A nice, steady (albeit sometimes paced a little too slowly) rom com with a few literal LOLs thrown in. I will definitely be recommending We Three Kings as a reliable, cozy, contemporary romance for the holidays — I envisioned the entire story as a movie that played out in my mind,
between all the England locales that make the Christmas season feel even more nostalgic and majestic. Bridget Jones vibes in the best way.

*Possible spoiler*

I’m not sure if it’s a European vs US thing but Maggie’s fraternizing relationship with her subordinates was totally unrealistic based on my corporate experience in the states. And, not in a cute way but in a frowned upon, loose, annoying way. And, as much as I enjoyed how each played out, I didn’t love the personality of any of the three men. As a matter of fact, Leo felt whiny and undeserving of how the story ultimately played out.

Beyond my distaste for the characters’ flaws, I did genuinely enjoy the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to review an ARC of this novel!

We Three Kings was a super cute Christmas romcom. It had all the warm Christmas vibes and truly likeable characters. The plot was predictable, but it was still a fun read.

This was so magical and fun! The perfect holiday read that wasn't too schmultzy...if you read holiday books you know what I mean.!'
This was well written, engaging, fun and overall a great read!

I loved it! It was such a cozy read that it made me excited for the holiday season. I love the characters and their relationships, especially the banter. I would recommend it to everyone who likes lighthearted, wholesome stories.

This was a quick holiday read, I did find myself laughing out a few times. While I didn't find this book amazing, I enjoyed it enough. And Leo was my absolute favorite.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to be able to read this book. All thoughts are my own.

This is such a heartwarming and entertaining story of co-workers /friendships during the holiday season. It has a great cast of main characters, who were just adorable and showcased well.

I loved how Maggie had such a big heart and was so supportive and caring of her team, and they cared for her as well. The Three Kings - Jasper, Leo, and Frank - are all a bit nerdy but the sweetest guys who each have their own distinctive personalities that will have you falling in love with them.

The book is fast-paced and easy to read with some great laugh out loud moments. It's about friendship and loyalty and the things you will do for the people you love.

You will find :

♥︎ Found family
♥︎ workplace romance
♥︎ friends to lovers
♥︎ donkey
♥︎slow burn
♥︎ he falls first

It's the perfect city read to put in a festive mood

A charming Christmas rom-com that blends humor, heart, and holiday chaos, We Three Kings follows Maggie as she navigates love and workplace dilemmas, leaving you both laughing and cheering for her festive adventure.

'We three kings' brought a festive Christmas mood to my dark and rainy October.
Filled with wholesome moments, sweet characters and funny bits, it sure did make me feel very cozy and warm.

Maggie is a great main character and her three kings were the sweetest!! Loved each one of them!
The way they supported each other was just so nice to see. This book showed how little it takes to be nice to other people and how hard it can be to make decisions when you love someone.

Would've easily given this book 4 stars, but it was very predictable (at least for me). So I'm giving it 3.5 stars. Overall, this is a truly amazing and very cute Christmas book I would definitely recommend to my friends.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this ARC.

This is a really cute one! It is a "Hallmark Christmas" story. This is a nice, light read for the Christmas season.

Thank you to Net Galley for the arc!

So excited to read another Kristen Bailey book. Loved following Maggie along during her Christmas adventures, and getting to know each of her three employees a little better (and one even BETTER, wink wink). I loved exploring each character's family and traditions, sharing the things that we sometimes keep private at work. I loved Maggie's supportive parents, and her constant optimism to create a positive work environment and to do little things that have a big impact on those around you. Great read!

This is a perfect festive read! It's funny, heartwarming and a pleasure to read. I loved all the characters, they all felt real and you were genuinely rooting for them all throughout the book. I loved that Maggie spent time with Frank, Jasper and Leo one-on-one as it really showed their different characters and a little bit of each of their backstory. Each part of Maggie's Christmas adventure was really fun to read and I loved how her relationship with each of the boys developed. The romance was sweet and although it was clear from the start that they would get together, it was lovely to see their journey together. I will definitely be reading more of Kristen Bailey's books and would recommend this to anyone who likes a fun, festive romance.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this eArc in exchange for an honest review.

This is possibly my favourite Christmas romance book so far. I adored the banter and the friends turned family. I love how easy it is to read, each chapter gives you that "just one more chapter" feeling. Definitely an easy 5 star for me.

Some books instantly make you feel at home, and this one made me feel like I was snuggled by the fireplace, hot chocolate in hand and wrapped in a ( Christmas ) blanket. Kristen Bailey filled this book with humor and kindness and romance and fun!

Maggie and her co-workers Jasper, Leo and Frank are the work friends you dream of, as they idle their days away down in the IT Department. Their four personalities, all different and unique, end up meshing in that brilliant way that only forced friends can be, in that you suddenly don't know how these people could ever not be in your life. Which is a dilemma for Maggie as she is forced to choose one of her friends to let go by the New Year. When they hear that Maggie will be all alone for Christmas, they bandy together to ensure that she gets that same Christmas experience, by spending her time across the three friends festive celebrations. What follows is laugh out loud moments, true signs of friendship, genuine romantic sparks ( hello!) and a decision that Maggie has to make.

This was my first Kristen Bailey book but it won't be my last, as her writing and humor had me hooked from the word go, a truly lovely read that I inhaled in one sitting. The perfect festive read to get you ready for holiday hijinks!

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for an early arc in exchange for an honest review.

Such a good Christmas rom com! Love it so much! It’ll be a book that I recommend to anyone who wants an extra bit of Christmas spirit during the holiday season. The romance, and humor was perfect and I throughly enjoyed every minute I spent reading this!

I loved this book and and it definitely gave all the festive feels. When Maggie's team find out she'll be spending the Christmas holidays alone, they all extend invitations to spend some time with each of them and their families. Maggie gets to see a different side to them and adores them more than she did before. This is a story about true friendships, romances and making sacrifices. The characters were all so likeable and this was a heartwarming read.

This was another cute one by Kristen Bailey. Our techie characters were super fun. And I loved all the antics that happen as Maggie goes to Frank, Jasper and Leo's holiday events.
Cute characters, fun settings, a cute holiday read.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.

Having loved Kristen Bailey’s previous Christmas book, I jumped at the chance to read this one. Like her others, it’s warm and witty with wonderful characters. I loved Maggie and her team of “three kings”, and their adventures over the Christmas period.
It’s a lovely romance but more than that it’s a book about friendship and loyalty. The ending was never in doubt but getting there was a joy.
I’ll be first in the queue for Bailey’s next book.

🖥How to break up the four musketeers of IT?🖱😟

What a heartwarming and entertaining story with a definite Christmas vibe, four great principal characters and a raft of good secondary ones, too (including some rascally fox kits and a donkey). It certainly had me staying up to finish the story and learn if female lead Maggie could find the magic solution to keep everyone happy, including herself.

I loved Maggie and, as the story progressed through the Christmas holidays, it was easy to understand why her IT team of Frank, Jasper and Leo thought of her as a friend as well as their boss. She's so supportive, so ready to go the extra mile both on the job and when they invite her to be part of their holiday celebrations. This story has whimsy, warmth and a good slow build romance, plus the suspense of waiting to learn which member of the IT team would get a pink slip thanks to a sudden, just before the holidays, company decision to eliminate jobs. And I really liked that the author gave us pretty thorough dives into the lives and families of the whole of the IT crew, not just Maggie and her love interest.

The romance has some heat but I would not call it steamy, and hit just the right note for me. And to see Maggie's positive influence on and readiness to go out of her way to help others, the story was a bit inspirational too. A lovely read.

Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

Charming 🥰. That’s the best word to describe the characters, the friendships, the relationships in this book. I just felt like at any given time I could reach through the book and give Leo, Frank, Jasper and Maggie (otherwise known as the IT department) a hug. It was a sweet Christmas story about what you do for the people you love, and are in love with, and what they do for you. Plus a donkey, baby foxes, and a driver named Jesus all make an appearance to make things even more festive 😂

This was a sweet book with some really sweet characters, I adore a chirstmas book with a happy ending and a feel good outcome so this ticked all of those spots.
My only criticism would be how long the build up was, I felt like I really struggled to initially get into the story and was waiting for something to happen. I think it could be better if it was trimmed down.

Overall an easy read perfect for holiday season.,”
