Another solid hockey romance win for K. Jamieson! Win Big is another installment in the Wynn series, focussing on Everly Wynn and Wyatt Bell.

I love, love, love Wyatt. He's funny, sweet, kind, sexy, and a beast on the ice! His quick banter with Everly is always fun. He never takes himself too seriously, even when he's ready to settle down.

Everly -- well, I am not such a huge fan of her. I just don't understand her "must be perfect" mentality from the start. I understand her past mistakes, but at this age she should be past them. I could never fully "like" her because of her obsessive tendencies.

Love getting snippets from past couples -- one of the best parts in reading a series is keeping up with previous couplings.

Looking forward to the next installment already!

Kelly Jamieson is an author that I have followed for years. Her books are filled with quirky characters and great romance. And this one did not disappoint. Both Everly and Wyatt have secrets. Wyatt is also a player on her fathers hockey team. Everly is adamant that they should not be together. Until a little PR mishap turns in to a big PR issue. I really enjoyed the writing, characters and story line. Anyone who picks this book up will not be disappointed.

I've enjoyed the Wynn family series. Everly shows us once again that no one is perfect. She tries so hard.
Wyatt is a fun time guy. But is that all people see? Maybe it's because that's all he shows them.
Their story touched me. I will be telling my friends to read, Win Big.

Fun entertaining read! Everly"s father owns the Condors, the hockey team Wyatt plays for which means he's off limits but when they get together it's too easy to push each other's buttons. Wyatt is the life of the party, life's too short, you only live once which is totally opposite of Everly who seems to strive to be perfect. Great banter, plenty of humor and heat makes this a great read!

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.

Kelly Jamieson is back with a third book in the Wynn Hockey series, Win Big. Here are things I liked and disliked about it.

What I liked:

*How Everly and Wyatt's relationship started off. It had this enemies to lovers vibe.
The fake relationship aspect.

*Everly and Wyatt as a couple.

*Who Wyatt was on the inside compared to who portrayed himself to be at times.

*The friendships between the gals.

*Everly's backstory.

What I disliked:

*Everly felt like she had two distinct parts of her personality that didn't always mesh well.

*The lawsuit story. It took away from the love story.

*I wanted it to be a little longer with more time with Everly and Watt as a couple.

Overall, it was a quick and fun to read sports romance.

**3.5 Stars**

This was my first read by this author and therefore my first read in the series. While it definitely seemed like it could be read as a standalone, there was a lot of reference and mention of other secondary characters (and there were a ton of them) and that was very confusing at times. The author did include a list in the beginning of the book, but even that seemed rather complicated and had me a little nervous going into the book. I am not sure if it is just because I started part way through the series, but it seemed a little difficult to keep track of the secondary characters, which kind of took away from the story a bit.

Having said that, I did really enjoy the main characters, and if the book focused more on them, and a little less on some of the family drama that I am thinking took place in a prior book, I think I would have enjoyed it more. I enjoyed Wyatt's character and think that his flirty and fun side helped balance out Everly's need to be perfect and orderly all of the time. I think they had great chemistry. I also loved reading about Wyatt's interactions with Owen, which made him all the more endearing.

At times I struggled a bit with the story line as it seemed to be a little all over the place. Overall, it was just ok for me. I would definitely like to try reading another book by the author.

I love books that are fast paced, sweet, and steamy. This book had was all those things. Loved the chemistry between Everly and Wyatt. The downside of this book was all the unnecessary drama around the family. It did not add to the story between Everly and Wyatt and left me annoyed that it was unresolved by the end of the book. Other than that, cute story. Four chilli peppers of hotness!

I received a free ARC from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts are my own.

I'm really enjoying the Wynn Hockey series by Kelly Jamieson. Getting to know Everly and Wyatt was fun. I liked that the perfect princess wasn't so perfect and the live life to the fullest Wyatt had a serious, dedicated side. It's interesting to watch them learn things about each other that even their family don't know.

Jamieson creates deep, multi-faceted characters and sets them in an interesting story. These two in particular have flaws that make them more endearing and easier to relate to and I liked that.

I'm not sure what's next but I look forward to reading more from Jamieson.

I love this series but this book is hands down my favorite of this series so far. This book is Everly and Wyatt’s book. Everly is such a strong and beautiful woman. To the world she comes off as perfect but sometimes behind closed doors she is a mess. Wyatt is the sweet, kind, and a very good looking man. To the world he is this fun loving and not caring kind of guy. Behind closed doors he too is a little messed up. Together these two find a peace they did not know they needed or wanted. They both fight against this attraction they feel. What happens when they give in to what they feel? What happens when the past interferes with their future? Pick up this book and find out because you honestly do not want to miss anything. Thanks to Net Gallery and the publisher. I voluntarily reviewed this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was excited that Wynn Big is Everly Winn’s story, the Winn Princess. Not really knowing what her back story was, led to questions, which Kelly totally answered for us. I couldn’t help but fall in love with her and Wyatt. As I read, I understood where her reserve came from and while she felt she needs to pay for her past “sins”, Wyatt helped her through those. We could all use a Wyatt in our lives, success driven and passionate about hockey, yet off skates, he was amazing.
Five stars for another great story in the Wynn Hockey series, one you can’t just say is another “hockey series”.

Everly Wynn is the poster child for perfection and thrives on structure. Wyatt Bell is the life of the party and all about living in the moment. When these two decide to explore their explosive chemistry the question becomes: do opposites attract? And are these two really what they seem?

‘Win Big’ is the third installment of Kelly Jamieson’s “Wynn Hockey” series, and it is hands down my favorite. I was thrilled to be selected by Netgalley to receive an ARC of this title (in exchange for my honest review), because it was already on my TBR list. One of the things I enjoyed most about this novel is that it explores mental illness (namely anxiety) in a refreshing and humanizing way. I found myself personally identifying with Everly because her experience with anxiety is written so authentically. I also like the fact that the novel wasn’t afraid to address the past traumas of both protagonists, and show the growth that they both experience throughout the arc of the story. I think Wyatt is one of my favorite heroes, and Everly is a strong, resilient heroine. (And the fact that Everly and Wyatt have white-hot chemistry doesn’t hurt, either.)

Do yourselves a favor and read the entire series (if you haven’t already) and hope that there are more Wynn stories to come. Because these novels—especially ‘Win Big’—don’t disappoint.

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.

I am a fan of Kelly Jamieson's books. She writes a good hockey romance. Everly and Wyatt's story was ok. I like that office romance type of feel. I just don't love the Wynn Hockey series as much as the other series of hers.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to leave an honest review. This is the third book in the Wynn hockey series and I really enjoyed it! It was a great book. Very well written and kept me engaged throughout the whole thing. I actually read the second book in the series also which was also good but I enjoyed this one more. I felt like both the main characters (Everly and Wyatt) you could really connect with.

This book follows Wyatt, a pro hockey player, and Everly, the Wynn "Princess". Everly is perfect...or so she strives to make everyone believe. When she was a teenager, she had a major act of rebellion that really disappointed her parents. From that day forward, she has tried to be the perfect daughter, worker and overall person so as not to cause that feeling again. Partially because of this, she suffers from panic attacks and anxiety. Enter Wyatt, the most carefree live in the moment person that you'll ever meet. He brings out the fun side of Everly and makes her lose control of her orderly life. But Wyatt is also hiding some secrets he doesn't like to share.

They seem like a perfect pair; having fun and not being serious. When they both start to develop more feelings for each other, both must come clean about their pasts. Can they both accept the other as is? Or will their past and phobias destroy them from their happily ever after.

Overall a great book. I would definitely recommend.

Everly and Wyatt story is another Wynn Family love and trouble one. They fall in love son easy, so natural they don't know it. Wyatt have some past over his shoulders and Everly thinks she needs to be prefect. But they developed a good friendship and love growth.
I received a ARC from Netgalley for a honest review. I enjoy reading this book and recommend it.
Can't wait for Harrison and Ayra story?

Another great book from Kelly Jamieson! I love the Wynn Family hockey series! I can't get enough of it! This time we get to read the story of Everly Wynn, daughter of the Wynn patriarch and Wyatt Bell, a player for her Dad's team. Everly is a perfectionist while Wyatt is a go with the flow guy. Both have back stories that have shaped who they are and we get bits and pieces of their true selves throughout the book. Both of these characters are flawed and scared and the reader gets to see their budding relationship & their attempts at trying not to fall in love. I would give too much away but the story definitely keeps our attention and gives us a HEA with all the feels. Everly is every girl and we relate so well to her. Wyatt is the boyfriend we all want and makes us swoon.
The great thing about this series is that it always picks up where the last book left off. We get to see characters from past books and are given glimpses of what is going on in their lives now. There are peripheral family members who keep showing up in each book and there is a whole backstory interwoven creatively into each book.
This series keeps me interested and I look forward to reading each book as it comes out. Kelly Jamieson has definitely become one of my favorite authors!

Everly goal in life to please her family and tries to be as perfect as possible. Making out with Wyatt Bell a hockey player on her dad's NHL team is not part of her plan. Wyatt keeps trying to get Everly to open up and simply date him. As they grow closer secrets of the past try to derail their new relationship, only by addressing the issue can they find happiness.

The secondary theme of the Wynn family plot is getting good. I can't wait for the 4th one to reveal more Wynn secrets.

WOW! I LOVE THIS SERIES! Another great story by Kelly Jamison. I really liked the two main characters, Wyatt and Everly. This is a feel good story about two unlikely couple that is great together. It is full of humor and drama. This story is part of a series however can be read as a stand alone. I would recommend this story.

I received an advance copy from NetGalley for my honest opinion.
