Halton

Written by Melanie Moreland

Narrated by Maxine Mitchell and John Lane

When love turns to hate-that's where I come in.

I'm Halton Andrew Smithers, attorney. Hal to my clients and friends.

Messy divorces, deadbeat dads, runaway wives, cheating partners-I handle them all. I know the seedy side of love, and it isn't pretty. I avoid emotional attachments-I've seen all too often when hot passion turns to frozen tundra.

I satisfy myself with helping people behind the scenes. It gives me a sense of satisfaction that completes my life.

Until she enters it and everything I believe is turned upside down. She fills a void I never knew existed, and I know without her, my life will never be the same again.

For the first time, I want to try. For her. But am I strong enough?

Contains mature themes.

Melanie Moreland

New York Times/USA Today/Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.  While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.  Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Melanie Moreland writes the most amazing heroes. Every book amazes me how much she taps into my brain and writes the prince charming of my dreams. Halton is no exception to the book boyfriends I now hoard away to keep for my very own.

This is a hard book to shelve because I wavier between standalone and series. Although Halton was a secondary character - WITH THE MOST EPIC LINE EVER -in Van, his and Fiona's stands alone within the Vested Interest world. I have managed to hook a few readers. Because once you catch the magic of one VI story, you'll want to gobble the rest.

Halton is one of those characters where what you see is what you get. No hidden agenda or mask. This is who he is - driven and earnest. Many find that there is a heart of gold that lies underneath those sexy suits. He just sees it as doing the right thing. Fiona could easily be a character that is a damsel in distress. But she truly shines as just someone trying to make a relationship work and unable to continue to carry it. She meets Hal not as a woman needing saving - just as a woman needing to find herself again.

I loved how imperfect these characters were. They had their faults and showed them to the world. They didn't want money or power, just to do the right thing and be happy.

Melanie Moreland hit this out of the park again for me! This series is one not to be missed!
I say: Buy it!
