Sanctum #1

Sharing Shelby

Rate this book
When a Little girl fantasizes about having two Daddies, will her dreams come true? Shelby discovers that a beautiful blue dress is not the only prize she finds on her lunch shift. Her boss, Jeremy Andrews, is enchanted by the young lady who becomes his Little girl. When she feels a special connection with his best friend, will the two men be able to accept that Shelby needs both of them to be fully happy?

As she sat in the deep seat, Shelby’s mind was racing. “What kind of punishment is he talking about?” she asked herself as a picture of her nude body stretched over Jeremy’s strong thighs flashed into her brain.

Just as her fantasy portrayed Jeremy’s hand about to spank her bottom, he opened the door. He paused with his lower half framed in the open doorway for several seconds as if he knew she had been picturing his thighs under her body. Leaning in, he unbuckled her seat belt and helped her out of the car. Silently, he escorted her into the restaurant.

Jeremy watched her face as the waiter listed the specials and asked if they wished anything to drink. Realizing that Shelby was lost in her thoughts, he ordered drinks for the two of them. Placing his hand over hers that moved restlessly in her lap, Jeremy watched her jump slightly before she lifted her eyes to meet his.

“What kind of punishment?” she whispered urgently.

“Most Little girls find a spanking helps them learn to stop bad habits,” Jeremy said conversationally as he looked over the menu.


Pepper North introduces you to a new age play community. Shelby's story introduces you to the first residents in this community that is isolated from the surrounding world. Here Littles can be Little and Daddies can take care of their Little ones carefully.

As always, Pepper's books feature invasive medical treatments, diaper changes, spankings, and other punishments. If you are offended by age play (adults who choose to live as a Little or a parent of a Little), or dubious consent, this is not the book for you.

160 pages, Kindle Edition

Sharing Shelby is part of the SANCTUM series, and completely stands alone. Shelby has always wanted to be a Little, with two Daddies to help keep her in line and to love her. She’s surprised when a chance encounter with her boss, Jeremy, finds her first Daddy. As she adjusts to their new lifestyle together, she meets Jeremy’s friend, Beau, and she just knows he’s the one to complete her dreams. But can she bring the three of them together, or will the idea only tear them apart?

This was such a sweet Daddy Dom/Little romance between Shelby, Jeremy, and Beau! I enjoyed reading all about their interactions, her learning to fully engage within the Little lifestyle, and I loved watching her Daddies push her limits in a loving and guiding way. Shelby was so sweet and innocent at times, and I loved how well she regressed into a little girl. Jeremy and Beau were exactly what she needed, loving, stern, passionate, and were able to let her be the little she wanted. I loved that Shelby was able to focus on a relationship with both of her Daddies and I loved that she was the one who was able to bring the family together! I really enjoyed reading this age play romance!

very adorable and enjoyable DD/lg/DD story

Pepper North does what she does best in this quick read: age play romance.

This book contains diapers, bottles, spankings, and explicit Mf and MfM scenes.

There isn’t much tension and conflict, which would have given the story and the characters more depth IMO.

Still, a very enjoyable read for who’s comfortable with age play.

providing an honest review after receiving a complementary copy from the author via BookFunnel

not sure why I gave this one a go.

ok the sex scenes were hot and I can understand the daddy role play in the bedroom I just cant see why you would continue it out of the bed room.

I cant see the appeal in want to have a full grown baby that you want to have sex with?

and why would an adult was to act like a baby and wear little girl clothes a play with toys.

I have no idea what about wearing and using a nappy or changing a nappy does it for either party.

think I will just give these books a miss in the future I cannot see the appeal. not for me

Love the way Shelby got her dream come true. She first meet Jeremy and they were happy until Beau came along and he was a long time friend of Jeremy and he was helping them build their new home. When he met Shelby there were sparks and Shelby did not know how to tell Jeremy. Now you can read the book and see how all this works out. Enjoy

This is a fast-paced steamy age play read where Shelby has two daddies. The story is off the charts hot with great chemistry. I would have liked know a bit more about Shelby’s daddies, overall, the story is fun and entertaining. A good read!

Hard to get past the diapers

My first 'age play' book and pretty sure my last.
This kink is just not for me. Like I mentioned,the soiling of adult diapers.....just no.

Different for me but good

This is the second age play story I have ever read and it was a pretty good story overall. I don't think the genre is for me though. An adult should only be in a diaper for medical reasons. Eww. And even though it might turn them all on, consenting adults are involved so the little does not need to be treated like an actual child all the time - wearing diapers, can't use knives or feather dusters, can't go outside into the back yard without supervision, drinking from a baby bottle or sippy cup, sitting in a highchair. ??? Seems like borderline pedophilia, especially considering there will be sexy times.

Shelby met Jeremy at her office. Seemingly he is the big boss since he fired her supervisor. It's insta-love for the two but she's always dreamt of having two daddies. Enter Beau, a longtime friend of Jeremy. Their growing pains are interesting to read, with Jeremy not wanting to share his little girl but also wanting to placate Shelby. Beau was sensitive to his friend's feelings but not enough to back off. Shelby gets her two daddies and they get their forever little girl.

Shelby seemed to be in a little mindset too often. She was late to work upon our meeting her to buy a little girl dress in a big girl size. And she took it to work. At her first meeting with Jeremy, she quickly fell into the role with him, to the point she allowed him to order chocolate milk at a restaurant for her. ??? And she was so occupied in one scene that she trekked mud through the house and crawled into her bed dirty. Really?! Hence the outside without supervision comment - her daddies were too addled to follow her muddy footprints vice darn near putting out an APB. SMH.

So I am a fan of Age Play romance. I am and never have been a judger of kinks as I tend to have own and wouldn’t like to have the tables turned on me. Therefor I was super excited to get my hands on Sharing Shelby.

This book was the definition of Age Play. And not just part time either – but the full monty in which Shelby pretty much became a little girl 24/7. Even though this was a really sweet book – with a lot of cute bits and some really good writing there were a few things that didn’t quite gel for me. Not a big fan of Shelby. She was a bit too ‘stereotypical’. I haven’t read the other books in the series so I don’t know if this is the norm for Ms North but having someone who can’t really take care of themselves as an adult being the little girl was a bit much for me. Just because someone likes to dress up and be a Little doesn’t mean that they have to be that persona in all things. I guess that is probably why a 24/7 lifestyle suited her best.

I did ABSOLUTELY adore her daddies though. Jeremy was exactly what I would have pictured as the perfect ‘first’ daddy for any Little. Incredibly patient and so generous with his time and affections. Add in Beau who in my eyes is a little more firm and the more sexy daddy and I was practically drooling by the end of the book.

All in all it was a really cute read. Very happy with a very happy sweet ending.

Sharing Shelby is an age-play love story between two men and one woman. It's a very cute daddy dom and little girl story.
I enjoyed reading about their lifestyle and will continue reading this series. This book kept me interested until the very end. Sharing Shelby is an easy and fast read, and the story flow was great.
Sharing Shelby is a great start to the Sanctum series. All of the books in the series are standalones, but some of the characters make small appearances in other stories. I think it's always fun to see old favourites in a new book.

The characters in this book were amazing, and I enjoyed reading about their journey to happiness. Shelby's Daddies are very protective and lovable. Shelby is sweet and innocent, and her Daddies were exactly what she needed. I loved their interactions with each other. I liked how they had realistic conversations between them about their relationship and where it would go. Especially between Beu and Jeremy, when they decide to become throuple.

I would recommend Pepper North books if you like sweet age-play books. Pepper has amazing books, and I really like her Dr. Richards' littles series.

I received a free ARC copy of this book, and I am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions are my own.

I enjoy reading Age Play as a change from the numerous other genres I read. I especially like it when the author does it well.

This is the state of a new series, Sanctum, which is the name of the development that is being built. And yes, like someone else said, it isn't really clear what the "sanctum" in the title is until quite a ways into the book. It isn't spoiling anything for me to say here, it should have been mentioned earlier.

I enjoyed the book overall, and really enjoyed the characters, especially Shelby. I do wish she would have switched from Adult to Little when she was in a different setting, such as the office where she stayed in a Little mindset, which just seemed off to me somehow.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the author does with this series. So far, the series is taking an interesting direction.

Shelby has always had fantasies of having two Daddies - when she is late after her lunch shift she doesn't just get a brilliant blue dress but her boss Jeremy Andrews as her Daddy. When he meets her he is just enchanted by her. Jeremy introduces her to the realities of being a Little and she soon settles into the world of punishment, reward and pleasing her Daddy. When she meets Jeremy's best friend can they both get used to the idea of her having them both as her Daddies?

It was a nice book with plenty of detail on what being a Little or a Daddy entails. I liked the emotions and thoughts that they all had to go through as part of becoming a three with two Daddies. Contains BDSM-like behaviour around the Daddy/Little side of things as well as some mature content. Easy to read and understand.

Anything For Shelby

I recently realized I'd read several books in the Sanctum series but not the one that started it all. Having "met, Shelby and her guys as side characters I've been fascinated by their dynamic so it was time to read their story.

I loved the fact that this menage started off as just a couple, with Shelby and Jeremy developing a solid foundation in their relationship. Shelby's desire for 2 daddies wasn't a secret and while not what he planned, Jeremy knew he'd always give Shelby what she needed.

I liked the honesty of the growing pains in the menage when Beau was brought into the picture. It didn't matter that Beau and Jeremy were lifetime friends, it still required A LOT of discussion, planning and maybe one fist fight.

Shelby dream comes true

Shelby always knew that she was a little but never found her Daddy. She slammed into him by accident on her way to work. She didn't know that Jeremy was the owner, where she worked. But she had the tingling feeling when he touched her.
She always dreamed of having two daddies. When Jeremy told her he wanted to be her Daddy, she was thrilled. But she told him she always dreamed of having two daddies. He didn't know how he would handle that.
He adored her and wanted to make her his.
Beau was a friend of Jeremy's. He also was a Daddy looking for a little girl. Shelby had the same feelings for Beau.
Great story of two men loving their little girl and showering her with love.
Another great story by Pepper North

I was so happy to be able to get my hands on this book. I mean who wouldnt like to read a story about a Daddy and his little knowing that there would we a second Daddy to share the same little. When I first started reading this book I was having a hard time getting into it but a couple chapters in something grabbed me and I was able to read with great ease and flow. I was so excited when it got to the part of Shelby getting what she had been wanting and that was two Daddies to love and care for her.

1 Little 2 Daddies

Shelby always knew she was a little.
But, she kept dreaming of having 2 daddies.
Jeremy was looking for his little girl and found her at one of his businesses.
Her tummy felt funny when she met Jeremy so she knew he was a Daddy.
He started to build his house in Sanctum with help from his friend Beau.
To Shelbys horror, she also had the same feelings when she met Beau.
Discord between the 2 friends scared Shelby and she blamed herself.
I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did and find the solid ground they grow on.

It is a light and easy read, with a continued focus on diapers, taking temperatures. It's really on light steam, this genre is all about the lifestyle - that seems to be the kink rather than sexual activity. It is Ok, well written and I found it interesting that the h, and her dream of 2 daddies was the real power driving this relationship. What was annoying was the cover with awful stretched images - they don't have an connection to the story.

This is an age play book by author Pepper North. I have been reading the Dr Richards Little series and thought I would venture into this group as well. It seems that the Sanctum series the Littles are a bit older or at least Shelby is in her age play. I like Menage so this drew me to this one. This book has a lot more sex in it and less age play. I look forward to reading and seeing how the community of Sanctum was grown in future books.

Endearing storyline

I am not a little or even really understand littles but I know a few in RL and thought I would give this author a read. I enjoyed it enough to consider reading a few more in the sanctum series. Shelby is a very young little and it was interesting reading how the little and adult needs were entwined and met. This is a story for a very specific bdsm genre and if you are not open minded or interested in this specific kink move along.

Interesting premise and cute cover, but poor execution. I've had the same issue with another age play book by this author, where there's never any discussion or even any passing comment of the MCs talking about safe words and consent. That small omission is a huge problem for me. Without that discussion taking place, almost all of the spanking scenes and the scenes with medical play come across as very unsavory when the Little is saying "no".

Two Daddy’s for her

This is the first book in this Sanctum series. As this is the first book I have read from this author I am glad to start at the beginning of the series. I enjoyed Shelby’s story. I love the name she picked for her puppy. Very creative.

I definitely recommend and am ready for book 2. 😊

Shelby, Jackson, and Beau

This a very good, short, well written, DD/lg romance. The characters are interesting, lovable, and well developed. This is the first story in a new series by Pepper North. Each story is self contained but the location, Sanctum stays the same. Read and enjoy.

I have a serious addiction to these age-play stories. There is a deep level of connection between the characters that just draws you in and won't let go. I am excited to see where this series will go!

Sharing Shelby

This was a sweet story of MFM ménage and age play, as a little girl finds her forever daddies. It also introduces the secluded neighborhood of Sanctm, designed just for age play families. I’m looking forward to more in the series!
