Colleen Brennan sparkles in Kirdy Stevens/Helene Terrie classic

Colleen Brennan, one of the stars of hardcore sex movies who could really act, is a delight as Maggie a romantic novelist with two daughters. One of them Pepper, a nurse (the sensuous Karen Summer) is saving herself for "Mr Right". On the other hand Maggie who has divorced her dull but loving husband thinks romance is mainly for fiction and is enthralled by the likes of her uncouth, sexually aggressive lover Travis (Greg Ruffner), who is always making a play for Pepper who dislikes him. Pepper falls in love with a young doctor only for him to be seduced by Maggie, responding to the "animal in me" A more cynical Pepper turns to Travis...

Colleen Brennan's performance and Helene Terrie's screenplay with some great dialogue, especially between Maggie and Pepper which add to the subversive appeal and some really hot sex scenes raise this movie way above average for the genre.

A lusty romance-novel writer loves kinky sex games, and competes with her daughter for the younger girl's succession of young stud boyfriends--especially a new doctor.
