Initial Expectations: I really enjoyed Naked Hollywood 1: Faking It, and have high expectations for this as well.

Initial Reaction: It’s every bit as good as its predecessor, which makes me really look forward to future episodes.

Who Should Watch It : Couples, people looking for more realistic sex, and anybody who wants a little romance with their porn

Who Should Avoid It: Raincoaters and anybody looking for more extreme sex

Audio /Video Quality: The audio is fairly clear, but a bit on the low side while feeling like it was kind of maxed out when recorded. I had to turn the volume up to the point that there was almost a wind noise that accompanied the rest of the audio, and the voices had the slight crackle that you get when the recorders are maxed out. The video, however, is very clear and looks great. It’s good enough that I could clearly make out blonde pubic hair on a realistically toned body. There’s a few shadows here and there, but they normally serve to enhance the mood rather than detract from it.

Music: The music is very quiet, even more so than the regular audio. The styles range a bit, sometimes being soft and romantic and other times being a little more driving, but it almost always stays far in the background where you have to listen for it to hear it.

Menus: The main menu is nicely animated and shows quite a bit of care. It really gave me a great first impression of the DVD, and made me glad I had a chance to review it. The chapter menu is fairly standard, letting you choose a scene based on a small clip of the scene and a scene number.

The Feature: Nina, Dee, Keri, and Lauren are back. They’re all still looking for the perfect romance, but this time the focus falls more on Keri than the other girls. She thinks she’s found the perfect man in Billy Glide when he gives her four orgasms in a night, but with Keri’s slutty nature, the main question the girls seem to have right away is if it’s lust or love, and if it is love, can it last?

Keri Windsor starts things out right away with Billy Glide in almost every porn star’s fantasy location, a bed. Billy kisses her all over, while Keri seems torn between liking it and being a little annoyed at his technique. He works his way down to her pussy, and gives it and her anus some vigorous tonguing. She reciprocates nicely by sucking his cock while stroking it, letting that magic tongue of hers do some of the work, and also taking him into her throat. They work through some of the common positions, starting with doggie and moving on to spoon, before going through a few missionary variations. Billy finally ends things blowing has nut butter onto Keri’s chest. It’s a hot scene and has some great energy and heat. Keri and Billy really seem to play well off each other throughout the scene, and it was a nice relief to not see reverse cowgirl in a scene. It’s a very nice scene to start things off with, including some nice intensity, but not so much that it might drive some people off.

Dee starts out the next scene passionately kissing T. J. Cummings, who just broke up with his boyfriend and was supposedly gay. They start stripping down in the kitchen, where she was making dinner, and move to the living room where she gives him a sensual blowjob before laying back and letting him eat her pussy. I have to admit, that he really seems to know how to tongue a twat for a gay guy. She slowly climbs on him and they fuck while he caresses her body and they kiss. Dee also lets T. J. take her from behind before he blows his nut butter on her ass in a pretty impressive pop. It’s a very sensual scene that’s helped out immensely by the great chemistry. It almost seems out of place when he spanks her ass when they get going. If this is how gay porn is supposed to be, I might have to make a reviewing change here sometime. Unfortunately, most of what I’ve seen offered had all guys and no Dee.

Billy Glide returns for another scene, this time with heavily implanted redhead Darla Crane, who looks so top heavy here that I’m kind of surprised she could stand up under her own power. As he did with Keri, Billy quickly works his way down for a little dinner at the Y before letting his partner wrap their mouth around his cock. Billy starts out fucking Darla as she lies on her back and side, and then lets her flips over so he can fuck each of her holes from behind. Darla takes Billy’s guy goo on her chest to finish things off, and appears pretty happy about it. Billy looked like he did a pretty good job on her, so she might have been smiling about the sex rather than just being able to see afterwards.

Lauren Montgomery, a woman whose looks show that some women improve with aging (an idea not frequently found in adult films), starts out the next scene buck nekkid with Brick Majors. After a little playful kissing, Brick makes his way down under to warm up the barbie for his shrimp. Keri reciprocates nicely by giving Brick some nice oral attention before hoping on for a cowgirl ride. Brick pays attention to her and her body nicely, and plays with her nipples a little when she appears to be having an orgasm before rolling her over into the missionary position. Lauren finally finishes him off with a smile as she sucks and jerks him onto her chest. It’s a fun ending to the scene, since as Lauren’s chest fills up with spunk, her smile grows. It’s a very good scene with very nice chemistry, but the ending really puts a cherry on top of it.

Nina Hartley takes her scene next, smiling away and talking as Evan works her snatch over orally. Nina returns the favor by giving Evan a very nice rim job before working her way up to suck his balls and later, his cock. Nina starts off riding Evan cowgirl style, and then lays back for him to finish himself off before he decorates her stomach. It’s a nice romantic scene, and even includes a shot of the morning after. It’s a very nice last scene that, as usual, shows some great chemistry.

Naked Hollywood 2: Lust or Love nicely follows up Naked Hollywood 1: Faking It. The plot lines that were started in the first part are continued nicely here, but aren’t so dependent on them that new people will feel left out. The characters are nicely realistic, and don’t feel as two dimensional as in most adult films. The sex is much the same way. There’s great chemistry as well as heat in the scenes, but most importantly, it feels natural. The combination really makes the feature, as well as what I’ve seen of the series, work very well and keeps me coming back for more.

Extras: Bios are included for Keri Windsor, Nina Hartley, Lauren Montgomery, Dee, Billy Glide, and Brick Majors. Each bio includes a photo and a little information about the star. Trailers are included for The Secret of Harlot Hill, The Puppeteer, and Invisible. The photo gallery lasts about two and three quarter minutes with about five seconds per nice looking full screen photo. Of course, there’s also web links, since you can’t really have a DVD without web links.

The bonus scene comes from the Roy Karch dud (which seems to be a habit of Karch’s features) Stolen Moments. Candy Cotten, an average looking bleached blonde fuck bunny with a stud in her tongue, her upper lip, and a ring in her navel who’s wearing some realistic pink lingerie, starts out having Dale DaBone crawling up between her legs. Dale tongues Candy’s pink sweetness, taking the time to get her warmed up right before having her suck his cock. She also takes the time to work him over, and slides her tongue stud across his wedding tackle several times, as well as dousing it all with a ton of spit. After Dale’s completely warmed up, Candy hops on for a ride, stroking Dale’s cock with her pussy in both the standard and reverse cowgirl positions. They finish things up with a bit of spooning before Dale gives Candy’s mouth a cream filling that she tries to suck all the way out. Afterwards, Dale makes double certain by giving Candy’s tits a little fucking. It’s a pretty good scene that takes its time to try and do things right. At times it seems like it’s taking a little too much time, and the camera also seems to catch the bed’s footboard in the shots a bit too much, as it often obscures some of the action.

Themes: Straight, rimming (male > female and female > male), spanking, and anal

Raincoat Factor: Medium

Overall: Most of Adam & Eve’s standard releases can be found online for between about $12 and $24 with many stores offering them for under $20. If you liked Naked Hollywood 1: Faking It, or if you’re just looking for something with a bit more realistic and romantic feel, you shouldn’t be disappointed here. The sex and people are nicely realistic, but the audio level does interfere a bit. On the plus side, there are also some nice extras and other details that show Adam & Eve put some nice care into creating this DVD.

Note to Adam & Eve: Please keep bringing Naked Hollywood out regularly. If it’s as consistently good as this, it should become a great couples favorite. Also, please pay a bit more attention to your technical aspects in the future, since the audio did hold this one back.
