* I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. *found myself enjoying this book more then I thought I would, the beginning was a little slow for me and I wasn't finding any connections with the main character, however after reading for a little bit I quickly changed my mind. I loved that Aubrey didn't have everything together, she didn't have a messed up past, she just had regular everyday issues, like so many others have. I liked how real her character felt once we were able to get to know her some. I wasn't sure that the title of the book did her any justice either as she is not a typical "barfly" but is selective and doesn't go to the bar every night. I think that the author needed to make her more likable and relatable earlier in the book and it would have been perfect. The romance between Henry and Aubrey flows nicely and there is some serious steamy heat to enjoy between these two, once they finally get their acts together. I wasn't too sure about his obsession with comic book heroes, especially when he was rocking the ninja turtle belt buckle, but it all seemed to work within the story.  Henry's sweet and geek-chic and his persistence with the stubborn Aubrey makes him likable without any of the typical Alpha's control issues. He understood how Aubrey felt and what he needed to do to make her want to be in a relationship with him.The minor characters also played a role in everything that happened, but I would have liked to have seen a resolution to them as well. Do Ben and Mackenna make it? Who takes care of the baby? what is next for them? Perhaps another book about them as the primary characters?Overall this book was a very good read. A few tweaks and it could've been a great one. The book is a quick read so if you are looking for an in depth, know everything about each character story, this isn't quite that.  It is more of a read for those looking for a quick, don't have to think too much and rationalize the book read. I would have liked to see more of a character development and a resolution for all of the characters, but I did enjoy the book as it was.  Add this one to your TBR list and spend the day (or a few) with some new friends and a story that you will enjoy.***Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official. ***
