In the follow-up to the gay romance bestseller The Lord Won’t Mind, Peter and Charlie’s marriage is put to the test when a young Frenchman enters their lives
After a decade together in a steady, happy relationship, a trip to the sun-baked Mediterranean is exactly what Peter and Charlie need. Peter, now an art dealer, and Charlie, an artist, travel to the Riviera to attend to some business. However, once there, they meet a man who pushes their fidelity to the breaking point—and past it.
In this, the second novel of the bestselling Peter & Charlie Trilogy, Gordon Merrick picks up with the couple’s lives a few years after The Lord Won’t Mind and in smart and scintillating fashion explores the ways the years can twist and warp a relationship. When their trip continues on a yacht through the Greek islands, Peter creates what he hopes is a good plan to mend their cracked bond, but instead may have created something that will rip them apart forever.

This story of Peter & Charlie's love relationship is just something I cannot get enough of. Maybe I hope to find this type of commitment and love for myself. Whatever the reason, I love these guys. I love Gordon Merrick for writing this series.I read this series when I was about 17 or 18 and to have these books back again, after over 30 years, is like finding long lost friends, for the first time, again.
Gordon Merrick has such great writing style and really builds the characters, so that they become like Real People, whom you empathize with and feel like you know them as you read the book.
I could NOT put this one down... I read it in 4 evenings before bed. Of course, they stayed with me throughout my days and will always be with me in my heart.
May all the Peter & Charlies of the world, be blessed in all things. I pray that I might find my soul mate, like they found in each other.
We are all looking for it. That's why this story is so appealing to so many people.

One for the Gods The Peter Charlie Trilogy Book 2 edition by Gordon Merrick Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I'm going to break one of my rules. Generally, if I like a book, I'll give it a good review to try and help create good buzz for the writer. But if I don't like a book, I will pass on doing a review. After all, who am I to try and railroad some poor struggling writer with my poison pen? Well, "One for the Gods" is long out of print and Gordon Merrick has been resting in his grave for 19 years. A negative review from me isn't going to hamper anyone's livelihood. The first installment of the Peter and Charlie trilogy, "The Lord Won't Mind," was enthralling fiction. The second installment, "One for the Gods," sadly misses the mark. After ten years of married life, Charlie and Peter are spending several months on the French Riviera on business ventures when Peter falls off the fidelity wagon and has an affair with a young Frenchman. When Charlie finds out, he goes a little berserk and their marriage is put to the test. He decides they should accept the offer of an American couple to join them on their yacht for a tour of the Greek Isles. Their romance is rekindled, but Charlie wants to change the nature of their relationship by opening it up to include liaisons with outside partners of both sexes. Peter makes this sacrifice to keep from losing Charlie, but that eventually backfires as well. Unfortunately Merrick has allowed his storytelling to sink to tawdriness. While the explicit sex in "The Lord Won't Mind" was essential to taking us into the world of discovery of young Peter and Charlie, in "One for the Gods" it serves no purpose but to transform the novel into cheap erotica. I hoped for the richness of the earlier installment, but was sadly disappointed.
If I could give it less than one star, I would. After slogging through an hour or so, stuff it in my library/collection "titles started and discarded."
Good reading
Wonderful book!Second time I've read it, last time was 40 years ago.
I can tell it was written early. Not enough action to keep me interested.
Believe it or not, the other two books in this trilogy actually have strong supporting plots. This one I found lacking in plot, but you know what? I'm picky. Most people don't read Merrick for the plot. I do because it provides a nice build-up to the [love] scenes, which makes them pay off more. But if you want, skip ahead to the [love] because Merrick is in fine form as usual. Highlights include when Charlie and Peter "switch roles." The plot may be lacking but the [love] souped up so it's still worth the money.
Merrick's 2nd book in his Charlie and Peter trilogy is a fine centerpiece. It is transitional, bringing forward elements of the first book and introducing us to aspects that will be resolved in the final book (or chapter, if you will). We get introductions to new characters and begin to realize a new depth to Charlie and Peter's romance.
Interestingly, One for the Gods also acts as a bit of psychotherapy for the Charlie character. We learn a great deal more about this beloved character and the layers are great and deep, and like an onion we get to peel them away.
No, there is no clear resolution in this book as it is a transitional piece. However, and I mean a big "however"...a new development takes place in this book that got my blood boiling and made me angry as $#^% at Charlie. However I did tear immediately into the final book in the trilogy to discover how Merrick resolves the situation.
I know that a story of two men in love with each other cannot be happy all the time, but !@#$%, I sure would love to see it happen a bit more easily than Merrick portrays it.... but then, I did read faster and faster to find out what happens next. So, grudgingly, I'll admit that rather than being critical, I have to say that the book delivers just what its author intended.
Read and read some more. You'll love it. The story delivers and heaven knows that the love scenes read in context will more than have you happy while you turn the pages. I think I took a couple of cold showers reading this one!
