This was such a wonderful novel. I loved it from the beginning to the end. It made me smile, it made me cry and it made me hopeful.

“Five Gold Rings” will have you laughing out loud as you read.

This book follows two POVs, Eve and Joe. Eve discovers that her boyfriend is cheating on her, while Joe is secretly in love with Eve. This leads to readers rooting for them to get together throughout this fun read.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for gifting me this cute story. I can’t wait to read more books by Kristen Bailey.

I wanted to love this one but I didn't feel the chemistry and I was not digging the MMC. He felt a little too stalker-y/obsessed and she like, just got out of a relationship. It didn't hit for me.

A brilliant read which I can highly recommend! If you want a light, funny , romcom to bring a smile to your face this is the book for you . I was rooting for Joe !

What could have been a disastrous Christmas saved by recently single Eve’s jewelry shop work friend when they go on a last minute adventure to deliver 5 rings before the end of the Christmas holiday. This was a lovely story of friendship and friends being there when they are most needed without being asked or even without being that close to begin with. The adventure and humor throughout the book was hilarious and I loved every second!

It took me a hot minute to get to this book but I’m glad to have finally read it as I needed a palate cleanser after reading back to back fantasy books.

This book is absolutely adorable, fun, quirky lil’Christmas read and would highly recommend giving it a shot.

Thank you NetGalley for the book.

A great holiday read, fun and an easy read – would recommend.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Love love loved it!! This is the best holiday Rom-Com I've read this holiday season. I seriously read this in one sitting because I could not get enough of it. It was so festive and fun, I just loved it!! I definitely want to reread this next Christmas. 6 out of 5 stars!!!

This was a new take on a Christmas romance for me but I loved it all the same an interesting storyline with adorable main characters and it was so enjoyable seeing how their love story would unfold

Christmas is a time for joy, lights, tinsel, celebrations and general excess. But when Eve walks in on her boyfriend in a VERY compromising position with his coworker, all joy goes out the window (along with his cell phone and any other of his valuables she can find). Even worse, this self-absorbed guy has already bought her an engagement ring (although not a great one) from the jeweler where she works. Eden ends up at work where the owners, Mr and Mrs Casper, decide to give Eve and another employee Joe a mission for Christmas as a distraction. Their mission is to retrieve and deliver five rings for Christmas weddings and proposals. Unbeknownst to Eve and the Caspers, Joe is totally in love with Eve.



What follows next is a trip around the UK delivering all the rings. While doing this, they each become part of these romantic gestures. All the while, Joe is still dressed as a sexy elf (his other job is a little spicy) and Eve is consoling herself with a bit too much alcohol. Can Eve let go of her past horrible relationship and see a future with Joe?



If you like Christmas romances, this one is just fun. I laughed out loud and became enraged at the ex and just thoroughly enjoyed this one. I enjoyed the Narrator and appreciated the accent. She brought the story to life. I gave this one a 3.5 out of 5 stars.



Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for providing a copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute holiday read. I loved the relationship of the MCs and their banter. It was a perfect book for a cozy winter night.

This was a fun and easy read - Eve and Joe were sympathetic characters and the story has some fun small plot twists as it worked its way to a HEA. There were a few moments that felt forced/contrived, but overall certainly still a cute Christmas read. Rounding 3.75 to 4 stars

I couldn't put Five Gold Rings down. It was sweet, romantic, lovable, and full of Christmas cheer. I cried tears of sadness, tears of joy, and laughed hysterically. Truly one of the best holiday books I've ever read. Kristen Bailey has made such a delightful read that I couldn't put it down! What a way to start 2024 in books.

Another very cute Holiday Read.. I just love these types of books. Five Gold Rings by Kristen Bailey, is the story about Eve and how Christmas is not going to be the same this year. How could it be? She came home early and caught her boyfriend (Chris) cheating on her. They had been together for 3 years and things seemed to be going right. She had one of the most realistic break downs I ever did read about. It was brutally honest and kind of funny. She rages against all the things in their apartment. She throws things out the windows, breaks things, takes a part things and finds what looks like an engagement ring, wrapped under the tree, for her. How could he do this to her? Why was he going to propose and then do this? As she leaves the house and goes to the jewelry store where she works. She goes there to get comfort from Mr and Mrs Caspar. They are trying to get the last things together for Christmas and call on Joe, another co worker to distract Eve. Joe and Eve are to get the last of the rings delivered before Christmas Day. It starts out rocky but soon they find a good groove. The two become a great team. And as each ring is delivered and the crazy circumstances occur.. things just seem to work out. This is an engaging, funny story. A story of. Christmas wish and of wishes you think you want and the wishes you get. The banter between the characters is so fun. Can these two save Christmas for the others? Can they save Christmas for themselves? Can these next few days turn out ok? This was such a good read, right up my alley. I want to thank Netgalley and the author for my copy for an honest review. It was an absolute pleasure to read and review this book. If a Romantic Holiday is your thing, this is the story for you:

I enjoyed the plot of this book, it was perfectly set around Christmas, loved the way they had a task at hand with delivering the jewelry. It was a great addition hearing the stories of all the jewelry deliveries. A storyline of the book I did not enjoy was how much she was drinking & the fact that he didn't drink. It felt like she was drunk the entire time. Overall i enjoyed this holiday read and would recommend to someone

Five Gold Stars for Five Gold Rings!

This book had me smiling and laughing to myself from beginning to end. I was so invested in Eve and Joe I wanted to be friends with them so bad, I LOVE, LOVE. This was the perfect Christmas romance.

Thank yo NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC!

This was one of the best romcoms I've read in awhile. With genuine funny bits, lovable characters and a romance to root for, it's everything I wanted.

I loved how this story wasn't exactly far-fetched but something that could actually happen in real life, giving you all the more reason to actually want the characters to end up together.

Literally everyone in this book was lovable (except for Chris) and fun to read about. I had such a good time with this book!

If you're looking for a clean romcom to read, I definitely recommend this one!

Thanks to #Netgalley for the ARC

A cute and funny lighthearted romance for Christmas. This is the kinda book you pick up when you just want to laugh and enjoy the story without having to think too far ahead for the plot.

“‘The shorts are very…’ ‘Tight? Can you see my…’ ‘Candy cane?’ he says, laughing.” 🤣

“There is something about coming back to places you know that can really reset your soul, that make you feel safe and happy.”

What does Christmas look like to you? A tree rammed with homemade decorations, a mantelpiece weighed down with cards, Mum telling Dad not to put the chocolate wrappers back in the tin, a festive film on television...

It should definitely not look like a naked woman on her knees noshing off your boyfriend of three years in the shower.

It’s Christmas Eve eve, and the holidays are not off to a good start for, er, Eve.

Warning: do not read this in a quiet area where sudden bursts of loud laughter would be disturbing. This book is legit laugh out loud funny!

Oh my I just adored this! It was the most precious Christmas rom com with both funny and extremely endearing characters. I rarely laugh out loud and this book had me rolling. I just loved it and I did not want it to end.

Thank you to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a super sweet holiday romance. The plot is a bit far-fetched but within Hallmark movie territory. I loved the build-up and the various characters you meet along the way.
