I read a lot of Christmas novels at this time of year but this one is my standout of the season so far, I adored it! I loved the set up of Eve catching her boyfriend in a compromising situation and then being helped through it by her lovely work colleague Joe, with a little help from their bosses. It's a bit of a madcap novel at times as the pair agree to deliver five rings on Christmas Eve and all the scrapes they get in to. It's very funny, a little sentimental and it's just so festive and cute. I highly recommend this one and I know I'll be re-reading this for many Christmases to come!

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this book. I'm a big fan of Kristen Bailey and this book was just what I hoped it would be- a fun, escapist, seasonal rom com. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

Another fantastically funny book from Kristen, brilliant characters & great story line which gave me alll the Christmas feels!
I could see this one being made into a film!

4.5⭐️

Eve catches her boyfriend of 3 years, in the shower cheating on her & then finds an engagement ring under the tree (bought from the jewelers Eve works at) which she proceeds to throw out the window along wtih all his fmailies gifts.

She then does the next natural thing and gets drunk on holiday booze and ends up going back to the jewelers to ask about the ring and get some support from the extremely cute older couple who own the store.

Throw in a hot part time butler in the buff who's had a huge crush on Eve for nearly 2 years and a mission to retrieve 5 gold rings and deleive them to the corrext people over chrismas and youve got yourself a genuine laugh out loud book.

I really enjoyed this festive read, and the adventure these 2 went on was so funny.

A very light-hearted book with the festive season feels. I laugh a lot and enjoyed the writing. It's my first Christmas book in years so, was definitely different.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Having loved ‘Sex Ed’ I was so excited to get a chance to see another new book by Kristen Bailey on NetGalley. So of course I instantly requested it and was not disappointed!

Eve loves the holidays so she was excited to celebrate with the love of her life. However, this changed when she found said ‘love’, and another woman, in a compromising position in the shower. Needless to say Eve changed her plans.

After ridding herself of said boyfriend, his belongings, including the wrapped gifts, Eve sought out the support of her caring employers Mr. & Mrs. Caspar. Not only do the Caspars own a jewelry store but they also fancy themselves matchmakers. Enter Joe. Joe has been in love with Eve for a long time. So when the Caspars send the two on an excursion to deliver 5 Gold rings, Joe gets his chance to spend time with his crush.

This was such an enjoyable book. Kristen Bailey creates such interesting and lovable characters. They are witty, sweet, and fun. I found myself laughing out loud and was engaged throughout. The adventures they went on were unique and provided even more fun characters, adding to the overall enjoyment of the book.

It is a special thing to find a book that makes you laugh, tear up, and hope the main characters find what they desire. I really didn’t want the book to end. Such a good escape from all the stress of everyday life. I absolutely encourage you to read this book!

Many thanks to Storm Publishing, NetGalley, and the author for the opportunity to read this ARC for my honest review.

I thought this book was such a joy to read, the synopsis immediately grabbed my attention so I knew I was in for a whirlwind with this one. It was fast-paced and had a great plot that really took you through the motions of Eve's relationship with her unfaithful ex and her workplace buddy-to-be Joe. This story si quick and sweet and just everything you want in a christmas love story.

What a lovely lovely read. I enjoyed this so much. It was funny, it was sad. Very well written characters. Nothing too fluffy just perfect really. I don’t normally read Christmas books but this kinda intrigued me and I’m so glad I did as I loved it. Thank you for letting me read this early.

This book was such a heart-warming Christmas read and I absolutely loved it.

This book is full of laugh out loud moments and festive joy and it was one that had me laughing and smiling throughout.

I really liked the pace of this book and felt it was the right amount of fast and slow, and the romance aspect itself was really great to read, that didn’t felt overly rushed or forced and was quite nice to read at the pace it was.

If you’re looking for a cute, romance Christmas read, this is the perfect one for the season and to get you into the festive mood!

I don't think I have read this author before but it was well worth doing so. A Christmas rom com with plenty of laughter along the way. 5 stars and a good read.

Thanks to Netgalley, author and publisher for this ARC

This one make me so sad because I definitely din not like this book.
I was so excited to read it and when I finally got to I lost all the interest in it.

Thank you netgalley for the arc 🫶🏻

After a mix up at the jewellers, 'Five Gold Rings' follows Eve and Joe as they venture around returning rings to their rightful owners. Their mission sends them in a range of directions; face first into festive celebrations, proposals and weddings - filled with plenty of comedic moments, romance, and a lil bit of heartbreak.

My emotions were all over the place, but in the best way. I was honestly kicking my legs and squealing at some points, as well as full on laughing out loud. I was left wanting... no NEEDING more!! The epilogue also?!?! Ahhhhh!!

I could honestly talk for hours about this book. I absolutely devoured it!! The perfect festive Rom-Com.
5/5

If you haven't already grabbed yourself a copy... do it NOW! It really is fabulous and threw me straight into the festive mood!!

Thank you @netgalley @stormbooks_co and of course @kristenbaileywrites for my gifted copy and for having me on this tour

Five Gold Rings is an amazing, fun, laugh out loud holiday read! Fans of Bailey's other books with absolutely adore this story.

The book switches between Eve and Joe's points of view. Eve recently discovered her boyfriend cheating is on the mend from the shock and breakup. Joe is a work colleague and has had a thing for Eve for quite some time. When Eve decides to throw out all the Christmas gifts she's bought for her ex, she discovers an engagement ring purchased from the very shop where she works. When Joe is brought in to help with consoling her.

This is another great book by Bailey. The characters are relatable and likeable. The story is solid and genuine, even if the breakup and quick to love bit happens pretty quickly. Most of all, Bailey has a wonderful way of bringing humor to her stories. It all combines to make a wonderful holiday read.

What a fun and fresh take on the holiday romantic comedy! With plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, an adventure to right the wrongs of rings delivered to the wrong addresses before Christmas is ruined, and a budding romance that will hit you in the feels, Five Gold Rings is utterly perfect and one of the best I've read in a long long time!

Someone call Richard Curtis please because this book just has to be made into a Christmas film!

After Eve finds her boyfriend in what can only be described as a compromising situation in the shower a couple of days before Christmas, she is naturally devastated. She gets lots of sympathy from her lovely employers, Mr and Mrs Caspar and an unexpected mission. Along with her colleague, Joe, who is still dressed (sort of!) as an elf from his other job, they have to deliver five gold rings to various people around London. Unbeknown to Eve, Joe is completely in love with her. I was so hoping he’d have the courage to tell her or that she would finally notice him.

Eve and Joe get themselves into all kinds of silly situations which really did have me laughing out loud at times. These involve an ice sculpture, family divisions causing havoc at a wedding and a very real nativity among other things. The places and people they had to deliver the rings to were all so different and all full of some drama or other!

Kristen Bailey has said that all the names in the book are connected to Christmas so I had fun looking for all those. I think I got most of the connections but am puzzled by Audrey…

Five Gold Rings is just so funny throughout although I did find myself with an unexpected lump in my throat on a couple of occasions. Never mind Five Gold Rings, this gets Five Gold Stars from me!

After finding her boyfriend in a compromising position on Christmas Eve, instead of the festivities she thought would happen, Eve is off on a delivery mission of wedding rings with her colleague Joe. Will she start to see him in a new light? A fun read.

What could be better than a festive friends to lovers book.
Meet Eve who comes home to make a shocking discovery . She’s soon picked up by her friend Joe and they find themselves on an adventure together. Lots of laughs along the way.

Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and it's well done here. Eve and Joe are part time co-workers at a small jewelry store. After a mix up, they are assigned to make five last minute ring deliveries on Christmas Eve. Eve caught her fiancé cheating and is a bit of a mess. Joe has always had a crush on Eve but realizes this isn't the best time to make his move.

The story is funny and sweet, with great side characters. It all take place in a day and moves fast. Highly recommend, it's a great read.

Five Gold Rings is a cute Christmas rom-com from Kristen Bailey that will get you in the holiday mood.

A real feelgood novel told from the viewpoints of Eve and Joe who meet working part time at a jewellers in Hatoon Garden. The premise is a little crazy but it works. You find yourself rooting for both of them throughout the story and the written style of the author is enjoyable. Thanks to Net Galley for the copy.
