FIVE GOLD RINGS
by Kristen Bailey
Eve catches her boyfriend Chris in a compromising position in their shower and decides she's had it with him. It's Christmas time and all of the gifts they've purchased are under the tree. Eve starts pulling out gifts, unwrapping them, and hucking them out the window. Chris tries to protest, but Eve ignores him.
Eve gets a little tipsy and goes to Caspar and Sons, a jewelry store where she works because the owners are like family to her. Mr. and Mrs. Caspar call Joe in, he works in the jewelry shop part-time also and has a mega crush on Eve. They think that Joe might be able to help Eve.
Mr. Caspar has some last-minute ring deliveries to do before Christmas is over and asks Joe and Eve to take over for him. Then the adventure begins.
This is a slightly humorous Christmas novel, Eve is drunk throughout most of the book, and I didn't care much for that part. She should have bucked up and stood up to her trials. I did like that it was set in England and the unique way that their sayings are different from American sayings. There were some mental health issues in the book, but the book didn't get too in-depth with them.
I received a complimentary copy of #FiveGoldRings from #StormPublishing #NetGalley I was under no obligation to post a review.
