Dominick Dunne seemed to live his entire adult life in the public eye, but in this biography Robert Hofler reveals a conflicted, enigmatic man who reinvented himself again and again. As a television and film producer in the 1950s-1970s, hobnobbing with Humphrey Bogart and Natalie Wood, he found success and crushing failure in a pitiless Hollywood. As a Vanity Fair journalist covering the lives of the rich and powerful, he mesmerized readers with his detailed coverage of spectacular murder cases-O.J. Simpson, the Menendez brothers, Michael Skakel, Phil Spector, and Claus von B low. He had his own television show, Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege, and Justic. His five best-selling novels, including The Two Mrs. Grenvilles, People Like Us, and An Inconvenient Woman, were inspired by real lives and scandals. The brother of John Gregory Dunne and brother-in-law of Joan Didion, he was a friend and confidante of many literary luminaries. Dunne also had the ear of some of the world's most famous women, among them Princess Diana, Nancy Reagan, Liz Smith, Barbara Walters, and Elizabeth Taylor. Dunne admitted to inventing himself, and it was that public persona he wrote about in his own memoir, The Way We Lived Then. Left out of that account, but brought to light here, were his intense rivalry with his brother John Gregory, the gay affairs and relationships he had throughout his marriage and beyond, and his fights with editors at Vanity Fair. Robert Hofler also reveals the painful rift in the family after the murder of Dominick's daughter, Dominique-compounded by his coverage of her killer's trial, which launched his career as a reporter.Binding Type: Paperback

Gay but not out
Format: Kindle
At a time when five women of the US national soccer team are out, Sage Bryson is struggling. A star player, but out of the squad with injury, she stumbles into a secret attraction to a dorky zoo events co-ordinator. Willa. The feeling is mutual but lacks Sage's long term commitment.
A series of some unusual, but amusing, situations draws them together. But commitment fears on both sides keeps them apart. Clever writing with some amusing one-liners, the story bumps along the 'will she, won't she' road, with occasional cliff hangers. A good read.

Great chemistry and inspirational!
Format: Kindle
Injured World Cup and Olympic soccer star Sage Carson meets up with sweet Willa Bellamy, an events coordinator for the Denver Zoo, at their fifteen high school reunion. Both seemingly out of their elements they ditch it to go out for pizza at the favorite high school joint and develop a mutually satisfying plan as fake girlfriends. Sage needs to be seen with Willa to help improve her messy rebellious persona while Willa needs a date to her ex's wedding and bachelorette weekend.
Not only was this story beautifully crafted with Bryce's wonderful dialogue, sense of humor and flirty interactions, but the development of the characters, including secondary, grew throughout the book.
I loved the impact Willa had on Sage just by being her authentic self and I loved the belief Willa had in Sage to think beyond her career as a soccer star. They were good for each other, truly seeing each other's finest capabilities. I enjoyed the settings of the beach, soccer world and zoo, but it was their beautiful journey together that made this book so good. I highly recommend it!

What a delightful fake romance story.
Format: Kindle
Will a is nice to the point of everyone taking advantage of her. Sage is so wrapped up in herself she can't see how lost she has become. These two make a much needed contract to fake a relationship for personal connection. The characters are are funny, have an instant attraction and spend months trying to avoid feelings. Bryce Oakley gives a great no fake angst story about mutual attraction that brings friendship and an inner strength to the MC. It is so fun to read with moments that will touch your heart. I am never disappointed with this authors writing.

Goooolllaaazzzooo!
Format: Kindle
A love story starring a fictional USWNT player?! I was sold. The writing was flowed and never took me out of the story. The characters felt pretty real, which is always appreciated. The details of the soccer world made me smile. It made my heart happy to read about this fictional player finding love. Stans of couples in the USWNT and NWSL will adore Willa and Sage's cuteness. Overall, very enjoyable and would highly recommend💜
