This book was more about Everly Wynn than it was about Wyatt Bell. I LOVED her and you knew she would have a great story. I loved her. A witty fun loving girl who has some in her past and the burning desire to have the approval of her parents that she is afraid to just be her and enjoy life to the fullest.... this is where Wyatt Bell comes into play. A hockey player, this makes him off limits in her mind, who lives life to the fullest and does not think about his actions. He just lives and takes whatever comes.... just what she needs in her life, maybe? maybe not.

They feel out their relationship in front of the media and find themselves really enjoying their company and maybe this could go somewhere. The question is, will they allow their past to come into play and ruin their future?

Third in the Wynn Hockey series, this can be read as a standalone, but there are so many family dynamics at play that I feel as if it does benefit the reader to have read the previous two books before diving into this one (that being said, I loved those books, so it shouldn’t be a hardship).

I love a good enemies-to-lovers story. Throw in some fake relationship drama and I'm all-in. The dynamic between Everly and Wyatt was great – especially once they got to really know each other and it was lovely to see how supportive Wyatt was of Everly's anxiety issues.

As always, Kelly Jamieson delivers a stellar hockey romance and I can't wait to read about the rest of the Wynn family!

Ms. Jamieson has outdone herself with this story. I love the care that Wyatt shows Everly as she deals with her issues. I love their interactions and their snark. I love the way the story seems to come alive and how it progresses into life.

Everly is moving on with her life after making mistakes when she was young. After living with her hockey playing brothers, the last thing she wants is to get involved with a guy in the sport. Wyatt is a hockey player but he is more than the sport he loves to play. He thinks Everly could be the right woman for him if she could only stop being so uptight. The sparks between them fly and will keep you reading until the last page.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Everly’s story and it was even better than I could have imagined.
Everly and Wyatt are two completely different people. Everly has to be perfect in everything she does, and Wyatt likes to live for the now.
They really shouldn’t end up being a couple, but I enjoyed how they brought out the best in each other. But what I liked the most was the whole anticipation of them taking a chance on something more.
Kelly is a standout author when it comes to hockey romance novels and hopefully I don’t have too long if a wait for the next Wynn book.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

Out of the Wynn Hockey Series Win Big is my first in this series, now I find that I need to go back and capture the series from the beginning. I enjoyed Win Big without a doubt, but I feel like I need the family dynamics from both families to truly enjoy the series as a whole.

Wyatt Bell plays hockey for The Condors, he’s a great asset to the team. Wyatt has his own secrets that has him living life like it your last day on earth, but will his secrets cost him the one person he lets into his heart? I enjoyed Wyatt so much, he might be a horn-dog, but he is a fun one.*smiles* He sure knows how to rattle Everly’s chains.

Everly Wynn is the elite princess to the Wynn dynasty. She works hard to prove to her parents she is not going to let down. She will not ruin the Wynn name. Everly had me wanting to give her a hug. Anxiety/ panic attacks can be devastating, as I live with someone who lives with it everyday. I applaud Ms.Jamieson for doing a great job, with describing Everly’s issue. Even when Everly struggling she was strong.

From their first meeting Wyatt and Everly were explosive both in a bad and good way. They’re such opposites that I was amazed at how well they balanced each other. Wyatt shows Everly it’s okay to laugh and enjoy life. Everly shows Wyatt that schedules are not bad thing, that they wont hurt him. Things turn interesting after a questionable photo turns up. Can Wyatt and Everly turn things around? Only time will tell.

Supporting characters are interesting and fun. You have the Wynn family inner disputes going on, them dealing with Everly’s fathers health issues all leads to some interesting discoveries. Wyatt’s relationship with Heather and her son Owen proves to shock me. The inter reactions with Everly and Wyatt has me having Ah Ha moments. Win Big’s plot is full of Family love, life’s struggles, secrets, romance, friends, love and add in fun moments and you have a wonderful read. I can’t wait to say what’s next from Kelly Jamieson.

Rated 4.5 Stilettos by Deb!

After Everly Wynn wakes up in Wyatt Bell's bed, she's torn between staying away from him or going with her strong attraction to him. And it's not one sided -- there's a definite spark between the two of them that has playboy Wyatt inwittingly falling for Everly.

When an online photo threatens to become a PR nightmare, the decision gets made for them both and they engage in a fake relationship for the media. Only their feelings for each other are real, and they'll have to deal with some past history before they can move forward together.

I have really been loving this series. There's a definite "dynasty" feel to it overall, and there's some great family drama. And the romance part hasn't disappointed at all -- Wyatt and Everly are both steamy and soulful with each other. And there's just the write amount of conflict to resolve to get their HEA.

If you are looking for a hockey romance series, I would recommend this series from Kelly Jamieson.

A complimentary copy was provided for review.

Win Big, is Everly Wynn's story. She is the daughter of Bob and Chelsea (Bob's second wife), sister to Asher, Harrison and Noah. The author thoughtfully provides a list of the family at the beginning, but this crew really needs a family tree.

Everly is the Executive Director of the Condors Foundation. She has a secret, alluded to but not revealed until the later part of the book, that has made her a worrier and thinks that she has to be perfect. Totally the opposite of Condor defenseman, Wyatt Bell. He has his own secret that has lead to his belief that life is too short and should be fun. He is drawn to Everly and enjoys pushing her buttons and verbally sparring with her.

Because he has become so popular with the fans, Wyatt is asked to be this year's Ambassador for Hockey for All. To avoid a possible publicity nightmare, Everly and Wyatt go on some pretend dates, but soon they are no longer pretend. Will their secrets prevent them from having a real relationship? When they are revealed as secrets usually are, will honesty help or hurt them? Aside from this, is the Wynn family dynamics and what is happening with Bob.

The author always creates fascinating characters, put in engrossing situations, making entertaining reads. The only thing that I don't like is the far left agenda, that she also inserts, oblivious that trying to push an agenda so some feel safe, makes others equally unsafe. Is that how hockey players really feel or just the author's "reality"?

Everly's story was everything that I was expecting and more!

Everly has found her match in Wyatt. Smart, sexy, witty and totally keeps her on her toes. But she doesn't see it even being anything more than a flirtatious friendship. That is until some gossip about Wyatt hits the newstands and in order to save some face for him, she decides to be his fake girlfriend to help smooth things over. Never did she think, Wyatt would be so hard to forget and walk away from.

The two have chemistry from the start but both hide secrets from the past that could end whatever this is they have going on, quickly. Everly is devoted to her family and her responsibilities that lay with it. Wyatt has the weight of taking responsibility for a past that still haunts him and one he can never walk away from.

This book had me in an emotional mess. I loved Everly and Wyatt together so much, but the ghosts from their pasts were pulling them in every direction but to each other. Not only was Wyatt flirty and fun, he was sensitive and seemed to really get what it was like to Everly Wynn, the daughter of the King of Hockey.

Love this series!

Win Big is the third book in a series by Kelly Jamieson, but it you don't have to read the other ones to read this one.

I've been looking forward to Everly's book, and I was not disappointed. I enjoyed seeing the relationship develop between Everly and Wyatt. I wouldn't quite call them frenemies at the start but they definitely didn't get along the greatest at the start.

I'm hoping to hear more about the Wynn family in the future.

Win Big is a fun romance by Kelly Jamieson. This is the third book in the series, and while it is a stand alone, I'd start with Play to Win if you can - just because I think you'd enjoy the book more if you've read the other books in the series first.

I liked Everly from the start and Wyatt is always likable too. He does have a little bit of a "player" attitude but not to a disturbing extent. I enjoyed their story and felt like they belonged together.

The secondary characters were well written and I enjoyed seeing characters from the past books in the series, as well.

I'd recommend this book to any fans of Kelly Jamieson or contemporary romances.

'Win Big' is the third book of Kelly Jamieson's 'Wynn Hockey' series and with each and every book this series becoming one of my favorite hockey series :)
Everly Wynn, aka Princess Wynn, is the director of Condors Foundation and since her father Bob owns the team, she tries her best to prove that she deserves the title. After the scandal she caused, she does everything to make her parents proud which in return she turns into a really serious and responsible person she is. She is always so prim and proper. At the beginning it felt like she was boring but thanks to this book, I get a chance to see another side of Everly that I really liked. New traits made her more relatable and likable. Wyatt Bell plays defense in California Condors. He lives my his motto: 'Life is short, and you go to live it to the fullest.' He is carefree, hot and a player. Or NOT! He hides behind his playboy mask and act carefree but the truth is so far from this persona he created. Since he is Lacey and Theo's neighbor, he frequently run-in to Everly and from the moment they met in first book, "Play to Win", they always find a reason to argue. It feels like it is Wyatt's life mission to get a rise out of Everly. I really enjoyed the banter between them. All that snark and sexual tension made it sizzling hot :) When they were just running to each other during social gatherings, this chemistry and dislike was easy to avoid. However, after they started to work together for a project, they both start seeing different versions of the person they knew. When they decide to give chance to explore their feelings, they slowly start opening up and share their deepest secrets with each other. As for me, I couldn't stop myself to root for their relationship and happily-ever-after.
Of course Wynn family drama is still on but finally young generation decides to dig deep and learn why the feud started so they can put an end to it. With the team effort they start to get some facts but I am really looking forward to see the all the reasons behind the drama. You can definitely read this book as a standalone but I totally recommend you to start from the beginning so you have more of an insight about the Wynn family. It was great to see a bit of the previous couples Lacey+Theo and Taylor+JP.
'Win Big’ is addictive, sexy, heartwarming, and so much more. Once you start, you won’t be able to put it down. I can’t wait for this series to continue. I hope next book will be Arya + Harrison's story :)

Would I recommend this book: Yes.
Would I re-read this book: Already did :)
Would I read future books by this author: Yes.

I love all of Kelly Jamieson's books and this latest installment of the Wynn series did not disappoint. I particularly enjoyed the repartee between Everly and Wyatt. Their barbs and quick wit elevated this romance.

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*

You really cannot go wrong with a book by this author #TRUST

Disclaimer: I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, but it does not influence my opinion of the book nor the contents of this review in any way.

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.

The Wynn hockey family is back and this time it is Everly's story. It had been a little while since I had read the previous books, so I didn't remember a few of the lead in storylines to this book. While any of these books can be read individually, they are meant to be read as a series and they build on each other. The Wynn family is large, so I anticipate a lot of books in this series. Everly works for the team's Foundation and Wyatt Bell is one of their star players. Everly and Wyatt are attracted to each other, but after a disastrous experience as a teen she has sworn off dating hockey players and really anyone. Everly suffers from panic attacks in her quest to be perfect which seems like a case of affluence to me. Wyatt is a bit of a playboy, with a soft side. He feels an obligation to his late best friend's wife and their son and spends a lot of time with them. Wyatt and Everly have a lot of baggage going into the relationship and at times you get annoyed, but stick with it and you will get a good story. I look forward to the next book.

My first read by this author but it definitely will not be the last! I enjoyed this story and look forward to more!

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 of, 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 pass 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.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
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 enjoyed the story between Everly and Wyatt. Their bantering is truly a type of foreplay, both enjoying it as well as being turned on by it. They are way too cute together. I liked how their opinions of each other changed from the beginning of the book as they got to know one another better. And as they learned things about each other, the respect, admiration, and care grew too. Even though Wyatt comes across as a fun time party guy, it is his love for not taking life for granted that really endeared him to me. Everly's love for doing the right thing and being perfect might be a little obsessive, but makes her be a better person. I wish their story did not end. I would love to have more of their future lives story.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

3.5 Stars

Win Big is the third title in the Wynn Hockey series. Whilst this title can be read as a standalone, I would highly recommend reading the two previous titles, to better understand the family dynamics and the intricacies that is the Wynn family.

Everly and Wyatt are complex, layered characters who evolve over the course of this title. They are both quite reserved and reticent when it comes to sharing parts of themselves, due to demons from their past that still burden them.

The banter between this pair is fun, flirty, witty and Wyatt in particular is quite charming. The sexual tension between this pair just oozes off the page.

I quite enjoyed this title and look forward to seeing which of the Wynn family will find their happy ever after in the next addition to the series.
