From the outside, the world of the ultra-rich might seem exciting and glamorous. But Andi, Calder, Bryce and Destry Benedict know the truth. Deception and deceit have followed them since birth. Their parents are emotional train wrecks. Men care about nothing but their money.The Benedict sisters learned early on—the only people they can count on are each other. One by one, four sexy, determined … One by one, four sexy, determined men will do their best to prove them wrong.
Calder Benedict worked hard to earn her place in the New York City charity community. At first, she was labeled nothing more than a rich girl with too much time on her hands. From the ground up, she built Erica’s Angels into a successful multi-million dollar organization. Her only goal—to help as many people as humanly possible.
Unlike Calder, Adam Stone wasn’t born rich. Everything he had, he earned. While over the years, he’d acquired a certain amount of polish, his blood would always be working class red—not high society blue like Calder’s.
What starts out as fun and games—an undeniable attraction neither wants to ignore—quickly turns into something more. Calder wants to believe Adam cares about her—not her money—but she’s been burned before. Can she trust her heart? Can she trust Adam?
When a dangerous force comes after everything Calder holds dear, she’ll have to decide if Adam is part of the threat, or someone she never thought she’d find—the love of her life.

One Way or Another is the first volume of The Sisters Quartet, a series of romance novels by Mary J. Williams. I don’t normally read romance novels, but the synopsis captured my attention. And I’m glad I chose to read it because the story is very charming; reading this full-blown romance novel brought me back to my younger years when I was still a believer of true love and romance.
I love that the author wasn’t too ambitious in writing extravagant incidents to impress the readers. The whole flow of the story was simple and yet, downright entertaining. The conflict was realistic — glamorous versus desperate middle-class characters. The author created such wonderful individuals: The Benedict Sisters, Mrs. Finch, and Adam Stone. On the other hand, Aurora, Ingo, and Edwin are pests in the society, but the author was successful in building such despicable characters because they only made the protagonists stand out.
Overall, I am giving this 5 out of 5 stars. Mary J. Williams was successful in adding romance to my reading preference. The only time I put this down was to relieve my uncooperative bladder, and this is probably the first time in my adulthood that I enjoyed a romantic novel. The editing was impeccable, so it’s only fair to give this a perfect rating. I would, however, limit this to mature readers who like romantic novels. The sexual content isn’t appropriate for all ages but there’s nothing too explicit about the love scenes so I would say that the author was artistic in that area as well.
Wonderful
This was a great beginning to this story. Can’t wait to find out what with the rest of the sisters. But I think the love story between Calder & Adam is really great. Just have to get rid of mom’s boyfriend.
A new author to me so wasn’t sure about the writing style but wanted to give the story a chance. I really enjoyed this story with the twists and turns and just how both Calder and Adam deal with it all. It pulls you in from the start. The sisters are there for each other in everything they have to deal with.
This book is the beginning of a new series about four sisters. Strong women who relay on each other for support and love. Each sister will have their own story. This is Calder Benedict’s story.
She meets Adam, a man that will turn her life upside down, and whom she will fall in love with.
The engaging plot is filled with humor, suspense, and romance. But mostly , with the wonderful relationship of loving sisters.
Looking forward to future books in this series.
I was gifted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
This book is the start of the Benedict sisters series. What these girls have gone thru and overcome with the way their mother and their respective dads treat them, is nothing shy of miraculous. In this book, Calder literally runs into Adam and becomes intrigued by him, because he seems to be a man of many secrets and talents. Adam will soon learn that he is not just becoming involved with Calder, but also her three sisters as they are like the Four Musketeers. It is fun to see how Calder and Adam navigate their way to a HEA. I think this is a good start to the series.
This was such a great romance book. I loved the fact that it did not focus on the sex between the characters and really more focused on their relationship.
I am so glad this is book ONE in this new series, One Way or Another (The Sisters Quartet Book 1).
The Benedict family is rich and you might expect the daughters to be spoiled. This is the furthest thing from the truth. All four of them, Calder, Andi, Bryce, and Destry Benedict, are looking to make a difference in the world. They are a very close knit group since they had to depend on each other as they were growing up. Their mom seems to be the furthest thing from a nurturing parent. They do have Mrs. Finch, their housekeeper and mother figure, to keep them grounded.
Calder meets Adam and he gets the impression that due to her wealth and her affluent background, they have nothing in common. Not true, and what transpires is a great love story. Adam doesn’t only have to win Calder’s love, he must show her sisters that he’s the one for their sister.
Good plot and you learn much about the family history and how the girls were named early on. Add in a bit of biological intrigue and you get a very interesting book!
Wow! Another wonderful new series by gifted author Mary J. Williams! This is the first in a series of four books: each book is about one of four very close, loving, fiercely loyal sisters. One Way or Another is Calder’s story. Calder is independent, successful, rich– and wary of uncaring, gold-digging men. She has good reason, her father is one. Thank goodness for the love of sisters, because she gets none from her fluff of a mother. Calder is not looking for love, never thinking she’ll find it. But then she meets Adam.
Adam comes from a poor, difficult past. He has worked hard for the money he now enjoys. He has no interest in spoiled, rich women.
When they meet, there is attraction. As they spend time together, fun and attraction becomes more. Could this be love? Does he feel the same, or is he just after her money? Can she trust her heart, can she trust him?
I loved this story and can’t wait to read all of the other sisters’s adventures in love!
