Evelyn(h) meets Matt(H) in college.  He is her first love.  He proposes marriage to Evelyn with the stipulation that she never refuse him sex.  He will pretty much control everything Evelyn does. Evelyn accepts his proposal of marriage.  Fast forward 8 years.  Evelyn and Matt are still madly in love and lust.  Matt is now working as a Lawyer in a law firm.  Evelyn has always been a housewife.  They have no children.  Although Matt has always been very possessive of Evelyn his behavior becomes even more so.  He is simply obsessed with Evelyn.  Matt makes one very huge mistake and Evelyn starts to question and reevaluate their relationship.  That one mistake is the catalyst that begins the downfall of their marriage.  Matt is abusive to Evelyn, but this is all she has ever known in terms of relationships.  She loves him deeply.  His mistakes are devastating to her.  He is devastated by her response to his mistakes.  The relationship between Evelyn and Matt was very hot.  It is clear that they loved each other very much.  But love alone cannot always sustain a marriage.  A happy marriage cannot survive without trust.  Matt destroyed Evelyn's trust in him.  Although I was very angry at Matt's actions I really felt for him.  He messed up bad and simply did not anticipate how strongly Evelyn would react.  I enjoyed this book and how Evelyn and Matt's relationship played out.  The sex scenes were very good and sometimes disturbing.  These two are simply dysfunctional with each other.  The book ends in a cliffhanger.  I look forward to seeing how these two develop.  Will they make it together?  Can Evelyn make it on her own?  Will she find a different man to love?  How will Matt go on without Evelyn?  Can Matt learn to respect and support Evelyn as an individual and not his possession?  I could keep going.  I look forward to reading the next book to get the answers to those questions.  This is a 3 part series.  Book 2 is already out.  I will not be happy if the 3rd installment takes too long to be released.  I hate waiting.  This is why I rarely buy books in a series until all the books are out.  Yes, I would recommend.
