Description
In the final chapter of the bestselling epic love story of Peter and Charlie, the two men are forced to fight for their relationship like never beforeFor two men with the looks of Adonis and Narcissus, it's no surprise that Greece was the destination for a romantic getaway. Once there, however, the two men fall into the beds of others, with the duplicitous Martha striving to steal Charlie away from Peter after he has a moment of infidelity. For the final installment of the Peter & Charlie show more Trilogy, Gordon Merrick widens his focus on the couple to include the village in which they're staying, creating a web of deceit and lust that comes to a head in unexpected and satisfying ways, while the love between Peter and Charlie is tested repeatedly with the emergence of a passionate young man named Jeff. The bond between these two has spanned the years and the globe, but it could well meet its end here on the lush Greek shores.. show lessTags

This is the third book, after The Lord Won't Mind and One for the Gods, in the Charlie and Peter trilogy. As with the second book, I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first.
In Forth into Light, Charlie and Peter are now in their early 40s and living on a Greek island. They have 2 children with Peter's wife, Martha.
The first half of the book barely deals with Charlie and Peter's relationship. Rather, it introduces other characters, especially Jeff, a troubled teenager just beginning to understand his sexuality.
Charlie and Peter have an open relationship when it comes to women. This refers to developments in the second book in the trilogy. But when Peter becomes obsessed with a young woman (who admits to being gay), Charlie sets out to show more stake his claim.
As with the second book, I had trouble understanding the quirks in their relationship. They remained loving with one another, but each continues to have affairs. This left me confused.
But most confusing, I think, is the ending. For Charlie and Peter it's HEA with a reaffirmation of their love for one another and a commitment from both to stop playing the field. However, what happens to young Jeff is most upsetting. I really don't understand what the author what trying to convey. show less
