Pepped Up

Pepper Jones Book 1

By: Ali Dean

Narrated by: Stacey Glemboski

Qualifying for Nationals. It’s all I can think about, and I’m willing to do anything it takes to make it happen. I can handle long miles and hill sprints in cross country, but guys? That’s an entirely different challenge.

I’ve kept my feelings hidden from the boy next door all this time. My longtime friend Jace Wilder doesn’t see me that way. He has the personal magnetism and good looks to hook just about any girl in town - and he has. Our friendship stands apart from high school social circles, and I’m fine with that, or so I keep telling myself.

That is, until running star Ryan Harding moves to town and bridges the gap. Apparently, I’ve caught his eye, and suddenly Jace starts seeing me in a different light. Everything changes, for all of us.

On the trails, my goals are clear. Train, run, breathe, run, win. But when it comes to Jace and Ryan, it’s nowhere near as simple. This battle can’t be won by crossing a finish line; this war is in my heart.

this book was given to me at my request for review

couldn't stop listening to this book. I enjoyed every moment of the friendship between runners and football players...

Bunny is a Blast!

I've been looking for something similar to listen to since finishing the Fallen Crest series for the third time in a year and I found it in Pepper Jones. This is my first book by Ali Dean and I truly enjoyed it! The characters felt like friends and I was thoroughly engrossed in their life and problems. I can't wait to move on to book 2.

I have to say though, Jace made me want to smack him pretty much throughout the entire book. I know Pepper just wanted to be there for him but I don't know if I could have forgiven him so easily.

And then there's Bunny. Everyone needs a grandmother like Bunny.

The narrator does a great job. this is my first book with her and hopefully won't be my last.

Good story, great narration.

I requested this book because of the narrator and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed it and look forward to listening to the next book. I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

love Tijan!!

It was great, she portrayed the characters how I imagined them. The only thing I would have changed was some of the excitement levels at the different points where Pepper won the races or when some exciting parts happened. It really helped to have the audible of the book, helped me picture the scenes that I only thought of. It felt like I was there.

Sweet story

I love a good friend to lovers story and this guy the bill. I enjoyed how well the characters were developed and grew to love them as much as I did the main characters.
