Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
This was a great book and I'll be purchasing it for the library.

Hilarious! Kirsten Bailey does it again! Absolutely love everything she writes, has me hooked from the first page and hasn’t ever taken me longer than 24 hours to finish one of her books! The characters were well explored and enough info given to fall in love with them!

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

What a fun book! Filled with laughs, love, and light, this is the perfect book to curl up with a cup of tea and cozy blanket during Christmastime.
I will definitely be rereading it this season!

A lovely and well written romance, with realistic characters that felt very relatable.
I wpuld highly recommend it

I am SO LATE for this, but THIS BOOK y'all!
Eve & Joe were a delight to read, and their conversations were delicately sweet, and the situations they get into (particularly Joe) are simply hilarious.

Also, her upcoming book is giving Sex Ed vibes, and I can't wait to read it 💙

Cute premise! I liked the characters and the storyline, but it just felt a little repetitive to me in rehashing the FMC’s past relationship.

A very sweet Christmas read! This would make a cute Hallmark movie.

Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC.

This was one of my favorite holiday rom-coms of the season. It was fun and I just fell in love with the characters. A must for your next holiday TBR.

I really enjoyed this book. It was different than anything else I've read recently. I couldn't put it down! I will keep an eye out for this author's future work!

A great fast Christmas read. Good story and characters it’s books like this that make me with I was not a seasonal reader only. Good fun read

Absolutely captivating! This book exceeded all my expectations. Every page kept me hooked. A definite must-read for anyone who loves a good story. 5 stars without a doubt!

While the plot of this one was far fetched, it was a fun and heartwarming Christmas time read. The characters were lovely!

This was a very good holiday read! Read it in 2 days. Thank you for the advanced reader copy from Netgalley!

Kristen Bailey has become the Christmas author to look out for. I find the journey or adventure she takes us on with her mail characters very welcoming. This is probably up there as one of my favorite stories from her.

One Christmas Eve, Eve discovers that her boyfriend is cheating and the Christmas present was an engagement ring from the jewelry story she works at. When she goes to the store, her employers task her and Joe with fixing an error - five gold rings have been sent to the wrong addresses. Eve is tipsy, and Joe is dressed as an elf, but can the two save Christmas?

I thought this was so fun! Very ridiculous, but fun! The audiobook was good.

“Five Gold Rings” by Kristen Bailey
“IT’SSSSSSS KRIST(en)MAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!”
…and nobody should argue with the great Noddy Holder.
No matter the time of year, any upcoming new book from the adorable Ms. B is eagerly anticipated by readers – no more so than me – keen to plunge right back into the pages of the wonderful world she weaves for us. The days leading up to publication of her books are like the countdown to the festive season itself; full of expectation, hope and longing for the delights in store.
“Five Gold Rings”, the latest from the mishievious elf-like Kristen, hits every single seasonal note that you could wish for. It is a wonderful tale that would, I am sure, melt the heart of old Ebenezer himself – without the need for visiting ghosts – and set the old miser shouting loudly from his window:
“You boy! What day is this? Christmas Day? Well then, sod the turkey in the butcher’s window, here’s a guinea*, go to the bookshop on the corner and buy every copy of “Five Gold Rings”. Then deliver one book to each household in this parish!”
This is a joyous, warm, tender and, typically Bailey-esque, chaotic tale. Like the best mince pies, it is filled with goodness – a lot of it pleasantly fruity – that leaves you feeling satisfied and full of Christmassy cheer. Ms. Bailey has successfully navigated – like Rudolph and his big red nose lighting Santa’s way – that difficult route between over-egging the pudding and getting the mixture just right. And, like the ever-reliable, festive favourite Nigella, Kristen gets the recipe absolutely spot on.
Eve and Joe, the two characters we end up hoping and wishing the best for, are splendidly realised; not too twee, not too saccharine sweet. They are charming, delightful, poignant and funny. They are two fictional folk we can really invest in and root for. It’s a “will they, won’t they?”, “do they, don’t they?” ride across London as they deliver golden rings to various awaiting couples. Think of Eve and Joe as the Three Wise Men bearing gifts; only there are just the two of them and they have a green Mini instead of camels.
Like Joe, I fell in love head over heels for Eve. I wanted to comfort her, protect her and make everything all right for her. But, as you will find out as you read this tale, the path of love doesn’t always run smoothly.
As I was reading, I found myself thinking this is, perhaps, my most favourite festive read. It has all the right bits and bobs, just enough schmaltzy joy and seasonal trimmings. If this was a dinner laid out for you on the big day itself, it would be absolutely perfect.
I mean, come on! Who doesn’t love a Rom-Com? Especially at this time of year? This book is the pagebound equivalent of “Love Actually”. I am sure that “Five Gold Rings” will become a classic and much-loved festive read for many.
My Christmas wish is that the book gets made into a film. I have already decided who I think would make the ideal Eve on the big (or small) screen. And, I hear you ask above the sound of bells jingling and snow falling, who would that be? It is the super talented and utterly adorable Esther Smith; to my mind she would (to mis-quote a festive tune) be simply wonderful.
I found this book to be magical. Like gaily wrapped packages on Christmas morning, I tore through this book with gusto. My only quibble was, as with Christmas Day itself, it was all over far too soon and I now have to wait for my next fix of Ms. B’s delights.
And, the fabulous Ms. Bailey – any relation to George Bailey? – really made this “a wonderful life read” with the inclusion of my favourite Callaghan sister. Thank you, Ms. B!
Heck, how I do love Lucy!
So, if you have been good little boys and girls, and if Santa has brought you some gift vouchers, a book token or, even some of that old-fashioned stuff called cash, why not treat yourself – or a loved one? – to this delightful and warming Christmassy treat.
Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas to one and all.
(* A guinea may not be enough to buy every copy.)

Ooo I loved this book!! Such a great read by Kristen Bailey. The writing is excellent and I loved the characters stories. Must read!

I absolutely loved the plot of this book, I think it would be amazing to watch as a movie as well! This book had me smiling but also crying for Eve. Its a perfect holiday book, but I did find the chemistry between Joe and Eve to be a little flat and average. It's hard to believe that Eve would fall so in love with Joe that same night the love of her life is found cheating on her.

All in all, I enjoyed the book, but it was a little hard to take seriously at times!

Cute holiday read. I had a little bit of a hard time getting into it but once it got going I was hooked. The concept of the different rings and storylines associated with those rings is fascinating. Perfect little holiday romance.
