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.

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.

I have liked Everly since we first met her - she is fierce, tough, and loving. She is the oldest child in her set of siblings on her side of the family, In addition to having the usual dose of older sublingness (e.g. need to take care of everything and run the show) she also has a history of anxiety to handle. Anxiety and panic attacks are very real and can truly alter your life - so to see that Everly has a successful career and positive family and friend life is awesome. But Wyatt brings some very necessary fun and lightness to the door - which Everly desperately needs. Wyatt brings the fun - but is also supportive and very real. He lets Everly handle herself, but is there to support her in a real way.

Wyatt has his own tough history - but is clearly the very definition of a good guy. He loves pushing Everly's buttons, but doing that gives her a spark and a chance to really feel. He also pushes her to have a good time and not play it entirely safe all the time. Each of them pushes the others boundaries in a good way.

Of the Wynn series so far, I enjoyed this one the most. I am looking forward to reading more about Harrison and the rest of Wynn family.

My only compliant with this one was how fast it wrapped up - I think a little more time could have been spent with Everly and Wyatt after they come back together before the book ended. I know its a Happy For Now ending rather than Happily Ever After - but they definitely feel like forever.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley - but these opinions are all my own! I <3 Kelly Jamieson!

I’m so glad that I found Kelly Jamieson’s hockey series. She has a way writing that keeps you captivated. Everly’s past has definitely impacted her choices in life and not always for the better. Wyatt feels guilty about circumstances beyond his control. They come together not knowing that life has a way of working out despite the setbacks that may develop. The family drama sure doesn’t help the situation. Another winner!

I'm a huge Kelly Jamieson fan. I love her hockey romance. This one was not my favorite. I have not enjoyed the huge cast of characters in this series but this story fell flat for me. I didn't care for Everly. Then I did not feel the connection between her and our male lead. Then there was enough angst between the two main characters and yet an annoying family wide conflict inches along with no sign of resolution not idea of what the old guy was up to in this lawsuit side story.

Wyatt & Everly balance each other out perfectly! He comes across as happy go lucky. She’s a perfectionist. Neither of them think they are ready for a relationship but their chemistry has them reaching for each other. They both have secrets in their lives that they have to come to terms with before they can find their happy ever after. A family mystery, Everly’s father’s apparent illness, Wyatt’s relationship with Owen... these things add additional depth to the storyline. I enjoyed this story & found it an entertaining read.

Wyatt was the guy you wanted around when you were looking for a good time. He lived life to its absolute fullest. Requesting a trade to the Condors would help fulfill a promise he made to himself. Interacting with Everly game his life the ability to see if their constant verbal sparring matches could turn into something more. Their chemistry just simply balanced each other out and gave them the promise of a future they couldn’t have possibly imagined. The Wynn hockey dynasty all comes together with a book that will tug at everyone of your heartstrings.

Everly works for the foundation owned by her wealthy hockey team owning family. While she is attracted to Wyatt, who plays on her father’s hockey team, they have very different personalities. Wyatt lives by the philosophy that life is short, so you should enjoy every moment, while Everly is a planner and a perfectionist who rarely goes off-script in her life.

Can two such different people find happiness?

Solid sports romance Great steam factor. Took awhile for story to get going with too many balls to get dropped until the end.

I LOVE Kelly Jamieson's hockey novels. I have read every single one of them at this point, so I was stoked to get a chance to read this book early. I am really loving the Wynn Hockey series...but now I'm concerned this might be the last one??? I need to know if there is going to be a book four!

Anyway! This book is about Everly Wynn she is Theo and JP's Aunt...but they are close in age. (It's confusing, but it's explained). You don't have to read the other books, but I think it's more fun if you do because you understand the relationship with JP and Taylor and Lacey and Theo. I did really love that the bond between the three women is still strong in this one.

This one ended up being way more heavy and angsty than I realized it was going to be. I really felt for the struggles that both Wyatt and Everly have gone through. I especially felt connected with Everly. As a person who has anxiety and has dealt with panic attacks before, I so related to her struggles in that sense. And poor Wyatt! He has so much guilt. (I'm not telling you why! SPOILERS) I did really love these two together. I liked that he was a fun-loving guy who got her to not take everything so damn seriously.

Parts of this story was serious, especially when you find out why Wyatt has so much guilt and why Everly is obsessed with being perfect. Despite that, the love between these two were great! I really liked them together, and I was glad this book ends on a good note.

I still think In It To Win It has been my favorite of the series, but this one was also really good. I'm really curious now, is Harrison getting a book? Because I definitely senses some things in that epilogue.

I really loved this story. We have been anticipating this since we first met Everly in Theo's book. I love getting the continued story line of the Wynn family as well. From the previously glimpses of we get of Wyatt I was prepared for a wild guy, possible playboy.....so wrong. I love that he is so fun and playful, but his dark secret was really just heartbreaking.
Heather....oh, boy. You can't hate such a lovely character, and only Kelly could write an adversary that you want to root for, but just not in this book. I hope we get to see a happily ever after for her in another book. Such a sad story there.
I loved that Wyatt could pull Everly to open up and be playful. She is so rigid from the past and so hard on herself. It was nice to see her relax and throw out the rules a little. They really are a good balance for each other.
Can't wait for the next one in the series....there are still a lot of Wynn members!

Another winner from Kelly Jamieson. No one tells hockey romance like she does. A family saga, trouble with players and relationships. A lot of humor, passion, and sports, makes this a fun and quick read.

This is a cute quick read, Everly and Wyatt really complimented each other, both of them had truly heartbreaking backgrounds to overcome. I’m looking forward to reading more in this series.
