This volume of the Connoisseur series, subtitled "Exotic Edition," features Lexington Steele working with four performers with call-it-ethnic backgrounds.

On a balcony, Kira Noir surveys the scenery dressed in black and red fetish gear, but the camera zeroes in on her G-string-clad ass as the cameraman observes, "There's a reason some things are famous." Noir comes around on the tease, and her sunny grin as she sashays around the backyard pool is more welcoming than the aloof oh-alright-take-your-pictures attitude often seen in pre-scene teases. Indoors, she coquettishly says, "I just want him to like me," as if there's any doubt and simpers, "You want to see my pussy? What kind of girl do you think I am?"

"Performer of the year," the cameraman responds.

When Steele shambles in and says, "We have to stop meeting this way," Noir purrs, "Why? Why would we stop?"

They spend the next half-hour in a chatty, informal scene that brings the camera and the viewer right into the action, straight through to Noir fingering some of Steele's facial tribute into her mouth and giggling, "This tastes like he likes me."

The next scene starts with a tight close-up of Nicole Doshi's G-string-clad ass as she twerks and crawls away from camera, up the stairs of a familiar multi-level location house. Steele walks in, sits down, and Doshi wastes no time grinding on his lap and opening his pants, exclaiming, "Holy fuck! Oh my GAWD!" at what she finds in there, establishing that this is not the longtime-friends reunion we saw in scene one. When she bends over for standing doggie, director Mike John establishes Steele going in and then swings around to get Doshi's facial and vocal reactions. They spend most of their time in Doshi-on-top positions, the better to control how much Steele enters her at any given time, but her enthusiasm continues unabated throughout.

In her tease, Carlita Ray changes things up with red lingerie, telling the camera that she's new, from Bogota, Colombia, but the camera reverts to its old tricks, focusing on her ass as the cameraman directs her, switching between English and Spanish. Steele takes his time with her, rubbing his head on her ass before he opens his pants as she grins apprehensively. They hook up in reverse cowgirl as her face betrays all the pain/pleasure she's feeling, a recurring motif in the scene as director John focuses on her reactions as well as the piston action.

Numi Zarah takes the anchor, grinningly teasing in a blue sequined bikini before coming face-to-dick with Steele. After the oral preliminaries, he sits and she lowers herself oh-so-slowly onto him, leaning forward, legs tensed and arms on his thighs to stop him from going too deep. When she warms up and takes him all in, she moans and gasps as John catches her reactions in tight close-up, but all is forgiven by the time she takes the pop on her kisser, asking, "You want me to clean it off?"

Clever camerawork and the inclusion of new performers to supplement the seasoned pros elevate this from the run-of-the-lube-bottle rut that some lesser wall-to-wall videos run into.
