All Pepped Up (Pepper Jones)

All Pepped UpPepper Jones, Book 2By: Ali DeanNarrated by: Stacey GlemboskiAli Dean delivers more Pepper Jones’ greatness in this second book of her series. I am loving and thoroughly enjoying this series. It is well written with interesting storylines that are completely engrossing, once you start the book you do not want to put it down. The characters are well developed and continue to grow and evolve. Pepper Jones broke things off with Ryan at the end of the 1st book and she is finally where she belongs with Jace. The two are a force to be reckoned with. Wes and Jace are on good terms and they share some info with Pepper that leaves her with mixed feelings. Pepper has some inner struggles of her own, insecurities about running and staying on top. And then there are the outside forces in the form of the mean girls who try to stir up trouble for Jace and Pepper’s relationship. Ali Dean does a great job capturing teenage angst and H.S drama. I loved how Jace handled himself and some of the challenges, mainly Mad-Evil. I also love how Pepper manages to find her inner strength in both her racing and her self confidence in her personal life. I can not recommend this book and series enough, great for any age, young adult and up. Ali Dean, thank you for another great heartfelt story I am looking forward to what comes next for these great characters.I listened to the Audible edition, Stacey Glemboski is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. She continues to bring these characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality and a whole lot of heart. I love her take on these characters, she makes them sound as real as Ali Dean wrote them to be. Stacey is a talented and entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen🎧Thank you 🎧@AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsession #AudiobookObsessionReviewer🎧

All Pepped Up is the second book in the series Peper Jones by Ali Dean. In this book, Jace and Pepper are in a relationship. We see them as a couple and how they resolve their problems and how they manage to keep their relationship going.Pepper is a little insecure because Jace was with other girls and he is like a celebrity in their town. Everyone knows Jace and he likes to be around people. She is afraid that Jace will leave her but Jace reassures her that he only loves her. We can see the softer side of Jace and I love this side of him. Jace is patient and sweet with Pepper.In this book, we learned more about the past of Jace. We see him understanding and forgiving mistakes and him to give a second chance.Pepper found out Jace’s family secrets and she was hurt because she didn’t understand why Jace didn’t trust her with his secrets.Pepper was more mature in this book because she supported Jace and his decisions even if she didn’t understand his decisions. I liked her because she was there for Jace and she gave him what he needed. Also, Jace was there for Pepper when she needed his support.I like this book because we get to see Jace and Peper like a couple and I love their relationship. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Nit a fan of Jace and Pepper in this one.Jace Is a controlling freak in this especially in the beginning of this book. There's a part in chapter 9 that really was concerning and made him come across as one of those people who abuse their partner by isolating them from the rest of the world. Almost didn't finish the book at that point.Pepper is the annoying extreme opposite of Jace. She just takes anything he gives her even if he's being abusive.Good part was that both characters mellowed out as the boikbwent in. This book is all about Pepper's insecurities.The mysterious things eluded in the synopsis were not what I expected and was cool seeing the characters develop.

I really liked the book! It's the typical story of boy and girl are best friends, she secretly loves him and when a new possible love interest shows up, the boy finally steps up. You have the everyday struggles for teens in high school about social imagine, popularity, rumors, bullying, etc.What makes Pepper stand out as a female character from other books alike is her drive for running, competitiveness and always trying to see both sides of things. Jace on the other hand, he's really sweet but I think he did a 180 in a really quick and out of nowhere way, which the author never fully explains and he just keeps messing up.It's a feel good romance to pass the time and even if you don't love it you will get hooked and buy the following books in the series.

There is something about this story that has sucked me into it and won't let me go on to another. I like Pepper. I like that Pepper is focused on school and her running. She doesn't get into school politics and popularity contests. Jace unfortunately brings some baggage into their relationship and trust becomes an issue between them. I will be reading the next book in the series to find out what other hurdles are thrown in their way!

Love the Pepper Jones series. Anxiously waiting for more books! Love how protective he is of Pepper. But there is still too much sex for me to want my teen to read it. Even though main characters haven't had sex with each other, lots of other characters are 'easy', and they have done sexual acts together that aren't appropriate pre-marriage.

Really enjoying this series. Was a little confused on there age group at first Benn a Brit so not all too familiar with the sophomore and senior terms. Great characters and a great story line hope we see more greatness in the next book and maybe a little of Jace's p.o.v

Was a little disappointed with this book as I really enjoyed the first book and it was a large jump from book one to the second book. I think there should have been more of a description of the beginning of the relationship rather than diving straight in to a timeline that showed them three months in. Part of the draw of Pepped Up was in fact the "chase" itself. Still enjoyed it however, but not nearly as much as the first book.

Book 2/2 so far with this series, loved the drama, love and friendships and the sports aspects of it.Ali Dean, I love your work!

Really enjoying this series so far! The story line is believable and you can't help but like the characters. Looking forward to the next installment.

good read couldn't put it down
