From the bestselling author of Her Forbidden Rockstar, comes the sweet conclusion to Logan Clay's musical journey to find love. In this holiday novella, Logan and Caroline figure out life after fame, while the rest of Logan's band members begin to take center stage.
Famous rockstar Logan Clay is head over heels in love. After everything he went through to be with Caroline, he knows exactly what we wants from his life. Bringing her home for the holidays to meet his family and old band members is the first step to that future together.
Except that Caroline isn't as sure as he is... about anything. She has to impress her boyfriend's parents, stop her best friend from fighting with the biker band member, and figure out her own future all in time for the holidays.
Christmas with a rockstar brings a whole new kind of caroling.
DISCLAIMER: This book was originally published in December 2014 with the title "Sand & Snow" by Sarah Robinson. Since then it has been re-edited, a few short scenes here and there added in, and given a new title and a new cover in order to improve the novel. This is the final product of that revision process so there have been a lot of changes, but the story itself is relatively the same. This novel is meant for 18+ years old.
About Sarah: Contemporary Romances Across the Rainbow…
Sarah Robinson first started her writing career as a published poet in high school, and then continued in college, winning several poetry awards and being published in multiple local literary journals.
Never expecting to make a career of it, a freelance writing Craigslist job accidentally introduced her to the world of book publishing. Lengthening her writing from poetry to novels, Robinson published her first book through a small press publisher, before moving into self-publishing, and then finally accepting a contract from Penguin Random House two years later. She continues to publish both traditionally and indie with over 18+ novels to her name with publishers like Penguin, Waterhouse Press, Hachette, Forever, Grand Central Publishing, and more.
In her personal life, Sarah Robinson identifies as a queer, non-binary mother and is happily married to the gentle giant of her dreams. The duo have two little children and are happily living in Arlington, Virginia where Robinson also works full-time as a psychotherapist with queer individuals and couples.
Sand and Snow: A Novella is #1.5 in the Sand & Clay series by Sarah Robinson and was my favorite of the series.
"Sometimes she couldn't believe how wonderful this man was, it didn't seem real. As if it was unbelievable that anyone could love so much or have a heart so big to do the things he did."
Logan and Caroline are so happy, finally getting to experience the love they share without anything coming between them. It’s Christmas and they have decided to go to Logan’s parent’s home in Connecticut to share the holiday with them. Caroline’s friend Aralia is going along and Logan’s old band mates we met in Logan’s Story are there as well. It was so great to see everyone back together again. Logan has bought his parents a beautiful home right on the beach. They are in such a better place than they were when we first met them. I love Logan’s parents by the way. Just love them!
"I fell in love with a man, then a musician, then an artist, then so much more. But today? Today I fell in love with a man who would do anything to take care of his family."
Caroline has some decisions to make about her own future. The only certain thing is that Logan will be a part of it. Her father is so angry with her for leaving the law firm. Can Caroline somehow make her dream come true of making a living with her art?
I loved seeing how Logan and Caroline are together. They are so good for each other and wow, the chemistry! We get to know Aralia a little better in this book as well as Dylan. It seems like there is more there so I wonder if Sarah Robinson is going to write more about them?
I did enjoy some of the interactions between Caroline and her own parents in the previous book but still, when you compare the stiff way they are to the loving atmosphere she gets to experience with Logan’s family, what a contrast!
"Logan's family was the definition of joy and laughter, while hers had been stoic and proper."
This was a lovely, short book full of Christmas love and joy. It seems Caroline and Logan will get their happily ever after. It was wonderful revisiting Logan’s home town and his family and friends and the end of the book left me with a smile. I have truly enjoyed this series and getting to know Logan and Caroline.

Loved it! Logan and Caroline visit Logan's family for Christmas. I loved getting to know his parents. The love in this family is shown by the way they treat each other. They never take one another for granted. Caroline was nervous to meet them, because of his previous girlfriend, and what she had done for their family. Caroline also tries to mend her relationship with her father. I loved meeting Logan's bandmates, especially Dylan. I can't wait to read more about them, and Caroline's friend Aralia, who says the funniest things. A short, but sexy and heartwarming, must-read!
Sarah has out done herself once again. This is a one-click must!!!! I loved getting to know Logan and Caroline a little better.
This is a super heart warming story of Logan & Caroline at home for the holidays. You get to see their love blossom and also get to know their friends a little deeper as well. But one thing is for sure, I seriously want more!!! Especially more about Logan's hot friend Dylan. Swooning... I definitely cried happy tears more than once and will be reading again soon.
Thanks Sarah for writing the prefect 5 Star read for the Holidays!
I was one of the lucky ones who got to beta read for this author and let me tell you..... this book was amazing sweet, romantic, intruigueing and heartfelt. The family you have always wanted! Caroline & Logan go home to his parent's house for Christmas, where her & her best friend get to know the entire band and Caroline falls more in love with Logan than she thought possible! Will Caroline see her family for Christmas as well? Read the book to find out!!!
Another of Sarah's books read in one sitting - truly one of my favourite author's
After Caroline runs of to Greece with Logan leaving her job and family with no word till after the event. Her father is more than a little unhappy at her behaviour at calls off the traditional Christmas gather. Logan seeing the women he love's sad invites her to Christmas with is family. Aralia, Caroline's BFF tags along and with Logan's former bandmate's around sparks are going to fly especially with Dylan who she seems to develop a love/hate relationship - I really hope Sarah Robinson does a book about these two, as I would love to see where this relationship would go with the chemistry between the two.
Caroline mean while falls in love with Logan's family and them with her - will Logan take their relationship to the next level. Will Her drawing career take off. Will Caroline and her father ever meant the somewhat broken relationship between.
I love this follow up novella about Logan and Caroline. (Please make sure you have read both Logan's Story and Sand & Clay prior to this book) Without giving to much away in this book we get a look into their blooming relationship, the family life and his old band mates. I love when a book is a fast read but I feel like I walked away learning tons about the characters and their lives. This book has a lot going on from start to finish that fulfilled what I wanted to know about Logan and Caroline. I can't wait for the next book, and to learn more about other characters.
More? Please, I just need more of Logan and Carolines story! They are the epitome of true love... and I'm just not ready to give up on them yet... In all honesty, I'm not sure I will ever be ready to give up on these two...
So Sarah, if you think there's a chance that a meteor is going to hit earth and wipe out your characters you seriously better finish their story before hand!! ;)
On a serious note though, there are no words that I can put into a review to do this book justice. It is simply an amazing read... Easily made it to my favorites list :) I can't wait to see what comes next!
*ARC provided in exchange for an honest review - Jacquie / Scandalous Book Blog*** A short holiday Novella featuring all the usual characters. This was my favourite book of the three so far. Lovely festive read and we get to delve more into the characters of their best friends Aralia and Dylan. Felt this book took us full circle as we are back in Logan's home town and we get a small glimpse into the lives of his old band. This novella had it all, I laughed, cried and cheered at the end. It sets us up nicely and I'm hoping for Aralia and Dylan will get their own book in the future.
A fun and easy read that updates the story of Logan Clay and his love, Caroline. Read this one cuddled up by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate, or Irish coffee. This is one of those stories that just makes you smile all the rest of the day, and will turn a bad day good. It also lets you get to know some other people from the stories better, and makes you ant to delve more deeply into this world.
The simply sweet, adorable love story of rocker Logan Clay and Caroline Sanders continues in this novella I read in one sitting. You can see and feel how much Sarah Robinson has grown in her writing ability from Sand and Clay to Sand and Snow. Christmas is coming and Caroline's family is mad at her for running away with Logan for a month in Greece, so Caroline will be spending the holidays meeting Logan's family. The perfect little love story! A great read!
Short little read following up to Sand and Clay. Logan is still a rock star but has changed his music and Caroline is finding her way. I love the story with Logan's parents, his mom and dad are really awesome people and I'm in love with Logan and how he sings and plays guitar for his mom it is the sweetest thing. I like that Logan and his old band get together...looking forward to next book about Dylan I hope the band is back together it could really get interesting.
This book was definitely a fun read. We got to see more of the love story of Logan and Caroline. They have such an amazing chemistry and strong love for one another that it is fun to watch as it keeps developing deeper. I had a lot of laugh out loud moments as I love the bantering with these characters. You feel like they are your friends as well by the way this series is written. I love this series and can't wait for more!
Caroline is spending her Christmas with Logan's family. After breaking up with Turner, leaving her job with no notice and running off to Greece with Logan, her parents have disowned her.
Normally Caroline, Aralia and Jackie all spend Christmas together at one of their parents. This year Jackie has plans and Caroline's parents aren't speaking to hear to her and Aralia agree to spend the holidays with Clay and his family.
Christmas love blooms and Christmas miracles happen.
As Logan travels home for Christmas to see his family, and his old band mates, he takes Caroline home with him. Caroline is having trouble with her family, and what they think she should do as far as her career goes. Caroline wants to be happy and be able to do what she wants not what her father expects. Logan is thinking about his future and where he wants it to go.
I loved the fact that this had me laughing out loud to the banter between the characters. It also had a bit of hotness in there too. This is the whole damn package. But seriously..... it ended and I was like what the hell?! Sarah Robinson you seriously are good at writing an engaging story that you just don't want to end........ever!!!!
Sand and Snow was a short yet sexy read that you're going to want to read. Logan and Caroline are back and this time they are going to Logan's parents place for Christmas. They won't be alone though, Logan's bandmates and friends are right there with them. This was a sweet read that will make you smile.
This was an awesome read that I could not put down and finished in one sitting. It moved along at a great pace, has amazing characters and a great story. This is one book that you will not be sorry that you read.
I was given this book for an honest review. This is third book in the series is a novella by Sarah Robinson.
We follow Logan who is going home to his family and band mates along with Caroline for Christmas. I loved this story showing Logan and Caroline love for each other that keeps growing more and more each day. This was truly a sweet story of coming together as a whole during the holidays. I truly enjoy this novella, but I’ve also have enjoyed this whole series. It was truly a surprise and fantastic read.
Absolutely LOVED this! Perfect to curl up with a hot chocolate and enjoy a few hours of a sweet winter romance. Definitely read the first two in the series before this, I mean you don't technically have to, but you would get a lot more out of it if you did. In general, this book is just warm and fuzzy all around! A must read!
This was a perfect ending to a series. Logan is perfect, a great man that takes care of his family and his woman! Anyone could fall in love with him, but the great Caroline had that pleasure!! His proposal was priceless!!!! Loved it!!!!

☆☆ ARC PROVIDED BY Sarah Robinson FOR MY HONEST REVIEW ☆☆
This book picks up in Greece. Caroline has abruptly quit her job to go with Logan overseas. The Christmas holidays are approaching and Caroline has never missed a Christmas with her family. Her father, however, is still up upset with her choice to quit her job and pursuit of her career as a lawyer. Logan suggests that they go to his family for the holidays, which happens to be only a few hours from her parents. Caroline is extremely nervous to meet Logan's family, mostly because she's aware of Gina's impact on his family.
This story is so sweet and Logan proves to be an extra special boyfriend and his family has accepted Caroline as their own. The novella is full of heart-warming moments as Logan is brought down memory lane while Caroline is introduced to Clay family traditions. With Caroline's best friend, Aralia, and Logan's childhood friends/old band-mates along for the ride, there is plenty of laughter, tears, angst, and sexy-time.
Loved it! Logan and Caroline have been together a few months now and visit Logan's family for Christmas. We got an inside view into life with the Clay family, and it was everything you could imagine. Having Logan together with his old bandmates was a treat. Everyone accepted Caroline and made her truly feel that she was part of the family. There truly was a difference in the characters in this book. They grew up and grew into their relationship. I could continue reading Logan & Caroline’s story for many books to come, but will have to settle on knowing they got their HEA and now it’s time to know more about their friends. I have no doubt that we’ll get a glimpse into their life while we spend time with the others. Sarah Robinson did an amazing job with this story, the characters are realistic, they make you care about them and what’s happening in their world. I loved the story of Logan Clay, who doesn’t love a Rock God!
The story of Logan and Caroline continues in this book. It was such a sweet love story! Through all that they went through, they got their happy ever after.
I really this book as part of the “Forbidden Rockers” box set and I thought it was an excellent read!
I thought the book was very well written. It had a good, strong plot that was well developed with great characters. The author really brought them to life and captured the feelings of the characters really well and I really enjoyed getting to know more about them as the book progressed.
This was a really addictive page turner that I loved – it is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!!
I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I would give this book a 3.5 star rating. I actually was kind of bored with Logan and Caroline. I was more interested in Aralia and Dylan. I wanted to read more of them. The time line felt off to me. They say it's been a year since they've been together, but I thought it was only 7-9 months. With them only actually being together for about 1-2 months. I just couldn't connect with Logan or Caroline much. It's not that I didn't like them, I did, but something was missing for me. I know I'm in the minority with this review, and that's ok. It's a good storyline, just didn't grab me.
This book is much better than the first two. I got in to Logan and Caroline's story more. Logan also seemed stronger. A couple of editing errors but not enough to put me off. Part of Kindle Unlimited.
