Behind-The-Scenes extra : A comprehensive 15 minutes segment that craftfully alternates between set interviews with most of the cast and the filming of the scenes. Dani Woodward keeps on flubbing her lines because she can't wait to have sex with Joey, and Steven St Croix comes out as easy-going and professional.

Short Story : The lives & loves of a squadron of firefighter, as a new recruit integrates their station.

SCENE BREAKDOWN :

1) NATALIA WOOD & STEVEN ST CROIX

Natalia & Steven share a bottle of fine wine on a softly lit balcony as a prelude to some tender love-making. Natalia is particularly cute in a spring dress and with a flower in her hair as she goes down on Steven. Apparently, the blow-job is excellent, but it's difficult to tell with either the glass of wine or the table-for-two obstructing the view. Yes, Mr Steele, you've got style, but could we please see the penis ? Natalia mounts on Steven, her fine body bouncing cowgirl on the stud's crooked shaft. Both performers have great energy & chemistry, which counterbalances Steele's slow camera pans. They keep at it in doggy & finish in missionary. A cool scene, entirely carried by Natalia & Steven.

2) BROOKE & LEE STONE

Back at the fire-station, athletic Lee Stone decides to give big-titted Brooke another good workout after her gym session. She sits on the floor to give him a blow-job. Kudos to the director for giving us plenty of full body shots during this scene. Stone lays her over his firefighter uniform to tenderly tickle her twat and judging from the way her boobs fall, these stunners are natural ! She stands up against a heavybag for some sensual standing scissor, then they go at it on the floor in reverse cowgirl. Good colours and lots of body shots make this another enjoyable scene. He comes on her boobs (who wouldn't have ?)

3) DOMINICA LEONI & CHEYNE COLLINS

Dominica, an A-cup redhead in cut-off jeans, gets licked by Cheyne against an ambulance. This scene is entirely shot in exterior in a sun-drenched back alley, as shown in the behind-the-scenes segment. She strokes Cheyne with both hands before putting him in her mouth. She grasps the ambulance door handle as he switches to doggy. Both performers are entirely nude, which is quite courageous given the conditions. Yet again, maybe this is Adam & Eve's headquarters car-park. She sits on the doorsteps for the missionary, then he comes on her belly. Generic & uninspired.

4) LAUREN PHOENIX & STEVEN ST CROIX

By the side of an outdoor sauna (I'm not sure firefighters can really afford those kind of home luxury), gorgeous Lauren Phoenix takes excellent oral care of Steven. Instead of reciprocating (what a twirp !), he sits on the marble floor and lets lean, small-chested Lauren sit on his cock. Not only is Lauren gorgeous, she also has plump, firm buttocks which St Croix straddles in doggy. He looks like he has a hard time containing himself, and finally lets loose on her face.

5) AMBER RAIN & BILLY GLYDE

Inside the same Beverly Hills home, studly Billy Glyde briefly serenades Amber's perky nipples before she plunges headfirst on his insanely fat cock. Steele does it again. Instead of letting us comfortably enjoy Amber's oral skills, he decides to put a flower vase at just the wrong place, for the sheer pleasure of obstructing the view. And once the camera finally pans away from the vase, he spends the whole time focusing on Amber's buttcheeks, with her head bobbing in the distance. Basically, you can't see anything. The same shit happens with the cunnilingus. If this is art, I'd rather go to Saatchi. The vase is less conspicuous during the reverse cowgirl. The only thing that could get this gay reviewer to achieve an erection was the sight of Billy Glyde's tanned, rock-hard body and fantastic marble butt plunging into willow blonde Amber in the final doggy sequence. Otherwise, this scene is scandalously prententious.

6) DANI WOODWARD & JOEY RAY

Pretty redhead Dani Woodward & formerly hunky Joey Ray enjoy an evening conversation by the fireplace on the veranda. The colors are once again slightly faded & beautiful, faithfully rendering but also enhancing their natural skin tones. After foreplay, Dani impales herself on Ray's cock, first in cowgirl then in reverse. Full body shots and luckier angles make this scene more enjoyable than the previous one, but Joey comes too fast on her belly.

THE LOWDOWN : Though at times still hindered by awkwardly artful (?) framing & angles, this Nicholas Steele budgeted feature is still much better than his usual work. Carried by excellent & involved performers (Steven St Croix at the front), "Code Blue"'s modern settings help alleviate Steele's trademark tralala brand of erotica and delivers some sexy, enjoyable moments for those in search of something softer. His appreciation of the human form is beyond reproach. Now if he could get rid of the vases.
