Maggie Field was looking forward to a solo Christmas in her cosy London flat – before her three workmates decided to liven things up for her.
Maggie is prepared for a quiet Christmas on her own till at her work Christmas party she lets slip that she will be alone for Christmas and her 3 work friends spring into action to make sure Maggie doesn't have to be alone. They each invite her to spend some time with them over Christmas. Maggie agrees and looks forward to getting to know them all better. On the last day before the Christmas break Maggie boss tells her she must make one of them redundant. Frank, Jasper and Leo how can she choose.

Can Maggie find a way to keep her work family together and maybe find love at the same time.

I loved this a perfect feel good Christmas read. I loved the relationships that Maggie had with Frank, Jasper and Leo. This book gave all the Christmas feels. I loved Five gold rings last year so now Kristen Bailey is now my go to for a cosy Christmas read.

Thank you to Netgalley, Storm Publishing and Kristen Bailey for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love a Christmas romance novel and this story was so sweet. The side characters are just as important and integral to the story as the main romance characters which isn’t as common and something I really appreciated and loved.
I sometimes found the story a little slower and wordy, but overall it was the perfect romance to get me in the holiday mood!

Thanks NetGalley and Kristen Bailey for the arc! All thoughts and opinions are mine.

Buckle up for the first suggestion of a Christmas recommendation book. Here we have Maggie, a kindhearted and enthusiastic tech geek and head of an IT department in a company. Frank, an awkward but the type of guy you would have a good time reading about how he couldn't handle people at the wedding and made everything sound funny. Jasper, the grumpy posh boy with a lot of money (not really), is a sarcastic and kind, sparky guy who, for his payback, would crush a hunt in a family and is sarcastic, but in the end, you find it all hilarious and warm at heart, and Leo, the gentleman and super-reliable Leo, who you would feel warm toward because he would order a taxi for you to get home safe and will talk to you and spend time with you in a relaxing lake so he could create a place in your heart so you could fall in love with him.
The book is in the third person point of view and mainly is about Maggie, how she treats her friends, colleagues, or family in arms or anything. The four people earn a found family at the IT department to the point they have a sense of belonging, but everything stings when the company, instead of caring about all their efficient profits, decides to reduce one of them. The news hurts whenever Maggie, as a head, thinks about it and doesn't want it to happen, but at last she chooses the friendship in them and also the love she found in a certain guy who cares about her and stays to decorate their basement at the company for Christmas. Because she had in mind to spend Christmas alone, Leo,jasper and Frank decided to decide the holiday so Maggie would spend quality time with them and not stay alone. That worked like a wonder, and from Frank's sister's wedding, Maggie participated by sheer fun time as Frank's girlfriend, crashing a big mansion with Jasper and the secret they share to the calm and beautiful vacation at the lake with the person you start to like is everything. 
When I read about them, I felt like the author really did put something into the book; it seems wholesome and simple at the same time. The chemistry she has with her colleagues is genuine, and from the start, you can see the difference in how she loves the guys, like a family. She treats Frank unlike he's her real sister, who really acts insufferable, and how supportive she is for Jasper and how deep her feelings go for Leo despite her obliviousness for 4 years.
I like the book very much and give it 4 ,its not that the professional Shakespeare level of plot I give this rate. It's a good unique vibe that is in every corner of the book, and it makes it cheesy or bubbly. Also, I like the best part of the relationship, it shows and makes me eager to read it at Christmas AGAIN, and I never do that. I like the progress too and am happy how the author, instead of writing different POVs, decided to write third POVs, because I could grasp the majority by that, and I think by separate POVs it wouldn't be that effective. For all the purposes I give Christmas 4 to, and I think if you want a simple, squishy little thing, that's it for you. Also add a spoiler, we have fox cubs cute as hell too, as our three men.

This was such a cute, festive read! Full of humour, love and the key ingredient - friendship.

Maggie works in the IT department with fellow colleagues Frank, Leo and Jasper. But they’re not just colleagues, they’re the best of friends. And when Maggie finds herself faced with the prospect of spending Christmas alone, the three guys pull together to ensure that Maggie has a Christmas like never before, complete with rescuing baby foxes and bridesmaid dress blunders! There were so many funny moments that had me laughing out loud, but also so many touching ones too. The dynamic of their friendship group was just beautiful and I really loved all four characters.

Things start to change between Maggie and Leo this Christmas as they give in to long grown feelings and start to explore a potential new relationship. But with the threat of needing to make one of them redundant hanging over Maggie, will their friendship survive?

I just loved the sense of togetherness that shone through the book. It was heartwarming and authentic and full of emotion! It also has the perfect balance of fun and comedy and festive feels, a perfect book to read during this festive season!

Oh, i absolutely loved this book, it was so lovely, warm, cosy and heartwarming and i thoroughly enjoyed everything about it.

This author never fails to impress me with her wonderful stories and they always leave me with a happy heart and a smile on my face.

Once again(as with all her books) i devoured this one and very quickly turned every page until, all too soon it was over.

All the characters were wonderful, had great chemistry and i really enjoyed getting to know them all and becoming immersed in their stories.

This book definitely deserves a full five stars, it was such a feel-good book and a wonderful festive treat…..

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… Christmas? It may be, but by “most wonderful time of the year” I mean the time of Kristen Bailey’s new book coming out! For the second year in a row we’ve been lucky enough to get two new books by her and I sincerely hope this just turns into a new Christmas tradition, cause I can’t think of a better gift. 🎁

Maggie loves her job as head of IT at a financial firm, and her three geeky but lovable work buddies. And when they invite her to stay with each of them for the holidays, she can’t resist the chance to get to know them better. But then her boss tells her she has to make one of her beloved team redundant, and Maggie is distraught. With her career and her heart on the line, Maggie sets off on the Christmas adventure of a lifetime.

After eleven books (yes, I counted them), there’s not any doubt that Kristen Bailey does comedy and romance like no other. Her stories are always the perfect mix of heart, laughs, some innuendo and a little bit of spice (although this time the spice level is way down to what we’re used to from Kristen. Maybe it is because Santa is watching? 🤔). What I loved the most about ‘We Three Kings’ is that it was a complete and absolute celebration of friendship (especially a male-female friendship), friendships without any hidden agenda, just being there for each other through good and bad times no matter what. But this is also a rom-com, so of course there was some love in the air as well.

I feel like I’ve said this a thousand times (probably I have), but I adore Kristen’s books. From her plots to her characters and her sense of humor, they always manage to bring out a smile and lift up a shitty day. And the best thing is that she keeps topping herself and getting better and better. Is ‘We three kings’ a new favorite holiday read? Jury’s still out but, at least, is a tie with ‘Five Gold Rings’ (btw, Eve and Joe make an unexpected cameo here 😍).

The quartet of main characters could be renamed as the Fantastic Four. They were all so lovable. Watching their relationships develop outside the work environment and how new bonds were created between them felt like such a treat. They were the perfect definition of found family, and their adventures were infused with so much joy, love and kindness that I was so sad to see the story come to an end.

Our Three Kings, Frank, Jasper and Leo were all so great. They all had pretty distinct personalities, making them a really interesting trio. The author draws them with strengths and vulnerabilities, making them much more relatable to the reader. Frank and his awkwardness born from his mummy issues; Jasper and his bluntness, unafraid of speaking his own mind except when it comes to showing his true self to his family; or Leo and his all around good guy vibes, always paying attention to Maggie’s needs. They all felt like real people and I really loved getting to know them. The chemistry between them and with Maggie was out of this world! I hope we haven’t seen the last of them and we get to meet again in the future (if you’ve read Kristen’s books, you know old friends from other stories can make an appearance when you least expect it).

Heartwarming, witty, and full of warm, feel-good moments, ‘We Three Kings’ is the epitome of the Christmas spirit, so make sure to include it in your letter to Santa to get it in your stocking, under the tree, or wherever it is you receive your christmas presents. You won’t regret it.

Well, I just loved We Three Kings! It had me giggling right from the beginning and the smiles didn’t stop the whole way through the book. Kristen Bailey really has a knack for witty dialogue! I really liked our four main characters, IT departments colleagues stuck in the a dingy basement. Although they’ve worked together for years and all get along well, they don’t really know each other that well. That’s all about to change when instead of the quiet Christmas alone which Maggie is expecting, her colleagues decide that she will spend time with them and all their families over the Christmas period.

It was such fun reading about Maggie’s experiences with all three of the men: Leo, Frank and Jasper. From accidentally ending up a bridesmaid, to becoming a hunt saboteur, to stealing a donkey, it really turned out to be a memorable Christmas. Not least because Maggie and Leo are finally beginning to acknowledge the attraction between them. I did feel for Maggie who had rather a difficult dilemma to think about over the festive period which would have a profound effect on her team one way or another and potentially threaten their friendships.

We Three Kings is a brilliant Christmas read. It’s hugely entertaining, funny, very romantic and full of brilliant characters. Kristen Bailey has brought the joy to Christmas reading – this book is a real delight!

Absolute corker of a book - I love a Christmas novel and being the second Christmas novel that I've read by Kristen Bailey, it didn't disappoint.
Maggie works with three guys, all of whom spend a certain amount of time with her over the festive period so that she isn't alone. I loved all the characters, especially Jasper and the sub characters too added such a fun yet dramatic element at times! There is a crossover of characters from Bailey's book Five Gold Rings which is really heartwarming. The author's style of writing is so easy to read, good fun and awesome. Thanks to Net Galley for the advanced copy.

ARC Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Hailing from a small family, Maggie Fields finds herself with plans to spend the Christmas holiday solo. But when her three male workmates learn she will be all alone, they decide to take her in. With a full schedule, Maggie finds herself attending three very different celebrations. Will the holiday break bring Maggie closer to each of her coworkers, or will it drive a wedge between the tight knit group?

Kristen Bailey charmed me with this delightfully sweet holiday story!

We Three Kings is a romance, but I would argue the strongest example of love is that of philia and not eros. The relationships between the entire IT department; Leo, Maggie, Frank, and Jasper restored my hope in humanity. The four not only came together during times of need, but actively helped one another become the best version of themselves.

This book also contains:
-workplace romance
-fake dating
-friends to lovers
-holiday festivities
-laugh out loud moments
-found family

Special thanks to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and Kristen Bailey for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

I tried to get into this one but I couldn’t get my brain to connect to the story unfortunately. I sadly have to many books to get to I had to put it aside.

Es una historia muy divertida y emotiva. No hay spice!

Amé a todos los personajes y sus historias.
La relacion entre maggie y todos los personajes
me hizo llorar en un monton de momentos 💕
Y en partes la queria sopapear.

El final no me convenció, cute pero ¿? Rari. Me faltó amorsss
El epilogo tampoco, esperaba otra cosa..

Hubo un personaje que apareció 3 segundos dijo dos palabras y se fue , y aparentemente esa historia tiene su libro..asique ojala que el epilogo que yo esperaba en algun momento tambien tenga su propio libroo 🙏 y que "WE THREE KINGS" sea traducido al español!!

Kristen Bailey’s ‘We Three Kings’ is a heartwarming and delightful holiday story that explores friendship, loyalty, and the challenges of balancing personal and professional life, all set against the backdrop of festive adventures.

The novel follows Maggie, the head of an IT department at a large financial firm, who has built a tight-knit, supportive team of three: Frank, Jasper, and Leo. When Maggie shares that she'll be spending Christmas alone, her team steps up, inviting her into their families' holiday celebrations. However, a tough professional decision looms over her: she must decide which of her beloved team members will be made redundant just before the holidays.

One of the strongest aspects of ‘We Three Kings’ is how real and relatable the characters feel. Maggie, as the empathetic leader who goes above and beyond for her team, is easy to root for. Frank, Jasper, and Leo aren't just colleagues; they feel like true friends who genuinely care for Maggie, making their collective dynamic heartwarming and authentic. Each member of the team brings something unique to the table, from humorous antics to meaningful moments that deepen Maggie’s bond with them.

The romance in the story is sweet and uncomplicated. Leo is Maggie’s primary romantic interest, and their relationship is charming in its slow-burn development. This is a closed-door romance, with only subtle innuendo, which may appeal to readers looking for a more wholesome, low-key love story. The lack of drama or love triangles also ensures that the focus remains on Maggie’s journey of friendship and self-discovery, rather than on romantic complications.

In addition to the engaging character development, ‘We Three Kings’ delivers a festive, feelgood atmosphere that makes it a perfect holiday read. From fake dating at a wedding to sneaking selfies with a donkey, the book is full of fun, lighthearted moments that will keep readers smiling. The various holiday celebrations and adventures create a vibrant setting for Maggie to grow closer to her team, and the stakes of her difficult decision — balancing her professional responsibilities with her deep connection to her colleagues — add emotional weight to the story.

Ultimately, ‘We Three Kings’ is a celebration of found family, loyalty, and the power of friendship. It's an enjoyable, cosy read for anyone who loves workplace romance, friends-to-lovers stories, and heartwarming holiday adventures.

If you're in the mood for a feelgood story that captures the magic of the season and the importance of meaningful relationships, ‘We Three Kings’ is a perfect choice.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

I couldn't get into this book. I really wanted to. I love Christmas-themed romances, but this one just didn't catch my interest. I couldn't connect with the characters and none of the men sounded remotely attractive.

This was a cute Christmas romance. Not too much sappy romance, it was just right. And the plot was great and engaging. Characters were all likable. It was a really well written book and I will be definitely recommending this at the shop.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁: So fun! Kristen does it again, another heartwarming holiday story. If you’re looking for a fun inexpensive way to travel around England for the holidays this year, look no further. This story will take you on an adventure full of friendship, love, loyalty, mistletoe, selfies with a donkey and found family.

She is proud of the team she has built and the sense of family she’s created. So when the team finds out her parent are taking a cruise and she will be solo this year for Christmas they step in and invite her along to their family Christmas events. But right before she leaves for the holidays she’s called into HR and finds out her team will be cut my 1 member and she needs to provide who it will be by end of year….

We Three Kings is full of warmth and humour. I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud. I really enjoyed the banter between characters and could imagine being friends with Maggie. I also really like the blossoming romance between Leo and Maggie - I was routing for them! The aforementioned Donkey scene was my favourite and I loved Leo’s northern friends. As a Yorkshire girl I was very impressed with the on point dialect!

This was a fun holiday read! The main characters were all likeable and the story was very mellow and easy to read. I didn’t really like the main conflict much and didn’t feel like it added to the story. I also wish there was more romantic development. But I did really enjoy the overarching story, and I like the changes in scenery!

The hilarious Maggie has no plans for Christmas, other than sitting at home in her PJ's. Her parents have gone away, she is an only child and she will not impose on her best friends family affair.

Maggie enjoys her job until she is required to make one of the three kings redundant. Maggie is fond of her staff in the IT department and you can understand why she doesn't want to let any of them go. She is so conflicted with the huge decision.
The story explores the lives of each IT nerd. All likeable characters with various backgrounds.

I like how the author, Kristen Bailey, injects humourous plots throughout. They had me laughing out loud, literally.

Thankyou to #Netgalley and publisher for the free copy of this great book, #wethreekings in exchange for an honest review.

Great romance book by a great author. Loved the story and plot line. The cover is beautiful and will definitely read from this author again

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a Kristen Bailey. Maggie works in the it department and could be facing Christmas alone .

Her department take her in and she experiences Christmas with her team.

However Christmas is clouded as she has to make a decision about one of her team .

The festive holiday romance that you will need to curl up with.
