What a fun festive romance read.

The beginning was maddening, and you really feel for Eve, but that just made the end result even more satisfying. Yes it’s predictable, but that’s kind of what you want from this type of read.

Both Eve and Joe were such sweet, loveable main characters. Perfect protagonists for a cheesy Christmas ROM-com and perfect for each other. I loved that we got both of their perspectives.

The ring delivery antics were so chaotic and such a joy. I laughed out loud several times! Was such a great light storyline that allows you to fall in love with the characters as they fall for each other.

A well written, moving, witty and tooth-achingly sweet romance. A great read for the winter season to get you in the holiday mood!

Eve comes home early to find her boyfriend of three years cheating on her. As a distraction and favor for her bosses, she agrees to make some last minute holiday deliveries with a co-worker and embarks upon a very unexpected road trip. ❤️💍💚

This one surprised me! It was laugh out loud funny and surprisingly sweet, as each ring delivery allowed you to peek in on different couples in various stages of love. The story was chaotic and over the top at times, but in a way that still worked for me. I loved our MMC, Joe, and can honestly see this as a really fun movie akin to Four Christmases.

My thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for a complimentary advance copy of this eBook, out now.

This was my favorite holiday read this year. I loved the plot and chemistry between the main characters. I laughed and cried along with them throughout and read it very quickly.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy to honestly review.

The right book to jump off into the Christmas spirit!!! It was by far and awesome feel good, festive book with just the right amount of spice!! I wish I could do a reread honestly!! Maybe next Christmas!

Kristen Bailey's books are always filled with humour and a little bit of naughtiness in just the right balance, and that always makes for an enjoyable time reading.

I loved the dynamic between Eve and Joe and the adventures they had while delivering the rings were fantastic!

A lovely rom-com which I devoured and couldn't wait to turn each page.

This book was soooo good. It’s become one of my favorite holiday reads. It was so sweet and swoony and charming. It had me laughing and cringing and what a ride. 👏🏻 definitely reading more from this author.

4 star read. I had a few laugh out loud moments. I loved everything about this book. It was such a fun cute read. The ending was the best

Mr. and Mrs. Caspar's genuine concern for Eve leads them to enlist the help of their colleague, Joe, who secretly harbors feelings for her.

Bailey's writing effortlessly transports readers into Eve's world, evoking laughter, empathy, and a renewed sense of hope. The story serves as a reminder that even in the face of heartache, love and joy can be found in the most unexpected places. If you're seeking a heartwarming holiday read that will leave you with a smile, Five Gold Rings is the perfect choice.

A feel good book, it was funny in places and I liked the characters, would I say it was a page turner, no, but if you want something nice to read in front of the fire with a hot chocolate, this is the book for you.

This was very sweet but I'm not sure why it didn't land with me the way it did for others. While I found it funny and the ring concept was great, I just didn't feel the connection between our two main characters. And when you can't buy into that, it makes the romance element tough. That said, the comic elements are fun and I enjoyed reading all of the diffferent adventures with the rings. Many people will love this for Christmas read.

This was an interesting story line. I don't think I have read a book quite like it before. It did not go where I expected it to from the "incident" in the beginning, and that was a good thing. I'm not sure that I would say people have to read this story, but it was a step outside the normal tropes for those who are tired of the overdone holiday stories.

I would firstly just like to say a big thank you to NetGalley who very kindly forwarded me an arc copy of this book, for my kindle, in return for my honest review.

Five Gold Rings is billed as an utterly hilarious novel for anyone looking for a festive romance with all the feels and honestly this is a perfect description of it!

This book was absolutely hilarious, so so funny and literally had me laughing all of the way through!

It was such an easy book to read and i read it all in a couple of sittings as i just wanted to find out what was going on and how it was all going to end!

Such a heartwarming, romantic, funny, feel-good, Christmassy rom com and i thoroughly enjoyed everything about it…….

Five Gold Rings is a perfect easy read for the festive scene. It has the right mix of humour, compassion, and love, that demonstrate the real meaning of Christmas. I really enjoyed this.

I'm a sucker for Christmas comedies, and Five Gold Rings hit the spot perfectly. It was like reading Planes, Trains, and Automobiles if it had been a romance and they were delivering rings rather than trying to get home. There were strange sleeping arrangements, traveling antics, and so many laughs!!

Joe is such a ooey, gooey cinnamon roll of a guy and I loved the different ring deliveries (and obviously the naughty old French lady #iykyk)

Thank you, Storm Publishing and NetGalley, for the opportunity to read this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

"Never cry over a man, eat excellent cake instead."

I won't finish the full quote because a naughty old French lady said it, but it's so true. Poor Eve found her boyfriend of three years with another woman in their apartment, and she spends the next few days on a mission to deliver five engagement rings while mending her broken heart.

Along for the ride is Joe, her co-worker and a man who's had a crush on her for over a year. They are thrown together by their well-meaning employers who want to see them both happy and together.

Joe was such a sweet, gooey cinnamon roll who carted around his (often drunk) crush while fighting his own attraction. I love that he didn't push himself on her or even try to sabotage her relationship once he developed feelings. It showed how strong his character was. The fact that he had a part-time gig as a fit butler (it must be a British thing and it's just what it sounds like - amazing!) made him even more loveable.

There were strange sleeping arrangements, traveling antics, and so many laughs!! And if you've read Sex Ed, you'll recognize a few characters at the end. I may have screamed a tiny bit seeing them mentioned!!

unfortunately this book didn’t live up to the expectations i had. at first, it was amazing and i really enjoyed reading it - but it got quite boring as the story wove on for some reason but i did enjoy the christmassy ness of it and the way the romance sort of developed from friendship.

This is one of my favourite Christmas books, that I have read in a long time. Beautifully written, with everything you want in a christmas story. And to top it off, you'll be singing a christmas hymn, whenever you pick it.

This is a super cute festive read! What's a girl to do when she comes home to find her boyfriend in the shower with another woman and then finds the engagement ring he was going to use to propose? Well, if you're Eve, then you proceed to throw most of the Christmas gifts for his family and the ring out the window and then get drunk on the remaining holiday booze.

After that, Eve goes to the jewelry store where she works and where he purchased the ring. The store owners are a sweet older couple who are extremely supportive of her.They call her super hot coworker who happens to have a crush on her. The two of them end up on a holiday mission to deliver five rings for Christmas. Their journey is hilarious and filled with holiday cheer.

Five Gold Rings is a fun Christmas romcom and a fantastic addition to your holiday reading list!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Holy Hallmark vibes!! 😍
This is the first time that I have read anything by this author and I loved it. I loved the characters, the storyline/plot and the authors writing.
I went into this bool expecting a cute Christmas romance book but boy oh boy, this was so much more! (I may have cried a few times)
Eve finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her by catching him in the act. As if that wasn’t back enough…they were in her home!!! Oh and I forgot to mention it’s just days before Christmas 😱 (don’t worry, it’s okay to be angry lol)
You’ll love this book if you’re looking for a cute holiday read that will make you feel all of the feels from love, laughs, anger, and crying haha. Can’t wait to get my hands on more Kristen Bailey!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the Publisher for gifting me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
