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!
~~Michele McMullen ~~

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!

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.
