Kiara Diane must choose but a single, sexy memory to last her for an eternity in "Almost Heaven", a very good production from New Sensations and its Romance line. Indeed, Kiara has apparently passed away, and--instead of finding herself in the blissful glow of the afterlife--she's stuck in limbo...unable to cross over. (Of course, "limbo" in this case is a beautiful white mansion and its equally beautiful grounds, so things could be worse for her.) Aiding Kiara in her quest is an employee of the establishment--Xander Corvus. He, like the other souls who work there, has been unable to choose his own memory and has opted to stay behind. What unfolds is a sweet-but-tawdry tale rife with romantic romps and put forth in angelic style featuring elegant settings and exceptional production values. All of this occurs, of course, as Kiara searches for the meaning that she needs to move on to everlasting happiness.

This is a fantastic release that does romance right. Rather than trying to slow and tone things down to the point it's insulting, it focuses on chemistry and what makes sex great. The sex is very consistent and well captured, and the story plays into it very well. The technical aspects show plenty of care and the extras shine due to a great behind the scenes featurette. This is a great feature that shows how adult entertainment for couples should be done.
