Wynn Hockey #3
Win Big
When your name is Wynn, victory’s the only option...
Everly Wynn: As the only daughter in the Wynn family of hockey heroes, I never shared the ice with my brothers—or the approval they got from my father.
And that was before the scandal that ruined my life at sixteen.
Now that I’ve put all that behind me and built a successful career, the last thing I need is another hockey player in my life.
Especially one like Wyatt Bell.
He’s an arrogant, fast-living party boy. I hate how he gets by on his good looks and charm.
So why can’t I get him out of my mind?
Wyatt Bell: Life is short, and you’ve got to live it to the fullest. I learned that the hard way.
So on the ice, I always play to win, and on the town, fun and flirting are my game.
Because it’s better to laugh your way through the pain than to let them see you’re hurting—but I’ll never stop wishing I could find someone to share the real me with.
Something about Everly Wynn makes me think she could be the one.
But all she sees is a hockey jock hooked on good times.
If she didn’t take herself so seriously, maybe she would take a chance on being happy.

I’m sure I’ve said this about a Kelly Jamieson book before but... I think I’ve found my new favorite Kelly Jamieson book!
I absolutely LOVED Win Big!
From page one, I was in reader raptures with Everly and Wyatt. Yes, I remembered both characters from the previous books in this series, but I have no doubt I’d have felt the same coming into Win Big fresh, because they were so much fun—and had great depth. Their banter was charming, heated (with snark and sexual tension), and made them both so very, very likable, I couldn’t help but root for them to get together.
While Wyatt is grade-A book boyfriend material—every time I had to set this book aside today, I was thinking about him and wishing he was real and MINE—Everly was super relatable. I wish she, too, was real... so we could be friends.
Ms. Jamieson has been a favorite of mine for years, and that she’s still able make me giddy makes me, well, giddy. I can’t wait for this series to continue. (Maybe Heather? And one of Everly’s male relatives? Girl needs a HEA, stat.)

This novel follows Wynn ( a hockey player) and his romance with Everly ( the daughter of the owner of the hockey time that Wynn plays for). I have not read the other two books. I think for that reason it caused me to not get so emotionally attached to other characters in this novel. The romance was good and you can feel the angst between Wynn and Everly.However, i found myself having a hard time focusing on the story for the first few chapters. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. I wouldn’t read this book again. However, i thank netgalley for letting me have the opportunity to share my thoughts.

I have been fascinated by Everly and Wyatt for a while, the way Wyatt gets under Everly's skin so easily had me wondering why she disliked him so much. I wouldn't call this an enemies-to-lovers story but it definitely seemed that way from Everly's side....but remember there is a fine line between hate and love.
Kelly Jamieson is one of my favorite sports romance authors because she not only writes a great romance she writes about the sport as well. We get the ins and outs of Hockey from the players point of view as well as someone that works for the organization in this story and it was great. I always love the extra touches she puts into her stories and this one had a few insider elements that added to the overall story line in a positive way.

Win Big was the third book in the Wynn Hockey series by Kelly Jamieson. Although each can be read as a stand-alone, the characters are all further developed in each book; therefore, I recommend reading the series in order.
Everly Wynn. Everly was gorgeous, shrewd, independent, snarky and a force to be reckoned with. She was the daughter to the owner of the NHL team, the CA Condors, and she ran the Condor Foundation.
Wyatt Bell. Wyatt was a defenseman for the Condors and neighbor to Theo (book one, For the Win). We learned in other books that he not only was a gorgeous, skilled hockey player but he was also intelligent, sexy and humorous - the total package.
It was told from a double POV so we were able to dive into the thoughts and mind of both characters; yet, there was an air of mystery surrounding both. We knew something happened to them (individually - not as a couple) in the past, but Jamieson kept us guessing on the specifics until the latter part of the storyline. Jamieson also included a strong hockey theme as well as the complex and crazy antics of the Wynn family.
In the end, it was an entertaining read. Both characters were lovable and had some significant life lessons to overcome. The funny and sexy Harrison Wynn is up next in For the Win and I can’t wait!

It’s no secret I’m a fan of sports and family series. I love sports romances mostly because it’s a sure bet I’m getting a delicious alpha hero in the story and the family series always hit me in the #feels, which makes Kelly Jamieson a double #win for me with the Wynn Hockey series!!
Everly and Wyatt are all the good things I look for in fictional characters!! I loved everything about them, as individuals and as a couple. Their tension and banter were spot on and their likability meter was thru the roof! Their story made me feel like I could be one of their friends! Their journey was relatable and so much *happy sigh*

REVIEW: WIN BIG is the third instalment in Kelly Jamieson’s contemporary, adult WYNN HOCKEY erotic, hockey romance series focusing on the Wynn family hockey dynasty, owners and operators of the NHL’s California Condors, and the Long Beach Golden Eagles. This is twenty-seven year old, executive director of the California Condors’ Foundation Everly Wynn, and twenty-six year old, hockey player Wyatt Bell’s story line. WIN BIG can be read as stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary although I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Wyatt and Everly) WIN BIG follows the building relationships between is twenty-seven year old, executive director of the California Condors’ Foundation Everly Wynn, and twenty-six year old, hockey player Wyatt Bell. Waking up New Year’s morning in Wyatt Bell’s apartment wasn’t on Everly’s bucket list of things to do especially with Wyatt’s reputation as a manwh*re but one things leads to another and Wyatt finds himself the ambassador representing the California Condor’s in the Hockey For All initiative sponsored by the NHL. A night on the town together finds Wyatt the subject of a social media onslaught when a potentially damaging picture threatens his position as the face of Hockey for All. In an effort to clean up Wyatt’s image, the California Condors suggest Wyatt and Everly enter into a fake relationship, a relationship with will turn into something more. What ensues is the building romance, relationship and love between Everly and Wyatt, and the potential fall-out as Everly and Wyatt’s past stir up too many memories, threatening our couple’s tenuous hold on a potential happily ever after.
Everly Wynn struggles with demons from the past, so much so that it has affected her life, and every relationship going forward. Meeting Wyatt Bell stirs something deep within our story line heroine, something that is threatened when life and everything it has to offer rears up and takes hold. Wyatt Bell knows what it is like to struggle with one’s demons, a struggled that landed our hero playing for the California Condors. Falling in love with Everly Wynn was never in the plans, but someone from his past wants a chance going forward.
The relationship between Everly and Wyatt begins as a business arrangement turned fake romance into something more. Everly battles with their one-year age difference, a struggle that is as of a direct result from past experiences and the fall-out of young teen h*ll-bent on destroying her world. Wyatt’s reputation off the ice has preceded his introduction to our story line heroine, a reputation that Wyatt is quick to defend pointing out not everything is as it seems. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including the large extended and slightly dysfunctional Wynn family: patriarch Bob Wynn and his wife Chelsea; GM of the Condors Theo Wynn and his significant other Lacey; Theo’s brother and hockey player for the Long Beach Golden Eagles JP Wynn, as well as numerous brothers and nephews including Matthew and Mark Wynn from Bob’s first marriage: Mark’s son Jackson; Everly’s brothers Asher, Harrison and Noah.
WIN BIG is a story of family, secrets, lies and love. There is an ongoing premise focusing on the aging Bob Wynn that pulls together his large extended family from two marriages including sons, grandsons, and Everly’s adult nieces and nephews. The fast paced premise is engaging and entertaining; the characters are numerous, energetic and passionate ; the romance is seductive, captivating, fun and hot. WIN BIG is an inviting and character driven story of self-blame and heart breaking realizations.

There are some authors I read that consistently put out a superior product and Kelly Jamieson isone of those authors. Her Wynn Family series has been entertaining to say the least, but Win Big is by far my favorite in the series. It is sort of an opposites attract, enemies to lovers story, but it is filled with emotion, characters who have some baggage that makes them the way they are, and because a Wynn is involved, a whole lot of mixed up family politics. I found it impossible to put down and when it was over I wanted to begin reading it again.
Since she was 16 years old and made some bad choices that devastated her parents, Everly Wynn has strived to be a model citizen and daughter. She makes sure her behavior is above reproach and she doesn’t harm the Wynn family name in any way. To people around her she comes off as stand-offish, a bit of a snob, and unfeeling, but underneath she is a good person just trying to make her parents and family proud and live up to the Wynn name. So on New Year’s Day when she wakes up alone in Wyatt Bell’s bed and remembers they make out session from the night before she knows she has to nip it in the bud right away, Wyatt on the other hand has different plans.
You’ll I loved these two together, Wyatt is so full of life and lives each day to the fullest while Everly is all about work and keeping up appearances, but the chemistry between them…whew, so hot! Their verbal sparring is foreplay and they’ve been at it for a long while so it isn’t a surprise when it finally boils over into more. What I really enjoyed was watching the metamorphosis of Everly with Wyatt’s help and watching them both open up to the things in their past that has made them the people they are today.
The Wynn family drama really comes into play in this book and I was happy to see all of the kids and grandkids working together to try and put their family back together. I’m really interested to see how things shake out as this series progresses.
As for Wyatt and Everly, they have some fun, they get in a bit of trouble, they make some mistakes, and they have a few moments of indecision, but through it all it is evident they have something special and when they are apart they both realize just how much the other person makes their life better.
Win Big is simply spectacular, I was engaged from the first page until the last and I fell in love with this couple and their insane chemistry. Ms. Jamieson really outdid herself on this one, it is a Wynner!

When Everly wakes up and finds herself in Wyatt Bell's bed, she's horrified. Well, maybe horrified is too strong. Freaked out might be a better description. Because she knows better than to get involved with another hockey player. Especially a hard partying one who plays for her family's team. Sigh...
Wyatt isn't exactly the party boy his reputation leads Everly to believe he is, though. Everly isn't exactly the princess her reputation leads Wyatt to believe she is. Now if only they could get on the same page and realize they're more than their reputations. More than just the princess and the playboy jock. And if only they could just be together. Everly, the one who runs her family's foundation. Wyatt the one who plays for one of her family's hockey teams. Together, they could be special if only they'd get out of their own ways and allow themselves the love they deserve.
I haven't read any of the other stories in this series, and I could tell all the characters had serious history with each other, but I was easily able to get into Wyatt and Everly's story, and I loved it! It's sexy and entertaining and Wyatt and Everly are a great couple who just had a few demons to lay to rest. As hockey romances go, Win Big is pretty fabulous, and I can't wait for more of Kelly's take on hockey love.

Wynn Big. Oh, sorry, Win Big is a fun opposites attract story. The buttoned up professional and the life of the party hockey hottie couldn't be more opposite. She cares about image and he couldn't care less.
Their spirited arguements are foreplay. They're fighting it but for all the wrong reasons. In the end, though, both WIN BIG. Because love should always win!
Watch out for flying pucks and feelings. Kelly Jamieson made sure to catch you where it hurts with this Wynn story. I can't wait for Harrison's fall...or his next fall. Lol!

This is the third book in the series. For this one, we switch to one of the girl cousins. Everly runs the charitable arm of the hockey franchise. The family drama continues through this book. Things will make more sense if you have read the first books but you could read this as a stand alone as well.
Wyatt hides behind his playboy status. Everly wants nothing to do with him, until she starts to see him in a different light. She gets a chance to see the man beneath the facade. Meanwhile, Wyatt is very patient with Everly. That said, they didn't give all the feels like the other couples did.
I am still really intrigued by this family. I can't wait to see everything resolve while watching everyone else find their HEA. Not my favorite of the series but still a good read!

Win Big (Wynn Hockey, #3) by: Kelly Jamieson
Each Wynn Hockey novel gets better than the one before. In a family where nobody plays by the rules, how can you expect anything else. Jamieson packs a ton of drama into one unforgettable family and scores big every time. Win Big proves to be no exception. Everly is every bit a Wynn. She is not just a pretty face. She has the heart of a Valkyrie. In a man's world, surrender is never an option. A lesson she's learned the hard way and seems destined to never forget. When her heart does battle with her inner demons will the risk cost her more than her dreams? Sexy and sassy give unpredictable a bad name.

In this third installment of the Wynn series, we get to spend time with “aunt” Everly. She is roughly the same age as Theo and JP (the heros from the first 2 books), but she is the daughter of their Grandfather from his second marriage.
Everly is a slightly different heroine, on the outside she is calm, cool, and collected. On the inside she’s a mess and that mess is tied up in multiple issues from her childhood/teenage years. Everly is a prime example of “don’t make assumptions.” She is paired with Wyatt, a player on her father’s hockey team. Wyatt is a prime example of still waters run deep and a remarkable character to get to know.
I really liked Everly and Wyatt together. Both characters needed to grow emotionally and they are the unexpected catalysts for that to happen. For Everly, we also see growth in the family front as well as the romantic experience. It was nice to see rifts that we have been following for the two previous books start to potentially heal.
Win Big is a solid addition to the Wynn series. It is technically a stand alone, but the back story contained in the first two books supports this story and makes it much more robust. I am enjoying this series and curious about which of the Wynn’s we will see next.

My thoughts on this one feel like they are all over the place.
With this book I really liked getting to know Everly more, glad we got more than the straight laced person we have seen. Of course during the book we learned by Everly was so straight laced and it broke my heart. I hated that for 10 years that she had felt the way she does, instead of realizing she was taken advantage of.
I was sold on Wyatt for Everly. He came off as a good time guy and I thought Everly needed more than that in her life. Wyatt did know how to have fun and lived in the present, which Everly needed, but he had his own secret, one that made him relate to hers when both shared.
I found myself more interested in the Wynn family drama than the romance. I liked that the younger generation banded together and came up with a plan to fix their family, but the best was when Everly took advantage of a situation and called everyone out on their crap. That did more to fix things quicker than anything. Is it all better now, no, but things are well on their way and a concern has been brought out in the open and addressed, one that concerns them all.

I hated that for 10 years that she had felt the way she does, instead of realizing she was taken advantage of.
I was sold on Wyatt for Everly. He came off as a good time guy and I thought Everly needed more than that in her life. Wyatt did know how to have fun and lived in the present, which Everly needed, but he had his own secret, one that made him relate to hers when both shared.
I found myself more interested in the Wynn family drama than the romance. I liked that the younger generation banded together and came up with a plan to fix their family, but the best was when Everly took advantage of a situation and called everyone out on their crap. That did more to fix things quicker than anything. Is it all better now, no, but things are well on their way and a concern has been brought out in the open and addressed, one that concerns them all.

November 21, 2019You guys, I am BLOWN AWAY by the reader responses to WIN BIG! Thank you so much to everyone who has read and reviewed! This was a fun book to write and I'm so glad Everly and Wyatt have connected with readers!

Wyatt sure makes spending time with him quite enticing, “during the day. My evening is free. Come on, Everly. We can go somewhere nice and insult each other until we’re both so horny we can’t stand it.” I liked this book, I loved Wyatt.

This book hit close to home for me...Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease and watching a parent wither away because of it is horrible. That connected me with Evelyn in this book, I completely understood her pain and heartbreak.
Wyatt had his own demons he was dealing with as well and he was oblivious to what he was projecting by helping Heather. Unfortunately or rather fortunately Heather was very likable but I hated seeing her her hurt and I hope we see her fall for one of the other guys.
This was a great addition to this series and I can’t wait to read more...Harrison and the yoga instructor have some great scenes again and I want these two in a book together!

Enjoyable read!
They say opposite attracts Everly was very uptight and had to be perfect to the extreme because of a bad experience in her youth. Wyatt was the complete opposite outgoing, fun didn't care what anyone thought about him. This story was intriguing with a lot of interesting twist and turns. I would definitely recommend this book.

3 stars!
I loved my first book by Kelly Jamieson: Cross Check. It made me believe the rumors that Ms. Jamieson was, indeed, the Queen of Hockey Romances. She’s known for writing sexy stories with a sweet heat in them that just has you melting and I can say that was certainly the case in the books that I’ve read before.
But about this book in particular… Everly is in charge of the foundation that works with the Condors, the hockey team her dad owns and the luscious Wyatt plays for. After a bit too much bubbly, the book opens with her finding herself in Wyatt’s bed after a night of heavy make-outs and then Wyatt basically pestering her until she agrees for another date. It was a sweet, his cajoling her to dinner to explore the heat they clearly have with one another. Their chemistry was great, and highly enjoyable to read. But their banter was even more so.
When she finally relents, they go out and have a fantastically fun date where Everly lets her walls down. But after a … controversial picture of Wyatt surfaces after the date, the two are “forced” to date for the media to avoid any bad press, a trope you KNOW I love.
This one had two lovely tropes, two of my favorites in fact! A workplace romance, since they essentially work in the same location, even if she’s in the offices and he’s on the ice rink, as well as a fake relationship trope as they had to carry out public dates for the media to photograph and be aware of, even if they were hardly fake. The characters in this one were utterly fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know strait-laced Everly, even if she broke my heart sometimes, due to her sometimes-crippling anxiety, as well as the lovable charmer that was Wyatt. He was a huge teddy bear, and was honestly adorable.
“Dinner,” Wyatt breathes. “Thursday night.”
“I thought you were busy Thursday.”
“During the day. My evening is free. Come on, Everly. We can go somewhere nice and insult each other until we’re both so horny we can’t stand it.”
But other than the characters, I had problems connecting to this one. The tropes, for one, are some of my favorites. But they were superficial at best. Well done, but didn’t delve deep into the trope situations like I’m used to. I’m not sure it should count against the book, but it was something that caught my mind at several intervals.
This is the third book in the series, and it cannot be read as a standalone. The sheer amount of characters to keep track of was insane, and since I had no earlier connection to them, I simply wasn’t able to. There’s a chart at the beginning of the book to help, but I honestly didn’t see it until the book was over. It would have been helpful, because the author didn’t take the time to go through exactly how everyone fit into the story was much as she probably did earlier in the series. I didn’t understand how it was a “dynasty” family and how her father was “King of Hockey,” even if everyone of his family members was involved, he owned a team that, reportedly, had never made it into the playoffs.
The problems in this book seemed rather fabricated, as well. Wyatt is a real fun-loving guy, with a sunny outlook on life that is constantly l looking to live in the moment with a glass-half-full perspective. But we get hints of a “dark” secret of his throughout the whole book, and the whole Owen thing was just a bit … superficial. I feel that if we’d known the truth the whole time, it could really lent itself better to the story overall. We could have gotten deeper emotions than just throwaway sentences like “I’ve already let her and Owen down in the worse way possible” in Chapter Two, and not find out why until Chapter 18. And his reaction to the Everly situation just didn’t make sense to me, either. But that’s too spoiler-y to discuss. The family drama that she was having was good content, but I was too busy getting lost in the web of characters to fully enjoy it.
My favorite part of Ms. Jamieson books has always been the ice time!! Especially in Cross Check. The hockey games were a total highlight and gave the book that much more depth for me. They were my favorite part! This book didn’t have any ice time for Wyatt :( That was a huge oversight, in my opinion.
Overall, this was a perfectly enjoyable read, it just didn’t fully capture my attention the way I expected a Ms. Jamieson book to. I was there for the characters and the banter, clearly, but the rest I could have just left to the side, unfortunately. They left more questions than enjoyment for me.

Since I started this series, I've come to love the romance and humor in Kelly Jamieson's writing. Win Big is everything I expected and I couldn't put it down! I remember Everly and Wyatt from previous books and it was fun reading their story.
Everly is a character I wasn't really sure about in the beginning. At first, it's hard to know what she's really like. There is a whole thing going on in the family and she's kind of caught in the middle. In the previous book, I really started to appreciate her and her story! Growing up with brothers that play hockey and a father who runs a team, getting noticed was pretty hard. Since a certain event in her past, she feels the need to be perfect and that causes a lot of anxiety.
I really enjoyed Everly's character. Learning about her past really made me understand her way of doing things. Also, it was nice to see a character with anxiety. It's something a lot of people go through and it should be talked about more often! Seeing her with Wyatt really turned her world upside down and I loved seeing her let loose for awhile.
Wyatt seemed like the typical jock in previous books, but Win Big proves to us readers that it's not all that true. Yes, he loves the ladies, but there's a lot more to him! He's serious about his career and other responsibilites. A relationship isn't something he's looking for, but who knows what comes along when you're not expecting it!
Wyatt is definitely bookboyfriend worthy! I loved his personailty and he made me laugh so much. Even though he can be silly, he also has a great worth ethic and doesn't break his promises. There is another event in his life that changed him a lot and when we finally find out what, I understood him so much more! He has values that I appreciate and that definitely scored him some points.
Everly and Wyatt are a lot of fun together and the steamy moments were the kind I expected in this series! Their connection feels natural and there wasn't too much drama. Add the amazing characters we've met in the first two books and some family drama and this book had everything I wanted and more. I've really come to love the Wynn family.

This review was originally posted on my review blog Deanna Reads Books
I LOVE Kelly Jamieson's hockey novels. I have read every single one of them at this point, so I was stoked to get a chance to read this book early. I am really loving the Wynn Hockey series...but now I'm concerned this might be the last one??? I need to know if there is going to be a book four!
Anyway! This book is about Everly Wynn she is Theo and JP's Aunt...but they are close in age. (It's confusing, but it's explained). You don't have to read the other books, but I think it's more fun if you do because you understand the relationship with JP and Taylor and Lacey and Theo. I did really love that the bond between the three women is still strong in this one.
This one ended up being way more heavy and angsty than I realized it was going to be. I really felt for the struggles that both Wyatt and Everly have gone through. I especially felt connected with Everly. As a person who has anxiety and has dealt with panic attacks before, I so related to her struggles in that sense. And poor Wyatt! He has so much guilt. (I'm not telling you why! SPOILERS) I did really love these two together. I liked that he was a fun-loving guy who got her to not take everything so damn seriously.
Parts of this story was serious, especially when you find out why Wyatt has so much guilt and why Everly is obsessed with being perfect. Despite that, the love between these two were great! I really liked them together, and I was glad this book ends on a good note.
I still think In It To Win It has been my favorite of the series, but this one was also really good. I'm really curious now, is Harrison getting a book? Because I definitely senses some things in that epilogue.

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
This is the third book in the series, and whilst each deals with a new pairing, they are all interlinked and you definitely will understand the family dynamics and current issues best if you have read them all. If you like Hockey romances, then there is NO reason why you would not want to be devouring them anyway!
This time it is the girl of the family, Everly who gets her chance at love ... although she really would not have chosen to fall for a hockey player in her father's own team! Mind you when you work as much as she does for the team's charitable foundation, then it was probably inevitable. As we get to learn more about her as a person, and how much she has felt like a second class member of the family because she is not a hockey player, it is rather sad. Her mental health issues really aren't a surprise given the stresses that she places on herself.
Wyatt has a very different approach to life. And for some reason the serious, considered Everly sees behind the playboy façade and recognises that there is a connection between them, regardless of the problems which may arise.
I won't reveal more, as you should discover the goodness yourself! But rest assured it is a really good read!

I've been waiting for Everly and Wyatt's story and this gem did not disappoint! I love this family and this series from Kelly Jamieson. Come visit the crazy world of the Wynn family, you'll want to get to know these people and their little bit of crazy! Hockey! Did someone say hockey?
Everly is the girl who has always had to be perfect, her hockey playing brothers got all the attention from their Dad. Everly just wanted to blend in perfectly to the point of crushing anxiety along with panic attacks. Wyatt is the player who is "the" player. He's seen as a playboy, fun loving, live in the moment right now. And he has had his eye on the perfect Everly. We saw them briefly in the previous stories and I always wondered what would come of these two.
When they're thrown together because of circumstances Everly, dang she's a tough nut to crack, but Wyatt is just the man for the job. She thinks he's his reputation but soon finds out she's so much more. He also comes to see a different side of her and they both have some past issues that have made them who they are today. Gah, I loved watching their story unfold and also woven into the story a nice side dish of family drama, as always! Loved it!
I can't wait to see what she brings us next from very large, hockey playing, slightly kooky family!
Kelly is always a must read for me.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review.
4.5 stars
Everly Wynn is the only daughter of the Wynn family. And she has some issues that stem from when she was a teenager. Since then she has tried to be perfect but the anxiety from it all seems to be too much at times.
Wyatt Bell is a player for the Condors and he likes the ladies too. When he is near Everly they seem to spar. Their sparring matches are almost as hot as the heat sizzling between them. But Wyatt isn't the relationship type of guy.
With a potential PR nightmare coming for the foundation that Everly is the chairman, she and Wyatt pretend to date. But with all the dating their feelings begin to grow for real.
Can they make a real relationship work? Will Everly be able to tell Wyatt about her past? Can Wyatt tell Everly about who the little boy is and how he is related to him? Can they move past the pain of the past and make a future together?
I am loving this series and I think Everly and Wyatt are my favorite couple so far. Author Kelly Jamieson has a perfect way of telling a story that will draw you in until the end. I recommend this whole series and can't wait for more.

4 1/2 stars
Everly and Wyatt have only one thing in common, hockey. They couldn't be more opposite in their approach to life. Everly - be perfect, don't let anyone down! Wyatt - life is short, play hard! There is a lot going on for each character personally in Win Big. Their worlds colliding seemed inconvenient at first, but proved to be the best thing that ever happened to either of them.
I enjoyed the freeness in which Wyatt lived and how Everly evolved in the story because of it. I loved their sexy time and how they made the other feel. They may not have been looking for a happily ever after, but boy did I enjoy the ride while they were finding it! Wyatt's little buddy Owen provided a nice sparkle to Wyatt's story and I enjoyed keeping up with the rest of the Wynn family as they appeared in various scenes throughout the book.
As with other great books in the Wynn Hockey series, I listened to this audiobook. It was well-narrated as usual and I can't wait to listen to For the Win next, which is coming out soon!

Another winner! I loved this book and loved the characters. Everly is the good girl who has to be perfect - to the point when she has panic attacks when something is just a bit off. Wyatt is the playboy hockey player who thinks life is to be spontaneous and enjoyed. As an unlikely couple, there is still something that pulls them together. Then, when circumstances literally force them together, they are forced to face their feelings.
I loved the way Everly and Wyatt interacted and the peripheral stories in the background. They added to their depth and made them feel relatable and real. I found myself invested in their story and wanting them to get their HEA ending.
The author is on my must read authors' list. She is a great storyteller and has a way of mixing humor in with great characters to tell a story that makes you fall in love. Put this one on your must read list.

Big Win by Kelly Jamieson
“A hockey romance, 3 stars”
Okay to be completely honest I thought about not writing a review for Big Win. I am sure for Jamieson fans who have followed the Wyn family you will love Big Win. But for someone like me who just tried to jump in I was completely lost and I had some unresolved questions from the story at the end. In Jamieson’s defense she does have a little who’s who in the beginning of the book but honestly there was just too many of them to have to keep going back and forth.
As for the couple themselves I liked Everly and Wyatt. He’s super flirty and supportive. She’s a perfectionist. They balance each other well. I didn’t know though if she would be able to let her perfectionist mind rest and let her heart lead her when it came to Wyatt though until the end. If you take a chance on Big Win I recommend reading more Wyn books before jumping into the deep end like I did. Over all the story didn’t do it for me but it wasn’t bad by any means.

I am loving the Wynn hockey series ! Everly and Wyatt were all that and more.
They each have what they consider baggage but the attraction is undeniable. Everly is the as they say hockey princess she grew up surrounded by athletes and the spot light. She now feels the need to put on a front and appear perfect. Wyatt is the labeled quintessential player/bad boy but once you meet him he is so much more! They are sweet, funny, sexy, and trying not the show the real them but once they each see a glimpse of the true person that they are their is no turning back!

This wasn't my favorite book of the series - I'm not sure if it was the story or the narration. I really didn't like the male narrator of the audiobook, which took away from everything else. This book was about Wynn daughter, Everly, who manages the family foundation, and Wyatt Bell, hockey player for her dad's team. Both have baggage from their past, which gets in the way of a relationship. The book was okay, but neither character really made me care what happened, and the over-excitement of the male narrator as well as his voice when he read Everly's parts was so annoying.

Another winner from Kelly Jamieson. No one tells hockey romance like she does. A family saga, trouble with players and relationships. A lot of humor, passion, and sports, makes this a fun and quick read.
