✱✱Book Review✱✱ In It to Win It by Kelly Jamieson


IN IT TO WIN IT
By Kelly Jamieson
Ballantine/Loveswept


Wynn family bonds bend but never break . . . “Kelly Jamieson is an auto-buy for me.”—Carly Phillips

JP Wynn: I admit, I’ve made some bad choices—on and off the ice.
Now all I want to do is show my team I can control my emotions while I’m playing and redeem myself with my family, especially with my brother, Théo.
I hate that I hurt him and I’m determined to stay out of trouble. 
But the hot bridesmaid at Théo’s wedding is tempting me into another bad decision.
A little flirting and a hook up with Taylor seem harmless . . . until Manny Martinez jumps me on the dance floor and starts beating the crap out of me.
And just like that I add one more bad decision to my résumé.
 
Taylor Hart: I always thought hockey players were hot. Now I think they’re crazy.
Manny broke my heart when he got traded to another team and left without even a goodbye.
Then he showed up at my best friend’s wedding. All I wanted to do was show Manny that I was over him.
And the groom’s sexy brother, JP, seemed more than willing to be my distraction.
But after the way everything went down, I want nothing to do with any of them. 
Easier said than done. Especially when Lacey’s new brother-in-law is always around. . . .
And I keep thinking about the wedding night, when we snuck away to his room for the best sex of my life.

Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐

This second Wynn Hockey romance gives us Taylor and JP, and comes with all the wit and fun that I always love about Kelly Jamieson's books. That said, this one didn't grab me like the author's other books have. It was a bit repetitive and lagged at times, and I get that JP's guilt was a big part of the story, but it got to be a little much after a while. Don't get me wrong, the story is still good, I just didn't get into this one like I was hoping or expecting. I think some of my problem lay with the romance. I just didn't feel it with these two, at least for the first half of the book. Nevertheless, the story does have its shining moments, including a hilarious Christmas gathering, and JP and Taylor did eventually grow on me as a couple. We also get more of the whole Wynn clan, and that's always good for some drama. So, while this may not be my favorite Kelly Jamieson book, it is certainly worth the read, and I look forward to whatever comes next for this crazy family.
