Review: One Way Or Another, By Mary J. Williams

434 Words2 Pages

One Way or Another, a contemporary romance by Mary J. Williams, is the first in the Sisters Quartet series. This series starts with Calder Benedict. She is one of four sisters born to an extremely wealthy, but flighty, socialite mother. Even though these four sisters are wealthy with trust funds, they are hardworking down-to-earth women. In this book, unspoiled blueblood Calder seems to run into an intriguing and charismatic Adam everywhere she goes. In true romance fashion, opposites attract. The attraction sizzles from their first meeting.

There is an ongoing story running alongside the main one that involves all the sisters, their four different fathers, their mother and her current lover, among others. The book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger regarding their family fortune. These sisters are …show more content…

It has a realistic story line, humor, a touch of suspense, strong independent women, oh-so-sexy men, and of course steamy romance. What is not to love. I absolutely cannot wait to read to next books, so I can see what is going to happen with the other sisters. I would have loved a little more information about the sisters though. We are introduced to them, but information was withheld too. It adds to the intrigue and makes you want to read the other book, but it frustrated me, because I wanted just a little more. This is definitely a must read.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars simply because of the errors in it. In chapter 12, Adam’s last name is printed as ‘Steele’ instead of ‘Stone.’ Throughout the book there are errors in punctuation. There are commas missing. Periods are missing and in a couple places, there are two periods at the end of sentences. I noticed missing words. In the Epilogue, Mary has part of the title of the omelet in italics. In fiction, there is more leniency for incomplete sentences and fragments. There seems to be an excessive amount of one and two-word sentences that made it a little more difficult to

Comparing Romiette And Julio By Sharon Drape

It was fascinating because it was filled with umpteen of details and I was able to paint pictures of the stories. All in all, though, the plot really amused me and I couldn 't wait to see what would happen at the end. I liked the way the stories kept me tied up and that it wasn 't just a predictable fairy tale. I loved the ending of the stories because it didn 't just lay everything out flat. But it left me imagining what would go on to happen between the two couples.

Analysis Of Blood In Their Eyes By Grif Stockley

1367 Words | 6 Pages

At the beginning of the book, there is also a chronology of events to be used as reference when reading. At the end of the book is an index with all of the sources Stockley used throughout his writing. When reading the introduction and the beginning chapters, there are multiple spelling and word usage errors. This lessens the scholarly merit of the book, because, one would think that a scholarly accepted book would not have simple spelling, grammar, and word usage mistakes; however, this lies in fault with the editor, as it is their job to correct the mistakes in the

Ashes In The Snow Chapter Summaries

1262 Words | 6 Pages

It follows a brave girl who survives in the most unsurvivable situations, and it’s very inspiring. One of the reasons I love this book is that it’s set in the middle of World War 2. My favorite genre of books is historical fiction, so this book was a good fit for me. It was also very interesting because in most WW2 fiction I’ve read, it takes the perspective of the Jewish people against Hitler, but this takes the perspective of the Lithuanian people against the Soviets. It showed me a different side of the story in WW2 that I didn’t know existed before I read Ashes In The Snow.

Pride And Prejudice Syntax Analysis

It is a great love story only enhanced by the outlandish characters and constant mockery. The pacing of the novel is slow at first until half way through the first volume. The plot then accelerates and by the third volume it is hard to put down. Characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady De Bourgh were all hysterical caricatures meant that livened up the novel during times when the plot was thin. The novel would not have been as cohesive or interesting without characters to add comic relief.

The Idea Of 'Religion In Garden Of Eden'

545 Words | 3 Pages

My experience with this novel can be explained as a roller coaster ride, it had its ups and downs but overall it is a very educational and enlightening book. This novel made me question several things like religion,science and history; for example, the chapters "Darwin and Freud" basically followed the ideas I learned in Ap Biology but went into more detail, this made me happy because I could finally make a real life connection to the book and understand it more. On the opposite side some parts that made me really think and question included the chapters "The "Garden Of Eden", "Two Cultures" and several others because they included the idea of religion. The idea of religion for myself is a hard topic to understand for a non-religious person,

Even though I have not read the book fully since summer, looking through it and reviewing I felt the same way. Because of the changing setting, the characters, and the plot, In his steps was not enjoyable to read. To be fair, when you read a book in a short amount of time details will go over your head. On the other hand, when reviewing over a book I believe that you should not have put a lot of effort in just understanding the order of events or the branching plots. I believe the book can do a lot of good but only towards the right audience.
