It's become quite the TV trend of late: Bravo's biggest Housewives are moonlighting as Lifetime movie stars. This year alone, we've seen the likes of Lisa Rinna, Denise Richards, NeNe Leakes and Bethenny Frankel from The Real Housewives franchise pop up in dramatic Lifetime titles like Mommy Meanest, Hunting Housewives and Danger in the Dorm. And you can add yet another The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmate to the mix, with Garcelle Beauvais leading Tempted by Love, the network's new May-December romantic drama presented by Terry McMillan.
McMillan, of course, is the writer behind such popular novels as Waiting to Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Disappearing Acts and A Day Late and a Dollar Short, all of which have famously been adapted for the screen. Tempted by Love is a creative collaboration between the scribe, Beauvais and Lifetime: it centers on Ava (played by Beauvais, who also is an executive producer), a world-renowned chef living in Europe, who rushes home to care for her elderly aunt (Donna Biscoe) in South Carolina after she suffers from a fall.
