Reviews

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 3 out of 5]

The vibe was completely off for the first forty pages of Replenishing Jennifer, like a movie where the sound doesn't match the picture. Then John Colleton lets the main character finally start talking back to her overbearing boss, and the book wakes right up. The scene in the break room, where she quietly unplugs the office coffee maker as a protest, is petty perfection. The early chapters are shaky, with some clunky setup. For readers who like workplace comedy with an edge. Pass if a rough opening makes you quit.

Look, the pacing in Replenishing Jennifer is all over the place, and I still loved it. Colleton, John lingers where you'd rush and rushes where you'd linger, and somehow that makes everything feel unpredictable. It's a little maddening, in a good way. Great for readers who like to be surprised, rough for anyone who likes a steady rhythm.

Two years after the events of The Pleasures of Cloris, Bill finds himself in London researching a novel when who should he run into one night, Lady Cloris of course! No longer with Cloris' daughter, they rekindle their affair post haste. Promptly they pick up and seduce a young Londoner, Jennifer, daughter of Lord Digby, who they convince to star in one of Cloris' erotic films, now being shot at her home estate, Ramspaugh. Word of the film shoots get out once a reporter infiltrates the set and Jennifer's true identity is revealed. Cloris and Bill hightail it to Spain where, as in the last book, they spend time driving thru the countryside, drinking, eating, and fornicating. Cloris' production manager shows up as well as Caterina and they decide to film a pivotal scene for the film, an erotic adaptation of Tom Brown's School Days, in a former church. Some clergy show up and everyone flees, scandal ensues. Bill, at first back to Amalfi with Jennifer, and then back to Ramspaugh to finish the film. Bill all along mind-cataloging the events to use in his novels.

Very similar to The Pleasures of Cloris in scenario and smut level with a short travelogue of Spain and once again a little dab of cp thrown in for some good measure. I've noticed more celeb name dropping in this one as well as celeb disguising, especially the character of Sir Laurence Pembroke, a Colleton stand in for Laurence Olivier, who hangs around Cloris' porn shoots and ogles the women. Highly recommended! First published by Signet in February 1975. 176 pages.
