Such an adorable holiday romance. I love these characters, and their found family is honestly everything i ever wanted. The story is really good, and while i was expecting it, i love how it turned out. This is what life should feel like tbh.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review

A brilliant read, heartwarming festive and so enjoyable. Maggie works in IT and has the hard task of who to make redundant and who to keep on, poor Maggie is distraught. Can she find a way to keep her work family together, and maybe even find true love under the mistletoe?

An easy to read festive rom com guaranteed to brighten up the darkest winters day. With her trademark humour and skilled story telling the author draws the reader in and keeps them hooked to the last word. One for fans of Beth O’Leary and Sophie Kinsella

This was a great and festive read. I enjoyed the characters, and the pace moved quickly. Recommended for any holiday rom com book list!

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Okay, so yes, utter predictability lies within these pages. But you know what, I'm okay with that. I am okay with a story of a woman and three guys. They work together and one needs to be laid off. Only the girl doesn't want to make a decision who. All of them have good qualities and ALL of them are friends. One might be a little more than a friend.

So over the holidays, and the girl spending time with each one, we see how truly coworkers become your family. You see the messy and the hard and have all the fun. I mean this is me with all of my coworkers. What I do appreciate is that there is PLATONIC friendship between the group. There's no weird love rectangle. Instead it's coworkers supporting coworkers.

Yes it has a happy ending. Shocker I know. But in this day and age, I need happy and predictable and all the Christmas things.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a captivating read that held my attention from start to finish. The story was well-paced, and the characters felt real and engaging. I’m grateful to the publisher for providing an early copy—it was a pleasure to read!

Kristen Bailey is becoming queen of the holiday rom com. Last year I loved Five Gold Rings and We Three Kings was another cute holiday romance. I liked how she didn’t go for the typical brooding gorgeous hero…she picked quirky IT guys. The characters were real. Everything felt authentic and it made me laugh out loud! Precious holiday romance!

This is like the IT Crowd with romance. It feels a little toooo IT Crowd in places but it was still just about original enough to work. There are a few moments when I thought 'yeah that character would never do that' but all in all - a fun Christmassy read.

Maggie is the bright light in the damp basement that serves as the necessary but forgotten IT department at the company where she works.

What makes her job tolerable are Frank, Jasper, and Leo the three men who work alongside her. Weird, awkward, and delightful, these four people accidentally became family.

Finding herself alone for Christmas and resigned to a few days on her couch with snacks and movies, the guys take it upon themselves to include her in their holiday plans: a wedding with Frank, a family getaway with Jasper, and a few days with Leo up North.

Maggie agrees and finds the trips, the company of her coworkers to be delightful! She learns about each of the boys and their families, gaining insight she’d not had before which only strengthens their bond. Plus there’s the little fact that something is blossoming between Leo and Maggie.

But she’s ignoring the fact that HR announced to her that she needs to fire one member of her team by New Years, an impossible task.

Bailey writes the loveliest characters that you absolutely root for. Her oddballs remain relatable, the kids are scene stealers, and her found families feel like warmest hugs on a cold night.

I’m a big fan (Textbook Romance is a favorite for 2024) and this is a delightful holiday story full of heart and family and love.

WE THREE KINGS is my first Kristen Bailey book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story follows Maggie at Christmas as she spends the holidays with her three colleagues/friends and their families.
The family encounters were really cute. The conflict was a bit predictable, but didn’t fall into the typical miscommunication trope.
Overall, an enjoyable holiday rom com.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC.

Frothy, Warm..
Maggie Field was anticipating a Christmas alone in her flat. But then ,her workmates decided to change all that. However, Maggie soon finds herself with an impossible order to fulfil. A fun and festive cosy caper/romcom with a cast of well executed characters and a frothy, pacy and often madcap plot. Humorous, warm and affectionate, a feel good read with huge dollops of humour, friendship and relayed with empathy.

This was a heart warming story where an IT team support each other through thick and thin. Christmas, love, redundancy and the future are all in the mix. Great Story all the way through.

36 chapters of

☆ Relating to Maggie being all about food & cackling at the situations she gets herself into & just adoring her so much I want to hug!
☆ Leo, Jasper & Frank are the true definition of found family 😭🫶
☆ Teary eyed since the end of Part 4 🥺
☆ I knew Five Gold Rings would make an appearance, but FRANK & BEN from TBR?!
☆ Gemma gave Beth vibes & cute kids!!
☆ I'd do anything to see the last chapter on the big screens 🥹 the confession had me melting like snow 🫠
☆ The families made it a truly heartwarming read 🩵

I really enjoyed this book! It was nice to read something closed door from Kirsten Bailey! I think the vulnerability she was able to write out for all these characters is amazing and the Christmas setting gives it just the touch of magic that it needs! Really wonderful

[Pretty funny]

I've been approved by Storm Publishing to read this book and I found the blurb really fun, so I decided to give it a chance. Thank you for this!🤗

Maggie is leading an IT team of three men: Jasper, Frank and Leo. When they found out she will spend the holidays alone, they come up with a plan for her, to spend a day with each of them. But, just before the holidays begun, Maggie was announced that some cuts are needed in the company. That meant that she needed to part ways with one of her peers too.

Some great days were spent with each of them and amazing memories were made. Another kind of feelings begin to grow between Maggie and Leo, which makes it even more complicated for her, to choose who to keep and who to let go.

I liked that each man from the team got a separate part in the story. They were all so funny and I got super attached to them, making it hard for me too to chose who should get fired. Each of them had their issues when it came to their personal lives and were unique in their own way. I enjoyed how sweet and thoughtful Leo was . I can say that he is the one who falls harder for Maggie🤭.

I had so much fun reading this book, following their adventures from those days they shared together. All the characters played a huge part in the storyline and I loved everything single part of it.

Charming with a work twist...

Maggie is head of IT with a small team of Frank, Jasper and Leo. She will have to make redundant one of them. Ironically, she spends time with each of her co-workers and their families from different parts of England. A very cute and cozy (American spelling) holiday read, lots of festive cheer, but with a twist of who will she choose to make redundant. Friendship, a possible romance.
Recommend.

I absolutely loved Kristen Bailey’s Christmas novel Five Gold Rings, and once again she’s hit it out of the park with this one. I adore the way she infuses so many Christmas vibes and traditions, making it more than just a story set at Christmas. It’s so cozy and festive and perfect to get you in the spirit. I also loved this story and the characters she created. They were so wholesome and heartwarming, and the way they created a little found family was so sweet. I teared up several times at the way they looked after each other and I loved the FMC and how much she cared for other people. Just generally a feel good, festive, cozy read with lots of humor and laugh out loud moments. I hope she comes out with a Christmas book every year!

I hadn’t read Kristen Bailey before, but her books always popped up on my feed, so I decided to try We Three Kings. With its charming cover and Christmas setting, it looked like the perfect cozy read for the holidays—and I’m so glad I picked it up!

This story is packed with everything I love in a holiday read: friendship, romance, and a big dose of festive cheer. Maggie, the head of a small IT team, is set to be alone for Christmas, but her three quirky teammates—Frank, Jasper, and Leo—won’t hear of it. Each on of her friends invites her to spend the holidays with them and their families, giving Maggie a holiday filled with fun, warmth, and a few surprising adventures. The connection among these coworkers feels so real; they’re more than just colleagues—they’re chosen family, and it made the story that much sweeter.

Maggie’s journey with each friend is a hilarious, heartwarming ride. From a fake date at a wedding to chasing an escaped donkey on Christmas Day, her adventures had me laughing and rooting for her. And let’s just say that Leo, in particular, brings a lovely friends-to-lovers twist to the mix that adds all the right office-romance vibes.

There’s a bittersweet side, too—Maggie’s facing the tough decision of which of her friends will lose their job in the New Year. Watching her wrestle with this impossible choice added depth to the story, giving it real emotional stakes and reminding me how tricky, and meaningful, our closest relationships can be.

We Three Kings is a charming, cozy read that’s perfect for anyone in the mood for romance, laughs, and a bit of Christmas magic. Highly recommend curling up with this one if you want to get into the holiday spirit! Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC.

We Three Kings is a really great holiday read. This story is filled with friendship, romance and made me laugh out loud a few times. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.

This was such a fun Christmas rom-com and I laughed so much. Maggies has to figure out which of her 3 males workers to let go, whilst also deciding if she is catching feelings for one of them. I loved this so much and it reminded me a bit of New Girl and I am not complaining!
