A cosy festive read that is a. It different to the norm. I liked the different settings and events that Maggie went to and I did find myself snorting out loud several times whilst reading this. An easy read that is perfect if you want to switch off but still feel festive.

I loved this . 4 people work together and you follow their friendship at Christmas . Poignant parts, funny parts and moving parts.A great story. Told in 4 parts. The ending is not what you expect. A perfect Christmas read.

I was enjoying this one - Maggie was a likeable FMC and the 3 guys were engaging and fun to read.

However, I got to the 35% mark and something happened in the story that I pretty much hated. In addition, we were told about the event rather than it be in the story and that made me hate the scene even more.

Not going to finish this as the storyline (as mentioned above) was so cringy and it put me off the FMC.

Cute holiday rom-com with lots of angst and heart. The best part of this book was definitely the Three Kings of IT: Frank, Leo, Jasper. They each were uniquely wonderful and it was great to see each of their relationship with Maggie. They truly were like a small family and I could understand the difficult choice Maggie faced with letting one of them go from the department.

Leo and Maggie go through a friends-to-lovers and unrequited love tropes. I would have liked to see more of their relationship - the switch from friends to having feelings for Leo was kind of abrupt for me and I wanted to see how Maggie and Leo's relationship progressed from the friendship stage. It was like one day they were friends and the next day, Maggie was majorly crushing on Leo.

Overall, I would recommend this book if you are looking for something light-hearted with a huge family theme and lots of great banter.

Thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC!

Kristen Bailey does it again! I loved this book! I read it in one night. She is really good at writing Christmas stories. I appreciated that although there is a really good love story in this novel, that this is also a story about friendships and friends that become like family. Plus, there are some really funny parts too. I definitely laughed out loud a few times while reading this book.

This book was so precious. I don’t even care that I was reading a Christmas book in September.

We Three Kings tells the story of Maggie and how she shares her holiday season with her three coworkers who have become family. With Frank, she attends a wedding and defrosts his ice queen mother. With Jasper, she’s given a glimpse at how the other half lives, but is let in on a huge secret. With Leo, she’s surrounded by warmth and love, and a possible romantic spark.

But during this lovely holiday, Maggie has to make a decision that will upset her work environment drastically. I honestly didn’t see what was coming and I was pleasantly surprised.

The banter in this book was top notch, especially between Maggie and Jasper. The bromance between Frank, Leo, and Jasper is what male friendships should look like. Maggie was an incredibly endearing character, but maybe just a little over the top. She was caring and was able to charm the pants off everyone she met.

I’m so glad I read this. I can’t wait to recommend it!

I cannot say enough about the British humour! This is an absolutely hilarious story that
has something for everyone. I was rooting for everyone, and I adored the endings for
them. This is the most perfect Christmas holiday gift for your friends, and you must
get a copy for yourself.
My thanks to Storm Publishing via. NetGalley, for the download copy of
this book for review purposes.

Kristen Bailey does it again! As soon as I received this ARC, I immediately started reading and this book did not disappoint. It was charming, funny (without being over the top), heartwarming, and swoony-worthy. I loved getting to know all of these characters. Maggie works in the basement IT dept. as the supervisor of three very different, but wonderful men, Jasper, Frank, and Leo. They all agree Maggie can spend a portion of the Christmas holiday with them and their family since Maggie's parents were going on a cruise over the holidays. We were able to learn about each of the families and all of their dynamics (and dysfunctions). It made you love each of them even more and Maggie as she was kind and generous with them and their family members. I also adored the love story - friends to lovers is my favorite troupe and I think this was done perfectly. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone to add to their holiday reading lists! Thank you, Netgalley for the ARC!

While this is not a book for my students, it is a book for me and my friends. I love the theme of creating your own family with the friends you make, and this book definitely covers that. I was not sure how it was going to end but I am so happy with how everything turned out. I can relate in ways to these characters and it may for a fun read.

Thank you netgalley!

A wonderfully angsty rom-com. The characters are all quirky and endearing. The book s about friendships and love. Accepting each other as they are. I loved the camaraderie the coworkers had. We get to know each character and their families. It’s such a nice book. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
