[Following is a volunteer review of "One Way or Another" by Mary J. Williams.]
One Way or Another: A Friends to Lovers Contemporary Romance (The Sisters Quartet Book 1) by Mary J. Williams is the epitome of a saucy romance intertwined with the lifestyle of the super-rich.
There was no way for Calder to have known that the night she met Adam, would be the night her opinion of men would be changed forever.
Having reached the end of her patience with the predatory and wretched Milo Prendergast incessantly trying to bed her, Calder walks out of a night club aiming to never see him again. However, Milo has a different plan in mind and tightly grabs her by the arm. Before Calder could react, a handsome stranger steps in and chivalrously puts Milo back in his place with strong-handed advice on how a lady should be treated. A chance encounter puts them in the same place at the same time again, as Calder literally runs into him in her family mansion the very next day. Witty banter and palpable sexually charged attraction pique their interest in each other.
Coming from money does not define the four sisters, and as the reader gets to know each one, their personalities differ, but their standards and morals are very much the same. Their relationships with each other are enviable to even the closest of friends. All of them have relatively absent fathers and their mother is not a role model of how a woman should behave, to say the least.
Williams carves a masterpiece of complex backgrounds for each of the main characters. Not just focusing on the romantic relationships, she also touches on family dynamics, sisterly bonds, and the lifestyles of independent young women with family money. I found myself breezing through the book with eager anticipation on what will await me on each page.
The absolute clear distinctions between protagonists and antagonists are unmistakable, and even when there was a sliver of doubt about Adam’s motives, I resolved to believe that he was a good guy no matter what. My favorite character in this book is Adam. His smooth demeanor is enchanting, and I thought that Calder and Adam made the perfect couple.
There is absolutely nothing I disliked about this book. I was mesmerized from the beginning. I would have been highly perturbed at the cliff-hanger ending if not for the knowledge that three more blissful instalments of this series await me.
I would not recommend this book to children due to the adult-themed lifestyle. There is some strategically placed profanity, but not so much to make it offensive and even the erotic scenes are written with extremely tasteful elegance. If you like a hypnotizing romance novel, you should definitely add this book to your reading list.
With virtually no spelling or grammar errors, and a plot that flowed seamlessly, I have no reservation in awarding this book a solid 4 out of 4 stars.
