Charlie and Peter are in their early 30's now and living on the French Riviera while Peter conducts business. Peter has an affair and Charlie
The portrayal of Charlie is what I found hardest to believe. In The Lord Won't Mind, Charlie is coming to terms with his sexuality. He's definitely the stronger (more dominant) personality.
In One for the Gods, he's so overcome with jealously that he makes a conscious effort to reverse their roles. He also believes adding a woman to the relationship will strengthen it.
As a straight female, perhaps I just can't relate. But while I enjoyed the story of the continuing relationship between the two men, I had trouble understanding Charlie's reaction.
