Originally, I couldn't get passed the first few chapters of this book. It's hard to connect with a character who has a reputation that he's resigned to. I didn't read the first book in this series and I'm not sure if that would have helped or actually hurt my ability to sympathize with JP even more.

Yes, there were misunderstandings but JP really didn't put up much of a fight to clear the air about his "bad boy" reputation in the Wynn family.

Of course, we have Taylor who was willing to put in the effort and dig into the real JP. The story just didn't mesh with me from the start so it's hard to feel excited about characters that you start off on the backfoot with. Neither were really MCs that I could truly connect with and I was just reading to cross a finish line by the midway point.

This was such a fun and sexy read! I just loved the characters! It was my first read from this author and it won’t be my last!

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

I enjoy reading everything Kelly Jamieson writes, but I especially love her stories about hot hockey players. She does a wonderful job writing this entertaining and sexy story about two people who are attracted to each other, but circumstances keep getting in the way.

JP Wynn is a charming, sweet guy with a bad boy edge. He is a professional hockey player and comes from a hockey family dynasty. JP and Taylor meet at JP’s brother's wedding. They get along great and the sparks fly between them but they always seem to have some miscommunication. They keep bumping into each other and try to ignore all the chemistry flowing between them, but each time they meet, it gets a little harder to ignore their feelings.

Even though JP has many great qualities, he has a difficult time living up to his family's expectations. He regrets many of the impulsive mistakes he has made in the past. He is a fun loving bad boy with a great sense of humor. I liked both JP and Taylor and I also loved the dynamics flowing between them. They have incredible chemistry together and share a lot of scorching looks. This is the second book in the Wynn hockey series. I not only enjoyed the two main characters in this story, but there are also many entertaining secondary characters as well. This is another great story by Kelly Jamieson.

with in it to win it the wynn hockey series continues, and this hockey romance is full of family feuds and star-crossed lovers and it's entirely delicious. i devoured this book in one sitting and absolutely adored spending time with these characters, in this world.

j.p. wynn and taylor hart are perfectly matched from the moment they meet, except they keep misunderstanding the situation and thinking the worst of each other romantically. but all these crossed wires lead them to work on their friendship, and that's what makes the relationship so special.

i can't wait for the next book in this series.

**in it to win it will publish on july 23, 2019. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/random house publishing group (loveswept) in exchange for my honest review.

While JP may have a bad boy reputation in some ways he was the more mature main figure this is book. He had more depth than Taylor, who sometimes did immature things for immature reasons. I did not read the 1st book in the series, but now I MUST just because the characters in this books were fun and entertaining. Great read.

In it To Win It by Kelly Jamieson is book 2 in the Wynn family dynasty. JP is the brother of Theo the lead in book 1 Play to Win and Taylor is Lacey’s friend. I adored book one and I highly recommend reading them in order.

Now back to JP…. In It to Win It opens a bit before the end of Play to Win and man does it open with a wallop, well after some very steamy moments that is!

JP is a man struggling with the actions of his past, a man trying to do better and be better. It is clear from the moment he meets Taylor that sees the good in JP; the man he has inside of him. The man he does not see.

I adored for the two formed an ease with each other and the use of Taylor’s dog was so perfect for the storyline!

I also loved seeing Theo and Lacey from book 1; not just seeing them happy but watching JP and Theo repair their relationship (nope not telling read the books) really added to the family dynamic and healing ofr JP.

The use of Taylor’s parents added to this story and as a reader will even make you think.. oh no I am not telling that either you need to read the book!

In the end the happy JP and Taylor find with each other is the forever kind that is perfect for them.

I LOVE the Wynn family and I am so excited for Everly Wynn’s story in Win Big coming October 2019!

I liked this book, but I didn't love it. I liked the overall meaning behind the story, the majority of the characters, and how everything plays out is an enjoyable read.

I absolutely LOVED JP, like seriously, I freaking adored him. He definitely messed up with his brother and family, but he owns it and does not try to pretend that what he did was alright.

Taylor, I was not as much of a fan of. There were just small things that rubbed me the wrong way about her and made her seem a bit wishy washy and I did not feel the chemistry between her and JP.

The overall story and majority of the characters were good though. I loved reading about the crazy Wynn family and how much this huge family works together and I am looking forward to reading more books in the series!

PS: Thank you to Netgalley and L Woods PR for allowing me an advanced copy to be able to read and review.

Kelly certainly knows how to give us a great sports romance filled with comedy and sizzle! I was very intrigued with JP in the first book. He was shall we say a player and a bit of a jerk but he has come to redeem himself and tell his story!! Taylor is sweet, smart , sexy and looking of just one night . She knows JP's track history but that does not stop her when she is on a mission. I loved their story and also cathing a glimpse into all my favorite characters from the first book !!!

The Wynn family is a hockey dynasty. And now we have JP's story. And it takes a minute to figure out how everyone food, they author had even provided a little whose who to help you out. JP and Theo are brothers, but they are part of different hockey franchises. Just keep reading, it sinks in soon enough.
JP is trying to be different, he's made mistakes on the part that have hurt those he cares about. Trying to eliminate excessive emotion doesn't seem like the way to deal with things, but he's determined. Just one little issue, Taylor brightens his day and is hard to ignore.
Taylor is trying to be independent, she's also over hockey players. We know that won't work for her when she is seriously attracted to JP at Lacey and Theo's wedding. One night could lead to forever... You never know with the Wynn's.

Pretty good book. I love sports romances and this one I had to check out. I liked the story and the characters. If you like hockey and romance, this book is a definite must read.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I wasn’t sure if it would be possible for JP to redeem himself after steeling his brother’s girlfriend in book one, but he did! I enjoyed learning more about him and seeing how big his heart really is, his journey in finding love with Taylor. They definitely had chemistry but watching them grow and learn together was heart-warming. I honestly feel for JP right away. It took some time for me to really connect with Taylor, but in the end, she did win me over.

I thought this was a really good addition to the Wynn Hockey series and loved that JP and Theo were able to put the past behind them. I can’t wait to see what Kelly Jamieson has in store for us in the next book!

Known as the bad boy of hockey, JP Wynn has a temper and doesn’t always make the best choices. But, he’s determined to show both his family and his teammates he’s a different person now. A little flirting t at his brother’s rehearsal dinner with a gorgeous bridesmaid never hurt anyone, though, right? Wrong again!

Taylor Hart wasn’t looking for a hookup, but when one presented itself, she couldn’t say no to the sexy as sin best man. It also didn’t hurt that she could make the ex that ghosted her who also happened to be at the wedding a little jealous. But, when a fist fight breaks out, Taylor is out. But is she?

JP and Taylor are thrown together again and again since JP’s brother is married to Taylor’s best friend. And, the more time they spend together, the more the sparks fly and their friendship grows. But, can their friendship grow to be more than the one night stand it started as?

In It to Win It was a really sweet story. JP is the bad boy of hockey . . .but is he really? Once you know him, he’s really a great guy who needs to control his emotions better on and off the ice. He’s made bad decisions, but typically with good intentions and takes and keeps the blame and guilt on himself. Taylor is just a bundle of all around sweetness. She is experiencing a lot of major life changes which is causing her to doubt everything, including her core belief in love and relationships.

Together, this couple has a lot of ups and downs. I loved watching both of them learn and grow about themselves while falling for each other when neither really wanted to be in a relationship at all. I think what I loved best about this romance was the fact that it was an adorable pup that really brings JP and Taylor together and helps to cement their feelings for one another. Byron is the best!

It was a little tricky jumping into the Wynn family dynamics without reading book one, but the book and story were super enjoyable and was a fabulous romance. 4.5 stars!

I loved reading JP and Taylor’s love story. I would love to read Theo’s story. There’s drama and misunderstandings. There’s Ann instant attraction when JP and Taylor meet but there are challenges as they try to pursue a relationship. Engaging read. Recommended read

This is the second book in the series about the extremely dysfunctional Wynn Family, a Hockey Dynasty. Fortunately, the author provides a family tree of sorts at the beginning to help keep all the characters straight. The first book was about Theo, how he rescued Lacey from Los Vegas, and brought her to California, where she pretended to be his girlfriend to throw in the face of his brother, PJ, who he and the entire family believed stole his previous girlfriend. But things are often not like them seemed, and it was PJ that was being used by said girlfriend. In the end, all worked out for the best, because Theo and Lacey fell in love and PJ and Theo have reconciled. However, PJ is still holding on to guilt for that and many other things that were never his fault, but he accepted the blame for.

The book starts with Theo and Lacey's big wedding (they had already married in Los Vegas) and PJ lays eyes on Lacey's friend, Taylor Hart, a speech language pathologist, who loves working with kids. They hit it off, but when Taylor tries to make a former boyfriend, Manny, jealous, Manny starts a fight with PJ (a typical Wynn gettogether) and she inexplicably gets mad at PJ. PJ has been working on himself and trying to be a better person and keep his temper in check, but part of his family doesn't want to let him forget his mistakes, so gets angry at Taylor, thinking that he again was with someone else's girl. PJ and Taylor are attracted to each other, but misunderstandings keep them apart, until a family crisis in Taylor's family, leaves her convinced that forever love doesn't exist, and her dream of love and a family is dead. Yet, she finds herself going to PJ for comfort. (He has also been keeping her dog Byron.) Then it is PJ's turn to screw up, until Theo convinces him to get his head on straight and forgive himself. At first I did not like Taylor as she seemed irrational, but both characters grow and open themselves to love.

The author has created a fascinating family of characters that will take her through many books. The books are written in an entertaining and compelling voice, which makes them terrific reads. I'm looking forward to the next one.

* I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*.
Over the last few years, I have fallen in love with sports romances. I knew very little about hockey but now I have a general idea of how it’s played and some of the terminology associated. So when I saw that there was a hickey romance available, I asked for it immediately.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t one of the better ones I’ve read. I liked the writing style but these two characters gave me whiplash and the two time jumps were so vague it was confusing.
I liked JP but man he needs a life coach.
It wasn’t a terrible read but it wasn’t one I’ll remember either.

The Wynn family is back with the second installment of this series. In book one we got all the juicy details of what happened with JP. Now, JP is back and single and his goal this season is to not make mistakes like he has in the past. But he isn't starting off too well, when he and Taylor hit it off at Theo and Lacey's wedding rehearsal, they end up making a night of it. When at the wedding itself, things go from super to bad and JP has a hand in sorta ruining the reception. After all the smoke had cleared, JP has decided to just avoid Taylor, even though every fiber of his being reacts when she is near. The more JP sees her the harder to resist her becomes... but there is no way he is going to go for someone else's girl again, he learned that lesson before.

So, I'm first going to start out with Taylor is a bigger adult than I am … I am still messed up from her parents issues, LOL. I really enjoyed JP and Taylor's story. The antics that they got up to, the drama, and some super steamy naughty bits. I am looking forward to see what happens next in the Wynn family. I give this 4 stars.

The second book about the Winn family of hockey and you have the couple from the last book getting married at the beginning. J.P. the brother is attracted to Taylor and the night before the wedding they hook up and after the wedding during the dancing, she sees her ex from the first book another hockey player who now plays in Nashville. He had and has been ghosting her after he got traded when she thought that he would be staying in touch. While dancing with JP she makes eye contact with the ex-but she and JP go back upstairs to the hotel. When coming back down and going back to dancing she is shocked when he the ex-starts a fight with JP. She is also mad at JP for what I could not figure out because he was just protecting himself. Now for the rest of the story, he is trying to improve himself by not doing things that are self-destructive. He even starts to take up yoga as a joke at first but ends up sticking with it. He is still attracted to Taylor but he has to let her come to her own way of seeing him. She is having her own set of problems with her parents divorcing, selling the home she grew up in, and needing to find a home for her dog and to come to grips with her feelings about athletes, especially JP who she is finding harder and harder to stay away from. See what happens in this good story.

Taylor has craved a relationship like her parents have. Unfortunately, so finds out that her parents are now divorcing after over 30 years of marriage. As a result, she no longer believes in love.

J.P.’s family isn’t the typical family that inspires warm, loving feelings. His grandfather married a woman decades younger than him after his first wife died. His adult sons have always believed their step-mother was a gold-digger even though she has now been married to their father for almost 30 years.

Neither Taylor nor J.P.’s families have inspired them to believe in love, so when they connect neither believes it will last. Eventually, their feelings grow and become stronger. Can two damaged people find long-term love without doing something to sabotage it?

3.5 stara

I was curious to see JP's book and if he will redeem himself after what he did to Theo. I felt like that needed more resolution from book one aside. JP has always struck me as impulsive and lady's man, start of this book says just that. He and Taylor were insta lust and just went for it. But what he doesn't know ia that Taylor has some strings, it gets complicated than a simple wedding hook up. But I don't count Taylor innocent in the whole thing though she still went in eyes open but now she doesn't want drama.

I have to say I'm not a fan of JP at all at the start even if he is self admitted his faults and all. I'm not quite a believer that his wedding interlude with Taylor brought this sudden change on his womanizing ways. There are many kinds of athletes and JP falls under the flashy type not my cup of tea. Taylor confused me she was all over JP at the wedding then when trouble hits she runs and avoids. I guess what happens at the wedding stays there.

There's a lot of attraction physical wise but deeper than I'm not sure.I couldn't really connect with either sadly. I'm sure both are likable characters. I didn't understand Taylor and her intense dislike for JP even though she hooked up with him and is in lust around him. Of course as Lacey's friend they keep bumping into the other.

This reminded of the actual NHL were there are a few teams from California all fighting for the same market and spot in the Playoffs which was actually cool. Except here the rivalry is more personal and inter family. I liked all the hockey stuff and talk that's always my favorite part. JP trying to be a better team player and stop with the stupid action. I still want to read the other characters since this family js quite interesting and colorful.

A hockey romance between the best man, JP Wynn and one of the bridesmaids Taylor Braddock, that starts during the wedding festivities. I loved JP's convoluted family dynamics (setting definite grounds for a continuation of the series)! I had a difficult time connecting with Taylor and her commitment issues. JP was as perfect a gentleman as he could be while she friend-zoned him. This is the 2nd in the Wynn family series. I wish I had read the first, Play to Win, beforehand. This I as a standalone romance (I just prefer to read a series in order of publication). Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.
