About the author

For authors looking to inquire about reviews, my review policy can be found here: http://alifeamongthepages.wordpress.c...

Robert has been writing poetry since the eleventh grade. His writing started as impulsive rambling, but soon became a passion. A few years later, he attended SUNY Potsdam where he received a B.A. in Creative Writing.

His main focus is poetry, but he's also known for dabbling in short fiction, and at times erotica. Robert has also created the blog A Life Among The Pages, where he posts about his writing, love of books, and reviews books.

When he's not reading or writing, Robert enjoys spending time with his dog, Deuc. Deuc ran out of the woods in August 2011 and they have been inseparable ever since.

This is my first erotic story. I hope you enjoy it. I think I'll have more in the near future for you all to read.

*ARC received in exchange for an honest review*

Wow. Who would have thought that such a short story could portray such powerful imagery! Not only was it steamy, it was incredibly sweet as well. Mr. Zimmerman was successful in capturing the emotions of lovemaking between a husband and wife, vs the idea of simply having sex. I could sense the love between the two; and as a married woman, it elicited memories of my own of lazy weekend mornings with my husband. I appreciated the feeling of sensuality between two people that were familiar with each other, dispelling the notion that only "new" sex can be exciting and erotic as well. My only knock is the brevity. This would be a great jumping off point for something bigger!

For being a first attempt to write erotica, I think it was a good one. It's flash fiction, so it is very short, but it gets straight to the point. A short piece about a couple enjoying their very own "breakfast in bed", as they start their morning in a very exciting way.

Super-short, but definitely one hot little scene! Loved it!

[Maryann Gestwicki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short & Sweet and to the point of every woman wants from a man knowing to perfect the art of cunnilingus. Now, you should continue Breakfast In Bed 2 where the women go down on her man.

This story really is the definition of "Short Story" at about 600 words in total. If you think the story ends all to soon, you would be right!

Although it is in fact short, it's not lacking in structure, allure, and seduction! As short and sweet as this story is, it is equally hot and heavy, and cleverly written, with a little spark of something at the end!

Robert does an wonderful job with this little flash fiction, engulfing the reading in the morning rituals of this extremely sexual couple, while managing to shine a little light on the connection between the two. Which I must say, is a bit of a feet to do in about 600 words!

Also a nice little tidbit I think some of you might want to know. Robert tells me that is him on the cover there. Yup, he is the abs you see displayed before you. So go buy it and enjoy!

I really enjoyed this erotica flash fiction by Robert Zimmermann. Men seem less prevalent in the genre and I'm glad he took the chance. Breakfast in Bed is a romantic story, with just the right amount of passion. It is told as a moment between a husband and wife. And the s*x reads beautifully with love and history behind it. I think it is a great accomplishment for an author to establish characters in such a short amount of time. Beyond that, it is unique from most erotica. It is not a chance encounter between the characters, but an everyday occurrence that is special through the years. I look forward to reading more fiction from this author and highly recommend the story.

Normally I don’t read from this genre but as the Author was Mr Zimmermann, whose Book Reviews and Poetry I enjoy reading, I thought I’d give it ago.

I was pleasantly surprised. We are given an intimate encounter between a husband and wife who still very much enjoy each other. Zimmermann gives us a sneak peak into the lives of Nick and Julie and we get to share in their morning ritual.

I read the story to my husband (that maybe too much information) and he enjoyed the story also.

So all in all you’ll find Breakfast in Bed to be a sweet little ‘love’ story for both sexes to enjoy – maybe even together :-P

I've never been a huge fan of erotica, BUT, when Robert mentioned his short story I figured I'd give it a try. Um, I wasn't disappointed. My problem with erotica is it's usually just so over the top. I could totally see this happening. It was tasteful, it wasn't something that made me want to giggle, and well, it made me blush a little.

[Marcia Carrington · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an intimate, well-paced short story of a married couple, and exemplifies their definition of the concept of 'Breakfast in Bed'. The only drawback is that while the story makes its points pertinently, it would have been interesting to have had more back story about the couple, and what makes them tick, but what is presented is sufficient for its purposes.

[Kimberly Cheeseman · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only reason I gave this a "4" is because it is TOO SHORT!!! I know it is suppose to be short, but I was really into the story and then it was over...I WANT MORE, Rob!!!

I hope to be able to enjoy more of Rob's writing in the future...This short story was a written well and precise for the purpose of the book -

I really liked it!!!

[Jen Cothran · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have enjoyed Robert's poetry and was enticed by the prospect of an erotica piece. I must admit I was left wanting. The short piece is so delightfully written and super steamy, you can't help but want more, more, more...

I can't wait to read more of Robert's works! Absolutely loved this short story!!

[Jessica Fortunato · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute story. 3 stars due to proper formatting and editing was well done. Not really my style, much more tame than I expected from this author. It also seemed to stop abruptly, but with it being a flash fiction piece, perhaps he intends to add more to complete the story. I think with a little more passion and a longer story, this would really be an exciting read.

[Ebony]

This erotic flash fiction story is really really good. It is simple, to the point, and leaves you hungry for more!!! I highly recommend this short story to anyone looking for a great snap shot of someone's day. It is HOT and romantic. It is well written and very sensual. I am very interested in reading more by this author!!

[Kristy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great taste of what's to come for this author (yeah pun intended)! For flash fiction this was great. It's not often that I get to read erotica from a man's POV and certainly not from a male author and it was well done.

Nick likes breakfast in bed. Julie enjoys being breakfast in bed.

Well-written, sweet yet steamy this short will make you smile wickedly and say, 'Please, Sir, may I have another?'

Breakfast in Bed is a fast but fun read that has the perfect blend of sexy and sweet. I particularly liked the narrator’s voice. Despite the fact that it’s labeled as erotica, there is a backstory to the lustful elements that made me smile.

[Shelley Chastagner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not really a book but a short scene with only 8 pages total. This peek into a couples morning made me smile mainly because they were married. Nick's inner thoughts and monologue show a man who finds his wife attractive and desirable.

This was a great short story. It offers an erotic glimpse of the love between a husband and wife. Robert is a talented author and it came as no surprise that this was another one of his works that I really enjoyed!

5 pages of Sex!

This was a very intertwining sex scene I must say! I do enjoy the idea of "breakfast in bed" although I wasn't expecting it to be such detailed. You're a fantastic writer.

[The Celtic Rebel (Richard) · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very sexy and hot read. I have read some of Robert Zimmerman's poetry and now this wonderful flash story. I loved the imagery and this brief introduction to this couple. I would definitely love to find out more about them.

[Lori · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a nice short, romantic but very sexy read. I think this short could turn into really nice long story...just saying

[Shannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice little short read. Gets right to the point. For his first attempt at erotica I thought it was very good. I only wish it was longer.

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great way to wake. I've read Robs poetry, he's real about what he writes. His erotic short is no different, tasteful writing about a husband and wife loving their mornings together. Sweet!
