    About this audiobook

    “Obsessed… read in one day… One of the best romcoms I’ve ever read.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Five gold rings. Delivered to the wrong addresses. Five Christmas proposals and weddings ruined. Unless Eve can save the day…?

    As Christmas lights twinkle around London, twenty-eight-year-old Eve arrives home ready to celebrate her favourite holiday, only to find… her boyfriend in the shower with a pretty blonde.

    Heartbroken, Eve throws the gifts she’s selflessly bought and wrapped for HIS family out of the window, then heads to Caspars’ Jeweller’s, where she works, for some tea and sympathy. 

    But there she discovers another drama unfolding; five rings have gone AWOL, and unless she can track them down and deliver them to their rightful owners five perfectly planned festive weddings and proposals will end in disaster.

    Eve’s colleague Joe – moonlighting as a naked butler at a Christmas party – races to assist on her wild goose chase across London, dressed as a sexy elf.

    Together they set off on a mission to save Christmas. And along the way, just maybe, some of that festive cheer and romance might rub off on Eve and Joe, and help heal Eve’s broken heart… 

    An utterly hilarious novel for anyone looking for festive romance with all the feels. If you have a hot date with Love Actually every Christmas you will adore this gloriously funny and unmissable festive read.

      Very cute story ! The kind of book you wish you could read again for the first time
    • 4/5
      The epilogue was my favourite part. This book was a slow burn that I wish would have been a bit faster paced.
    • 3/5
      It was a cute story but it was a little slow for me in parts. I enjoyed the narrators.
    • 4/5

      I think this is possibly one of my favorite romance novels. Specially, during the Christmas time I have been listening to it during Christmas time. Other than the few F words that I always feel unnecessary , it’s a cute story well read and I loved it. Hope you enjoy it too.
    • 4/5
      Enjoyed this Christmas story. Was loving the narration, except the last 30 secs did not play. Darn it. Fun read for the season.
    • 5/5
      After her boyfriend's betrayal, Eve seeks comfort from her caring bosses at the jewelry store where she works. She joins coworker Joe, who's secretly in love with her, in delivering rings meant for Christmas proposals and weddings. Will the growing feelings between them lead to a rebound fling, or true love?

      These characters are lovely. The story is funny and heartwarming—a sweet holiday treat. The audiobook narration is fun and entertaining.

      Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
