Director Skye Blue takes us into auteur territory with this arty eroti-core group of scenes. First and best is a shadowy encounter in an almost empty room between 2002 AVN Award winners Nicole Sheridan and Voodoo. The emphasis is on the visual and sensual, as Sheridan wraps her red lace panties around her partner's cock and the camera lovingly caresses their bodies. Another highlight is Karlie Montana and Malibu's mutual lesbian seduction through a chain-link fence, ending with oral action and toy play.

The rest of the scenes are equally stylish, with sultry mood and steamy romance-novel narration. Though it's all a little corny and slow, the fucking is hot in a languid, dreamy kind of way, and the atmosphere is undeniably sensual making this excellent fare for couples in the mood.

Retailing: Better than a Harlequin romance, and great for couples.
