A beautiful Christmas themed love story! Eve has just ended her relationship. She's always worked with Joe and they get along great but she's never thought of him as more. Then they get put on this delivery mission around Christmas Eve that makes Eve realize how special he was!

The characters are both lovable! The plot is funny and sweet. I loved it!

A cute, fun read. The perfect antidote to the heavy crime drama I read before it! It made me laugh and I really liked Eve and Joe. It also really made me wish it was Christmas!

If you're looking for a feel good Christmas romance, this book is it. Even though it starts off with the main female character Eve finding her boyfriend in the act of cheating, the adventures her and co-worker friend Joe get into while delivering 5 rings for Christmas make it wonderful. You truly feel the Christmas spirit in this book and it warms your heart.

A funny little Christmas rom com. Nice easy read to get you in the festive mood. Joe and Eve take you with them as they deliver 5 rings. Good fun

I adored this charming, Christmas themed rom-com from Kristen Bailey! After having her heart abruptly shattered, Eve and her co-worker, Joe, from a local jewelry store are tasked with delivering five last minute rings to customers on Christmas Eve. Fans of the author (that’s me - huge fan!) will appreciate the Easter eggs sprinkled in the book. Funny, touching, and sometimes a little spicy, this is a perfect holiday read, and I can’t wait until it comes out! Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC!

Book Review 📚
Five Gold Rings by Kristen Bailey - 4/5 ⭐

A cute, cozy, Christmas romance! This is one of those books you cuddle with in a blanket with at Christmas, it's the perfect time of year for it.

It follows the story of 2 people who are set to deliver 5 gold rings to various other people. Along the way learning about the problems they've faced in their relationships. A cute little twist being 5 small stories turn into a big overall ending for the two MCs.

It's different, not something I've seen before, but it was really quite touching and beautiful. The stories are so real life and seem like everyday stories, problems, relationships and more. It's reality in a book. Bailey has such a unique way of writing, and she managed to keep me hooked from the get go. I can't wait to read more from her.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for allowing me to read this ARC - this is an HONEST review from my own personal opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an ARC! I really enjoyed this story. When you're picking up a Christmas rom com, you're absolutely looking for a certain level of Hallmark cliche. This book delivers in the BEST way. The ridiculous tasks along the way were genuinely entertaining and fun to read. I love a dual POV story and felt that it helped us learn the characters very well. An overall great Christmas read!

If you love British humor, wacky, lovable characters and the joy of Christmas this is the book for you. What a delightful rom com reminiscent of the movie Love Actually this turned out to be.
Eve is coming off a horrible break up and needs a distraction to get through Christmas. She goes off on quest to deliver 5 gold rings all over London with her co worker and friend Joe. Mayhem ensues as the power of love prevails. This sweet love story is not as raunchy as Kristen Bailey’s books usually are but it is just as laugh out loud funny. I highly recommend!
Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Five Gold Rings was a cute book. I think it’d make a fun movie with all the little side quests the main characters had in it. Eve has just caught her boyfriend of three years cheating on her right before Christmas. She goes to her job at a jewelry store and in the midst of comforting her, her elderly bosses mix up some orders of cuff links and rings. In order to save Christmas for these customers, Eve and fellow co-worker Joe (who happens to be in love with her) team up to get the rings back to their rightful owners. Along the way, they wind up in some funny situations and Joe does his best to be a good guy and not take advantage of Eve’s heartbroken state.

Thanks as always to NetGalley for this ARC.

Five Gold Rings is the perfect holiday story. We follow Joe and Eve, two friends (but Joe would like to be more) who are delivered 5 rings to different customers on Christmas.

There are so many hilarious shenanigans that these two run into, but there is also a lot of heart in this story. I love a book that can make you laugh but also make you think.

This book should definitely be on your list for Holiday reads!

this book read like an extremely fun Netflix Christmas romantic comedy- full of hilarious, relatable moments and had Bridget Jones vibes! This is perfect for the holiday season!

Oh my god! This is one hilariously good Christmas read! I just loved everything about it, the characters, the season, just everything. Definitely one of the best Christmas books I have read! Loved it!

Fun Christmas themed book. I loved all the small stories in the big story. I recommend this book to get you in the Christmas romance spirit. Thanks NetGalley for the advanced copy. #NetGalley #FiveGoldRings

Kristen Bailey does it again! Thanks to #NetGalley and #Storm Publishing for an advanced reader copy of Five Gold Rings. I read her “Sex Ed” earlier this year and and laughed and cheered my way through it. “Five Gold Rings” does not disappoint. And for those readers who thought there was too much sex in “Sex Ed” (not me), you will be happy with the scaled back sexual attraction in this story.

Eve comes home hours early on December 23rd to find her boyfriend of three years with another woman. Eve is devastated. She ends up on a special mission for her employer to deliver five rings and some cuff links to customers over the next few days with her coworker (who is in love with her).

Ms. Bailey knows how to write humor. I was laughing throughout the book as the two main characters got caught up in a variety of bizarre and hilarious hijinks. This is a great story for the Christmas holiday, and as it launches in October, a perfect Christmas gift. I highly recommend this read if you need some gut splitting laughs and love the theme of friends to lovers.

4.5 rounded up. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this upcoming Christmas book. I didn't know a lot about the author going into it so I picked the book up on a whim and it definitely exceeded my expectations. I loved all the Christmas vibes throughout the story and all the heart felt moments. Sometimes when they switched between characters it would go back in time a little bit and say what the other character was doing during that time and/or their thoughts. Sometimes this confused me a little but once I understood what it was doing I found it to be a nice look at the flip side. Overall I'd definitely recommend this book to fellow Christmas book fans looking for romance and a good story.

This was a fun christmassy read! I loved reading about all the other couples stories behind the rings!

Five Gold Rings by Kristen Bailey is the most delightful book I've read this year!
I was hesitant to get this ARC from #NetGalley because I don't usually enjoy reading Christmas books so far before the holidays. But I am so glad I decided to read it early!
This is a wonderful tale of Eve, a woman wronged and heart-broken, and Joe, the man who has loved her from afar. Their quest to deliver five rings to customers of the jewelry store where they work not only features the story of her healing and their developing relationship, but features five other heart warming tales of the couples to whom they deliver the rings. As the two meet these couples and experience the drama surrounding their proposals/weddings, they learn something from each experience that helps them grow individually and as a couple.
The book is full of humour and love of all kinds, and keeps you turning the pages to the very end.
I'm so glad to have downloaded the ARC of #FiveGoldRings from #NetGalley! If you only read one Christmas book this season, it should be this one!

I had a hard time getting into this one. The story line was funny here and there but I didn’t really feel the chemistry between Eve and Joe as much as I wanted. I wished there were more chapters of them as a couple, even though she did just have a bad breakup with her ex. I don’t know, just something wasn’t hitting for me.

Overall, it wasn’t bad. It kinda reminds me of a Hallmark movie waiting to happen. The theme of Christmas with the rings would be great to read around Christmas time and maybe I would have enjoyed it more then. I did like the dual point of view so we get to see what each of the main characters are thinking.

I’m thankful I got the opportunity to read this one. Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the arc. This is my honest and voluntary opinion.

I loved Joe and Eve delivering the rings! They had so much fun and it seemed like they would become friends with every character they met! But I didn't love that we didn't get to see more of them as a couple.

Overall, this was a sweet Christmas romance that has a cute little Easter egg at the end!! If you're looking for a fun Christmas adventure, definitely give this one a go!!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book.
