CHARM! (Hardcover)
By: Kendall Hart

Avery Wilkins is in her prime. She's 30 years old, living in Manhattan, beautiful, smart, and the head of her own cosmetics company, Flair. But her enviable exterior hides deep heartache and painful secrets. Determined to launch a successful perfume, and hopeful that her relationship with handsome and supportive Marcus is getting serious, Avery is chasing her dreams--and running from her traumatic past.

Just when things seem to be on an even keel, Avery is hit with a succession of shocking setbacks, surprises, and betrayals: A drug-addicted colleague who threatens the future of Flair, one boyfriend who is incapable of fidelity, another who may have committed a terrible crime, a long-lost sister who isn't quite who she seems, and most disturbing of all, the sudden appearance of a woman claiming to be Avery's birth mother.

Avery is forced to question the loyalty of friends, lovers, and colleagues, and even her own beliefs about where she came from and who she is. Through it all, she draws on her ambition, grit, and cunning to outsmart her enemies, keep her company afloat, and protect herself from emotional meltdown. But when her archenemy resorts to kidnapping, has Avery finally met her match?

Dramatic, sexy, and fun, Charm! is a wickedly entertaining roman a clef by All My Children favorite Kendall Hart. Brimming with scandal, romance, backstabbing, and unpredictable twists, it is every bit as shocking and captivating as the character who wrote it.

Kirkus Reviews

Trashy fiction purportedly written by conniving Kendall Hart, Erica Kane's trouble magnet of a daughter on the daytime TV drama All My Children. Whoever's doing Kendall's writing for her (the publisher isn't telling) has come up with an appropriately soap-operatic plot. Avery Wilkins, the green-eyed beauty behind Flair Cosmetics, has a deep, dark secret or two. Her background includes an alcoholic mom suffering from Alzheimer's; an abusive, deadbeat dad; and her late business partner and married lover, who left 51 percent of the shares in Flair to his party girl daughter Parker. One day the phone rings. Close-up on Avery's startled green eyes as she learns that it's a famous actress, now on the skids, claiming to be her birth mother. How will Avery cope with learning she was adopted while at the same time trying to launch Flair's new perfume, juggle two beaus (Marcus and Brad) and sidestep Parker's jealous machinations? She'll put on a fabulous purple silk blouse (cue another close-up), do a People interview with her actress mom about their reuniting, then jet off to Paris to settle on the new scent. On her return, however, more trouble awaits. She learns she has a half-sister, Lucy, who may be passing secret information to a company rival. She shuttles Parker to a rehab facility. Feeling a bit queasy in the mornings, she realizes that she's pregnant by Marcus . . . or maybe Brad. Will the perfume get launched without further incident? Close-up on Avery's fabulous green eyes just before she's blindfolded by kidnappers and helicoptored to the wilds of the Adirondacks. What next? A daring escape, a pregnancy epiphany and a close-up of those amazing green eyes just before the fadeout. All My Children addicts, who have doted on Kendall's story all fall, will relish the posh clothes, dishy men and chaotic relationships. Others may prefer to switch channels.

So I have my copy of the book, it is 263 pages long and yes, I'm actually going to read it. LOL

If you haven't pre-ordered it you can get it at WalMart for $14.64.

Do me a favor, take a marker and write Slater after Kendall Hart.

LOL...I can do that!
