Pep Talks (Pepper Jones Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Ali Dean (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (651)
Jace
College isn’t all fun and games, and it gets lonely at the top. Thankfully, I have Pepper. She is the last person I would ever dream of hurting, but when I realize she has the power to break my heart, I do the only thing I know. I push her away like I did back in high school, back when I thought she was better off without me. One thing’s becoming clear, I’m not better off without her. I need her. What have I done?
Pepper
I thought everything would fall into place when I started college, instead everything is falling apart. Uncertain of my coach’s expectations or my place amongst new cross country teammates, I’m struggling to redefine my running goals and prove myself. My steady relationship with Jace should be a source of comfort, but his unexplained behavior throws everything between us off track. Running may be the only way to help me get through it, but I’m not running away, not from this new team or from Jace. This freshman is headed for the finish line, and nothing is standing in my way.

Ali hails from Vermont and now lives in her own happily-ever-after in Colorado with her husband, two sets of twins, and golden retriever Pancake.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Rip your heart out good
    Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016

    This book. I'm actually kicking myself for never having reviewed this one. I absolutely love this series, though I can't remember anymore how I stumbled upon it. I do remember how much I pestered this poor author for more. Shoot, if she were to tell me today she was writing more I would scream with glee. Okay, phew. Point is, I love the story of Pepper and Jace, although this book was a little hard to get through because of all the s*** these two are put through.

    Pepper starts her freshman year at college, already making friends with her teammates and having fun. Things with Jace are going great, although he lives off campus it is within walking distance. It's going to be a great year, right?

    Ehhhh, maybe not. Like I've stated in other reviews it wouldn't be a good story line with out drama and oh boy there is a lot of that to be had. Pepper needs to grow up, a lot. Jace has a lot to learn about him self. They say you can't kill love, but Ali Dean does know how to wound us pretty badly.

    I remember when I finished this book it was like one or two in the morning and all I wanted to do was cry, my heart was crushed, Ali Dean stated the length of time we had to wait for the next book and it was just too long for me. I needed to know what my "friends" so to speak. were up to. I needed to make sure things were going to be okay. It wasn't good enough to know that there would be another book.

    If you can't already tell by the way I'm talking, Pepper and Jace hit a rough patch in their relationship and Jace himself goes through a really hard time with his family. I can't go into too much detail, I wont spoil it for you. I do have a bit of advice, don't read this one with out having the next one pre downloaded and keep chocolate and tissues close by. Your heart will be ripped out, but don't worry, you don't have to wait for the next one like I did.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good continuation of the series...can't wait for the next book!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book is a good continuation of the Pepper Jones series, which all have been well-written, highly entertaining books, coming of age books about a female runner. This book was the most emotional wrenching of all of them so far, which would seem to fit within a college coming of age story. The ending of the book is a little emotionally brutal and ends in a cliffhanger.

    Pepper continues to be a very likeable heroine and I really enjoyed reading about her transition to college athlete life. I liked the camaraderie among the running team (both between and among the female and male running teams).

    As for the love story between Pepper and Jace, I'm a little torn and don't want to give away spoilers. Jace seems like this larger than life, utterly magnetic person to whom people just gravitate. He and Pepper appear to have this lasting connection. While he seems like he is wonderful and with whom Pepper might end up, I've always wondered if he was right for Pepper...is he Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now for her? I haven't always been convinced that he is either. In the first few books, particularly "Pepped Up", I thought Jace had a bit of a dog in the manger mentality--he wasn't ready to have a relationship/make a move on Pepper but didn't want anyone else with her. Pepper always seemed to think that she wasn't good enough for Jace when in my mind, it's always been the other way around. Plus, Ali Dean has written some pretty good romantic alternatives for Pepper, with whom I kind of want Pepper to explore more (or continue to explore more). Not that Pepper *has* to be in a relationship, but to the extent that she is in a relationship/wants to be in a relationship, there are some great options for her from guys who have always stood by and supported her.

    Can't wait for the next book in this series...it's going to be tough waiting until next year!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pepper Gets Tough
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Pepper finally goes to college. But there's a sudden change in this book. Something goes wrong which causes Jace to push away Pepper. But Pepper sucks it up, ignores Jace and focuses on her running. She also has to contend with the college life, partying and drinking. She in a way had to become numb to be solely focused on running. She also has to deal with a teammate who might have an eating disorder. She struggles to figure out when it's the right time to get her help, when it is not? Even when Jace comes back and apologies, Pepper still walks away. She had enough. So where does this leave them? So many questions, not enough answers.

    In a way, I was glad that Pepper finally got her balls to walk away. Jace has to learn that there's a line where even the best person have had enough. But I was worried when she became numb and too focused on running. She wasn't dealing with her own emotions and letting herself fall apart. I was hoping that she wouldn't go down a road that would destroy her. Too easily people turn to alcohol and drugs to ease the pain. But she's a tough nut and uses running instead. But still... It was quite interesting to hear from Jace's point of view and you do get to understand him a bit better. This book did not give a perfect ending, but I'm sure it will make more sense in Book 5.

    At this point, we should start to be wondering if Pepper should move on for good, leave Jace behind? I'm really curious how she gets through this and see how she grows in the next book. Sometimes it's about the journey, not the end goal. With Pepper, it's all about the journey, the mountains and the valleys. The highs and lows. And how you get through it all, better than ever.

    Love this series but this one has left me confused. I was excited for Jaces p.o.v but it didn't make sense. It was insightful but there was no reasoning for his crappy attitude towards Pepper. I get the reasoning I hope it comes to a good finish in the next one. Pepper deserves better.
