Art of Romance Vol. 8

The four romantic scenes here are pretty soggy, even one of a girl following rose petals to her lover, but it works on the level of porn in the now overly familiar vignette structure: brief set-up of a situation, followed by 30 minutes of explicit sex.

James Avalon has a cast of relative unknown femmes (the studs are old faves Seth Gamble and James Deen plus who dat? types Brad Newman and Stirling Cooper), notable for their innocent-looking beauty,

Rose petals scene stars beautiful Lana Sharapova meeting Seth in the bathroom, then sex in the bedroom. A better segment is brought to life by the joie de vivre of relative veteran actress (compared to the other 3) Alison Rey having sex in the kitchen with James Deen after James fumbles around trying to prepare a special breakfast for her celebrating their four-month anniversary as lovers.

Taking a completely different tack, blonde Allie Nicole and Stirling Cooper are out of cell phone range when their car breaks down, putting them in cornball horror/porn territory of legging it for the nearest house to make a call. It's empty so they break in and, with that little bit of heightened danger, have sex in the living room. A corny scene gets a corny ending.

Remaining segment presents a new beauty Jessie Saint at a remote guest house, making love outdoors to Newman at twilight in an elegantly photographed silhouetted shot.
