Love Is in the Air (2014) Online

Jacky St. James's calendar 2015 porn features have been quite disappointing, with their repetitive themes and preachy narration, but this romance from the just-previous batch was fine. It is free of the proselytizing, and simply presents well-acted vignettes of romantic trials and tribulations, unpretentiously and on a small, personal scale.

Jacky amusingly has an extended cameo in Vignette #1, as bearded and mustachioed Xander Corvus narrates his aversion to boring chit-chat at parties. The chit-chatter is Jacky St. James, prattling on about nothing as Xander escapes her clutches. Even though the party's held at his boss's house (boss not shown, but oddly enough Jacky is essentially his real- life boss for the day when you think about it), his g.f. Maddy O'Reilly coaxes him into humping her in the upstairs bathroom.

Claustrophobic sex is very well-executed by the popular duo, featuring of necessity stand-up sex leading to a money shot on her chest. In voice-over he notes how he digs her acting the "bad girl", and back at the party Jacky bends his ear again with nonsense.

Jenna J. Ross acts bratty in Segment 2, refusing to talk to beau Seth Gamble when they have a periodic fight (over nothing). A pillow fight breaks the ice this time and leads to hot sex, with the moral of this short story merely being the efficacy of introducing pillow fights into one's routine, a far cry from the pompous sociological statements to be heard in most Jacky SJ videos. Jenna's effortless deep-throat technique is on display briefly and she does get to throw in a couple of tasty ad libs: "Nothing says I'm sorry like a blow job" (better than those corny old Erich Segal scripts) and "You had a lot stored up" after Seth's cum shot.

Jodi Taylor is delightful opposite Logan Pierce in an interesting piece wherein she is worried about his odd behavior, cutting her short in conversations and pacing around outside all the time. When she confronts him, thinking he's about to dump her, she discovers he's actually sweating out a proposal of marriage, which he duly delivers with a tasty engagement ring. He briefly acts out a ceremony, calling her officially "Jodi Marie Taylor" which I found a very nice touch given the porn penchant for stage names = character names. The sex is hot, and I'm still wondering (as always) about the huge birth mark (or whatever) shaped like a maple leaf on Jodi's thigh.

Finale stars Chanel Preston, who along with 1-year-of-marriage spouse Ryan Driller forgets their wedding anniversary. That's evidence that each of them has become too much wrapped up in their work for ongoing romance, so the ingenious solution is to formally schedule date (sex) time for them on their calendars. Jacky has fun with this odd but actually interesting premise, and who knows, it could actually prove useful in our so hectic contemporary society. In any event, romantic it ain't.

Only fault here, which I find with so many hi-def TV projects (not just porn but lots of mainstream broadcast) is that the digital cameras are unforgiving and lose all the warmth of the visuals - in most of this feature the color is drained so that you have pink skin against a grey or brownish monochrome background, no rich, natural colors at all.
