This sounded like a fun read, but sadly fell down for me on a couple of points. Firstly, the bet doesn’t make sense. These three don’t know anything about the Middle Ages or chivalry, which is why they get a fourth guy in to help them, who none of them really like but manages to goad them into doing something they don’t particularly want to. For nothing but bragging rights. While he doesn’t even have to participate. If any of them had been interested in the idea it would have been different, but they aren’t, so the entire basis of this tale made very little sense to me.

Secondly, the characters. It’s not that I disliked them, but I didn’t love any of them either. Sammy is okay, but his domestic drama with his fiancée didn’t interest me much. Damian’s sudden obsession with Marcus wasn’t convincing considering his past – the switch was too quick. Landon actually grew on me as the book progressed, but it took a long time for his story to get started.

It wasn’t a bad read, but nor was it what I was hoping for. It’s easy reading and kind of cute, but slow to get going and the premise ended up being pretty thin. I was also left wondering why these three were even friends since they don’t seem to have much in common – or even like each other at times. Overall, I guess this one just wasn’t for me.

I voluntarily read a copy of this book through Netgalley. The story revolves around three men who enter into a bet, Damien will maintain a relationship with one partner, Landon will not live off of his trust fund and Sammy will agree with his girlfriends wishes for a period of two weeks. They each found a new perspective on their lives.

This was a little slow to start going but all in all I enjoyed the stories. They were put together well and were sweet
