Win Big: A Wynn Hockey Novel

Everly and Wyatt, Win Big with love. Win Big is the third book in the ‘Wynn Hockey’ series by Kelly Jamieson. In the first two we had Theo and Lacey, then JP and Taylor’s stories. Now, it’s Everly’s turn. She’s Theo’s and JP’s aunt but is basically the same age as them due to her father remarrying later in life, she’s the oldest child of his second family. Being raised in a family of that stature came with a high price, one that Everly paid as an outgoing teenager. Now she just tries to do her best to be the perfect daughter. She’s the head of the Condor’s charity too, so feels like she should be pristine clean in her everyday life too. But inside she’s a mess. One she hides from all around her, but Wyatt sees through her walls. After a drunken NYE party Everly finds herself in the wrong bed, she’s mortified until Wyatt shows himself to be a much nicer guy than she believed him to be. Wyatt likes to live life to the fullest, but he’s hiding a secret heartbreak and a guilt that is wearing him down, These two barely got along until they started spending time together and then the blinkers come off. Wyatt is sweet, and softly commanding when it comes to the smexy times, he’s also got a gooey romantic and caring that will make you swoon like no other. Everly has the world at her feet, but she’s a caring soul too. She is the perfect match for Wyatt and I truly loved watching their story unfold. One-Click this hockey treat today.

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Win Big is the next book in the Wynn Hockey series and one that many of us that have been reading the series have been waiting for. One thing I will say is that this series is much better read as a series. You're able to understand the family drama that continues and having read all the books gives you a much more rounded understanding of the family. Everly Wynn runs the foundation arm of the hockey club. She has always been one who likes to be in control and have things just so, but between the anxiety that the fights (and tries to hide) and an incident that happened back in her teens, she feels an even more heightened determination to be perfect. She's the problem solver in her family and so between trying to keep the family in line and work, she leaves herself little time for fun. Wyatt Bell is fairly new to the team having been traded from his previous team in Detroit. He's also known for loving the ladies, but the real question is, is that who he really is or is that most a facade? As we learn about Wyatt, he's had his own struggles and deals with some weighty issues, but the one thing that is clear, is he has a heart of gold and is a really good person. While Everly and Wyatt have always had more of a love/hate relationship, as the two of them spend time together, they begin to learn about one another and figure out that what you see isn't always what you get. As they begin to learn the layers of the other person, they see there is much more there than meets the eye. They each push to bring out different sides of the other person, all while things begin to turn romantic. I enjoyed Everly and Wyatt and how their story unfolded. As a person who suffers from anxiety, it was great to see it included in the book and to see how Wyatt approached the situation after he learned that Everly suffered. I think the love/hate aspect made it that much sweeter when they actually started seeing further within the other person. I'm looking forward to continuing along this journey with the Wynn family!

I have been loving this series so far and was so happy to get Everly's story. Kelly Jamieson writes sports romance so well. I really love her style. The Wynn's are a family dynasty overflowing with testosterone, and then we have Everly, who is such a breath of fresh air and a great character. She appears so strong and put together but like so many other people she suffers silently with panic attacks, but she hasn't told anyone about them. She is so down to earth and humble with a big heart of gold, and is the first one to say she knows she is privileged and has been lucky. She uses that to further her passion for helping others, making her that much more lovable. Wyatt has the reputation of being as big a player off the ice as he is on. They have an interesting relationship at first, all banter and flinging insults. It's pretty amusing. Wyatt is actually super sweet and lovable and has a giant heart of his own. I fell pretty hard for him! Like Everly, he has his own secret. At first they seem like total opposites despite their obvious sizzling chemistry, but when they spend some time together in a "fake" relationship, they learn they actually have a lot in common and genuinely like each other. I love watching them come into their feelings and realize that they are actually perfect for each other. Can't wait for more in this series!!
