Win Big by Kelly Jamieson was such a great read!

Everly Wynn only daughter in the Wynn family hockey dynasty and runs their charitable  foundation arm. Wyatt Bell is the kind of man Everly has tried to avoid her whole life... what she sees as an arrogant party boy NHL'er.


Everly takes everything in her life so seriously, it was wonderful to see Wyatt's influence allowing her toenjoy life.  And I adored the slow unravel of "the why" she is so serious when we meet her.


The use of Everly mental health was spot on! And Wyatt's compassion bleed off the pages.


It is very clear to the reader that these two belong together.... though I did want more of them together at the end.... full disclosure I am big like huge fan of the epilogue so I hope we see more of these two in the next book.


I adore this series about the Wynn hockey dynasty and I am so excited for more from this series and excited for For The Win next!

I do think this book reads better as part of series; specially as the elements of the family conflict continue to build from book to book.

 I am looking forward to more family dynamics (insert drama) as this comes to a conclusion.

4.5 stars

I am loving this series more and more with each book. I know the fake dating thing has been done but this one has its own spin. Everly has been trying to fight her attraction to Wyatt for a while now, they worked to together for a huge chunk of the book before the fake dating issue even popped up. Then, it really wasn’t a huge part of the story. It wasn’t unnecessarily drawn out like it can be in other books. These two cracked me up and their banter had me laughing out loud. We get more info on the underlying Wynn family lawsuit and cannot wait to see what’s next for the Wynn dynasty.

A very sweet story. I really like Wyatt and I think that he and Everly develop a fun, sexy and loving relationship.

I read the other books in the series I loved this one as much as the others it was hot hot hot and everything I wanted in this book I love all the characters the romance and the story line

Win Big by Kelly Jamieson is a captivating sports romance that is a must read! It has charm, funny banter, and characters that you fall in love with! I adored this sports romance and would recommend it. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.

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.

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!

While I usually enjoy this author’s books, I had a difficult time with this one. I actually started to read this book twice but had to stop after the first time because I was overwhelmed with all the names. Granted there is a family tree in the forward, but I was still lost with who was who. Maybe that set the tone for when I started it again. I did enjoy reading about Everly and Wyatt and exploring their inner insecurities that they hide behind their public masks. But since Everly comes from a very big extended family, the names kept coming. I did finally get everyone sorted but it took a while.

4 1/2 STARS!

Fast paced & exhilarating! With the third book in her ever yummy Wynn Hockey series, Kelly Jamieson brings us WIN BIG. If you've been following along with the series, you will quickly recognize Everly, the sole daughter of the Wynn hockey dynasty. Happenstance and a good time on New Year's Eve leads her to meet her match ... namely hockey stud Wyatt Bell.

Everly is an interesting character. She works hard to live up to her family name and to prosper in a guys world of professional hockey ... yet in her story we get to see a softer side of her. She's made mistakes, she has regrets, she has dreams that haven't yet been fulfilled, but through it all she's stayed true to herself and what she wants to achieve in life.

Wyatt has the rep of being a player flitting from one woman to another, but in reality, he's not that party boy anymore. Life has slapped him in the face a time or two and he lives with regret and guilt from things that were often beyond his control. Getting close to Everly might be just the thing to save him ... or will it become his final undoing?

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to fans of hockey romance. The Wynn family is large, loud and filled with love, drama and secrets ... and I'm loving every minute of them!

5 Wynning Stars!

Win Big is the third installment in the Wynn Hockey series.
This series just keeps getting better and better; the characters are great and the story is so well developed. The family craziness is there too.

Everly Wynn has grown up with hockey being a big part of her life - it’s the family business.
She’s an absolute perfectionist - everything in her life must be planned and calculated. Even fun.
After a teenage-near-scandal, she’s vowed to never let her parents down again.
I found her to be a very complex character, I loved peeling back the layers little by little. In the end, she was quite relatable and very likable.

Wyatt Bell is the life of the party, he never takes himself too seriously. He believes we’re all here for a good time; not a long time. So we might as well live life the way that makes us happy.

I LOVED WYATT BELL. He’s so easy to fall for and our heroine soon feels that way too. This was not an insta-love sorta thing. Actually, they got off on getting on each other’s last nerve. HOT!
The banter was hilarious and on point and the chemistry between them was perfection.
They could not be more polar opposites, but they worked so well. Wyatt helped bring her out of her shell. He made her feel energized and excited about life.

This book was my favorite out of all three and the one I can see myself rereading time and again. It had it all - emotions that gripped me and characters who moved me. What more could I ask for.
Loved and definitely recommend!

Book 3 in the Wynn Hockey series is here and I’ve definitely enjoyed every book so far. The Wynn family intrigues the heck out of me and I’ve been eating up all the information we learn about them as we get through each book.

Win Big is Everly and Wyatt’s story and we’re definitely picking up where things kind of ended in the previous book. Everly was mentioned quite a bit in the last one and I’ve been dying to just know more about her. There’s just a lot of drama going on in this family and deep down I knew that she didn’t deserve some of the stuff she got.

I like that we’re finally making ways towards somewhat sorting the drama out with the Wynn family. It’s going to take time, but I was elated to see them finally working together to be a well … less dysfunctional family.

I loved Everly soooooo much, we really get to know her inside and out. And I kind of hated out she was perceived, but count on Wyatt to be a bit persistent and dig deep.

I wish their communication was a little bit better because their secrets kept me from truly connecting with them. But by the end, I had so much love for these two!

This was definitely a winner for me and I can’t wait for more of the Wynn family!

Another winner by Kelly Jamieson!I loved the chemistry between Wyatt and Everly,Wyatt being a funloving,good guy and Everly being the only girl in the Wynn family,serious with past issuesthat she needs to prove herself.It was fun to watch their relationship grow and how they get their hea.Looking foward to more by Ms.Jamieson,she has a gift writing hockey and romance stories .

Here's book three in the Wynn hockey dynasty series and I still can't keep the incredibly large cast of characters straight. Luckily Jamieson supplies a cheat sheet at the beginning of the book, because likely I'll need that for the next installment.

Everly Wynn and hockey player Wyatt Bell, or just plain "player" (as Everly thinks initially) were introduced in the previous books and as the characters develop in "Win Big," they are nothing like I thought. She's much more vulnerable and he turns out to be great Book Boyfriend material.

That's the good news. There are a lot of subplots, some pretty dull, and in what's becoming standard for Jamieson, some very woke talk on increasing diversity and inclusion in hockey. That wasn't dull, it was annoying. I don't read romance for lectures on the underrepresented, marginalized etc. Could be because I am a POC myself. Her heart's in the right place, no doubt, but I thought it made for a clunker of a conflict. But readers, do hang in there for Wyatt!

I received an ARC for an honest review.

We met both Everly Wynn and Wyatt Bell in the previous books. Everly is the director of the Condors Foundation and Wyatt is a defenseman on the Condors Hockey team. Everly comes from a Hockey dynasty - her father is the owner of the Condors and the majority of her immediate and extended family is involved in hockey in some way. ⁣
⁣
Everly and Wyatt have always butted heads and have seemed to enjoy riling the other up. I have felt the chemistry between the two during the previous books and could not wait for the two of them to finally give in! This book is written in dual first person point of view which is my absolute favorite. I loved getting to know Wyatt and Everly better and seeing that neither is quite what they seem on the surface. There were so many touching moments that I didn’t expect. ⁣
⁣
I don’t want to spoil this at all so I will just say that Kelly wrote this one wonderfully and I definitely recommend this whole series! This was a definite five star read for me and my new favorite in the series. My fingers are crossed that the next book will give us Harrison and Arya’s story

I really enjoyed this fast paced read. The pages flew by and I loved them all. It was my first from this particular series and now I really want to go back and read the rest of them. Kelly snatched from attention from page one and I quickly fell for these characters. Definitely recommend.

I had been waiting for Everly’s story! She seemed so cool and put together when we caught glimpses of her in previous books. I was waiting for a man to mess her up a little. And Wyatt is definitely the man for the job.
They both have secrets that make them the people they are but that’s what makes it a gripping story. When will they each discover the other’s secret? What will happen to the relationship when they do? You’ll have to read to find out!!
5 stars all the way!

Kelly Jamieson has created a great cast of characters in the series. This complicated, convoluted, messy family is highly entertaining. It's so tangled, you'll need a flow chart to keep up, but that's part of the fun: keeping up with all these characters with their quirks and flaws and complexities. This book centers around Everly's story with Wyatt. Their chemistry is fantastic; each one is more than what they appear to be on a superficial level. As crazy as this family is, they feel very real and I could go on and on reading books about them.

We continue with the Wynn family drama in this book and I could see that it might be hard for someone who hasn't read the first two books in the series to easily follow along. For those that have read the series you will easily jump right back in. The quilts of the past can affect the way we live our lives, finding enough peace to open up your heart and mind can give you the world.

Everly is Aunt to Theo and JP who were the hero's in the previous books. She is from her father's second marriage. It was hard being the only daughter and not one of the three hockey playing boys to the hockey god himself. Always feeling like she had to fight for her father's attention. Soon that need to for attention turned to a need to be the perfect child. This putting Everly in a square box, not enjoying life to the fullest and giving herself many rules to follow. She does find herself drawn to one of her father's teams hockey players who easily gets under her skin.

Wyatt loves playing hockey, it is all he has ever dreamed of. When he looses his best friend, he changes his path by asking for a trade. Needing to be there for his family. He has found his way with his new teammates but keeps everyone else at arm's length. On the outside he seem like a happy go lucky guy but he can't seem to shut of the guilt of his loss. He finds pleasure in riling up the princess Wynn when he get a chance, but the more he gets to know her the more he wants to know.

Can they fool the media with their plan? Will they be able to keep each other at arms length? Or will all their time spent together cross that line?

Looking forward to more Wynn madness.

*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ***

I loved this book! Wyatt is my new book boyfriend and Everly is a great character too. This is the 3rd book in a series that gets more interesting with each book. Everly is a girl in a male dominated family, all involved in hockey. Ever since she made a bad relationship decision at the age of 16, she has tried to be perfect and not embarrass her family. However, her family is doing a good job of screwing up all on their own with allegations of stealing, power plays and health concerns.
Wyatt is a player for the team that Everly is the head of the charitable foundation. He has issues of his own going back to the accidental death of his best friend. He is very involved in the lives of his friend’s son and widow.
I loved the interplay between these two, sometimes fun, sometimes snarky and sometimes red hot! Her family issues cause problems. His substitute family causes issues. Both of them have unresolved emotional burdens from their past. When it all comes tumbling out, they must let their hearts rule and find a way to be together.
Each book gives a hint at what is actually going on in the Wynn family and this one really moves the plot forward. Can’t wait to see what is next!

Everly and Wyatt, Win Big with love.

Win Big is the third book in the ‘Wynn Hockey’ series by Kelly Jamieson. In the first two we had Theo and Lacey, then JP and Taylor’s stories. Now, it’s Everly’s turn. She’s Theo’s and JP’s aunt but is basically the same age as them due to her father remarrying later in life, she’s the oldest child of his second family.
Being raised in a family of that stature came with a high price, one that Everly paid as an outgoing teenager. Now she just tries to do her best to be the perfect daughter. She’s the head of the Condor’s charity too, so feels like she should be pristine clean in her everyday life too. But inside she’s a mess. One she hides from all around her, but Wyatt sees through her walls.
After a drunken NYE party Everly finds herself in the wrong bed, she’s mortified until Wyatt shows himself to be a much nicer guy than she believed him to be.
Wyatt likes to live life to the fullest, but he’s hiding a secret heartbreak and a guilt that is wearing him down,
These two barely got along until they started spending time together and then the blinkers come off.
Wyatt is sweet, and softly commanding when it comes to the smexy times, he’s also got a gooey romantic and caring that will make you swoon like no other.
Everly has the world at her feet, but she’s a caring soul too. She is the perfect match for Wyatt and I truly loved watching their story unfold.
