Pepped Up Forever (Pepper Jones #5) by Ali Dean
Released September 29, 2015
Spoiler Free by Meagan
This is the fifth and final book in the Pepper Jones series, and it’s one you don’t want to miss.
Pepper Jones is ready to start breaking some records. She’ll be a junior in college, and if she wants to run professionally when she graduates, it’s time to step things up a notch. This time around, she knows it won’t be accomplished by ramping up her training. While Pepper’s hoping for a race day breakthrough, she wonders if there’s a mental barrier holding her back, and if so, how is she supposed to confront it?
Meanwhile, Jace Wilder wants Pepper back any way he can have her, but he’s reluctant to bulldoze his way into her life having already crushed her once (okay, probably a few more times than that) before. More scenes from Jace’s point of view in the book shed a new perspective into the character Pepper fans love to hate, and hate to love, delving into those layers he’s only given glimpses of in the past.
The Brockton crew is growing up. Zoe and Wes. Jenny and Rollie. Lexi and Brax. Bunny and Wallace. Pepper and ??? It’s time to find out what Pepper’s happily ever after will be

With the Pepper Jones series being one of my all time favorites I was really sad to know this would be the final book, especially after the way Pep Talks ended and if you haven't read that book I definitely suggest you do or you will be thoroughly confused when you try to read this book. Going back into this series was definitely difficult, I did not want this series to end and for that reason alone I put off reading this one for over a month. When I finally picked it up to read it I was instantly hooked and didn't want to put my kindle down for anything, but at the same time I wanted to draw it out for as long as possible.
When you first dive back into the world of Pepper and Jace, things are very different from the first book. For starters Jace broke Peppers heart in Pep Talks and now she's moving on from that heart break. The only thing is, Jace wants her back he just doesn't know how to win back her trust and show her that he wont crush her again.
Like any other strong female character, and real life females, Pepper wants Jace to know she doesn't need him, no matter how hard that is. When they start to become friends again and the attraction is back full force, it's hard to deny everything that both Pepper and Jace feel. One of my favorite things about this book is that we see more inside of Jace's head than we did in Pep Talks. If you have already read this amazing book then you know what is going on inside Jace's mind.
When evidence of Jace's unfaithfulness shows up, Pepper completely pushes him back out of her life. But lucky for us Jace does not know how to give up. At least this time he doesn't.
What will happen to Pepper and Jace? What happens to Peppers running career? What about the rest of the gang? Bunny and Wallace are hiliarious as ever, will Wallace pop the question? Would Bunny say yes? What about Wes? Does he love Zoe? How are Jenny and Rollie getting along with that long distance relationship?
These are all questions that are answered while reading the book. Peppers friends have her back with everything else, do they have her back when it comes to her crumbled relationship with Jace?
I've said it before in previous reviews, Ali Dean knows how to keep me on my toes. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next now that this series is closed out. Although I definitely wouldn't mind a little novella of Pepper and the gang in the future. Hint hint. ;)
