Siren Adult Fairy Tale
Under Tanner's Thumb
AllShortStories: #3
Bestselling Erotic Romance
Tanner Clinton plays along with his nephew, Jeremy, when
the little tyke casts a spell on him over the phone.
Believing he turned his uncle into Tom Thumb, Jeremy tells
Tanner he needs to kiss a fairy princess and nuzzle her
neck before he'll be six foot tall again.
While sipping a glass of wine, Camille Barton knows she's
losing it big time when a two-inch naked man suddenly
appears on her porch one evening. The wine is supposed to
tamp down the anger brewing inside her system that her no
good boyfriend caused, not make her hallucinate. The voice
that vibrates from the tiny man is rich and seductive.
Camille wishes that deep irresistible voice accompanied a
normal-sized man instead of one the size of Tom Thumb.
When the man asks her if she can put him up for the night,
Camille figures she's already a case for the psychiatric
journals, so why not?
And when she wakes up in the morning with a six foot hunk
of burning love...

REVIEWS
for Under Tanner's Thumb
[Siren
Adult Fairy Tale]
 5 Roses:
"I loved this whimsical version of
Tom Thumb. It captured my attention and my
sense of humor. I loved the fact that
Tanner humors his nephew or at least he
thinks so. A thoroughly enjoyable read and
one that I highly recommend. Have
something to cool you off nearby cause
this one is hot. Ms. Burnett thanks for an
enjoyable evening curled up with a book." ––Robin
S., My Book Cravings
5 Angels:
"I am amazed at how well this short story
is written. It takes readers into a world
of cowboys, spicy sexual scenes and
characters you will fall in love with.
Throw in an ex-boyfriend, some steamy
sexual escapades and you have a hit on
your hands. I am off to go find more of
Sage Burnett books as this is one that is
in my keeper shelf. I love her cowboy
stories as the characters are well
developed with a plot that makes you enjoy
the book even more." ––Wendi, Fallen
Angel Reviews
4.5 Blue
Ribbons: "How fun! I’ve
never read an adult fairy tale before but
the blurb for Under Tanner's Thumb
really appealed to me so I thought I’d
give it a try and thoroughly enjoyed this
tale. The storyline is whimsical yet has
just enough realism that you can imagine
something like this happening and you’re
able to relate to the characters. Tanner’s
relationship with his nephew endeared him
to me right off the bat. There’s something
so sexy about a man who really cares about
the kids in his life. I loved Camille’s
rage over being stood up and her confusion
over Tanner’s appearance. There’s no doubt
they make a wonderful couple. It just took
a little spell by a five-year-old to bring
them together. Beautifully done Ms.
Burnett! I definitely won’t be overlooking
adult fairy tales in the future." ––Chrissy
Dionne, Romance Junkies
4.5 Flags:
"Sage Burnett put a new sexy spin on an
old fairy tale and made it a love story.
From two inches to six feet with a kiss
and a nuzzle? Better than eye of newt or
dragon scale potions. Definitely worth the
read." ––Melisa, Euro-Reviews

Stars/Orgasmic: "A revision of
the classic tale of Tom Thumb, Under
Tanner’s Thumb delivers the sexy twist
just for the adult reader. It’s short,
sweet and sexy – not to mention cute!
Camille and Tanner are adorable in their
confusion and attraction and sexy hot in
their passionate encounters. They’re both
very likeable in their normalcy, and
endearing when faced with the
extraordinary. There’s nothing heavy about
the story – it is pure fantastical fun!
The sex was both romantic and erotic, and
there’s nothing like two attractive people
coming together to make a happily ever
after. The story was evenly paced,
well-written, and the lightness of the
plot made it a pleasure to read. If it was
a printed book, it’s definitely beach
worthy!" ––Ginny Kon, Just Erotic
Romance Reviews
4 Stars: "Under
Tanner's Thumb is a unique twist on
the Tom Thumb fairy tale. In this version
Tanner is only two inches until he meets
his fairy princess and kisses her. But
after the spell is broken, will Tanner and
Camille be able to live happily ever
after?" ––Racine, Ecataromance
"Under Tanner’s Thumb is a
delightful tale of the magic of love. Sexy
Tanner finds Camille is just his type of
woman. Camille finds Tanner is not like
the losers she has dated before. Sage
Burnett has created a funny and very
sensual romp between the sheets that I
enjoyed. I look forward to reading more in
the future." ––Rosemary, Joyfully

STORY EXCERPT
Camille Barton sat on her back porch, listening to the creak of
the ancient wooden rocking chair as she sipped her wine. The
cool, April night air soothed the anger still brewing inside
of her. Of course, the red wine helped, too. Another one bites
the dust.
Stood up again. How many times did that make for her now?
Todd Wilson would never set foot inside her house again or in
her bed for that matter. She was certain of that after the
message she’d left on his answering machine an hour ago. No
more dangling by her fingertips from a cliff waiting for him
to show up for their dates. One of these years, she might
learn.
Ready to take another sip of wine, she nearly leaped out of her
skin at the sound of a deep, masculine voice.
“Do you think you could help me, lady?”
Her eyes quickly scanned her backyard. The porch light over her
head only illuminated so far into the yard. Springing up from
the rocker, she walked to the edge of the porch and searched
for the source of that deep, husky voice.
“Careful. You damned near stepped on me.”
“What?”
“Look down by your left foot.”
Bullets of fear shot through her at the bizarre request and the
fact she couldn’t see the man. Since she hadn’t even
finished her first glass of wine yet, there was no way she was
falling down drunk. Besides, she didn’t do falling down
drunk. The bulb near the door afforded enough light for her to
see the entire porch clearly. Goose bumps popped out on her
flesh, but that could be because she didn’t have on a
jacket. Her instincts warned her to bolt inside the house and
quick, but when she heard that seductive male voice again...
“Can you please just look down?”
The masculine voice held a richness to it, reminding her of a
decadent two layer dark chocolate cake. Sucking in a deep
breath, she slowly lowered her eyes.
“Ohmigod!” She jumped back, and the wine glass slipped from
her fingers, shattering into a dozen pieces across the porch
boards.
“Jesus, you could have killed me.”
Staring down at the tiny creature standing on her porch, she
couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Camille blinked and
shook her head simultaneously. She’d skipped dinner because
Todd was supposed to have taken her out to dinner. Still,
there was no way that one glass of wine could make her
hallucinate.
She blinked several more times more to make sure her eyes
weren’t playing tricks on her. Sure enough, a tiny naked man
about two inches tall, hands resting on his hips, stood near
her left foot, staring up at her.
“You wouldn’t happen to be a fairy princess would you?” he
said.
“Come again?” Good lord, was she really talking to a two inch
naked man? It had been a long day at work, not to mention the
disappointing and anger filled evening. But still...
“I need to be kissed by a fairy princess,” he paused. “Oh yeah,
and I have to nuzzle her neck, too, so I can grow back to my
regular size...
ADULT EXCERPT
Tanner felt a shapely, warm female rump pressed against his dick.
What a dream. He slipped his hand over a soft hip until his
fingers tangled in crisp, curly pubic hair. A soft lock of
hair tickled his nose, and he lowered his head and nipped at
the nape of her neck. A sleepy, womanly sigh fell from her
lips.
As his fingers trailed lowered, barely grazing her clit, the woman
in his dream let go with a scream so loud and piercing he was
damned near positive both of his eardrums had just been
busted.
With the scream still echoing inside his head, an elbow jabbed him
hard in the ribs. “Shit.”
The woman kicked and clawed at the blankets before she tumbled out
of bed, landing on the floor with a thud. Tanner quickly
scooted to the edge and looked down at her. He’d never had a
woman kick and claw her way out of bed before. “Are you
okay?”
“Okay?” Her eyes widened in fear and shock. “You’re asking
if I’m okay?”
Her voice had only lowered a few decibels. Damn, she was a
screamer. Her hazel eyes glowed with fear as she stared up at
him. Her glossy, mahogany colored hair was tangled around her
face, while her lips which looked like they had a permanent
pout to them were pressed together in a tight line. “Yeah.
Are you okay?” He held out a hand to her, but she shrank
back from him. Frowning, Tanner let his hand drop.
She looked fine to him as his gaze took in her small, but firm
breasts with rosy, hardened nipples. Sitting on her butt, her
hips were slightly spread showing her pubic hair where his
fingers had lingered just a few minutes ago. He’d been hard,
when she’d let go with that wild scream but he was even
harder now.
“You were two inches tall last night.” The tone of her voice
bordered on hysteria.
His frown deepened, wondering what kind of woman he’d gotten
involved with. His brain struggled to get a hold of the
situation, but his head felt all scratchy like it was stuffed
full of straw. “I don’t think so.”
“Don’t you play with me.” She scrambled into a kneeling
position.
What a pose. Obviously unaware of her nakedness, she waved her
hand in front of her, making her breasts jiggle. “Just go
away.”
“Why don’t you come back to bed,” Tanner coaxed, “and
we’ll talk about this?”
