Perfectionist Everly knows she needs to stay away from playboy, keep-it-fun-and-casual hockey player Wyatt. She has no intentions of repeating past mistakes. But after a night together they are forced to confront their feelings. Can they stop bickering to figure out if what they are feeling for each other is real? And what happens when they have to come to terms with their hidden pasts?

I thought Wyatt and Everly were fantastic together. They enjoy pushing each other’s buttons & love to make up. Wyatt shows Everly that she does not need to be perfect all time, and Everly helps Wyatt overcome his guilt from past events. With drama coming from the Wynn family members as well as from Wyatt’s past, there’s nothing that these two can’t overcome together. A great read from this author! Looking forward to reading more!

This newest addition to the Wynn Hockey series brings us Everly and Wyatt, the good girl and the good-time guy. Except things aren't always as they seem, and there's more to both of them than what people see on the surface. This one is a bit more serious than what we've seen in the series, but Kelly Jamieson's wit is still present, especially in the banter between Wyatt and Everly. Both characters are likable and relatable, and their chemistry comes through even when they're butting heads. Win Big also focuses more on the Wynn family dynamic than the gameplay, so if you've followed the series, you get to catch up with past favorites in addition to falling in love with this couple. As this is part of a series, it should be noted that this book can stand on its own. There is a continuing story of upheaval within the family, but it isn't hard to figure it all out with the information the author gives us. There's also a handy little who's who in the front of the book to help keep the family members straight. As for this one, the story is engaging, the characters are well-drawn and likable, and it's a good mix of serious and not so serious. All in all, a solid addition to the series.

Everly and Wyatt have always been like oil and water, so she's more than a little shocked at her behavior when she wakes up on New Years day and the previous night ringing in the new year with Wyatt comes rushing back. She chalks up their kisses to one too many drinks, and vows to return to the safety of her day to day life and put the evening behind her.

But when Wyatt is chosen to be the team face for the newest philanthropic campaign, the two find themselves thrown together more often than either could have anticipated. And thought Everly intends to enjoy hanging out with Wyatt, she fully plans to put the experience behind her when the campaign ends. Both Everly and Wyatt have difficult pasts that shade all of their choices, but both of them are finding it difficult to remember the reasons that they are a bad idea.

Win Big is full of family and friend drama, but the one constant is the pair of Everly and Wyatt. If they can each move through the past and their preconceived ideas about love and heartache, they might just stand a chance at something very real.

Win Big

Too many family expectations?

Wynn’s are held to a higher standard. Don’t believe me then reading Everly and Wyatt’s book will help you understand why I think this.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Authors Blurb: 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.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Everly Wynn is the only girl in a family of hockey stars. Always trying to get her Dad’s attention since her major mistake at age 16 that almost ruined her life. She currently runs the foundation for her Dad’s NHL team, that raises money for charities. Everly has decided a no-man rule in her life, it’s easier this way. Never say never, now that she’s been paired with the new star, Wyatt Bell. He’s a playboy, and it seems that everything is fun and games for him. No thanks to that!

Wyatt has learned the hard way how hard life can be. Which is why his outlook on life is to enjoy it to the fullest. But inside, that’s not the real him. Now that he’s been working side by side with Everly, he can’t stop thinking about her. He also wants to make her smile and hopefully let her see the real him.

Their chemistry is amazing but Everly does resist, until she sees the person inside Wyatt that is just waiting to come out. This was such a sweet and romantic story. I love everything Kelly writes!

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.

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.

Everly suffers from panic attacks but no one knows about it, they think she is calm cool and collected all of the time but there are times that internally she is a raging mess. My heart broke for her when we find out what happened during her teenage years and why she always needs to be perfect. Now Wyatt, he looks like a total playboy but it's all a facade and Everly soon realizes she has misjudged him all this time. He is carefree and lives life to the fullest but he has his reasons for that and they are heart wrenching as well.

This is the third book in the Wynn Hockey Series and although they each can be read as a standalone I would suggest reading the books in the order they have been released because there is a family story plot that carries through each of the books and it will enhance your reading pleasure if you see it play out the way it is meant to.

Happy Reading!!!

Crikey.  

This story is almost a little bit lost, just because of the confusion around the cast of characters.  I mean, I have read the first book in the series, and there is a family tree, but it doesn't help when they are all vying for page space.  

When you get past that, and down to the nitty gritty of the relationship, it's pretty decent.  No huge surprises, but it is a character driven, feel good story.

So we are back with the Wynn family this one is one of their female cousins Everly. Everly wants nothing to do with and this is funny because Wyatt I am going to stop you here, Question did you read the first two books in the series, because if you haven't then you need to stop, read them and then comeback to this book. I really believe that you would rob yourself of understanding and appreciate it more because you would get the storyline and meet and interact with family. So Wyatt is still acting like a playboy, and Everly wants nothing to do with him, but can you blame her., so when she sees the difference she finally get the real Wyatt and not the persona.

OMG! Kelly Jamieson does it again. “Win Big” was a Fantastic addition to this series and my new favorite. I just cant get enough of these hot hockey players! I swooned hard for Wyatt and got downright giddy over the banter between him and Everly. It was fun, full of heat and sweet and left me incredibly happy.

Wyatt and Everly were awesome characters. They had a Hot, first make out session which set the tone for the entire book. It was all so entertaining! The snark, the sizzling, sparing, the playfulness, and feverish, lust between these two was so fun to watch play out. Everly is annoyed with herself, but she secretly has it bad for this forbidden, hot, hockey player. I loved watching their feelings grow and how everything evolved when these two have to act like they are in a relationship. Everly is wonderful, smart, caring and could hold her own. Wyatt totally made me swoon and I loved watching him fall for Everly. It was just so exciting and exhilarating to see their walls come down and for them to finally appreciate, admire and want one another so much. #swoon

The storyline and writing were great. There is an ease to it that was really engaging making me want more, and more. Kelly Jamieson does an amazing job in making me feel like I’m part of this world she created. I felt invested in the characters, their story, and feel for them. I was excited while reading and enjoyed this page after page. Even while I wasn’t reading this, I was thinking about it. Waiting for the moment I could get back to the story once again. This was unputdownable and a unforgettable romance. I am so incredibly excited for the next book, in this series.

I love hockey romance yet this is my first book by Kelly Jamieson...where have I been!?! I will definitely be looking into the rest of her Wynn series as well as her other books!!
This story was of Everly Wynn and Wyatt Bell and starts the morning after New Years Eve when Everly wakes up in Wyatt’s bed. Although she is fully clothed, she can’t shake her memories of Wyatt the night before. As they strike up a somewhat awkward friendship through work, they soon find themselves in a “fake relationship” which is always fun!!! I enjoyed the pace of their relationship and the story development. We really got a chance to know Wyatt and Everly and how their pasts have shaped their outlook on love. We definitely get the HEA we are all looking for, but not until we go through a bit of angst. Looking forward to more from Kelly Jamieson in my kindle’s future!!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Kelly Jamieson scores a hat trick with the third book in the Wynn Hockey series, Win Big. This Is Everly Wynn and Wyatt Bell’s story. Everly is the aunt of Théo and JP from books one and two. Her father is their grandfather. Her mother is a younger woman from a second marriage. Everly is around the same age as the boys. Everly befriended Théo’s wife Lacey and JP’s girlfriend Taylor in the previous books. I like her character and was looking forward to her story.
Wyatt plays for the Condors; the team Everly’s father owns and that Théo is the GM for. He was traded to the team at the end of the previous season. I like Everly and Wyatt. Their initial bickering was amusing. Both are hard on themselves. They are an amazing couple that grow from being together.
Kelly Jamieson did a great job with this story. It was skillfully written and entertaining. It is a fantastic addition to the Wynn Hockey series. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Win Big could be read as a standalone, but I suggest reading the series in order. I recommend this series to people who enjoy sports romances with family drama.

I am always a sucker for hockey romances and this was no exception. Although I’m new to the series, the family members and team members gave me enough excitement about their stories!!

Everly is the daughter to the owner of the team. Wyatt plays for said daddy’s team. There were several story lines to follow here:
- Wyatt and heathers “story”
- Wyatt and Everlys fake for media relationship
- Everlys family drama/ dads health
- Everlys work drama
-Wyatt and Everlys real feelings
-Everlys health issue
-Everlys “secret” background hidden story

To be honest, since i was new to the author and series it was a little overwhelming and hard to keep track off. Most of the action felt off the ice and it detracted from the story for me. Still a 4 star read with well rounded characters, and a solid plot line- just a lot of side distractions for my reading style!

Win Big is the 3rd book in the Wynn Hockey series. I love sports romance and Kelly Jamieson always does a great job with this genre!

While I did like this book (not as much as the others in the series) I felt like it fell a little flat for me. I wasn't as invested in the characters or the story as I was in the other two books in the series. But, I still looking forward to more from this author and this series.

Win Big by Kelly Jamison

I loved this latest hockey romance focusing on the Wynn family. Not only did Win Big have a story I couldn’t put down, but the characters and their steamy chemistry made it an all around great romance.

Everly is part of the Wynn hockey family. Even though she doesn’t play the game, her entire family does and she runs their team’s charitable foundation. She tends to date men who are socially acceptable but don’t tempt her heart. Then she meets Wyatt, a player on the Condors team. He seems like a charismatic, fun guy who doesn’t take anything seriously. When they share a kiss on New Year’s Eve, their chemistry is explosive.

Everly and Wyatt both try to keep things light, but they can’t ignore their intense connection to each other, physically or mentally. Both of them are weighed down by what they think is heavy baggage, but they finally discover they need each other to help carry the burden. Their relationship develops against the background of family drama and, of course, lots of hockey games. These two characters are perfect for each other, and the author’s story shows that their stumbling blocks are realistic ones on their way to their happily ever after. Win Big was my favorite installment so far in the Wynn hockey family, and I can’t wait to read more.

I am a sucker for hockey romances and I am absolutely loving the Wynn family. I loved the first two books in this series so when I found out that Everly was getting a story I couldn’t wait to read it!
Everly Wynn made a drunken decision during a NYE party, of course, that decision involved a hockey player, Wyatt Bell. Everly really doesn’t want anything to do with Wyatt, because she knows his playboy ways. However, after they begin to spend more time together her opinions and her views of his start to change. There is so much more to him than what you see on the outside.
I LOVED Everly and Wyatt together. Their chemistry was fantastic and they are were so perfect each other. Of course, things don’t come easy and it takes some time for Wyatt to break through the walls Everly has built.
The Wynn family is hockey royalty and there is no shortage of drama, especially when it comes to this family. They are a crazy bunch, but you can’t help but want to know more of them and spend more time with this wild bunch.
If you love plenty of family drama and hockey romances Win Big is a MUST READ, along with the previous two books in the series.

Everly is the daughter of the team owner. She has had her fair share of drama in the past and just wants to move on and not deal with hockey players. Wyatt is not only a hockey player, he is a player with a capital P.. When they spend a night together Wyatt wants to get to know her more. As they spend time together things spiral out of control. Photos are posted and their pasts are coming up and back. Can Everly give Wyatt a chance?

Wyatt is a hockey player, and he plays for Everly's father's team. Not a good idea to date each other, from both sides. A good quick read and was a fast paced story. I liked it overall, and would recommend this book and series. Only issue I had was trying to keep track of all the names. Her brother, half brothers, nephews, etc. Minor though overall, and a good read.

Everly was born and raised in a hockey family and she now works for the team and manages their charity endeavors. A mistake she made as a teenager has made her determined to never disappoint her parents again which has caused her to be serious and cautious about her life and that fun is not for her.

Wyatt is a hockey player who has endured a tragedy which has him wanting to make amends. His philosophy on life is that it is short and comes across as a playboy with a carefree attitude but there is a lot more to him that first appears.

When a carefree moment between them becomes a media frenzy they decide to pretend they are dating. Along the way she realizes he is a sweet and sexy man and not the playboy she believed him to be while he shows her that having fun won’t hurt those she loves. As a bonus we get to catch up with the characters we know and love as well as learn some family secrets which only leaves us wanting more of this family.

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.
