License To Thrill
You might end up thanking yourself for forgetting your license had expired. What starts as a routine roadside check quickly turns into a steamy, in-depth “interrogation” with the irresistibly sexy officer, Audrey Reid. And yes, you’ll need a new photo for that fresh license — but don’t be fooled by the strict attitude of the photographer, April Rae. She’s got a thing for you… but she’ll make you earn it. As for your driving instructor and examiner, Alexis Crystal and Sata Jones — let’s just say, the tension between the three of you needs to be handled before the test is over.
