Five Gold Rings by Kristen Bailey
4.0

Thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for this free ebook in exchange for my honest review.

This book has put me in my Christmas rom-com reading era. It was such a feel good book that had me smiling and feeling like I was watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. This was my first Christmas book of the year and now I am excited to read some more.

In this book we meet Eve and Joe. It's a he falls first (which I love) and a friends to lovers (which I also love) romance. They both work for a jewelry story and due to a mix up have to deliver 5 rings before Christmas. I loved reading about the various deliveries and the funny antics that ensue. I often found myself laughing out loud.

It is told in duel POV. There is no spice and it is a bit of a slow burn for the main characters to express their feelings, but it is such a fun and feel good story. I was totally rooting for Eve and Joe, even though Eve just got out of a 3 year relationship. I kept wondering how they would realize they BOTH had feelings for each other. It kept me intrigued and wanting to continue to read way past my bedtime.

I have never read anything by this author but would give her other books. a try. This book did have vocabulary I was unfamiliar with since the setting was in London, but it didn't affect my ability to love this book.
