Shocking and seductive. An addictively wild ride to self-lov

“WOW! THIS BOOK! What a wild, raw, and as author Brianne Davis says, totally gnarly ride about a Hollywood sex addict—and her inspiring journey toward self-love, personal growth, and healing. It’s so different from what I usually read, but I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend you pick up a copy.”

—Emily Giffin, New York Times Best-Selling Author of The Lies That Bind

“A powerful, raw and vulnerable read. Brianne wrote a witty and captivating roman à clef novel based on her own bottoming out as a sex and love addict. I applaud her for going deeper to help others understand the often-misunderstood disease of sex and love addiction.”

—OLIVIA MUNN, actress, The Newsroom, X-Men: Apocalypse

“Actress Brianne Davis takes us behind the glitz and glamour for a brutally candid, no-holds-barred look at Tinseltown’s forever-favorite addiction: sex. How does a pretty Southern girl-gone-Hollywood beat her demon of choice? You’ll cry... and laugh... as you join her harrowing and hilarious ride to sex-addiction sobriety.”

—SPENCER BECK, Former editor-in-chief of LA Confidential, editor-in-chief Los Angeles and contributing editor at Vanity Fair

“Add to the list of her talents as actress and performer the fact that Brianne Davis can write! Her stories are honest, almost to the point of painfully so, as she tells the story of navigating a world where sex and beauty are commodities to be used and abused by those who have the power. At the end of the day, like Sex and the City, this is a tale of finding one’s self and reasserting a true feminist ideal: that your destiny is yours to create.”

—LUCY DANZIGER, New York Times best-selling author of The Nine Rooms of Happiness and former editor-in-chief of SELF

“It takes a lot of courage to do what Brianne is doing in this book. To mirror her life into Roxanne is not only fearless, but wildly entertaining. It’s a world with so much darkness, yet Brianne has not only found the humor but the story to bring it to life because, let’s face it, we all want to know more.”

—JANA KRAMER, singer, actress on One Tree Hill, and New York Times best-selling author of The Good Fight

“It’s rare that I find a writing style that is so similar to my own with its raw shock value and wildly fun stories. This book encompasses all that and more. What a fun f%*king read.”

—GABRIELLE STONE, best-selling author of Eat, Pray, #FML

“Brianne Davis is a master storyteller who shares the down-and-dirty details of her experiences with sex addiction with unflinching honesty and surprising humor. Anyone wondering how they got there themselves will find answers in this book that’s full of insight, hope and heart.”

—MEGHANN FOYE, author of Meternity, deputy editor Seventeen and Woman’s Day

“Brianne’s writing draws you in with her authentic, original voice, channeled into her narrator Roxanne, who talks about sex and addiction in ways you haven’t heard before; no sugar-coating, no excuses, just the gritty details of her bumpy ride to the bottom, and her courageous march toward change and healing.”

—DANA STEVENS, writer/creator ABC’s Reckless, screenwriter City of Angels and screenplay adapter of New York Times best-selling author Nicolas Sparks’ Safe Haven

“Unflinchingly candid. Unspeakably sexy. And oh so curiously entertaining. Our central character Roxanne takes us into her world with raw, funny, dramatic and palpable truth, hijacking us into experiencing each and every sordid but titillating detail. Brianne Davis’ journey into her compelling addiction is a bold, honest page-turner. All through the eyes of her fundamentally flawed heroine, Roxanne, who wins our hearts.”

—STEVE ANTIN, Golden Globe winner for Burlesque

“An incredibly honest and unflinching portrayal of untreated sex and love addiction; from her days of using sex as a weapon to her remarkable healing.”

—PAUL GILMARTIN, comedian, award-winning host of the Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast

“They say secrets keep you sick. If this is true, then Brianne Davis’ book may be the long-awaited cure. Having had my own similar experiences on the other side of ‘Roxanne’s’ secret, I myself found an unexpected healing in the pages of this profoundly personal and bravely transparent book. What Brianne has done is not merely given us a peek into her deepest secrets. That would be too provocative for the sake of being provocative. Instead, she’s given us something much more nuanced and real; permission. Permission to boldly take a long look at one’s self in the mirror of life, and know, that with acceptance, hard work, and forgiveness, one always has the power to change the view. Will you?”
—KELLEE STEWART, actress My Boys and Hot Tub Time Machine, creator/writer of 29 Eggs

“Brianne paints that scene, warts and all, not in a movie role but in her real life. To say it bluntly, she did too much, too often and for too long. She did not need to share her journey from shame to grace, she chose to. It took courage to come out of the shadows and into the light, and she did it with humor and honesty. This is a must-read for anyone in recovery. Hats off for a job well done.”

—JAY PARKER, founder of No More Secrets and author of A Year of No More Secrets

“Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict is deeply honest and hilarious. If you’ve ever suffered for love—this book will tell you why. Creatively told through the vulnerable lens of a beautiful woman and storyteller who deeply wants to bring awareness and recovery to the deadly disease of sex and love addiction. Brianne Davis’ journey makes me believe in the possibility of achieving the greatest love of all: true self-love.”

—NADINE VELAZQUEZ, actress, Flight, My Name is Earl, Six

“It’s an understatement to say that Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict bares all... in EVERY sense of the word. It takes a hell of a lot of guts, tenacity and yes, willingness to expose your soul so that others may learn from your tumultuous, sometimes self-induced/crazed experiences. I applaud Brianne on her journey through recovery, proving to all of us that it is never too late to reinvent yourself.”

—ELLEN HOLLMAN, actress, The Matrix 4, Spartacus

“An honest, sometimes gut-wrenching, exploration into the painful truth of trying to survive life as a sex and love addict. This ‘shit show in a fuck factory’ is a must-read for all the women out there hiding their heart behind their ‘cool girl’ facade in relationships!”

—DANIELLE HARRIS, actress, Halloween 4 and 5, Rob Zombie’s Halloween

“Brianne Davis takes us inside—way inside—a life wilder, darker, and more healing than we ever thought Hollywood could be. Roxanne’s journey is one we’d never want to be on, but one we all have shared in some way. If you’ve ever kept a secret and dared to face the shame of recovering your best self, Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict is a must-read!”

—BONNIE GILLESPIE, casting director, coach and author of Self-Management for Actors: Getting Down to (Show) Business

“Shocking and seductive. An addictively wild ride. Brianne Davis’ raw honesty is a fresh look at addiction and female sexuality.”

—FIONA GUBELMANN, actress, The Good Doctor, Wilfred
