Yes, some poor clues here.


8a Allow King to enter reserve ???O?


BROOK (allow) = BOOK (reserve) around R (King)


4d City bowled over with zest ???O


BRIO (zest = B(owled) + RIO


19D Cry about red-top advertising copy (5)


BLURB = BLUB around R

Thicky,
Brio means "vivacity" or zest

2nd one. reserve = book. r = king (a common abbreviation in crosswords king = rex =r).
