I’m ready to move to Sanctum. While I love all of the series by this author, Sanctum is at the top of my must-read list. If Amazon offered an automatic, sight unseen purchase button for a series, I’d push it for this one. Sanctum Daddies are protective, loving, strong, and yes hot. Sanctum Littles are strong in their own right yet need a Daddy to protect their Little side that only Sanctum can provide. The storylines have that touch of intrigue and danger that keep you enthralled, but the overshadowing romance will make your heart melt. I reread the entire series every time a new book is released and have loved every minute. This author’s books are a virtual hug guaranteed to make you swoon.

Bart saves his little
Bart is a veterinarian. He was putting his mare, Gumdrop, back into her horse hauler when he found Rita hiding inside. Her boss was trying to kill her for seeing him doing a line of cocaine. He was meeting with his supplier, and he wanted him to kill her.
Bart told her to sneak out of the hauler and get in the cab of his truck. She is short and tried climbing in, but she ended up slamming her head into a pipe he had in the truck. She hit so hard that she was about to pass out and felt nauseous.
Bart felt so bad that she got hurt. He took her to the ER. After taking the test, she had a concussion and amnesia. He was able to take her home. She couldn't remember where she lived or her last name.
She was the kind of little he had been looking for. A woman with curves. She was looking for a Daddy but knew that this handsome man wouldn't be interested in a cubby little. All her life, she has had a weight problem and people making fun of her.
He looked after her and told her how he had been looking for a little for a long time. He thought she could be it. He wanted to be her Daddy.
He promised to love her and keep her safe.
As her memory is coming back, she realizes that she is in danger.
They go to town to the police station to tell what she remembers. On the way home, Bart noticed that they were being followed. He had her call the police for help. The criminals start shooting at his truck. Bart tells her to call one of his friends for help.
Have to read this one to find out what happened.
Another great story by Pepper North. She never disappoints.

Littles Fun
This is such a good book, the story was wonderful. Rita is held against her will by her boss after witnessing him with a baggie full of drugs, he brings her to his supplier and while at the new bar she observed a room full of littles and Daddies. When her boss goes to make the transaction she runs out the back and hides. Seeing a horse trailer she sneaks into the back. Bart is asked if he's seen a young woman by a scary looking fella. He hadn't and replied, as gumdrop is loaded she is uncomfortable because she senses Rita. Pleading for her life and safety Bart tell her to sneak into the front of the truck and hide in the floor board. As she's attempting to get into the truck Rita hits her head very hard on a pole in the truck. Needing medical attention Bart takes her to the er. Rita has amnesia and only remembers her name. Bart knows she's his one and vows to care for her, Rita tells him she's always wanted a daddy. The rest is written in the stars. All of the Sanctum books are wonderful all the Daddies are caring, loving and totally respectful towards their Littles. Each book is original and each character is lovingly matched. I've read all the Dr. Richard books, and all of each of the other series. The lifestyle is handled so marvelously in each and all story. Pepper North is a valuable author and asset to the readers and involved communities. Can't wait for the next story.

When her memory returns, will Rita want to stay as Bart’s Little?
Rescuing Rita is the sixth book in the SANCTUM series, but reads well as a stand alone. Rita is on the run from danger when she hides in a horse trailer. Bart finds her and wants to help her, but when she knocks her head while running to safety, she gets a severe concussion and can only remember her name. Bart wants to keep her safe and be everything that she needs, but when her memory returns, will she want to return to her life?
Every time that I open up an age play book from Ms. North, I can’t help but fall in love with the characters as I snuggle up in the comforts and guidance that the Daddy (or Mommy) provides! Rita and Bart are no exception and I adored their romance. Rita is so sweet with her insecurities and finding that one person that wants her for her, and I loved her trust! Bart was such a good man, I loved that he was willing to fight for and protect Rita when needed, and give her the love and guidance she craved. I enjoyed the danger aspect of the storyline, as well as the budding relationship! This book really had it all, and it was the perfect read for these colder evenings!

Rita Alma works in a bar and after the sale of the bar, she discovers the new owner with drugs in his office. He then forces her outside with him at gunpoint after threatening her co-workers. When she is finally left alone for a while she escapes to try and protect everyone. Handsome veterinarian Bartholomew Jennings did not expect to find a beautiful stowaway in his horse trailer, then when she hits her head getting into his truck he will do everything he can to help her - especially when he realises she is a Little.
I enjoyed this story with the danger that Rita was in, her escape, the concussion, the budding relationship between her Little and Daddy Bart and the eventual conclusion to her frightening encounter with the frightening world of drugs. I loved the way that they both started to rely on each other and that she found exactly what she wanted. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature content of a BDSM nature via the Daddy/Little relationship

I loved listening while I read this story. It really put more of the characters feelings into prospective. I must say the narrator did a phenomenal job telling Bart and Rita’s story. I felt that like both Rita and Bart found what they were looking for in each other the minute they made eye contact. I love that for their journey was just beginning even under such rear circumstances. They were meant for each other. I must say that I love how Rita did try to get over on Bart, it was amazing. At the same time too I believe art rise to the occasion and handle his little girl perfectly. Above all this is a short story but it definitely will keep you guessing. Their is never a dull moment and what I absolutely love about this book is the way how the community protect and welcomes each other.

I just love these SANCTUM stories by Pepper North they are always so good! When Rita finds herself in a very dangerous situation because she witnessed something she shouldn't have, she runs looking for safety, right into Bart, a local Vet who just happened to be in the right place when she needs him. When in his care she accidentally suffers a head injury and has problems remembering who she is, he takes her in and as they discovery who she is, they are also discovering their very special relationship. This is a wonderfully written fast reading story where you get a chance to visit old friends, and can't wait to finish so you will know how the story ends.

Rita Finds Her Home at SANCTUm
How could a person not love a story that has a sweet and thoughtful Little, a "cowboy" veterinarian and a horse named Gumdrop?!?!
A case of wrong place at the wrong time ends up with Rita hiding in a horse trailer and then a case of amnesia!! Luckily for her fate put her in the right place as Bart has been on the hunt for his Little.
I always love how the Littles get to let go and be their true selves, and the Daddies are attentive and caring. 💙💜
There were a few noticeable missing words and grammar issues throughout the book which were a bit distracting, but that's just a weird me thing to notice. 😉

Rescuing Rita is the sixth book in Pepper North’s Sanctum series. Readers meet Rita and Bart. She is a bartender who gets in trouble and seeks safety in his horse trailer. He is a Vetenarian returning to Sanctum. He helps her escape. Can he keep her safe? Will they end up together? You must read this book to find out.
Yet again, Ms. North created another enjoyable character-driven romantic plot wherein the lead characters have a chemistry between them. I like that Ms. North presents a well-thought-out plot that is enhanced through her use of dialog, dual POV, and descriptive language. Her mastery of these literary devices allows her readers to witness her characters journey firsthand. Nicely done, Ms. North.

Exciting and Loving
Wow, talk about a rush when reading this book. Love all the excitement that came with the turn of each page. It is always enjoying when a book pulls you in and gets you list in the pages. You will laugh, maybe cry. But you will enjoy the reading.
Rita and Bart are beautiful together and they both strive to be happy together and love each other. Lots of work for Bart to overcome her self esteem issues, but that's a daddy's job.

Little in trouble
Rita found herself in a bit of a pickle when she found her boss snorting cocaine.
He forced her to stay where she was while he met with the dealer.
She ran and found herself in a horse trailer.
Bart the owner of the horse trailer found her and told her to get in the front of the truck but be careful because of the metal bar there.
In her hurry (and being short) she ended up hitting her head so hard she ended up with a concussion and loosing her memory.
Enjoy this book as much as I did and find out what all they have to go through in order to find happiness.

I received a copy of this book in return for my review and I love this book!! Rescuing Rita is another smash hit by Pepper North! There is something about how Pepper weaves her stories. She has a true gift of giving readers a wonderful, heartfelt, and loving story. Rescuing Rita is another example of Pepper North’s outstanding ability. Don’t miss out. Read this beautiful story today. A love story about a Daddy and Little Girl and how they manage to find each other.
October 22, 2019
This is the next book in the SANCTUM series. Rita is held at gunpoint by her boss when he realizes that she has seen him doing drugs. When he takes her with him to meet his dealer, she escapes into a horse trailer owned by Bart. Bart is a Daddy looking for a Little. He rescues her and takes her home. They spend time together learning they want the same thing. It's a beautiful story and, as always, too short for me!

I loved Rescuing Rita! Caught in a bad spot, seeing her boss with drugs sing them and for sale, Rita is held hostage and taken to a poo hall. Knowing shes in serious danger, she takes off. fortunately she's ratted out by a horse. Luckily Bart knows there's a problem. Also unfortunate Rita bashes her head and gets amnesia. This story had a bit of self discovery and crime. But Daddy Bart knows best!

Repetitive
So far, I’ve read all of the books in this series except book one (because it’s not on kindle unlimited). It has been like reading the same book over and over again with minor tweaks. They all begin with a closet Little that is in danger. She doesn’t think littles exist in real life. A tough daddy swoops in to protector. They fall in love instantly. I hope the author comes up with a fresh storylines because I would like to read more of her books.

It’s a good story
I’m not a huge fan of age play stories, it’s sort of a train wreck for me and I get caught up in them. That being said, it is an interesting story but some word usage bothered me. I would stop dead and reread a line and found it was usually a tense that bothered me. These are my own idiosyncrasies and not a stab at the author and her slew of proof readers and editors. If you enjoy this genre, you will like the story.

Let me preface this with admitting I haven’t read the other books in this series but it stands on its own just fine. Age play isn’t my thing but I’m always open to walking in someone else’s world just to see what the noise is all about. Rescuing Rita is a sweet insta love story of a curvy bartender who ends up on trouble being rescued by a hunky vet who want to be her Daddy. The romantic suspense elements were terrific. Still not into age play but I enjoyed the story.

A cute DdLg story
I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved that Dr Bart Jennings was the hero for Rita when she got into trouble after seeing her boss doing illegal things. I loved that Bart recognised that Rita was a Little and he wanted to be her Daddy. There was a lot going on and I loved the elements of danger but then the hero Daddy saves his Little girl.
I am voluntarily leaving my review for this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys the DDLG stories.

Rita saw something she shouldn’t have at work and now she’s on the run. Bartholomew is transporting a horse to Sanctum, the private community for Daddies and Littles. When Rita hides in the horse trailer to escapes the men wanting to hurt her and Bartholomew discovers her, she has no idea how her life is going to change. Things get more complicated when Rita injures her head and the only thing, she can remember is her name. I loved this book, this is a just read.

OMG!! I was so into this book as soon as poor Rita was in trouble. But that doesnt compare to what she went through after that. I was so happy that the guy who helped her out turned out to be the one she had been looking for along. Pepper is a new tome author and I seem to be reading her work like there is now tomorrow!!

A very enjoyable read
Rita has always wanted a Daddy but now she is in the hands of a very bad man. She escapes and hides in the horse trailers of a vet. He has been looking for his Little for a long time and when he finds Rita he believes he has found her, but first they have to get her out of the trouble she is in. A very engaging story.

Bart sure is a good protector and Daddy! He's the most patient of all the Daddy's are Sanctum, I believe.
Bart is very careful with Rita while she regains her memory and both realize that they want the same thing in their relationship. Very enjoyable read and am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Rescuing Rita
This was another good story in the SANCTUM series. The heroine gets accidentally mixed up with drug dealers, and the hero meets her when she hides in his trailer. There is a bit of danger and mystery, a sweet romance, and of course a great HEA, and another family living at SANCTUM!

Love the sanctum series. The love and care of the sanctum residents draws me and and rita and bart were no exception. Rita is a brave little girl and bart is her perfect daddy. And the little bit of danger ties it all together. Can't wait for more!!
