One Woman. One Man. One Unforgettable Love Story. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ~ ~ ~ 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 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.

When I first read the book description of ‘One Way or Another’ I got super excited about this book. I’m an only child and have always loved stories about siblings and especially sisters. So when I got approved to read this book I couldn’t be more excited. It took me a little while to get to this read though. But better later than never.

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 love books, I always have and always will. Writing is an extension of that and though it has taken me a while to get here, I now can officially call myself a published author. I grew up on a ranch in Eastern Washington, so I wanted to set my books on the Columbia River in Washington state. Harper Falls is completely fictitious, but I think anyone from the area will know right where it would be if it did exist. My hobbies are gardening, reading, baking(fattening desserts are my favorite), exercise(I don’t love it, but it is necessary due to the desserts), and animals. I had a dog but when he died I couldn’t bring myself to replace him. That is why I wrote Edgar, the dog into “If I Loved You”, I consider him my surrogate puppy until I can get a real one.
