The Crystal Lily

Rate this book
He was once a carefree boy, chasing freedom across wide open fields. Life, love, and loss would shape
him into something far deeper — a man torn between adventure and responsibility, passion and
heartbreak.


Set against the backdrop of rodeo dust and the unforgettable glow of a circus, *Aroha’s Cowboy* is
more than a romance. It’s a story of how love can break us, heal us, and change us forever. Readers
who crave cowboy grit, tender intimacy, and the bittersweet ache of real emotion will find themselves
swept away.

The Crystal Lily is an interesting story of a young man looking for adventure and new experiences in life. His journey is quite compelling and he, Peter, as a character, is likable and fully developed. The murder he got messed in is a puzzling one. And the romance is just heart-melting... I enjoyed the book and I can recommend it.

For me, this book was more adventure than a mystery. I enjoyed the descriptions of the places Peter visited. I felt compelled to know more about them! Peter is a nice guy but a bit confused, in my opinion. He falls in love and mixes with a murder almost at the same time! I guess it's normal for anyone to be confused :D. The Crystal Lily was a pleasant surprise, I'm glad I gave it a go.
