"A powerful, raw and vulnerable read.”—Olivia Munn, actress, The Newsroom
"Unflinchingly candid. Unspeakably sexy. And oh, so curiously entertaining."—Steve Antin, Golden Globe winner, Burlesque
Imagine if Sex and the City's Samantha discovered she was an
addict and her drug of choice was MEN. Go on a hilarious, inspiring, and at
times, shocking journey as Roxanne conquers her fears, changes her ways,
gets closer to healthy relationships and begins loving herself a little more
each day.
After years of working as an image-obsessed actress in Hollywood, Roxanne finds herself at rock bottom from a disease that is anything but glamorous.
In her first year of recovery, Roxanne has to take accountability for her past.
From tales of being mistaken for a prostitute at the Hotel Bel-Air to botching
a threesome attempt with an A-list celebrity, she must face the truth about
herself and stop playing the victim.
Roxanne's odyssey of using sex and love—as destructive and beguiling as an
alcoholic reaching for a bottle—is a veritable rollercoaster of ups and downs,
laughter and tears, and a true testament to facing your absolute truth and
conquering your fears.
Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict has the vibrant,
relatable vibe of chick lit, the soul-baring honesty of
a memoir and the wisdom of a self-help book.
So take a front-row seat into this complex world and the 10 RULES Roxanne
learns along the way.
“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.
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
“Brianne tells the story of navigating a world where sex and beauty are
commodities to be used and abused by those who have the power. 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 lets 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
Excerpt - Chapter One
The Beginning of the End
THE BEGINNING OF THE end started in my one-car length driveway, not very glamorous for a Hollywood sex and love addict. Believe me, I wish it was a better location for my plight—something ΓΌber-fabulous that sets me apart from all the other kinds of addicts who hit their rock bottoms. Maybe I could have been on a star-studded red carpet or throwing rocks at some A-list celebrity’s Bentley. But no, I bottomed out in my small driveway in front of my two-bedroom home in Culver City, California.
I was standing there trying to prevent two men from killing each other. One was from New York City, so I’ll call him NYC. He was a rough short brown-haired thug who had a huge chip on his over-the-top and annoying Method-acting shoulder. The other one was a longtime boyfriend from back home in the South, let’s call him ATL. Yep, this is another battle between North and South.
ATL was a blonde, green-eyed mama’s boy who thrived on taking care of everyone else. The sweetest person you’d ever meet, almost to a fault. ATL and I were high school sweethearts from Atlanta (yeah...that’s where I got ATL). I moved to Los Angeles 10 years ago, and we were maintaining an on-and-off long-distance relationship.
Here’s where it gets sticky. I had been with both of these men for the past two years on-again, off-again, sometimes getting confused when I was on. Sounds pretty bad, I agree, but I have always told myself men get away with it, so why can’t I?
I just loved to have multiple partners at one time, especially if they were both out-of-towners. It kept me on my toes. I would get a high from spinning lies to each guy. One of my fantasies was to mold two or three guys together to create the perfect partner.
And on that day, that fantasy bit me in the ass.
