In ‘One Way or Another’ we meet Calder Benedict. Calder is one of the Benedict sisters. The Benedict sisters come from a lot of money, but they all work hard too and aren’t spoiled or anything. Calder works hard for her charity and is very successful. But the thing Calder isn’t successful in is finding a nice man. But when Calder meets Adam Stone things finally seem to look up for her. Adam is hardworking and doesn’t seem to be interested in Calder’s money at all.
From the moment I started reading this book I wanted to keep on reading. I was just so curious what would happen next. And this was definitely something due to the writing because this book was really not for me. For starters the characters just didn’t really spark my interest. The Benedict sisters where four sisters, one twin. And they all have different fathers. Yes, four different fathers even with the twins. Well.. I know this can happen, there’s a very small change of this happening though and this was just a little to much.
The romance between Calder and Adam was just something I couldn’t feel. I didn’t feel their chemistry. And for someone who has trouble trusting people, it seemed to me Calder trusted Adam very fast. I just didn’t really believed there romance, and I really wished I did. I just missed that butterflies in my tummy feeling a good romance novel makes me feel.
What I also didn’t really get was that book cover. It just doesn’t seem to fit this book if you ask me. The Benedict sisters are rich New York woman, and Adam supposedly only wears very nice clothes. That cover makes me think of a sweet country read, the opposite of what this book was really.
Like I said earlier, the writing in this book is good because it still made me want to keep on reading. I just wanted to know what was going to happen. But this book wasn’t for me.
I loved this book. The book was mainly about Calder and Adam. Calder had three sisters by a very flighty mom who had been married and divorced 6 times. The only reason they all had their considerable fortune still was the grandfather who left everyone money thought only men should control things. The girls would get their trust when they turned 30, but the family money could only be controlled by a male heir (of which there was not one yet). Adam and Calder were raised very different but the sparks flew between them. The girls had a wonderful relationship with each other, but tolerated their fathers (4 different ones) and their mother. I can't wait to follow up with the next book in the series.
I received an advanced copy for an honest review.
Great story about the bond of 4 sisters dealing with a headache of a mother nd a variety of fathers. In their rich lifestyle they do not shy away from the belief in real love.
The focus of the story is on Calder and Adam. Two people drawn to each other, an lost love at first sight story. Their are mishaps and adventures, sexy scenes and everyday talk. A really good story, and I look forward to more stories about the sisters and whether or not they find their true loves too.
Enjoyed it

Loved the book. The first book in the new series about the 4 Benedict sisters Calder, Bryce, Aldi and Destry. The story of Calder and Adam is fun and witty. Held my interest throughout the story. Story is about strong and witty Calder finding her other half Adam who is also strong and understanding. Absolute delight to get to know all the four Benedict sisters, Mrs F and Adam.
Enjoyable read. Even with all the drama in this book it was still a cute fun story. The inevitable fact that opposites attract is a huge factor in this story. Calder & Adam couldn’t be more different but that difference is what attracts each other. Both are strong, steady & successful in their fields & the Chance meeting outside a club starts it all. With a few setbacks & a deliberate set up they muddle their way through the trouble brewing to find the secure relationship neither thought they’d ever have. Recommend this book.
This was the first story I have read by this author and I look forward to reading many more. Loved the quirky sisters in this story, I found all of then entriguing. Adam is what we all wish for in the perfect man, and boy is it fun reading about him. I loved the authors writing style, it made for a great read.
Calder Benedict was one of the four Benedict sisters who each had the same mother but a different dad. Even her twin, had a different father. She was rich but not spoiled. All she really wanted was to be loved but she really didn't believe it was possible but she didn't believe she could ever trust a man with her heart. That was true until she met Adam Stone.
Adam hadn't been born into money but he was a successful businessman and he had never been in love. He had never wanted that for himself of believed it was possible until he met Calder and she made him want a forever kind of love. She got under his skin and checked off all the right boxes. Even though she was rich, she was down to earth in so many ways. They fit perfectly and he was protective of her, and she was a calming force that he sometimes needed.
This was a beautiful love story. There were some f-bombs, which I don't really like and there were sex scenes that mostly faded to black, which I appreciated. The story was well written and helped the reader connect to the characters. I loved the connection that was built between the Benedict sisters and between Adam and his mother and closest friends.
I was given an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Mary has delivered another wonderful story. The first in her new series we are introduced to four sisters. Growing up in one of the wealthiest families in New York, they have learned to depend on each other and have each other's backs. In this first story we meet Calder and Adam, and we follow them as they discover people with different backgrounds can find happiness together.
One Way or Another is a well written romance. Good plot and well developed characters. I really enjoyed this author’s writing and will be reading more of her books.
I really liked this book. I loved the relationship of each sister and their different personalities. I can't wait to read more about each sister. Their mom was something else and I'm curious to see what happens in the end.
One of my favourite romantic authors at the moment. All the ingredients you need for a romantic read with likeable characters and a feel of comfort food but for your mind while reading. Any fan of romance stories can’t go wrong with this author or this story.
My first book by Mary J Williams and I am impressed. Have to say I totally loved this. It was smart and witty and held my interest the whole way through. What wonderful characters and storyline along with a few twists. Great strong women that I'm looking forward to reading more about in the following stories in the series.
