Java Girl's review: 
 3.75 stars 
 I continue to have mixed feelings about this series, although I liked Every Little Thing more than I did One Real Thing, the first book in the series. I found Bailey Hartwell annoying, but she grew on me. She constantly reminds us that she "has no filter", except when it comes to running her inn, and her interactions with guests. My biggest issue with the no filter is I found her to be a little mean at times. I know she isn't a mean person, and it isn't her intention, except with Vaughn Tremaine. Books where the H/h constantly bicker and snipe at one another aren't my favorite, but I'm willing to allow for it up to a point. Bailey and Vaughn skirted right up to edge of my tolerance level.This is where Bailey's lack of a filter came in handy--she's pretty upfront and blunt, so the dancing around their feelings was kept to a minimum. I loved learning their backstories, it helped me deal with their self-protection mechanisms. Bailey isn't just blunt with everyone around her, she's pretty honest with herself. That trait, and her loyalty to her friends, endeared her to me. At times I thought she was very hard on herself, but decided that was an accurate depiction of most women. Vaughn's backstory and reasons for steering clear of personal commitment was a little cliche, but not too much so. His interactions with the other characters, especially his relationship with his father and his friendship with Cooper, revealed a side of him I found very appealing. Ms. Young always does an excellent job of showing a character's vulnerability, without being overly sentimental or sickeningly sweet. 
 The conflicts between both Vaughn and Bailey, as well as other characters were telegraphed early, and thus not very believable for me, but since Jack Devlin was involved, I'm willing to cut Ms. Young some slack. Jack continues to be the most fascinating resident of this small beach community. His father and brothers are basically stereotypes of small town villains, but there is something intriguing going on with Jack that I am dying to know. 
 Every Little Thing is a pleasant, enjoyable read in spite of a few minor flaws. I look forward to more in this series.
