What does a very famous little girl need when someone is threatening her? A very handsome and strong bodyguard turned daddy of course. I loved Gabby and Kole’s story. He gave her a safe space to be herself and made sure she knew she was loved and protected. This is such a sweet story and even though Gabby has a stalker and her stuffie is missing the over book isnt extremely angsty. Her first time at SANCTUM meeting everyone and learning that there are genuine people out there was a highlight for me. Cant wait for the next one

Gabriella is an actress and a good one at that! She is independent, beautiful and doesn't need anyone - except that maybe she does. It seems she may have a problem with a stalker, who is getting a little close for comfort. So her agent calls and hires a body guard, Kole! The chemistry between the two is immediate! It's sweet, hot, and protective because Kole's Daddy, recognizes something that "Gabby" keeps hidden deep inside her. Their story is amazing and when there is a break in shooting the movie that she's working on, Kole takes Gabby home to Sanctum and we get a quick peek in our on favorite DD/lg neighborhood! I highly recommend this book, it was great to come home again, it's been a while and coming home is always appreciated :)

I am IN LOVE with this book. Gabby is an actress, one who is being stalked. She also has a secret, hiding her Little side from everyone. Her new bodyguard is super protective and makes her feel safer than ever. But Kole is a Daddy who recognizes his Little and isn't going to let her get away. I totally feel empathic with Gabby, someone who needs to be completely adult in her work life but longs for that DD/lg relationship and that special someone to take care of her. The mystery wasn't the most exciting, but I didn't care because the growing relationship between these two made the book explode with sexy heat. GREAT HEA. The scenes at Sanctum gave us a glimpse at some favorite old characters. And the end of the book gave some possible spin off vibes.

A delightful return to Sanctum
Guarding Gabby by Pepper North is a return to Sanctum, a wonderful place for littles and their caregivers. I had some expectations going into this book because I have read the entire series, and Ms. North exceeded every one of them. Gabriela wasn’t your traditional little. She was a Hollywood movie star in a big production. This meant she had to slip in and out of her little persona because she couldn’t let the public know. I thought this added an extra element to the story because so many IRL have to keep that side of them secret. Kole was everything I would want in a Daddy - loving, caring, and protective. Being able to revisit Sanctum and its inhabitants was a beautiful bonus.

This is the latest addition to the Sanctum Series by Pepper North. This series is one of my favorites of hers and I was excited to get this. It did not disappoint. Gabby is an actress in need of some protection. In comes Kole, who not only sees her as a beautiful woman but sees her Little side from the very beginning. The relationship between the two is so sweet to watch developing. I love how protective Kole is and how he was all in from the first moment. Add in the suspense of a stalker and some more action and you have a great book!

I loved this book, and I thought Kole and Gabby were amazing!! The concept behind this story really appealed to me and I found it fresh and enticing. Steamy and sweet, emotional and action-packed, I thought this book was the complete package and to me it was irresistible.

Loved this story! Gabrielle is a sweet Little movie star who needs a protector. Little does she know only a Daddy will do. Fabulous story about finding what we need even when it is not we think we can get.

I loved this story! Steamy and show stopping. Gabby is so sweet and endearing, and Kole is the perfect amount of loving and protective.

Another adorable read in the great series. Gabby is an actress with a stalker problem , step in Kole and Guards Inc. He knows immediately that she is his little girl. Pepper writes a wonderful story for this little and her Daddy. It’s a sweet read with a little danger and drama thrown in to keep you reading till the end.

Love this latest addition to the Sanctum series. Gabby also known as Garbriella is a famous actress who also happens to be a Little, when she’s threatened her agent hires a bodyguard from an elite company. Unfortunately the only person left was the owner who also happens to be a Daddy.

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
Gabriela is an actress, her most recent role is one where she plays a little to her costar Daddy. Everything is going well until she is almost accosted in the street one evening by a man. Thankfully a good samaritan scares the man away. Her agent calls in a bodyguard for her. Kole comes to her home where they soon discover the stalker has been to her house and has put tracking devices on her car. Kole tells her he will be staying with her from now on, especially at the studio during filming. He also talks about her being a real life little. She gets all defensive and tells him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He does know because he is a Daddy and can tell she’s a little who needs a Daddy.
They fly to the studio and he meets with her team there. While they are meeting the stalker sneaks into her trailer and steals her stuffie PupPup from her luggage. She’s so very distraught over it and Kole goes into full Daddy mode, they soon fall into Daddy/little mode and she embraces it. It’s cute he makes her a stuffie with a pillowcase to help her sleep. Their sexy times were sweet and spicy. More strange things happen on the set, then when most of the camera crew get food poisoning the director has them leave her her safety.
Kole has a home at SANCTUM. He takes her there. She gets to meet all the other littles and enjoys her time with them. She learns more about the whole Dd/lg dynamic and likes many parts of it.
They go back to the movie set when PupPup has been found, they go to wardrobe since the stuffie had to be sewn back together again. The stalker strikes and incapacitates Kole and goes after Gabriela. She finds out he’s someone who worked in the studio office and had access to all her info. He was mentally unstable, he had lost his little girl and seeing Gabriela’s role as a little triggered him. Kole comes in to save her but it’s Gabriela that comes in with an assist that ensures Kole gets the stalker.
The movie is a huge hit and Gabriela wins an award for her role. The littles at SANCTUM love the movie too. Epilogue with them married and visiting Kole’s office and her meeting all his employees.
With everything going on with the stalker and the movie there is less Dg/lg time in the book.

Gabriela and Kole - quick pairing from the get-go. Kind of makes you wish finding a Daddy was that easy - although Gabriela was keeping her Little under wraps. And who could blame her. You never know who will be excepting of your needs and feelings. Sometimes you don't even know for yourself if what you feel or how you want to feel is acceptable. In walks danger and hulk at the same time - you run from the danger but stumble at the hulk - Kole Jeffers. It's a sweet whirlwind. I don't believe she is clueless to what is happening that someone is stalking her - but in her Little brain she wasn't nothing to do with it. Can the big guy be serious, can he keep her safe? Welcome to SANCTUM - the Daddies of Sanctum of all hunky and over-protecting. I want one! This is a quick read, sweet and scary at the same time. Their joining was subtle, not wham-bam; leads you to believe they'll be showing up in other's stories. Got get it you'll love it.

Gabriela Morales is an actress that is taking the world by storm. Problem is that her new movie has an unwanted stalker. He is scaring Gabby. Her agent requests a bodyguard and someone that can find the person responsible. Kole Jeffers is the head of Guards Inc. He has been assigned to find the stalked and protect Gabby. He also notices that Gabriela is the Little he has been looking for all his life. Gabby certainly doesn’t want people to know she is a Little. When one of her prized possessions is taken amongst other things, Kole isn’t about to let his Little feel unsafe. I do love that it starts off subtle with these two. Kole doesn’t push Gabby. She has to get used to the fact that there truly are Daddies and Littles in the world. And what fun was it that all the Littles at Sanctum welcomed her with open arms. Wasn’t happy that someone stole a stuffie. Big meanie. Honestly, it was a bit sad though. Gabby’s movie brought a new light for a lot of people.

Actress Gabriela Morales is getting her big break playing a Little girl in a movie production. Before the film is released she receives a frightening threat and so gains a new bodyguard. Kole Jeffers owns the company Guards Inc. and is also a Daddy looking fo rhis own little girl and so when he fills in and becomes Gabriela's bodyguard it becomes the most important job of his career as Gabby is the special woman this Daddy has been searching for years to find, and he'll risk everything to keep her safe.
I enjoyed this story as Kole found his Little and Gabby found peace and a place where she can finally be herself. The threats against her were very real and it was great to have Kole there to help and support her as they worked it out. Gabby was a secret Little and it was also wondersful to read her reaction when they went to Sanctum and she met the other Littles. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MF book with a BSDM-like DDLG dynamic.

I haven't read most of this series, but that didn't stop me from loving this one. One of the things I love the most about Ms. North's writing is the way her Daddies are protective without being over the top and the sassy independence her Littles all have. There is always a touch at love at first sight, and the way the Daddies know they've met their Littles immediately, even if the Littles aren't ready to admit it. That's what we have here. Gabby has been hiding her Little from the world for forever, but Kole gives her that safe space she needs to be herself. He's patient and loving, and over the top protecitive, and under his care Gabby is able to flourish. The story isn't all fluff since Gabby is being stalked and that gives things a sense of danger and excitement, but it's still sweet and steamy, and I loved it.

I found this book to be a captivating quick read capturing the magnetism of true love that was wrapped into a adult-play romance. I appreciate her use of a knight in shining armor rescuing a damsel in distress. I enjoyed Ms. North’s writing style. Her mastery of literary devices such as, characterization, dialog, dual POV, and descriptive language garnered my attention from the start lending itself for the perfect Fall evening read. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Nicely done, Ms. North.

In walks Kole, a mountain of a man. Gabby doesn’t think she needs him, yet he makes her secret side feel safe - the side of her she keeps hidden from the public eye.

This was an absolutely fantastic story about Gabriela Morales who is an actress playing a Little in the latest movie set to be released in the near future when her safety is threatened, her agent brings in Kole Jeffers, the owner of Guards, Inc. to protect Gabby from the danger that is threatening. I love these two characters and how they interact with each other. Gabby is a little but does not want anybody to know and Kole is a daddy who recognises Gabby as his little girl. Together, they work on making life safer for Gabby and go on to live a happily ever after.
I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

Fiction comes to life
Gabriela was living her best life, not only was she an successful actor but she was playing a character of a lifetime, playing a little from a well loved book; she was living out her best fantasy without outing her secret to her fans. All was great until she had several break ins at her house & threats on the set, personal items started to disappear they even stole her stuffy Puppup. Gabriel’s agent hired Kole Jeffers, the owner of Guards, Inc. Kole usually never personally takes on celebrity cases, but something pulled him to protect Gabby. This becomes more than a job; kole is protecting his little

The danger is real....
You can just feel the menace surrounding Gabriela, tightening it's noose. What an incredible and effective way to set up this story.
I felt the perpetrator to be dealt with fairly and compassionately within the context of the crime.
I love the way Kole is able to protect Gabby and still bring out the Little in her. Meeting your soulmate on the job may be cliché, but it works! SANCTUM is a very special place, and Gabby will be able to live her best life there.
Looking forward to see who the next residents will be, I know who I am rooting for.

I am so happy Pepper finally wrote another SANCTUM book. I love this series. They all end up at SANCTUM but how they get there is so different and interesting. Gabriela is an actress playing a Little in a movie. She had noticed a few things missing in her trailer but when a man followed her to her car she really got scared. Her agent called Guards, Inc. to send a man to guard Gabriela. Kole was the owner and he took the job. When he first saw Gabby he knew she was his Little. You will now have to read the wonderful book to see what happens and if they get together. Enjoy

SANCTUM got another Little in book 11. Pepper North never fails to bring you into her books. In this book, Gabriela is a famous actress who is being stalked and threatened. Kole Jeffers is hired by her manager to be her body guard. Kole knows immediately she is his Little. In order for the couple to move forward and for Gabby to be safe, he will not only have to protect her but also find her stalker. The characters are endearing.and capture your heart. This last book in the series is a don’t miss.

I love the Sanctum series and Pepper North is brilliant in writing stories that stay in the series but aren't the same thing over and over. Gabriela is an actress who has picked up a stalker so Kole gets hired to be her bodyguard. It's perfect because she's a Little and he's a Daddy. Kole is sure he's found the girl he wants for his own but first they have to figure out just who the stalker is! Can he keep his new found Little safe?
October 21, 2023
I was so happy that Pepper decided to write another SANCTUM story. Kole is a security specialist who works to keep Gabby safe from a stalker. Gabby is an actor playing the part of a Little in a new movie. Kole starts working with Gabby and the two quickly realize that they are perfect for one another. I loved the story and I hope there will be new SANCTUM stories coming our way.
I received an advanced copy and this is my honest review.

While I enjoyed most parts of this book, I didn’t care for the way Kole forced things on her, from no caffeine, no makeup, pull ups, butt play etc. while she may enjoy age play, she is still an adult and should be treated like one. Didn’t seem like they spoke about safe words, anything. I would have told Kole to take it all and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. So not a Daddy in my opinion.

Gabriela Morales is starring in an age play movie and she has the role of a Little girl. When weird things start happening on set and items go missing her agent decides she needs a bodyguard. Kole Jeffers is a Daddy and the owner of Guards, Inc. and is going to be guarding Gabriela. The sparks start flying as soon as they meet. I love the budding Daddy/Little girl relationship between Gabriela (Gabby) and Kole. This is a great book.
October 15, 2023
I love the Sactum series. They are a wonderful blend of DDlg, romance and suspense. Guarding Gabby is the perfect addition to one of my favorite series. Gabriela is an actress who seems to have a stalker and Kole is the Bodyguard who comes to protect her. These are wonderful characters who mesh perfectly. We also get to see some old friends at Sanctum...always a good thing. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I love this world Pepper has built. It's so well written that I ended up reading much later than I should have.
October 18, 2023
Loved this story. It was so exciting to get a new Sanctum story. Kole is the perfect daddy-dom for Gabby. She has kept her Little locked down for so long that it is hard to bring her to the surface without fear. Kole understands and works with her, pushing when needed but otherwise going at her pace. I love how all the Littles at Sanctum welcome her into their group.
