Love, Lust & Longing – Wicked Pictures – Director – Scott Allen – Cast – jessica drake, Allie Haze, Asa Akira, Marica Hase, Tyler Nixon, Chad White, Kurt Lockwood, Nick Manning, Jake Taylor.

This is a very nicely put together story with some good writing, solid acting and explosive sex scenes and very couples friendly. The story takes place in a very rich looking bed and breakfast and the characters that make up the storyline. It is done in a way that you can follow each of the characters, the humor and not get lost along the way. The end result is a very entertaining, enjoyable, sexy film from Allen.

It opens with James (Kurt Lockwood) moving into a bed and breakfast for what he says is a day by day thing. The guy at the desk knows better and it is a fun exchange with these two as the guy can tell his new boarder has broken up with his wife. He offers up some humorous advice. On his way up the stairs James bumps into Rachel (jessica drake) a resident who, unbeknown to James, is a prostitute who works out of her bedroom at the house. We see James get into his room and try and get settled. Then we are suddenly whisked over to a food truck run by Asa Akira and Nick Manning and the first sex scene. Done in the cramped confines of the food truck it is both well done and explosive and shot in some interesting angles.

Next we get to meet a soldier (Jake Taylor) checking in and again our desk clerk has some humorous repartee with him. The soldier opens the door to the wrong room and has his first confrontation with Lily (Allie Haze). Because of a traumatic experience Lily no longer speaks and writes her words down. Their first meeting does not go well over the wrong room incident. However that will change in time. Then we see James walking out in the garden and he comes across Rachel and they begin talking about flowers and other things. He still, at this point, has no idea what she does, but he will.

Then we get a scene with newlyweds Chad White and Marica Hase who are staying at the bed and breakfast and we get to see them enjoy their honeymoon night in a steamy romp. From there it is next day and our soldier is working out in the garden and Lily spots him and can’t stop watching this good looking young man. Does this soldier make any changes in this silent young lady. What happens with Rachel and James and the rest that make up the core group of people that make up this bed and breakfast. Oh, and let’s not forget the all important food truck. We’ll leave all that for you to find out, but there are a couple of twists and turns in this story revolving around the characters that makes it even more interesting and enjoyable to view.

A good cast, good acting in particular by Ms. drake and Lockwood who really pull this together, lush, rich settings, and a well crafted story. Add in some excellent cinematography with some clever, eye catching angles that are clean and sharp offering up some exquisite visuals.“Love, Lust & Longing”  from Wicked Pictures comes out to be a very enjoyable couples friendly film I highly recommend getting hold of.
