When your name is Wynn, victory’s the only option. . . . “Kelly Jamieson is an auto-buy for me.”—New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips 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 … 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.

Best in the series?
This is quite possibly the best in the Wynn series so far. There was just something about this story. I’m pretty sure it was Wyatt. The playboy with the big heart. And I’ve also liked Everly from the beginning of the series. I can’t wait for more of the Wynn family.
Lovin This Hockey Romance Intensely
This has it all and the Wynn family just gets better and bigger. Everly and Wyatt both have such depths. I can’t explain all the emotions I went through while reading, loyalty, dedication, guilt, family, it’s all here and quite touching so many topics. The heat is beautiful and scorching, just as the foreplay has been sharp and witty, while these two find their own balance. Life really is precious and I’m ever grateful for Happy Endings!
Not so patiently waiting for the next Wynn Romance and while this can be read as a stand alone, I think reading the first two books in the Wynn Hockey series, will better acquaint a reader to the dynasty
I can’t say enough about this author & series, just amazing!! This is Everly Wynn & Wyatt’s book & you will love it & them!! Everly & Wyatt discover there’s more to each of them that meets the eye and help balance each other out. She especially needs to have fun & Wyatt does that for her. She’s not perfect & suffers from anxiety getting panic attacks but doesn’t want anyone to know until Wyatt witnesses an attack. Wyatt isn’t always Mr. Fun & good times after losing his best friend. They eventually realize they can trust each other & be themselves around each other instead of portraying the image everyone expects. This book has such wonderful characters (the rest of the Wynn family, team mates, friends), humor (it will definitely make you laugh), emotion, family health issues we could all possibly experience. All the feels!! I highly recommend this book and series!!!!
This was a good read. The writing flowed well, and I thought Everly and Wyatt had great chemistry. I haven’t read the other books in the series, and at times it was very confusing with all the different characters mentioned. There are half siblings and nieces and nephews and just a lot of names. When they aren’t all together, and the story focuses on the MCs, it wasn’t bad. I did get annoyed at them a few times. Wyatt for continuing to be a martyr, even though he didn’t have to be. Everly for still being in denial about her issues. She mentions going to therapy, but she still has anxiety over things and reefers to her issues as “supposed”. These 2 finally do make their way back to each other, and get their HEA. I would have like a little more resolution with the conflicts brought up in the story. Did her dad go to the doctor? Was the lawsuit dropped? What happened with the review of the foundation? I felt like those were just left hanging. All in all, I would recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.
The book is good, nice characters, well written….the problem….the only plot is the Wynn family problems, so you need to continue reading the books to know what is actually happening. At the end of the book nothing is solved. The characters have nice chemistry, the sex scenes were not wonderful. It’s a nice 4 stars to have a nice time

Win Big was the third book in the Wynn Hockey series by Kelly Jamieson. Although each can be read as a stand-alone, the characters are all further developed in each book; therefore, I recommend reading the series in order.
Everly Wynn. Everly was gorgeous, shrewd, independent, snarky and a force to be reckoned with. She was the daughter to the owner of the NHL team, the CA Condors, and she ran the Condor Foundation.
Wyatt Bell. Wyatt was a defenseman for the Condors and neighbor to Theo (book one, For the Win). We learned in other books that he not only was a gorgeous, skilled hockey player but he was also intelligent, sexy and humorous – the total package.
It was told from a double POV so we were able to dive into the thoughts and mind of both characters; yet, there was an air of mystery surrounding both. We knew something happened to them (individually – not as a couple) in the past, but Jamieson kept us guessing on the specifics until the latter part of the storyline. Jamieson also included a strong hockey theme as well as the complex and crazy antics of the Wynn family.
In the end, it was an entertaining read. Both characters were lovable and had some significant life lessons to overcome. The funny and sexy Harrison Wynn is up next in For the Win and I can’t wait!
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 ~~
Wynn Big. Oh, sorry, Win Big is a fun opposites attract story. The buttoned up professional and the life of the party hockey hottie couldn’t be more opposite. She cares about image and he couldn’t care less.
Their spirited arguements are foreplay. They’re fighting it but for all the wrong reasons. In the end, though, both WIN BIG. Because love should always win!
Watch out for flying pucks and feelings. Kelly Jamieson made sure to catch you where it hurts with this Wynn story. I can’t wait for Harrison’s fall…or his next fall. Lol!
Third in the Wynn Hockey series, this can be read as a standalone, but there are so many family dynamics at play that I feel as if it does benefit the reader to have read the previous two books before diving into this one (that being said, I loved those books, so it shouldn’t be a hardship).
I love a good enemies-to-lovers story. Throw in some fake relationship drama and I’m all-in. The dynamic between Everly and Wyatt was great – especially once they got to really know each other and it was lovely to see how supportive Wyatt was of Everly’s anxiety issues.
As always, Kelly Jamieson delivers a stellar hockey romance and I can’t wait to read about the rest of the Wynn family!
Great addition to the Wynn hockey series!
After Everly Wynn wakes up in Wyatt Bell’s bed, she’s torn between staying away from him or going with her strong attraction to him. And it’s not one sided — there’s a definite spark between the two of them that has playboy Wyatt inwittingly falling for Everly.
When an online photo threatens to become a PR nightmare, the decision gets made for them both and they engage in a fake relationship for the media. Only their feelings for each other are real, and they’ll have to deal with some past history before they can move forward together.
I have really been loving this series. There’s a definite “dynasty” feel to it overall, and there’s some great family drama. And the romance part hasn’t disappointed at all — Wyatt and Everly are both steamy and soulful with each other. And there’s just the write amount of conflict to resolve to get their HEA.
If you are looking for a hockey romance series, I would recommend this series from Kelly Jamieson.
Win Big, is Everly Wynn’s story. She is the daughter of Bob and Chelsea (Bob’s second wife), sister to Asher, Harrison and Noah. The author thoughtfully provides a list of the family at the beginning, but this crew really needs a family tree.
Everly is the Executive Director of the Condors Foundation. She has a secret, alluded to but not revealed until the later part of the book, that has made her a worrier and thinks that she has to be perfect. Totally the opposite of Condor defenseman, Wyatt Bell. He has his own secret that has lead to his belief that life is too short and should be fun. He is drawn to Everly and enjoys pushing her buttons and verbally sparring with her.
Because he has become so popular with the fans, Wyatt is asked to be this year’s Ambassador for Hockey for All. To avoid a possible publicity nightmare, Everly and Wyatt go on some pretend dates, but soon they are no longer pretend. Will their secrets prevent them from having a real relationship? When they are revealed as secrets usually are, will honesty help or hurt them? Aside from this, is the Wynn family dynamics and what is happening with Bob.
The author always creates fascinating characters, put in engrossing situations, making entertaining reads. The only thing that I don’t like is the far left agenda, that she also inserts, oblivious that trying to push an agenda so some feel safe, makes others equally unsafe. Is that how hockey players really feel or just the author’s “reality”?
‘Win Big’ is the third book of Kelly Jamieson’s ‘Wynn Hockey’ series and with each and every book this series becoming one of my favorite hockey series 🙂
Everly Wynn, aka Princess Wynn, is the director of Condors Foundation and since her father Bob owns the team, she tries her best to prove that she deserves the title. After the scandal she caused, she does everything to make her parents proud which in return she turns into a really serious and responsible person she is. She is always so prim and proper. At the beginning it felt like she was boring but thanks to this book, I get a chance to see another side of Everly that I really liked. New traits made her more relatable and likable. Wyatt Bell plays defense in California Condors. He lives my his motto: ‘Life is short, and you go to live it to the fullest.’ He is carefree, hot and a player. Or NOT! He hides behind his playboy mask and act carefree but the truth is so far from this persona he created. Since he is Lacey and Theo’s neighbor, he frequently run-in to Everly and from the moment they met in first book, “Play to Win”, they always find a reason to argue. It feels like it is Wyatt’s life mission to get a rise out of Everly. I really enjoyed the banter between them. All that snark and sexual tension made it sizzling hot 🙂 When they were just running to each other during social gatherings, this chemistry and dislike was easy to avoid. However, after they started to work together for a project, they both start seeing different versions of the person they knew. When they decide to give chance to explore their feelings, they slowly start opening up and share their deepest secrets with each other. As for me, I couldn’t stop myself to root for their relationship and happily-ever-after.
Of course Wynn family drama is still on but finally young generation decides to dig deep and learn why the feud started so they can put an end to it. With the team effort they start to get some facts but I am really looking forward to see the all the reasons behind the drama. You can definitely read this book as a standalone but I totally recommend you to start from the beginning so you have more of an insight about the Wynn family. It was great to see a bit of the previous couples Lacey+Theo and Taylor+JP.
‘Win Big’ is addictive, sexy, heartwarming, and so much more. Once you start, you won’t be able to put it down. I can’t wait for this series to continue. I hope next book will be Arya + Harrison’s story 🙂
Would I recommend this book: Yes.
Would I re-read this book: Already did 🙂
Would I read future books by this author: Yes.

Everly Wynn is the only daughter of the Wynn family. And she has some issues that stem from when she was a teenager. Since then, she has tried to be perfect but the anxiety from it all seems to be too much at times.
Wyatt Bell is a player for the Condors and he likes the ladies too. When he is near Everly, they seem to spar. Their sparring matches are almost as hot as the heat sizzling between them. But Wyatt isn’t the relationship type of guy.
With a potential PR nightmare coming for the foundation that Everly is the chairman of, she and Wyatt pretend to date. But with all the dating, their feelings begin to grow for real.
Can they make a real relationship work? Will Everly be able to tell Wyatt about her past? Can Wyatt tell Everly about who the little boy is and how he is related to him? Can they move pass the pain of the past and make a future together?
I am loving this series and I think Everly and Wyatt are my favorite couple so far. Author Kelly Jamieson has a perfect way of telling a story that will draw you in until the end. I recommend this whole series and can’t wait for more.
Ruthie –
This is the third book in the series, and whilst each deals with a new pairing, they are all interlinked and you definitely will understand the family dynamics and current issues best if you have read them all. If you like hockey romances, then there is NO reason why you would not want to be devouring them anyway!
This time it is the girl of the family, Everly, who gets her chance at love… although she really would not have chosen to fall for a hockey player in her father’s own team! Mind you, when you work as much as she does for the team’s charitable foundation, then it was probably inevitable. As we get to learn more about her as a person, and how much she has felt like a second-class member of the family because she is not a hockey player, it is rather sad. Her mental health issues really aren’t a surprise given the stresses that she places on herself.
Wyatt has a very different approach to life. And for some reason, the serious, considered Everly sees behind the playboy façade and recognises that there is a connection between them, regardless of the problems which may arise.
I won’t reveal more, as you should discover the goodness yourself! But rest assured, it is a really good read!

I am loving this series more and more with each book. I know the fake dating thing has been done but this one has its own spin. Everly has been trying to fight her attraction to Wyatt for a while now, they worked to together for a huge chunk of the book before the fake dating issue even popped up. Then, it really wasn’t a huge part of the story. It wasn’t unnecessarily drawn out like it can be in other books. These two cracked me up and their banter had me laughing out loud. We get more info on the underlying Wynn family lawsuit and cannot wait to see what’s next for the Wynn dynasty.
Win Big by Kelly Jamieson is a captivating sports romance that is a must read! It has charm, funny banter, and characters that you fall in love with! I adored this sports romance and would recommend it. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.
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.
I received a free copy from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.
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.
Evenly 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!
