My name is Nathan Stone, and I’m part owner of a BDSM club called The Onyx Room – and I’m not like any other man you’ve ever met.
I own the club with my two best friends, Matthew and Brandon. I’m the dungeon Master who runs The Onyx Room. Matthew and Brandon support me.
I’m also in love with my girl. Bianca and I have been together since the night she got in my car to sell me her body. She thought I’d take her for an hour to sate my carnal desire, but what she didn’t know was that I’d seen her before and purposely bought her to save her from herself.
Bianca needed more than a Dominant. She needed a Master. My name is Master Nathan Stone, and welcome to my world.

Theresa M’s Review: 4.0 ✩✩✩✩
Carnal Desire is the story of the third best friend in this series. You get to know Nathan Stone in the previous two books, but that only scratched the surface. You are introduced to his family, and you can see how his family influenced the man he is today.
Now, without giving any spoilers, this book was very tough for me to read. Please heed the trigger warning. Nathan and Bianca’s story deals with a very serious and emotional subject matter.
Like the other couples in this series, Nathan and Bianca are in a loving and committed Dom/sub relationship, but theirs is taken further due to Bianca’s needs of her Dom. Nathan is a Master. Bianca had a very difficult childhood, and has a hard time dealing with her past. She’s prone to bouts of depression and sometimes self-harm, but Nathan has always been there to guide her away from her darkness. Circumstances force Nathan to realize that he isn’t enough to help Bianca deal with her past and move on. He’s such a strong protector, he will do anything to ensure her safety.
Now, unlike the previous two books, Carnal Desire is a dark one. While I don’t particularly care to read dark books with certain subjects, I am glad I read this one. You can definitely see Sebastian stretching in his writing. He has such a great style about his writing.
I could see this story going in a few different directions, but in keeping with the character and strength of Matthew and Brandon in the first two books, there is dignity and compassion shown in this gritty tale.
This is the third book in the Onyx Club Series, and I can’t wait for the final installment.
I received this ARC for an honest review, and I give it 4 stars.

Tanya Rae’s Review: 4.0 ✩✩✩✩
I love Nathan and I loved the continuation of the Onyx Club Series. Nathan is the Dungeon Master and we have read a little bit about him and Bianca in the previous story Dangerous Desire. Sebastian went into more depth with Nathan & Bianca’s characters in Carnal Desire.
I have to say that when I finished reading this book I was left with conflict within myself. I want to say that I absolutely loved this book. But, the subject matter was a tough one. Lord knows if I went through even half of the stuff that Bianca did I would have major troubles too. I am so happy that Bianca ended up with a man like Nathan. I can see he really cares & loves her. I think that Sebastian Ex did a wonderful job writing about an extremely hard subject. I think that this is a book that you need to read for yourself to decide whether you are absolutely in love with it or left with conflicted feelings like I have.
Also, please read the WARNING: *Possible triggers, coarse language, graphic sex and adult themes.
I received a complimentary copy of Carnal Desire for an honest review and I give it 4 stars.

Excerpt
Bianca requires aftercare as much as she needs the sting of the pain. I clean her wounds, and apply a liberal amount of Neosporin ointment and let the wounds breathe. I then cover her up with the thin blanket and sit on the bed beside her. “Slave.” Her eyes flicker open. “Here you go.” I unscrew the water bottle and hold it to her lips. She automatically reaches out so she can take the bottle, but I lightly smack her hand away. “I’ll take care of you.” Bianca smiles, then puts her lips to the bottle as I tip it so she can drink.
“Thank you, Master,” she dreamily says before placing her head on the pillow and falling into sleep.
Walking away from the bed and to the opposite side of the playroom, I take my phone out of my pocket and call Matthew.
“Hey,” he says when he answers.
“Hey, I’m supposed to do an inventory check today but Bianca is starting to fall. We’ve just had a mini scene, but she’s out of it. Can you go in and start it, and I’ll be there in a few hours. I need to make sure she’s okay.”
“She alright?”
“Not great, but I’m hoping this time I can get to her before her mind fucks her over.”
“Dude, whatever you need.”
“Thanks, can you go in and start inventory?”
“Yeah, I’m taking Ella to see Debra her OBGYN, check the baby and make sure everything’s alright, then we can head in and start on it.”
“Thanks, we’ll be there before the club opens, but I just can’t get there for a couple of hours.”
“Yeah, man, don’t worry yourself. I’ve got it covered, look after your girl.”
