes, it will only get better and better each time.
This is an absolute must read series!

Dangerous Desire- Sebastian Ex
Brandon & Penny's relationship is a very intense one, being a Dom Brandon has certain limits that he can withhold, Penny on the other hand seeks the pain that she desires. Even if it means leaving the one that you love to get your next fix.
The sex scenes are so freaking hot, they leave you wanting more......There are elements of BDSM too.
Love the way the characters from Filthy Desire flows into this story. Brandon, Matthew and Nathan . These guys are IT!! They are hot, sexy and swoon worthy and most importantly they take care of their own.
This story had me memorized from the first page, so easy to read and beautifully written...I was so into this story, I felt as if I was a character in it.
It's been along time since a book effected me as this book did. It was playing with my emotions I was happy, sad and at times I felt like throwing my Kindle... But loved every second and wanted more!!
Sebastian truly out did himself and he honestly deserves all the praises that he will receive .This is beyond five stars...
Bring on Book 3, Can't wait to read about Nathan and Bianca

Could not put this down.... I love how the men in this series adore, protect and love the women in their lives. The beginning although heartbreaking because you are introduced to the main characters in Filthy Desire (book one of the Onyx Club Series) was what needed to happen to set up the remainder of the story. This is a loving emotional story involving a D/s relationship with the perfect HEA for Brandon and Penny.
This author has become one of my favorites and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

So the continuation of Filthy Desire by Sebastian Ex was another eye opening read. This book focussed primarily around Brandon and Penny (aka Petal). Their story was one that both shocked me and inspired me. Much like Matthew, Brandon is a brilliant character. A terrific Dom but Penny questions their relationship because of her risky sexual desires.
---------
Excerpt:
She pushed me to be the best Dom I could be for her. She showed me the control I needed to have when we're Dom/sub. And I've shown her the power of freedom she has through her surrender.
----------
But Penny walking out would lead her to something much more dangerous than anyone anticipated. Not only wound lose her ability to use safe words with her next match but also so much more personally. Knowing that Brandon couldn't give her what she wanted or needed would cut him in half but when she truly needed him, he knew they wouldn't be separated again.
The continued morals from the first story are very much apparent. The vulnerability and safety of their women always being at the forefront of their thoughts. Unlike some men, pretending to be what they aren't, would rile the men. They knew how a Dom should act at all times and how to treat the ladies in their lives...
---------
Excerpt:
Matthew, Nathan and I have the same values. Women - more specifically our women - are to be nurtured, encouraged, and worshipped...To take them, use them, break down the barriers their minds put up, and to rebuild them until they're the women they should be. But most of all, we cherish and love them.
----------
Penny wanting more, shows Brandon he needs to do all in his power to be what she wants. What she needs. But could he bring himself to do what she craved so badly?
---------
Excerpt:
But Master is what she wants to call me, and I've made a promise to myself to learn to be the best Master I can be for her. "I'll be here to catch you if you fall. I'll be here to be your Master."
----------
Penny's upbringing was a normal one. But her desires seemed far from what you expect. But with friends and support around the pair, they would help one another. Grow together emotionally, physically and financially through their own personal journeys as well as the businesses. Even if this meant treading on the toes of someone who would have set off the whole mess with Penny in the first place.
---------------
Final Excerpt:
...all I want is to feel that burn of pain. It's like a craving, one a junkie might have...But I crave the pain, and I don't think I can ever be happy with just some kink. It makes me feel alive, wrong and right, elated and sad, and everything in between, with each and every strike.
-------------
A difficult and mind boggling second read from Sebastian Ex but as always, a learning curve and a very intriguing read into the BDSM and Dom/sub world.

Received a copy in exchange for an honest review
“I lean down and kiss her. It’s the first real kiss I’ve shared with her since she walked out. My tongue traces the curve of her lip, silently claiming her. When she parts her bruised lips, she takes a deep breath and lets a small moan slip out. I drink her in, my hands never leaving the softness of her cheeks. As if she’s intoxicated with the small amount of pleasure I’m giving her, she slightly arches into my touch.”
5 stars all the way!! This series is beyond words. You know how there’s usually one author you’ll drop everything for just to read their books?? Sebastian Ex is it for me!! I love this series, I love the characters and I love the storyline!! Never a disappointment.
My name is Brandon Edwards. Men like me don’t come along often. I'm a gentleman, a lover, a protector, and a Dominant. I've never been the type who can – or even wants to – commit to a woman…until I met Penny a couple of years ago. Since then, we've been in a committed relationship. I adore and cherish her.
Penny has a darkness inside her, a yearning for extreme pain. But I don’t want that for her, nor can I give her what she’s so desperate for. Her craving has led her down risky paths, and it’s my job to keep her off those now.
There’s a dangerous desire lurking within all of us. But when does wanting more become too much?
In this second installment of The Onyx Club, we get Brandon and Penny’s story. Brandon is forced to let Penny go out of his life when he realizes he can’t be the DOM she wants him to be. He doesn’t want to inflict the pain she so willingly wants and though he’s heartbroken he knows it’s within her best interest to find a new “Master.” A few weeks later, although heartbroken, Brandon decides to pick up the pieces and go out with Matthew and Nathan to a BDSM club. It’s there that he sees Penny again for the first time, and she’s with a new man. Not happy with what he sees, he sits back and watches her from afar. Penny has moved on to Lucifer, her new master and while she thinks he’s a good guy with a heavy hand, he’s anything but good. One fateful night while at the hospital with Daisy, Brandon’s and Matthew’s new employee, Brandon gets a phone call saying Penny was in a horrible auto accident and she’s being rushed to the hospital. I won’t go on too much from her so as not to spoil anything for anyone, but the story only gets better from here. Matthew and Brandon, make big plans and Brandon makes big decisions regarding him and Penny. I loved reading about Brandon and Penny’s story. Again I love this series, and I couldn’t help but be sucked into this book as well!! Great job!!

Dangerous Desire is book 2 in the Onyx Club Series.
Sebastian wrote a wonderful story that included BDSM lifestyle, hot scenes, a romance between two characters, and crossed over characters from book 1, Filthy Desire.
In Dangerous Desire you are reading mainly about Brandon and Penny.
Brandon is a Dom. He is very gentle and he knows how to treat his submissive, Penny.
He’s the kind of Dom that I like.
Brandon and Penny love each other so much. Penny loves pain in the BDSM lifestyle. (For me, that kind of pain isn't for me, but that's what makes it an interesting story).
Brandon doesn't give her the kind of pain she wants so she leaves.
What happens next gets me really mad and it's heartbreaking.
I'm not going to go into detail but something happens to Penny and it changes them both.
Brandon will do anything for Penny as he's now madly in love with her. Brandon also is such a caring person he helps out Daisy and her son.
Dangerous Desire made me smile and it also made me frown at a few spots. It also wanted me to reach inside and smack someone. (Again, I'm not going to go into details because I don't want to spoil the story for those that haven't read it) It was a great book to follow Filthy Desire.
I can't wait to find out what happens in the 3rd book.
Some quotes/parts of the story I liked:
"Something I learned early as a Dominant is sometimes women just need to cry. The tears I usually see are after a scene, a moment when everything is stripped back to its rawest and most natural form. It's when the woman feels most vulnerable, though paradoxically, it's also the strongest she's ever been."
"Matthew, Nathan and I have the same values. Women-more specifically our women- are to be nurtured, encouraged, and worshipped. When inside the bedroom, they’re to be dominated and f*cked. They’re designed to be treated beautifully, to have us fall at their feet, utterly devoted to them. To take them, use them, break down the barriers their minds put up, and to rebuild them until they’re the women they should be. But most of all, we cherish and love them.”
"There's no doubt in my mind your protectiveness, your chivalry, and your strength, will make you phenomenal Master...," she pauses, "My Master," she adds."
"She understands I want to give her exactly what she needs. And if I can't give it to her, I'll find the best person who can."
“The submissive is the one with all the power. It all comes down to them and what they want. The Dominant is merely a trusted person to let go with and experience the surrender a submissive willingly gives.”

“The submissive is the one with all the power. It all comes down to them and what they want. The Dominant is merely a trusted person to let go with and experience the surrender a submissive willingly gives.”

I really liked the first book in this series so was looking forward to see how the second one would turn out, and I loved it even more! Sebastian Ex is very much becoming a favourite author of mine now.
Brandon is such a great character, very funny at times, lots of banter between him and the other two male leads Matthew and Nathan (triple cocktail of hotness!). But the thing I loved about him most is that whether you agree or disagree with the lifestyle that they live in he is always a gentleman first no matter what. He will, along with Matthew and Nathan, always put his lady first and all the men would do anything and everything to protect them (and have done in the past).
Ok so the start of the story had me panicking for a moment as it starts with Brandon and Penny splitting up, but they need to do this to be able to get their relationship to what they really want, or more precisely to be able to give Penny what she really needs. Penny has always felt like there was something missing in her past relationships, she thought she had it all with Brandon (she does love him) but she knows she needs more. She is more than a submissive she is naturally a masochist. She needs more pain than what a ‘normal’ Dom/Sub relationship would usually contain and Brandon doesn’t think he can give it to her – he doesn’t want a Master/Slave relationship. After seeing her at a BDSM club where she is being used very much as a slave all he wants to do is beat the guy to a pulp and save her. He knows from that moment that he will do whatever it takes to get her back, as he can’t live without her.
The connection between the characters is so true that you are drawn into the story and held captive right up until the end (I for one couldn’t put it down). I liked that all three couples are being more interlinked within the story this time round. Filthy Desire was a great start but they have all developed as characters so much more since then. I love how far Matthew and Ella’s relationship has come – Ella has certainly come out of herself now with having lots more confidence. I can’t wait for Nathan and Bianca’s story theirs will be a completely different dynamic from the others as theirs has always been a Master/Slave relationship. One part in this story she is said to have been acing like a real brat, even being made to have a time out, and I really want to know what she did!
Great author that I would recommend but only for people who understand the dynamics of a BDSM relationship. If you don’t then this story is not for you.

4.5 Star Review Dangerous Desire (The Onyx Club # 2) by Sebastian Ex
I received this book for an honest review.
This is Sebastian Ex’s follow up novel and is the story of Brandon Edwards a Dominant who cares deeply for his submissive Penny who is struggling with her need for extreme pain.
Brandon is a partner is the Onyx club with his best friend Matthew who featured in Filthy Desires. A Dominant through and through, compassionate, caring and loyal. He loves Penny and is absolutely devastated when she leaves him.
Penny is a tortured soul; she loves Brandon but needs pain the he cannot give her. By leaving him she hopes to desperately seek out and fine someone who can fulfil this need in her that is almost eating her alive. The journey Penny embarks on nearly costs her life.
What Penny didn’t realise is the depth of love that Brandon has for her and when she is injured and suffers a devastating loss it is Brandon who is there to protect, cherish and comfort her. The lengths he will go to give Penny what she needs is heart-warming. I really fell for Brandon.
Brandon’s generosity in helping Daisy and her son Jackson shows just how deeply he cares for those around him. I have no doubt at some stage (well I hope) that Daisy will have her own story. I also long to learn more about Nathan and Bianca and hope I don’t have to wait too long.
I love BDSM and whilst Penny’s wants and needs are more extreme than what I feel comfortable with it was so well written that you wanted to cheer Brandon and Penny along as they desperately search and re connected as a couple.
I love that these books include the ensemble cast of characters and you get glimpses into their lives. It is like catching up with old friends.
There are a few typographical errors, but no doubt they will be fixed moving forward. Having said that I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from Sebastian Ex.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
We met Brandon and Penny in the first book, Filthy Desire, but this book focuses on them where the last book was about Matthew and Ella. That being said, this can be read as a stand alone book.
Penny is Brandon's submissive, and he's in love with her. He's had previous submissives but this is the first time he's been in love. Unfortunately Penny decides she needs more than he can or is willing to give her. She needs pain, she's a masochist to an extreme that Brandon just isn't comfortable with. It's so deeply ingrained in him to worship and care for women, not to hurt them, that he just can't cross that line. Penny decides she has to leave to find what she needs and leaves him heart broken and miserable.
Penny ends up with someone she thought was exactly what she needed. But Lucifer turns out to be an abuser, not a true dominant or sadist. His abuse leads to her being in a serious car accident that almost takes her life. Brandon shows up right be her side as soon as he hears about it and decides he's never letting her away from him again. It's his job as her dominant to not only protect her but also give her what she needs. If that's pain, then he's willing to research and learn safe ways to take care of her.
Penny's road to recovery is long and difficult, both physically and emotionally. Brandon takes such good care of her, he leaves no doubt about how much he loves her. She carries a tremendous amount of guilt for leaving him, and it's not so easy for her to accept his forgiveness and love that he offers. Brandon doesn't give up and he helps heal her body and her heart.
I love the men in this series. Matthew, Nathan and Brandon are perfect in every way. They treasure and cherish their girls, while taking care of their every want and need. Each one of them have risked their lives keeping them safe. It doesn't matter if it's their girl, or their friend's girl, they take on the responsibility of caring for them. I want to know where i can find a Dom like them!

Dangerous Desire is a fantastic follow up to Sebastian Ex's debut novel, Filthy Desire. I enjoyed this book even more than the first - it's an intensely satisfying love story with a difference. It can be read as a standalone alone, but I'd recommend reading Filthy Desire for Matthew and Ella's story first so you know the background of the Onyx Club and it's owners. This story stars Matthew's business partner Brandon and his lovely submissive Penny. Recently Penny has started craving extreme amounts of pain, and when Brandon realises that he's unable to give this to her she leaves him. Sadly Penny's dark desires lead her into danger. Can Brandon and Penny make their relationship work? And most importantly can Brandon keep Penny safe?
This is a captivating story that had me completely hooked. Brandon's love for Penny shone from the pages, and the anguish he felt was just heart wrenching. It was impossible not to feel for Penny, the situation she found herself in was just awful. Brandon was a tower of strength for Penny, he was absolutely amazing, I completely fell in love with him. This was such an emotional story, full of love and angst. But the emotional, angst filled moments were brilliantly balanced out by the witty, humorous banter between Brandon, Matthew and their friend and fellow Dom, Nathan. They were so funny together, but they were also like three extremely sexy, dominant angels. Their hearts are huge, and they will do anything to help those they love. The way Brandon helped Daisy and her son, was just so sweet. Daisy is a great addition to the cast, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for her.
Sebastian Ex has really impressed me with this series. His stories are sexy, gritty and emotional yet also funny and heartwarming. I'll definitely be looking out for more from this great new author. Five stars!

Dominant but loving, a wonderful combination…
This is the second book in the Onyx Club series and I was really looking forward to it. The first was a great read and I was thrilled to see familiar characters from that story playing supportive roles here.
Brandon Edwards is everything that could possibly be good about being a Dominant. He is strong, smart, and decisive with that hint of arrogance that is tempered for him by sensitivity and genuine caring and respect.
“How does a blind person walk? I ask.
“With one foot in front of the other, Master,” Petal says as she looks up at me.
“A blind person walks with confidence. Trust in yourself, and I’ll lead you the rest of the way.”
There are so many different ways that BDSM or the dominant/submissive lifestyle can be lived. Finding someone who shares the same preferences plays a big part in partners being satisfied and fulfilled. Brandon is happy with Penny as his submissive but he realizes that she wants, needs, more than he is able and comfortable to give. Even though separating is not what he wants, he lets her go. The story is told from his point of view so his pain and grief over losing her is plain to see.
As we know, sometimes what we wish for doesn’t always work out. When they are given a second chance they take it. This story is about taking that chance and overcoming the pain of still un-resolved obstacles. Nothing is easier the second time around and is even harder as they really have to communicate and be open and honest about what they really need.
Their journey is told with humour, strong emotion and sexy heat which kept me glued to the pages and devouring the entire story in one sitting. I hope there is more in this series and I’m definitely putting this author on my automatic must read list!

Dangerous Desires by Sebastian Ex
Reviewed by Tracey Lou Parker
Dangerous desires the long awaited 2nd book from the talented Australian writer Sebastian Ex.
This book revolves around two main protagonists Brandon and Penny.Their relationship and their feelings for each other and the lifestyle in which they live .
We first met Brandon and Penny in Sebastian Ex's debut Novel Filthy Desires .
This is their story .
Brandon Edwards is the business partner of Matthew Weston and together they own The Onyx Club .He is also a Dom. For the last couple of years Brandon has been in a relationship with penny who is also his submissive.
Penny is totally committed to their relationship but deep down she knows that there is something missing. She thrives on pain, she needs pain ! and wants Brandon to be that person to give it to her .Brandon feels that he cannot give her what she's wants so makes the heartbreaking decision for them to part ways . Brandon is completely devastated whilst penny is sad at the outcome .
Penny eventually finds what she is looking for but it comes at a price and Brandon ,with the help of his friends rides to the rescue and vows to make the person that hurt penny pay for what he has done .
Sebastian Ex is fast becoming one of my favourite authors . The subject matter of both filthy Desires and Dangerous Desires was an indepth look into the BDSM lifestyle and also the love affair between two pple.. Sebastian's style of writing flows along the page beautifully and the story connected all the characters together like a jigsaw puzzle
This story brings you angst and also happiness, so all your emotions come into effect.a pleasurable read indeed.

“Strength comes from within. We aren’t shown it; we aren’t taught it. Some of us seek it, some of us need it, but all of us have it. And it’s times like this that make you dig deep for your own strength.”
This was another great book from Sebastian Ex. The first book was about Matthew and it really surprised me how much i loved that book by the end. This one was different all together, but that is because Brandon is different all together. I think the quote above covers who he is pretty well. He is the softer side to the duo. And while Matthew has his softer side, it took us a while to see it. Brandon was sweet right off the bat.
At first I hadn't read the synopsis in a while so I started the book off not really knowing what was going on. It was a difference experience and one I enjoyed. Who was he going to be with? It made the progression between him and Penny so much more realistic. I really enjoyed watching their relationship. It was a steamy book, but also very tame.
Penny was a great character I enjoyed. She was a strong woman who knew what she wanted out of life. I really enjoyed reading back about her past and her discovery of becoming a submissive. I love how she accepted who she was. I loved how Brandon did what he needed to to take care of her.
Once again this book was written in a male POV and I liked hearing from Brandon. There was one off chapter from Penny's POV which threw me off, but not enouhg to really bother me.
Overall, the book was a quick fun read with a good amount of tension. I'm really keeping my eye out for what Sebastian has coming out next! Enjoy!

5 Stars!
I really liked this book in a very bad and dirty way. This book is not for the weak and not for the prude. This book was hot, dirty, sexy, wrong at times, and so very good. This book, while seriously hot, had a great story to it about a woman learning to embrace her dark desires and overcome abuse. And a crazy bonus?! The author is male and I LOVE finding male authors because their books are always grittier and definitely more real in the romance world.
This is Brandon and Penny's story. Brandon and Penny are in a committed relationship until Brandon realizes Penny needs more. Penny leaves him to find what she is looking for. Not long after, tragedy strikes and Brandon realizes that he cannot lose the woman who owns his heart. Brandon in a dominant, not a master but Penny needs more than to be just a submissive. As these two grow closer and learn about love, they will explore the darker sides of love. And with danger possibly lurking, it is going to be one hot, steamy, and crazy ride.
I loved Brandon. He was so devoted, sweet, kind, alpha, and completely dominant. When he got bossy n the bedroom, a change of panties was needed immediately. God my heart ached for him at times. I think what really drew me what his heart. It was so so so tender and the love he had just poured out of him. I cannot wait for the next man to get his story! EEP!
I cannot wait for more from the author. To be new author, he totally knocked it out of the park. He can only go up from here so I will be patiently waiting for more!
I highly recommend this book.

4.5 Stars!! Brandon Edwards and his best friend Matthew Weston—both Doms—own a very popular burlesque club. Brandon has dominated many women, but only loved one—Penny. They’ve had a great D/s relationship the past couple of years. Penny loves Brandon, and he adores and cherishes her. Lately, Penny has been feeling something is lacking in their relationship. She’s doesn’t think Brandon can give her what she needs, so she leaves him in search of someone to fulfill her dark desires.
Brandon is heartbroken, and doesn’t understand how Penny could have just left him. His ego is bruised, and he misses her terribly. It takes a near-death experience—and his friends to show him how to be the Dom Penny needs. A true Dom puts his submissive’s needs ahead of his own, and I really liked how Brandon showed Penny both his true love and respect for her.
Sebastian writes a new angle on a D/s relationship, and it’s from the male POV. I absolutely fell in love with Brandon. He’s a tough Dom, but he is a true gentleman and fierce protector, the same as his friends and fellow Doms, Matthew and Nathan. The women—Penny, Ella and Bianca are very close friends, and are by no means meek and timid. Though the dynamic of their relationships are different for each couple, each of the men will do anything to protect all of their women. There is plenty of scorching hot sex; something Sebastian has a gift for writing.
This is the second book in the Onyx Club Series, and I can’t wait for the third.
I received this ARC for an honest review, and I give it 4.5 stars.

Sebastian Ex has a unique writing style. His books grab you from the start and don't let go! His Onyx Club books (book 1 being Filthy Desires and book 2 Dangerous Desires) have a definite raw sexual aspect, yet they have a true heartwarming storyline. The love, passion and protective feelings the three main characters have for their ladies is expressed in such a way the reader can totally feel every emotion they do. Sebastian is a young talent that writes like a seasoned veteran (If you have read his work, you totally understand what I am saying).
If you've read the synopsis to Dangerous Desires then you know this is Penny and Brandon's story. Brandon is a DOM that knows to truly love and care for his submissive he must be able to give her what she needs and desires. But what happens when what she needs he knows he can't give her? Will Penny's love keep her in Brandon's loving care or will Brandon have to let her go?
This reader's was glued to every page. I found myself laughing, crying and down right sighing as I read this book. BOTH TIMES! I won't lie, I've owned the book for 3 days and I've read it cover to cover TWICE! While a true dominate behind closed doors, Brandon is what they used to call a man's man - meaning that he is a gentleman, a man of his word, will do anything for someone in need but most of all Protect what is his!
Dangerous Desires is a MUST READ IN A MUST READ SERIES!! (This doesn't have to be read after Filthy Desires but this reader HIGHLY recommends it). 2 THUMBS UP and truly looking forward to book 3.

Reviewing on behalf of Relentless book chics ramblings and reviews
Brandon Edwards is part owner of the Onyx club and close friend of Matthew who we met in the first book of the series, Filthy desires. He’s a gentleman, a Dominant and has been in a committed relationship with Penny for a few years.
While Brandon is completely happy in their relationship and loves and cherishes her, Penny has something dark inside her that makes her crave pain. The kind of pain that Brandon isn’t willing to give her. Brandon loves her so deeply that he’s willing to risk losing her forever just to make her happy so they separate and she goes off to find a Dominant who can give her what she needs.
After a tragedy occurs, Brandon finds himself back in Penny’s life and being the protector he is, vows to seek revenge on the person who harmed her and make sure that she is loved and cared for. Brandon has all the characteristics of a real Dom and shows that not only does the Dom look after his sub and care for her in every way she needs but also, realising he needed to adapt and learn new skills to help fulfil the needs of his sub in a way that makes them both happy and safe.
The sex scenes in this book are hot and it’s great that the characters from the first book are in this one and are part of the story, not just mentioned in passing.
I have to be honest and say that although I enjoyed it, I didn’t love it like I did the first book in the series but I would still recommend it as a great read.
Brandon Edwards is part owner of the Onyx club and close friend of Matthew who we met in the first book of the series, Filthy desires. He’s a gentleman, a Dominant and has been in a committed relationship with Penny for a few years.
While Brandon is completely happy in their relationship and loves and cherishes her, Penny has something dark inside her that makes her crave pain. The kind of pain that Brandon isn’t willing to give her. Brandon loves her so deeply that he’s willing to risk losing her forever just to make her happy so they separate and she goes off to find a Dominant who can give her what she needs.

This book to me is more than just a dominant man and his submissive women. To me this book is about a man who is crazy in love with a woman who needs what he can't give her and he is willing to go to hell and back to give her what she needs and desires. It is a love story with a different twist! Brandon Edwards is extremely passionate and I want him. He cares so deeply for the people in this life and he will stop at nothing to keep them safe.
Penny is a woman that has a dark side and Brandon is the perfect person for her. They balance each other out and it is simply perfect. My heart broke for Penny in this book and I can honestly say that I can feel her pain.
Is this book about Brandon and Penny, yes. BUT we get to meet Daisy and Jackson and have to say that those characters are now my two favorite. The way that Brandon comes in and takes charges is incredible and I loved every second of it.
Sebastian EX is an amazing author! This man will suck you in with every word he writes. I guarantee! I love his books and I can't wait to read many more! I have to be honest here....yes I do stalk his Facebook page but really who wouldn't. Right?!
All jokes aside...I love this book and I love and want Brandon and I blame Sebastian EX for making me leave Mathew sitting on the side lines. So now...I am completely interested in wanting to get to know Nathan more. Hint...Hint!

***ARC given for honest review***
Sebastian seems to get better with every book he writes. I really loved the story of Penny and Brandon. I was disappointed in Penny though because she had such a good thing with Brandon and it wasn't enough for her but she soon figures out that he is what she needs. I understand sometimes things don't work but in their case, Penny and Brandon just didn't try hard enough until something horrible happens and they both realize they need to try harder for each other. Brandon has to be one of my favorite male characters because he is so caring yet stern. He has such a big heart even if he doesn't let it show to anyone but his closest friends. I also loved how Sebastian brought in Daisy and Jackson under the Onyx Club's care. I would love to see more of them and Dylan. When each book in the series ends, it just makes me want more and a story for each character we are introduced to. And each book keeps adding more to the story of all the characters so we get to see them more even though the book is not totally based on them. I believe Sebastian is here to stay and can't wait to see what else he has in store for us!

First let me say that I have been waiting for Brandon's story. He was my favorite Character in Filthy Desire. His comic banter and the way he carried himself won me over. I love the brotherly bond that these friends live and the teasing is priceless. They all take care of thier ladies and will protect them at all costs. They are gentleman dominants also willing to adapt to the needs of thier ladies.
As soon as you start reading the prologue to Dangerous Desire it pulls you right in and the book does not stop until you are done. It is a multiple time read kind of book. The struggle Penny and Brandon go throught to find thier need fill is heartfelt. The way that Brandon takes care of Penny is the way I would want to be treated by a man. He is a gentleman through and through.
I enjoyed this book so muchit is just a classy read. Sebastian has outdone himself his writing skills have improved if that is even possiable. He continued the series with passion for the charcters and details of the first book. Although it helps to have read Sebastian's Filthy Desire it is not nessary.

He's back....and better than his debut novel! This is the second book in the Onyx Club series. Dangerous Desire picks up soon after Matthew and Ella were married. This time we have Brandon and Penny's story. Brandon and Penny have a great relationship until she wants more, more of what Brandon cannot and will not give her. So what is a girl to do? She seeks out more and thus the trouble begins. How will the new character Daisy get involved? Will Penny find her more? Will Brandon ever be able to give Penny more? This novel was unbelievably good and full of raw emotion. I laughed, I cried, and I felt like it was playing out in real life. You feel like these characters are in your life. The men, Matthew, Brandon, and Nathan will keep you in stitches. A true friendship in full effect. This book is a true testament to the phenomenal author Sebastian is proving himself to be. I love a good book that gets me emotionally involved. If he only gets better with each book...who knows what book #3 will bring. Wishing you continued success with your writing Sebastian.

Sebastian Ex has done it again with another amazing read. I fell in love with Brandon and Penny in this story. My heart even broke and then going through trying to make changes in their life to become better together was amazing.
Penny wants more no she needs more than what Brandon is willing to give her. Brandon is a gentleman through and through. He will protect what is his as well as those around him no questions asked. He never thought he would have just one woman in his life never needed it until Penny.
Penny needs pain she thrives on it. But Brandon has his limits and what she wants hes not willing to give. Will they overcome and work through the differences? Will Brandon be able to compromise and learn new things just for Penny to keep her in his life?
If you have yet to read Filthy Desires I suggest reading that before this one although it doesnt need to be. The characters cross over in both stories and you have a better understanding of some things that are brought up.
Cant wait for more from Sebastian Ex in the future.

5 Super Sexy Stars
This author is super talented, his writing is amazing! You will find yourself sucked right into the story, and believe me you will not want to put it down. I love Brandon and it is a nice change of pace to get inside the mind of the man in the story. The author has created these characters in such a way that you can really get in to them. Brandon is a rare kind of guy anymore, and you can't help but to get all gushy about him. The sexual aspect is hot, and open and amazing, but it doesn't overshadow the emotions involved in the story. A lot of D/s books fail in that aspect, and then there is just that something that is missing unless you are looking for a spank mag. (I know! Yes I just said that! It needed to be said. Anyway...) There is a lot that happens in this book and yes you will laugh and probably cry, and maybe want to slap one of the characters silly, I won't say a whole lot more and spoil it for you, but it really is an awesome read. This author is one to watch. I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! First word in this book hooks you wanting more and you just started this hot read. Penny (Petal) has a very dangerous desire that she's not sure her Dom, Brandon can fulfill. She gets off on the extreme pain and he isn't comfortable fulfilling this type of pain. Penny leaves their relationship to find her Master and is severely abused and almost killed. As her next of kin, Brandon must decide if he can step up from Dom to Master to fulfill her need of pain. They come to an agreement that suits both their desires.
Brandon has a big heart and rescues Daisy from a horrible situation her and her son are in. His desire to help outside of the BDSM is what makes this character leave you wanting more. His partner, Matthew and him purchase a new club so I'm excited to see where this story goes with this new adventure (Onyx Room). Love that we will still see the story of other characters as well because they are truly family.
If you thought Filthy Desire was good, wait until read Dangerous Desires. The Onyx Club series is one of the best series for 2015 to read. Ready to be desired!

Book 2 of the onyx series. This author has by far become one of my favorites. These characters are so strong hearted and can be so sensitive as well. This is a story about friendships, ups and downs or relationships and of course he throws him some awesome scorching sex scenes too. there were so many emotions I felt during the read of this book. I can honestly say I cried four times while reading this book. How this author can take you from these relationships and the situations these characters go through to such emotion is outstanding.
This author has gutted me - in a good way. He speaks volumes to his readers and he really has no idea how much part of this book has hit close to home for me.
He really has a talent for his writing and I loved every moment of it. If you haven't read from him, your missing out big time. I look forward to more of his books in the future.
Thank you Sebastian xx

The way Sebastian Ex writes he is able to just suck you right in to the book from the beginning and it made me want to finish the book in one go. Dangerous Desire is a fairly short read and I was able to finish it in about ½ day with some timeouts for various things!
After Brandon doesn’t think he can give Petal (Brandon’s nickname for Penny) what she wants/needs Petal decides to leave Brandon to find what she is looking for, a master/slave relationship. Disastrous results happen and Brandon decides he will work on trying to give Petal the type of relationship she needs in order to protect her. I can’t say more because I don’t do spoilers.
Dangerous Desires is another VERY HOT book by Sebastian Ex. I absolutely loved the ending of Dangerous Desire! Of course I love my HEA’s! I am hoping that when Sebastian says that Carnal Desire is coming soon that he means REALLY SOON!
I was gifted a copy of Dangerous Desire for an honest review and I give Dangerous Desire 5 stars!
