Will he convince them that he’s the Daddy they’ve always wanted?

Adoring Ali and Ace is the eighth book in the SANCTUM series, but could be read as a stand alone. Zeke is on a vacation, waiting for his home to be complete in SANCTUM, when he meets Ali and Ace surfing. Knowing immediately they are the Littles that he’s been looking for, will he be able to convince them that he’s the Daddy they’ve always wanted?

Ms. North always does a fantastic job of creating a romance that just sweeps you away from reality and into a world of dreams! Ali, Ace, and Zeke were adorable, sweet, mischievous, and made a perfect connection that you just couldn’t help but cheer for! Ali and Ace have been a bonded pair since they were little, as different as they are similar, and I loved that they both craved a Daddy to complete their relationship. Zeke had some trust issues to overcome with both Ali and Ace, but he was determined, protective, caring, passionate, and loving. I loved watching them learn to trust one another and create the new bonds of family, and how love could truly conquer anything. There’s not too much drama in this book, it moves quickly, but once you start, you get sucked right in! I enjoyed this romance, the age play, and the connections the three main characters created!

Zeke has come to the coast looking to relax while he waits for his house to be completed at SANCTUM. He has always known he wanted two Littles, a boy and a girl. His dream comes true when he stops at a tourist hot spot restaurant, he finds a seat at the bar and is greeted by Ali, soon Ace the other bartender stops by two. The connection between the three is instant. The next morning he finds the two out surfing and joins them, starting their relationship. Their transition to becoming his Little’s is pretty smooth, with one hiccup when Ali sees the pizza delivery girl kiss her Daddy. Even though Ace had his insecurities he talks Ali into trusting Zeke. Zeke’s love and care of his Littles is sweet, he’s mindful of their needs and does a good job reassuring them. Their sexy times are hot too. Loved when they both join him at SANCTUM and you get to see all the other Littles again. They are all happy to have Ali & Ace join their Little group. Epilogue with both Ali & Ace getting settled into their Little lifestyle with their Daddy.

Zeke finally had the time for a vacation and so heads to the coast expecting to find sand, ocean breezes and perfect relaxation. What he finds is that plus two captivating locals who he suspects are Littles. Ali and Ace are best friends and lovers. They are determined to stay together but know that someone is missing from their lives - the question is could the new holidaymakers be their Daddy and will there be a place at his new house in SANCTUM for them both?

I enjoyed this story which was a little complicated due to the two Littles to one Daddy scenario even though they were also involved together. This did stretch my belief slightly but Zeke did seem to know that was what he wanted even before they met and he did handle it carefully. I enjoyed all the emotion-based parts of the book and the doubts which were valid given the conclusion was to move somewhere else. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature content of a BDSM nature in a Daddy/Little relationship.

finding love when you least expect it

Zeke has been looking for his little for a long time.
Taking a vacation and surfing is the last place he expected to find both of this little already a bonded pair.
Ali and Ace working as bartenders in an oceanfront restaurant have been searching for their Daddy.
There are trust issues on both sides and jealousy on Ali and Aces side.
Communication is the best for everyone and they can work through anything when that happens.
Santcum is everything they dreamed it would be.
I realize this is not everyones choice of reading but if you do not want to read about age play, this is not the book for you.
Pepper writes exceptional stories.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Whenever I get in the mood to read a story about Daddies and their Littles, I know I can count on Pepper North to deliver. In this one, Zeke, while on vacation, finds the 2 littles he has been searching for. Now if he can just convince them that he will love them and care for them. Ali and Ace know they are littles but they have no Daddy. Zeke is a dream come true. I love that all 3 instantly connected with each other and I loved how Zeke took special care of each other them, especially since they had different needs. Being a Daddy to 2 littles isn't a walk in the park ya know. LOL I also enjoyed seeing some of the other Daddies and their littles when Zeke brings Ali and Ace to SANCTUM. Just an all around good feel story!!

Loved the story

I love your books your one of a few writers in the little world that does gay and bisexual stories about little s. I wish a writer would do a story about a transgender little I only say this because and sure I'm not alone when I say I feel like transgender little s are left out. The only that people write about transgender little s is we are all grouped in as sissies but some of as are just little like the little girls and boys you write about we dream of having a mommy or daddy to love us for who we are. Again don't get me wrong I love your books and thank you for your stories.

Another Star To Add To Sanctum Series

4.5 Stars. Zeke was in vacation before moving into his new empty house in SANCTUM. Ali and Ace are bartenders at local restaurant. Two bonded Littles and no daddy. Could Zeke be a Daddy looking for two Little's? Enjoyed reading the journey about a little becoming a little, just was too short. Roughly ended around 85%. Maybe more of All and Ace finding what age they really were? Maybe I am to picky just could use a bit more story for the price. I love how she writes so no I never want it to end, but at 85%?

On vacation Zeke finds his littles

After taking time off from work and waiting for his house to be finished at Sanctum, Zeke was surprised to find his two littles in a small coastal town. Not only did Ali & Ace work together but they have been best friends who have also been looking for their Daddy. It was brought up that Zeke noticed Ace had a bad past & would find out about him & Ali in their alone time, I was dissapointed that was kind of glossed over. Other than that I enjoyed the story.

Zeke knew it was time to slow down and move to Sanctum. While he was waiting for his house to finish he took a little trip to the ocean. Where he met Ali and Ace. The Littles he’d been waiting for. He always knew he wanted two Littles a bonded pair that loved each other and would love him too. He’s their dream come true as well. But he lives in Sanctum and they have a life and jobs in the little vacation town. Would they be willing to give everything up and take a chance on him? Looks like Sanctum maybe gaining two more Littles.

Surfing for A Daddy

This was a very cute story, mad me want to go out and build a sandcastle. I loved watching the three of them flirt and tease each other was really fun to watch. Made me feel like I was sitting right at the bar with them.

We even had a little drama involved in the story, even if it was just a few pages long it was still exciting.

Can't wait until the next story.

I love this author. Her books are my guilty secret which I make no apologises for because they are sweet quick interesting reads. This one has some menage scenes also M/m and M/w. This is a sweet sexy age play story. I loved Ali and Ace. They are looking for their Dominant Daddy. Zeke has been looking for his significant others for ages. Their chemistry is instant and real. This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. I very highly recommend this wonderfully written story.

Daddy for Two

I wasn't sure how this would play out as a Daddy to two Littles but it was a sweet love story. Ali and Ace have been searching for their Daddy and in walks Zeke, literally. This was a fun story and this unusual trio were made for each other. I loved that this brought another male Little into Sanctum. I also enjoyed that their Littles were different ages. Another great addition to this great series.

Zeke is Daddy on vacation to get some much-needed relaxation. While out to eat Zeke meets Ali and Ace and he suspects they are Littles. Ali and Ace are best friends and lovers but something is missing, they need a Daddy. This is a beautiful story of three people who are missing a major part in their relationship needs and they finally find what has been missing. There are some misunderstandings along the way but it appears they will be able to get past any hurtle. I loved this book.

This was one of the most calmly loving books I have read in a long time. It is a feel good story and brings a nice light to an incredible lifestyle for those so inclined. I once again am amazed at the talent Pepper North has so willingly shared with readers who crave nurturing and accountable relationships.

Read one Pepper North Novel

You’ve read them all. She’s an author that fills the need for a quick and barely mediocre Little fix while you wait for a good Little story. No shade, she clearly is doing what she loves and making money. Good for her and the readers when nothing else is appealing.

Pepper North is addictive

Facebook gave me a suggestion for one of her books, and there's no going back. I've binged the whole Sanctum series and half of Dr Richards' Littles. I love seeing the characters from previous books pop in to the new stories. My favorites are the non-traditional little. Not everyone is 20 something, skinny, or helpless. Anyone can be Little

Loved it great story

I’m so happy to see another SANCTUM story. Zeke, Ali and Ace just seem to hit it off so well. I’m happy the two Little’s spoke up against their fears and asked Zeke if he was a Daddy. It’s a wonderful story.

Ali and Ace❤️❤️❣️

Ali and Ace grew up together, now shared an apartment, and were looking for their Daddy Dom. Zeke was building a home in a private community just for “Littles”. Will they meet up and start a relationship? A five star book and Author ❤️❤️.

Another wonderful serves ♥

Each and every book is heartwarming. I couldn't put the books down once started and had to read all of them back to back. Hoping for more stories of Sanctum and Zoey, her daddy, and all her friends.

Adoring Ali and Ace

I loved this story! I think the thing I like most about the Sanctum stories is the fairy tale aspect - they meet accidentally, there is instant attraction, they fall in love and we get a heartfelt HEA!

So good!

I love the Sanctum series! I’m not one for ABDL but Pepper does it beautifully.

This triangle of love had my heart melting at every turn and I couldn’t read it fast enough. I loved their dynamic! Will definitely be rereading in the future!

Ali and Ace wanted a Daddy. They found him. Selena has wanted his littles for a long, long time and he knew Ali and Ace were his when he met them. All he needed to do was convince them. This is a great series and I have read all 9 of the books.

Another great read from pepper north. Lots of light and dark moments in this story. Think daddy was into the boy more than to the girl.that's just my oppioin. But daddy says he loves them equally.
