And Landon, who has always taken his wealthy upbringing and trust fund for granted, is given the vow of poverty.
Let the games begin.

Ugh, this one was a disappointment.
When I first read the blurb, I thought the premise sounded really interesting. Firstly, because I felt it would be nice to read a book that included both m/f and m/m couples, and secondly because I thought a story about three guys having to take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience (1 vow per guy) had the potential to be quite funny and interesting. I was wrong.
I didn't particularly like any of the characters. Actually, that's not entirely true. Landon (vow of poverty) was harmless enough and his story line turned out to be okay in the end - but only at the very end. Sammie (vow of obedience) and his fiancee were annoying and I hated the whole fighting over the wedding thing, and Damien (vow of chastity) and his sudden change from player to committed lover was totally unbelievable.
Then there was Bryce, the guy who forced these vows upon the three men in the first place. He does this in exchange for his assistance in winning a trivia night contest, but nobody likes him and it's never made clear why any of the guys hang out with him in the first place or even go along with the terms of the bet. Maybe because he's rich? Who knows.
The main thing that really bothered me about Knights Erring, though, was the wasted potential. In the right hands, this book could have been so much more. Had it just lived up to it's intriguing premise, this would have been quite a different review. It's a shame it didn't turn out that way.

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 really really loved this story. Loved the friendships, the different ways they were challenged, and faced those challenges, the way they each developed. This is a solid story, both the kind that makes you think, and the kind that leaves you happy, without being either too weighty or too saccharine. It's absolutely lovely, and I heart it completely.

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