Queen B’s Decree: Halton is what Melanie Moreland does best. Have an emotionally unavailable character fall in love.
Halton is our emotionally damaged lawyer and Fee, his client turned employee turned friend. Halton is this wonderful creature who roots for the underdog and the helpless. And naturally, Fee is one of those helpless.
What we see unfold is this: Halton goes from workaholic womanizer to a man rediscovering what truly is important. And Fee goes from this defeated, beaten down woman to someone who is strong and fearless.
Halton is friendly with the men of BAM, so it was nice to have a little visit from the previous characters in the series. Not my favorite of the series (sorry, not many people can beat out Van!) but definitely a worthwhile addition.
