Better Than the Beach is a sweet, charming snowed in, age gap, forced proximity romance featuring a college student stranded on her way to Hawaii and a college professor visiting home for the holidays. It’s the perfect amounts of fun, spice, swoon, festivities, and heartwarming story.
A Sweetheart of a romance Novella you won’t want to miss especially when it is narrated by two of the most talented performers in the industry! 
Alexis Paige and Greyson Owens totally rocked this quick listen of this audiobook and leave me craving more!

What's better than a sunny beach vacation for my winter break?
Maybe being snowed in with a gorgeous stranger….

Let’s go to the beach for winter break, my sorority sisters said.
It will be a blast, they said.
Sand, salt water, hot surfers.
What more could I want for the holidays?

Well.

And so it begins!

Nobody considered the chance for a winter storm grounding all flights,
changing my layover from hours to days and leaving me utterly stranded.
Nobody foresaw the airport bartender who took pity on me,
offering me a room in a charming bed and breakfast.
And certainly one expected a visit from a gorgeous older man.
No one considered any of this.
Especially not me.

Come to the beach for winter break, they said.
It will be so much fun, they said.

But...

I’m starting to think that being snowed in with Professor Nolan Montrose might end up being better than the beach

This was instant attraction for these two! 
This Novella is filled with heart, heat, and irresistible found-family vibes, it’s the ultimate festive treat I tell you ! 
The characters are so lovable, the story is fun and sexy with just a hint of almost missed opportunity but also an epilogue that’s so good it made up for the moment when they were apart. 

“Shuffle the Deck Cassandra”

“You are utter perfection”
