Pepped Up (Pepper Jones)

My best friend’s that guy. You know the one. Popular. Quarterback. Trouble. And clueless about my deeper feelings for him. So I’m focused on my other love, running.

I want to qualify for cross country nationals, and I don’t need to be distracted by Jace Wilder’s latest shenanigans. Good thing there's a new guy in town. Even better, Ryan Harding is a running star, and it seems I've caught his interest.

I can handle long miles and hill sprints, but guys? That’s an entirely different challenge.

"Ali Dean is Incredible! This is one of my all time favorite sports YA series. If you haven't read it yet, you are missing out. It is worth the purchase. You will read and reread again and again."

"I absolutely loved this book. Everything about it. It's dripping with angst, has strong characters, an edge of your seat romance, and a fabulous running subplot."

"Ali Dean definitely knows how to write a good series. From the first time I read about Pepper Jones (yes I've reread) I fell in love with these characters and the places they will go. I can't wait to see how far Ali takes this." - Bedknobs and Book Babes Blog

"This author is clearly a very talented writer. Her writing is smooth, and her characterizations are vivid and three dimensional. Pepper is a dynamic, extremely sympathetic heroine. I enjoyed the use of first-person point of view, and I found the window into Pepper's running world fascinating."
