Review: Filthy Desire (The Onyx Club #1) by Sebastian Ex

My name is Matthew Weston. Don't call me anything else, because I won't respond. And if you think you can get away with whimpering ‘Matt’ while I have you tied to the bed, about to devour you, it'll end up being your loss.
Men like me don't talk about feelings. We just don't.
What men like me do is pound. I pound the asphalt with my running shoes on morning runs. I pound a punching bag in the gym until my knuckles bleed. And when I need a release, I find a beautiful woman sprawled out on her bed, eagerly waiting for my cock, and pound her into oblivion. Yeah, that's me. I don't have feelings, and I don't do love.
At least I didn't, until the night Ella walked into my office looking like a disgusting junkie to interview for a position for The Onyx Club.
She was like no one I'd ever met before. She was timid, reserved, and quite plain with her mousy brown hair and dirty clothes. Ella also had a dark and haunted gleam in her eye. A secret, a past she was desperate to conceal.
And when she called me ‘Matt’ it didn't seem to bother me.
She came into my life and turned it upside down. The only question is, can I screw her out of my system, or will my filthy desire for her keep her by my side?

Matthew Weston is a player with a big ego.  He’s thirty-eight and gets his fill of younger women. He’s co-owner of a burlesque club, The Onyx Club. Life was simple for Matthew, it’s either his way or the highway, until he met Ella.  Although Ella is meek and timid, she challenges Matt from the beginning and she has caught his attention. Ella may have not been a ravishing beauty when they first met but Matt’s ‘Dom’ instincts kicked in and his need to protect.
Matt quickly takes over caring for Ella’s well-being. Ella slowly opens up to Matt about her past and the abuse she endured.  He provides Ella with a safe-haven and helps her rebuild her confidence. When her past comes back with a vengeance, can a Matt save Ella?
I enjoyed Filthy Desire and Matthew big ego being brought down to size by Ella. Matt is a big, bad, very protective Dom. He only needed to find the right person to protect and Ella was in need of protecting.  I really liked that the story was mostly written in Matt’s POV and I still clearly felt Ella’s emotional struggles.  This story did not disappoint. I enjoyed from the beginning to end.
