Review: EXRATED by Stevie J. Cole

Tyler Westbrook, better known as Johnny Depth, is taking the adult film industry by storm. With his playboy looks, it’s no surprise a few coworkers have attempted to take things off set and into the bedroom, but Tyler refuses to blur the lines between work and play…until the new assistant to the director walks in.

Jemma Morgan was recently fired from a lead role on a kid’s TV show that was supposed to be her big break. Unable to get another acting gig, she's accepted a job in an industry she never expected to be a part of. Although she anticipates being shocked her first few days on set, nothing could prepare her for the moment she's asked to hold the reflector as her ex-boyfriend plows through a woman like a Kansas cornfield.

In a world of butt-plugs, lube, and fake moans, is there a place for a second chance? Exes and some serious ohs…the term ex-rated just took on a whole new meaning.

Exrated is a story of two lives that were once tightly intertwined and now fate has unsuspectingly brought them back together. 

Tyler,
I love you. I've loved you since we were six. I'll love you until I'm ninety-six.
Jemma

Tyler Westbrook, aka Johnny Depth, failed out of NYU, moved to California and eventually became a porn star. 

"I'm a 24-year old single male. Hormones. Alpha. Sowing my seed guy. No pitfalls. Sex and money. Fucking sign me up. That's what I said, but now-well, now I see a hellavu lot more pitfalls to it."

Jemma Morgan is unemployed actress after a private sex video was released, a sex video with a famous rock star. She's on her last dollar when she offered a PA position for a porn director. What she hadn't expected was to find her last one-night stand/ex-boy friend/ex-lover/ex-best friend in front of the camera. 

Exrated revolves around Jemma not accepting Tyler's job choice. She can't be in love with him because he's a porn star. She is still hurting from when he previously left her and went off to college. I struggled liking Jemma because she's a hypocrite. Even though she didn't make a porn flick for money, she did make a private porn video that released for the world to watch. Jemma fights her true feelings for Tyler. Tyler doesn't quit pursuing Jemma, he fights to the very end. 3.5 Stars
