James has plans for the future but for that to happen he needs to prove his skills on the football field。 He finds himself not wanting to disappoint his father， who is also his coach， and proving to everyone else that he deserves to be there based on his talent and not on who he knows。 Staying focused is the key but Morgan is a complication he wasn’t expecting。Morgan was raised in an affluent lifestyle and has created quite the following on social media。 A tragic event has her taking a step back James has plans for the future but for that to happen he needs to prove his skills on the football field。 He finds himself not wanting to disappoint his father， who is also his coach， and proving to everyone else that he deserves to be there based on his talent and not on who he knows。 Staying focused is the key but Morgan is a complication he wasn’t expecting。Morgan was raised in an affluent lifestyle and has created quite the following on social media。 A tragic event has her taking a step back as she tries to deal with all that has happened and decide what the future holds。 She is struggling and she never expected that her biggest support system would be James。At first glance James and Morgan couldn’t be more different from their lifestyles or the challenges they are facing。 It was wonderful to see them open up their lives and hearts to each other and find the love and understanding they both deserve。 。。。more

What you see wasn't exactly what you got when it came to Morgan。 She had one heck of a tough shell， but it was easy to figure out why she was the way she was。 She wasn't some vapid girl whose only goal in life was to increase her views and followers on social media。 Yes， she was complex， but her needs and wants were pretty simple--to be seen for who she was and to be loved and accepted as Morgan， and not her last name or her online persona。 James was someone who didn't know Morgan before the acc What you see wasn't exactly what you got when it came to Morgan。 She had one heck of a tough shell， but it was easy to figure out why she was the way she was。 She wasn't some vapid girl whose only goal in life was to increase her views and followers on social media。 Yes， she was complex， but her needs and wants were pretty simple--to be seen for who she was and to be loved and accepted as Morgan， and not her last name or her online persona。 James was someone who didn't know Morgan before the accident that changed her and her closest friends。 I loved seeing these two grow and mature， making mistakes along the way but owning up to them。 Neither of them had picture perfect lives， but they realized what mattered most and made a stand。 Habit was a wonderfully angsty read that deserves every bit of its five stars， and it was a strong finish to this great series。 。。。more

4 stars！The third and final book in the Boys of Welles series， this is a mature YA forbidden-ish， opposites-attract， sports romance， and a gorgeous story about figuring yourself out and fighting to be who and where you want to be。 James and Morgan have had something going on in the background of the last two books， and I was so excited to finally get their story。 The timeline of this book is the same as the previous two books of the series， and I enjoyed the character crossover。 And while you co 4 stars！The third and final book in the Boys of Welles series， this is a mature YA forbidden-ish， opposites-attract， sports romance， and a gorgeous story about figuring yourself out and fighting to be who and where you want to be。 James and Morgan have had something going on in the background of the last two books， and I was so excited to finally get their story。 The timeline of this book is the same as the previous two books of the series， and I enjoyed the character crossover。 And while you could read this as a standalone， be aware that there are some minor spoilers。 Like the majority of students at exclusive Welles Academy， Morgan is from a wealthy family， but her home life is not a happy one。 Things got worse when she became a well-known influencer， and her father started using her fame for his own business purposes。 But since the death of one of her best friends， Morgan has retreated from the spotlight while she tries to figure out who she really is and what she wants from her life。 James is new to Welles， starting at the school when his Dad took on the role of football coach。 It’s a world away from pubic school， and James know he has to prove himself on the football field if he’s ever to be taken seriously。 He’s a damn good quarterback， but the inevitable rumours about favouritism have him out to prove himself so that he can get the scholarship he so desperately wants。 Football is his life。 Until Morgan comes along。 James and Morgan are attracted to each other from the very beginning。 It’s a crush at first， a fun flirtation， but it soon turns becomes so much more， they become each other’s ‘person’ – the one that they turn to， talk to， and lean on。 And they need that so much。 “My Dad sees you as a distraction。 I see you as a necessity。” Two kids who seemingly have it all， actually don’t， and they’re struggling。 Morgan’s life has been a constant battle for love and acceptance from her family。 They have let her down so many times， and when she finally reached out to somebody for help， it ended horribly。 And James is under tremendous pressure from his father to perform， and to focus on nothing but football， but he wants more。 But they have each other， they open up to each other， they become close， and they understand each other in a way that they both crave。 The romance is really sweet， and a little bit steamy， and I loved how they are there for each other。 Their relationship has some ups and downs， but they give each other strength that to stand up and fight for what they want， and I loved the character growth that we see for both of them as they fall hard for each other。 “I’m not just falling in love with you。 I love you”。 And I have learned that when you love someone you do things for that person， maybe irrational things。” This book didn’t have the emotional punch that the first two books in the series had， but it’s a great read， and I loved seeing James and Morgan get their happy ending。 I’ve really enjoyed this series。 Ginger Scott writes mature YA so well， and she really pulled out the dramatic feels with these books。 I’ve loved them all。 4 stars。 An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Well it seems that Ginger Scott saved the best for last with Habit。 A book that is touching and heartfelt as we get Morgan and James's story as the finale for this well-crafted trilogy。 Coming from vastly different worlds， the rich influencer and the hard-working new quarterback surely turn Welles Academy on it's proverbial ear as they find an attraction that could very well be each other's downfall。 But their chemistry can't be beat as they become the tether needed to beat back their inner doub Well it seems that Ginger Scott saved the best for last with Habit。 A book that is touching and heartfelt as we get Morgan and James's story as the finale for this well-crafted trilogy。 Coming from vastly different worlds， the rich influencer and the hard-working new quarterback surely turn Welles Academy on it's proverbial ear as they find an attraction that could very well be each other's downfall。 But their chemistry can't be beat as they become the tether needed to beat back their inner doubts once and for all。As I read the acknowledgements and author's notes， there is no question Scott put her all into this book and made it a bit more personal。 With a sweet poignancy as both James and Morgan struggle with rumors and nasty classmates， not to mention harsh family members， I couldn't help but feel a bit protective of this couple which only made my reading experience that much richer。Many of my lingering questions wrt what actually happened with Morgan and the former coach were answered and my heart broke for how she continues to have to navigate her complicated life alone。 James truly transferred to Welles at the right time， kismet or perhaps a guardian angel clearly playing a role in allowing these two to find love when they needed it most。Scott uses the same time-line and we get yet another view of what has happened since Anika left her crew's side。 I love how this tight knit group continues to be there for one another and that is never more evident than in this wonderful book。With the right amount of steam， humor and support， Habit is exactly what I needed to say goodbye to these incredible characters。 I'd like to think that Anika would be smiling huge getting to see her besties find the loves of their lives and you never know， maybe she had a hand in that very thing。 Turning the worst kind of trauma into the very best kind of love story， I happily give Habit a big 5 stars！ 。。。more

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌶🌶Morgan and James have such an incredible pull to each other。 I hadn't felt much connection with Morgan in the previous 2 books， but now getting her story 💔 my oh my。 Morgan is stronger than anyone gives her credit for， but James sees that。 James， he's struggling to make his dad proud and make a name for himself at this new school where things work so much differently just because of a name or money。 The two of them together ❤ I sped through this book so fast。 I have adored this series from 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌶🌶Morgan and James have such an incredible pull to each other。 I hadn't felt much connection with Morgan in the previous 2 books， but now getting her story 💔 my oh my。 Morgan is stronger than anyone gives her credit for， but James sees that。 James， he's struggling to make his dad proud and make a name for himself at this new school where things work so much differently just because of a name or money。 The two of them together ❤ I sped through this book so fast。 I have adored this series from the beginning， every character has made such incredible growth， but James and Morgan are probably my favorite。 。。。more

This is Book 3 in the Boys of Welles series。 It can be read as a standalone。 I did not read the others first， but I will definitely go back for them。 I really enjoyed this one。 James is the new star QB for Welles Academy。 He is the coaches son and has a lot to prove to his new team。 When he meets the school’s famous TikTok star， Morgan， there’s an immediate attraction on both sides。 At first， it’s all just physical， but they quickly begin to fall for one another。 James is fighting for his spot a This is Book 3 in the Boys of Welles series。 It can be read as a standalone。 I did not read the others first， but I will definitely go back for them。 I really enjoyed this one。 James is the new star QB for Welles Academy。 He is the coaches son and has a lot to prove to his new team。 When he meets the school’s famous TikTok star， Morgan， there’s an immediate attraction on both sides。 At first， it’s all just physical， but they quickly begin to fall for one another。 James is fighting for his spot at QB1， while Morgan struggles with the aftermath of a tragic accident; and they find comfort in trusting one another。 When their relationship is tested by unapproving family members and a particularly douchey teammate， they have to decide if their feelings for each other are worth the backlash。 This book wasn’t quite as spicy as some of the others I’ve read， but it was really sweet and had a lot of funny parts。 I definitely recommend it！ 。。。more

Oh man I have been itching to get Morgan and James story and Ginger Scott did not disappoint with this one！！ James and Morgan have such a complicated relationship and we see that throughout the first two books。 They come from very different backgrounds and both lead very different lives with very different dreams。 James Fuentes is the new quarterback at Welles fighting for the QB1 spot on the team and a scholarship at a prestigious university to put those dreams into action。 Morgan is a social m Oh man I have been itching to get Morgan and James story and Ginger Scott did not disappoint with this one！！ James and Morgan have such a complicated relationship and we see that throughout the first two books。 They come from very different backgrounds and both lead very different lives with very different dreams。 James Fuentes is the new quarterback at Welles fighting for the QB1 spot on the team and a scholarship at a prestigious university to put those dreams into action。 Morgan is a social media influencer just trying to get through they day， battling her inner demons and the constant rumors spread about her。 Morgan and James are the perfect image of the ups and downs of high school relationships。 Morgan is a perfect example of a misunderstood girl and that you truly shouldn’t believe every rumor your hear。 My heart broke for her and all that she’d gone through but also the fact that she had to go it alone， she had no one to talk to， no one with a shoulder to lean on except James。 But， James’s father views Morgan as a distraction someone who shouldn’t be involved with。 I loved James and his dedication to his family， but also his dedication to Morgan。 He refused to be another person that judged her based on other people’s opinions and that made him the perfect match for her in my eyes。 I loved James and Morgan together， they really brought out the best in one another and just shared the sweetest bond。 So sad to see this series ending。 Thank you to Ginger & Wordsmith Publicity for the ARC 。。。more
