Greener Pastures by Aurora Rey is a sweet and sexy contemporary romance with an abundance of smiles, snark, and sassiness.
Audrey is a New York City CPA who heads to her great aunt Ernestine's hobby farm in Upstate NY to take care of the place while she recovers from her stroke. There, Audrey is helped by Ernestine's neighbor, Rowan who owns a cidery right across the street from Ernestine's farm.
Rowan and Audrey do not exactly get off on the right foot, but Audrey quickly sees that Rowan isn't taking advantage of Ernestine but instead loves her like family. As the two spend time together, closer they become. When they both let their guard down, they are downright perfect together. This is a really sweet and spicy story with adorable farm animals and lots of cider.

3 stars. I needed something light and fluffy and while this was definitely both of those things I didn’t absolutely love this unfortunately. The writing was really good. This was my first book by Aurora Rey but I will definitely be reading more.
It was the main characters that I didn’t quite connect with. Audrey was a wet mop of character and she was just so bitter and borderline unlikable. Rowan was a pushover and I hated how much she bent over backwards to please Audrey. Also, these two did not know how to communicate to save their lives. It was maddening. However, I did like their romance. They had pretty good chemistry and this is a sweet love story I just wanted more from the characters.

Really enjoyed this book, feeling in need of a holiday, reading about a woman moving to the country to take care of her aunt's 'hobby' farm was lovely and soothing. There is also a butch/femme romance in the midst of the book, which is low angst, but fairly believable angst too, with big city cynicism meeting country friendliness. I found the main characters likeable and well rounded, I like the way that new possibilities were explored and the other friendships that were also shown. Thoroughly recommended for low stress reading especially if you like animals.
