Every Little Thing (Hart’s Boardwalk #2) by Samantha Young
Release Date: 7th March 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Hartwell, Delaware—the perfect place to get away from it all, and find what you never knew you needed…
Bailey Hartwell has many reasons to feel content—her successful business, a close circle of friends, and her steady boyfriend…even if their romance feels staid after ten years without a serious commitment. The only challenge in her life comes in the form of sexy businessman Vaughn Tremaine. She thinks the ex-New Yorker acts superior and that he considers her a small-town nobody. But when Bailey’s blindsided by a betrayal, she’s shocked to discover Vaughn is actually a decent guy.
Vaughn admires Bailey’s free spirit, independence, and loyalty. As his passion for her has grown, his antagonism toward her has only worsened. Every little thing Bailey does seduces him. But when Vaughn’s painful emotional past makes him walk away in fear he will hurt her, it opens an old wound in Bailey, and she uncharacteristically retreats.
Once Vaughn begins to realize he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he has no choice but to fight like he’s never fought before to convince Bailey that the love they’ve found together only comes around once in a lifetime.

★4 STARS★
I am hopelessly charmed by Samantha Young’s delightful town of Hartwell. Its idyllic setting and charismatic residents make for a wonderful accoutrement to a series that continues to enamour with every novel read.
Bailey Hartwell’s ancestry is woven into the fabric of the town. She’s fiercely protective of its heritage and the people in it. As the owner of the local Inn her competition and adversary is wealthy hotelier, Vaughn Tremaine. Their well-documented disdain for another stems from Bailey’s distrust in him and his intentions. As much as Vaughn may feign interest, he’s irritated that he can’t quite the feisty Inn keeper off his mind.
What could have been a straight forward enemies to lovers story is further characterised by a personal journey they both take. It’s fair to say there were some frustrating decisions made on both ends, but I felt it added to the angst in their story.
As it seems to be the trend in this series Samantha sets the scene for the supporting characters to receive the Hartwell treatment. I have my fingers and toes crossed for Emery and Jack. I’m already in love with Emery and I all but smell a redemptive story for Jack.
