In It to Win It is HOT HOT HOT and some more HOT! I devoured each page with saliva slipping down my mouth for JP Wynn he is officially my new book boyfriend! The humor is great and the feisty of the heroin is even better! Loved this book!

In It to Win It is another must-read from Kelly Jamieson. It is the second book in the Wynn Hockey series and I would definitely recommend reading the series in order. We met both main characters, JP and Taylor, in the first book of the series (Play to Win).

JP Wynn is a hockey player trying to get back into his family's good graces. Taylor Hart is Lacey Wynn's best friend. She has heard plenty about JP - almost none of it good. The two have undeniable chemistry and I think this book does a great job exploring not only that, but also the friendship between the two main characters.

We see a lot of the Wynn family in this book, including Theo and Lacey from book one. I can't wait to read about the rest of the Wynns! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was excited to be able to revisit the Wynn Family in this novel. Having previously read Play to Win (Theo and Lacey's story), I had been introduced to the main characters of this book, JP and Taylor. If you didn't read Play to Win, In It to Win It is still a fun book to read, there is enough detail provided that you never feel like you missed something that might have been in the first book.

JP and Taylor was a fun and at times frustrating couple to read about. They meet for the first time at JP's brother Theo's wedding. They hook up, a little bit of chaos ensues at the wedding reception and this makes Taylor assume JP's all wrong for her. They have major chemistry each time they see each other (which is often since his brother and her best friend are married.)

This didn't seem to have the same charm as the other hockey books by this author. The hero came across as really immature. He kept talking about how he had to change but then never changing. The biggest issue I had was their breakup. One chapter ended and then in the next they were broken up. The flow of this book seemed to be much more staccato.

The Wynn Family may be one of my favorite Hockey families. Their family tree is a messy one (if you’ve read the first book and/or this one you understand). It definitely is not easy to be member of this family.
If you’ve read the first book, you may remember JP, you know the one who stole his brothers girlfriend? He is the black sheep of the family and though he is working on his relationship with his family still isn’t his biggest fan. Taylor was also introduced in the first book, she is neighbors and friends with Theo and Lacey.
When they see each other at Lacey and Theo’s wedding there is an instant connection and let’s just say their hook up is HOT HOT HOT! Their chemistry is through the roof. Of course, there is plenty of drama at the wedding surrounding them but they can’t seem to stay away from each other. They try to be friends, but it is a struggle and you can just feel the chemistry and the tension between them. Will the timing work out for these two to every be more than just friends?
I was not a fan of JP in the first book for what he did with his brothers ex, but he MAJORLY redeems himself in this one. There is so much more to the man. Yes, he has some control issues and tends to easily lose his temper, but he also has a sweet side and is super swoon worthy.
I loved every single moment of this book. I was completely sucked into JP and Taylor’s relationship I devoured this book in one sitting. I can’t wait for more of the Wynn family and for updates on Theo and Lacey and JP and Taylor.
For any fans of hockey romances full of steamy and family drama this is a MUST READ.

Wow, just wow! I'm loving this series by Kelly, and JP just became my new book boyfriend! 5 hockey sticks for this one!
Meet JP Wynn, currently not the favorite of the Wynn family, because he dated his brothers girlfriend, but lets just say, she told him they were broken up. But JP just sucks it up and accepts the label of bad boy Wynn. While getting ready for his brother Theo's wedding, he see's Taylor, single bridesmaid and sets his sites on her!
Taylor doesn't want a relationship right now, but dammit that bad boy JP showing her all the attention, she can't resist! And these two start off hot and heavy! Taylor was hurt by Manny, so does she really want to be involved with another hockey player? But she can't resist JP's charms!
Follow along as their story unfolds, can JP get people to see he's not the actual bad boy, and try not to fall in love with Taylor? Read along and find out!

JP, Theo's bad boy brother from the first book, and Taylor, Lacey's friend with the cute dog, have sparks fly when they meet and hook up during Theo and Lacey's wedding weekend. Then there's the fight we saw in the first book, which Taylor's ex starts. Some other misunderstandings follow. JP and Taylor try to resist each other but can't. Fun book, and I liked that it was set during hockey season. I enjoyed all the family members more in this book.

In It to Win It (Wynn Hockey, #2) by Kelly Jamieson....I am enjoying this series... thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for letting me preview this book. JP Wynn ( always the "bad boy" but doesn't want to be) Taylor Hart ( the "good girl" who loves life) Such fun catching up with the whole Wynn family and their conflicts. There are so many feels, laughs, tears, misunderstandings, angst and steamy talk and sex all getting us to a very HEA. I can't wait for more Wynn Hockey and I can't forget Bryon who wouldn't love him.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Romantic Happily Ever After Easy-to-read Informative Action-packed Entertaining Funny Steamy Page-turner Wonderful characters Great world building Tear-jerker

I must say I really enjoy the Hockey romance novels and this author writes them so well.
JP Wynn has been cast as a bad boy...the bad boy who stole his brother’s girlfriend away from him. Although we learned in the last book that JP was just as much the victim as Thèo. Emma screwed both of them over and almost ruined their family.
Taylor whom we met in the first book was dating Manny...Manny got traded and quite literally ghosted on Taylor. No goodbye, no hey I’m moving let’s call it quits...nothing.
So when Manny see JP and Taylor heading off for a quickie he gets pissed...which he has absolutely no right to be since he left Taylor. Regardless Manny attacks JP out of nowhere and once again JP is branded as stealing another guys girl.

I must say I was pretty proud of JP in this book...he manned up a lot in this, and never really got cut any slack.
There are so many points I could hit on from this book but doing so would spoil the book so I’m just going to say this:
I had an absolutely great time reading this book and I enjoyed it immensely. I also can’t wait to see what else is brewing for this family!
I also want to know if Grandpa Wynn actually stoke the money...what really happened there! I need to know!!!

J.P. Wynn is the black sheep of his family and that’s saying something. Considering his dad and uncle are suing his grandfather for stealing money and they all think his wife is a gold digger looking for a big fat payday. But even the two sides of his family can agree that him stealing his brothers girlfriend while she was still with him is crossing the line.

But that is all in the past and he’s made amends with his brother and is standing as his best man in his wedding. It’s at his brothers wedding that he meets this beautiful bridesmaid Taylor.

Taylor has sworn off hockey players after her ex just up and left without a word after getting traded. But a one night stand couldn’t hurt could it?? And so what if her ex is there and sees her flirting with j.p.. what she doesn’t expect is a fight to break out at the reception and she can’t deal with it. J.P. Just can’t catch a break and thinks that he fell back into his old ways by picking a girl who already had a boyfriend and can’t catch a break.

Never seeing her again is just fine with JP so when he shows up to his brothers place to eat some dinner he didn’t expect to see her there. After they clear the air about what went down JP thinks nows his time to strike and maybe ask Taylor out. But after hearing she’s going out on a date with someone else he backs off.

Deciding to be friends sets the course for most of this book with their chemistry an underlying thing that is building and building all throughout the book. When life happens and forces Taylor to readjust her perspective on certain things, JP is there to help her through it.

All the while their friendship is going on JP is taking some him time and working on improving himself. Trying not to react and get into any fights on the ice. But that all changes after they’re friendship turns into a relationship and he meets Taylor’s Ex on the ice and gets into round 2 with him.

Seeing the cause of him sliding backwards is because of his feelings for Taylor he breaks up with her. Will JP get his head out of his ass in time to get Taylor back? Or will it be too late and Taylor will have moved on?? You’ll have to read the book to find out.

3.5 stars

I didn’t read the first book so I don’t know all the family members. And boy are there a lot of family members, I was getting very confused at times. I didn’t want to keep going to the front of the book to see who was who, so that was kinda frustrating. The book started off hot and then there was really not much going on I’m the middle. It seemed like it took forever for JP and Taylor to get together. This was just okay for me.

JP is the bad boy of the Wynn family.. He plays hard on and off the ice and he makes alot of mistakes. He beats himself up when he makes mistakes because all he wants is to make his family proud of him. Relationships get in the way so JP just has fun

Taylor meets JP at his brothers wedding.. After some fun flirting at the wedding they have a one night stand but when one night becomes multiple Taylor starts to break her rule of not falling in love.

Lots of great banter with these two and it was fun watching their interactions

Can they realize that they are really what is best for each other? Loved this book

I really enjoyed In It to Win It, Kelly Jamieson’s latest installment of the Wynn family hockey series. The characters were likable and well developed, and the the plot was fun, with plenty of hockey to keep me interested.

JP keeps getting into trouble. He thought he was having a great time flirting with Taylor, a bridesmaid at his brother’s wedding, when suddenly someone punches him. He has no idea that this is Taylor’s ex boyfriend. After immediately having flashbacks to sleeping with his brother’s girlfriend, he feels terrible about himself for again going after somebody else’s girl. He doesn’t know that Taylor hadn’t spoken to her ex in months, and was happy to spend her time with JP until fists began to fly.

I really enjoyed this book, and the chemistry between JP and Taylor is hot, hot, hot. But there were a few plot points where it seemed as though if JP and Taylor simply had a conversation, everything would’ve worked out a lot sooner. Of course, this would not lead to a fleshed out romance with their entire journey to their happily ever after. JP was an intriguing hero, with a misplaced bad boy image. I liked his honesty about needing to improve himself and his own reactions before placing blame on anyone else. I really like these two of them as a couple, too, and absolutely adored their bonding over Taylor’s dog Byron.

I love the Wynn family and all their craziness. The details unveiled in this book just made me more excited to see what lies ahead for them!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such a great book. This book is JP’s and Taylor’s book. I have to say that I did not really like JP in the first book in this series but in this book he grew on me. He was such a sweet and romantic guy and he was only really looking for someone to love him and have someone love him in return. Taylor has had such bad luck with men. When she and JP meet the chemistry between them is hot. Their flirting leads them to a very hot one night stand. There is a misunderstanding and they go their separate ways. They keep bumping into each other and they decide to be just friends. The problem is they have this magnetic pull that will not let them forget each other and as hard they try to pull apart it keeps pulling them back together. The question is will they be able to stay connected or will things keep happening that keeps pulling them apart? Thanks Net Galley. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

Terrific sports romance

This book had a lot of heart. Generally the heroine has a aa bit more angst than the Hero, but in this one the Hero had the lions share. He was also the more likeable character. That isn’t to say that the heroine was unlikeable, buy I thought the Hero, JP Wynn the Hockey Star from a Hockey dynasty was a better character. Taylor, the speech therapist is a good person, but some of her reasons for doing things were silly.

The two meet at the wedding rehearsal of JP’s brother, Theo to Taylor’s friend Lacey. Both are in the wedding and are attracted to each other and they end up sleeping together that evening and again the following day. JP has some issues with his family due to the fact that his brother Théo haas always been smarter than him and held up to him as the perfect son. He has always felt that he can’t live up to the perfect standard that Théo sets, then a year ago. His family is now all angry with him for stealing Theo’s former girlfriend Emma (the one prior to Lacey). They all think it was awful thing for a brother to do.

Taylor had been dating a Hockey player named Manny, on the team Théo coaches until Manny got traded and ghosted her. However Manny shows up at the wedding and Taylor makes him Jealous of JP. No more spoilers, but JP works very hard throughout the story to better himself and though he doesn’t always do the right thing, he is a great guy. The romance is beyond steamy. The side characters are funny and entertaining. I really enjoyed the journey and the. Fact that JP was willing to do all sorts of out of the box things for a manly hockey player in order to try to work on himself, reduce stress and get in touch with his emotions. Great story.

The second book in the Wynn Hockey series, is FABULOUS!! I love JP, he is the underdog that you want to win. With everyone in the family, not liking him much, he still tries. He wants to not be the outcast because he slept with his brother's girlfriend, by mistake. But he still did it.

When he meets Taylor at his brother's wedding, he is all over her. He doesn't realize that she is the 'ex' of one of the other guests, and all hell breaks loose, another check against him.

Such a great story of overcoming your past and seeing that your future can hold the best things ever.

Kelly Jamieson brings us yet another winning hockey book with the Wynn family series. I love all the branches of that very large extended family tree she includes in the front of the book. This attention grabber is about JP who we got a good shot of in book one as the ne'er do well brother who has a bit of a short fuse on the ice, as well as getting a seriously bad rap by his family for a suspect relationship with his older brothers girlfriend. Poor JP just can't win. Although he's trying and has made up his mind do "do better." All the while his family never misses a beat reminding him what a bomb out he is. When he meets Taylor at his brother's wedding rehearsal, the two quickly form an attraction and Taylor does something totally out of character and ends up spending the night in JP's room. I liked the chemistry between the two. Taylor has a lot going on in her life at home, faced with some life changing moves that include finding a new place to live along with finding a new home for her dog, JP willingly helps her out and takes the dog! Oh man, did I love that dog. So does JP and he likes Taylor even more, so having the dog JP, smart guy that he is can see more of Taylor. JP really is a great character, he's a great listener lending an ear to Taylor as she works out her feelings surrounding her family. And despite things that happen on the ice, he really is trying harder not to lose his temper.
He gets some great guidance along the way from his brother and a couple unexpected family members as he tries to work through some of his issues and his feelings for Taylor. When the pucks up things with Taylor just a tad.... oh to be in that guys head.... just sayin'. How in the world is he going to fix things with Taylor? What is up with Everly and Wyatt? This is a must read in the world of the Wynn family and ready, waiting and anxious for the next book! Please tell me Everly and Wyatt are getting their own book!

JP overcomes his bad reputation!

Hockey player Jean Paul (JP) Wynn knows that anytime the Wynn family gets together something is going to happen. His brother Théo has forgiven him but when he’s around the rest of the family, things are a little problematic because he has a reputation with women.

J P is very attracted to Taylor Hart, one of the bridesmaids and sexy times happen before during and after the wedding. The relationship between JP and Taylor gets more serious when JP takes care of her dog when she has to move out of parent’s house, she realizes that there is more to JP other than a bad reputation.

In It to Win It doesn’t have much hockey in it but it has a lot of emotion for both JP and Taylor with what is happening in their lives that makes then grow as characters and that is the part of the book that I liked the best.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to leave an honest review. I have read many works of Kelly Jamieson, especially her hockey series. She has a great writing style (very few grammatical errors), keeps the writer engaged and adds humor to most of her books.

This book follows JP Wynn, the bad boy/screw up of the Wyn hockey family, and Taylor, a speech pathologist. Taylor and JP meet at the wedding of his brother and her friend; they end up hooking up the night before and night of the wedding. However, Taylor's ex sees them leave together and ends up starting a fight which ruins the wedding and causes tension between JP and Taylor. Despite their intent to leave each other alone, they keep getting thrown together because of his brother and her friend. When some family problems arise for Taylor, JP steps in to help and it brings them closer. However, Taylor starts to be a distraction for JP the changes he's trying to make to get his emotions under control on the ice and off.

Overall a good book and very well written. Was not my favorite of her books but still a fast and fun read. My biggest issue I think was how Taylor seemed to blame JP for things that were not even his fault. It all worked out later in the book but that annoyed me in the beginning.

So, I really enjoyed the first book in the series and of course, did not like JP. I was interested to see how the author would redeem him. It is safe to say that I now am on the JP bandwagon.. He really is trying! I think Taylot is a great match for him, her work is so admirable, and her love for family and her dog tugs at the heart. There are great moments of humor ( her first date with Anthony!) Christmas with Byron, knitting sweaters! A very fun book! I really appreciated it's message
