Still dealing with that not quite so “happy ending”
Breaking Rules is the second book in The Scottish Billionaire continuing story of Alec and Lumen. Alec now has Evanne after Keli left her with him. He is starting to get the hang of being an actual Dad instead of a weekend sitter. Lumen is Evanne’s teacher and she is sweet, loving and caring towards them both. But when Keli pops her evil head back up wanting a second chance, “for the sake of Evanne”, it seems like Alec is going to take a huge step backwards leaving Lumen out in the cold. But things start happening once Keli comes back and not in the good way. Add in the fact that Lumen is having issues at the school after a rumor started that her very legitimate massage therapist job offered a “happy ending” to their customers. Poor Lumen is fighting it on all fronts it seems in this part as there is a lot going on which affects her and which she does not have control over.
The story continuation is nicely handled even with Keli’s popping back up into Alec’s life. He should have known right from the start that he could not trust her as far he could throw her. On to the third part of the story to see what happens next and whether Alec, Lumen and Evanne get their great big HEA.
Great chemistry between Alec and Lumen
A man torn between the woman he wants a future with and the ex who is the mother of his daughter. Lumen is everything he sees in a future wife. But, his daughter must be his main priority. Providing a stable family environment for her. Lumen should be every man’s dream. However, she is Alec’s dream. He tends to make it hard to make a decision and always seems torn. He needs to man up and follow his heart. Then his daughter will have the stability she needs, his ex will be gone from his life, except where their daughter is concerned; and finally he will be with the woman of his dreams, Lumen. Following their journey can be frustrating at times, but the ending will make up for it

I really enjoyed the story of Alec and Lumen’s relationship. They had it all in the palm of their hands and then it went south quickly. Alec has his ex come back into town and wants to put the family back together. Alec basically blows Lumen off to fix his family. The principal of the school Lumen teaches at finds out she used to work in a massage parlor. Lumen is done with Alec and his cruel indifference. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

Breaking Rules by M. S. Parker is book Two in the Scottish Billionaire series. This continues the story of Alec McCrae and Lumen Browne, so you should read the previous book ‘Off Limits’ before starting this one. Alec wants Lumen but he also wants to make his daughter happy…is that getting back with her mother to make a family? Alec takes a break from Lumen to figure things. But Lumen has been hurt in the past and now it seems that maybe she trusted Alec to quickly. This book doesn’t finish their story but sets us up for the next installment in the book called ‘Mending Fate’.
When taking this ARC from Booksprout, I thought I was getting a second book in a series about Scottish Billionaires, PLURAL. Each book about a different billionaire and the woman he loves. So here I am reading the second book in a continuing series about his daughter’s school teacher Lumen Browne and Scottish billionaire Alec McCrae. After a violent scare, Alex and his daughter Evanne make a trip to visit his parents and to get his head straight about his feelings for Lumen. His ex shows up wanting a second chance for the sake of their daughter and problems start. The book was well paced and these 2 have great chemistry. I know if I had read the first book, this would have been a more enjoyable read, but I liked this book well enough to go back and get book 1 with my KU Subscription and read for free.

M.S. Parker did a great job on Breaking Rules, the plot was written well. Lumen and Alec were strong charcaters.
Alec and Lumen’s jounrey had many ups and downs, any things trying to get in the way. They were good for each othe rthough, their connection, the chemistry was strong. They were good together.
I’m looking forward to reading more.
Thank you, M.S. Parker. Great work 🙂
This is the second book in The Scottish Billionaire series. Alec and Lumen’s story continues but we are introduced to a few more road blocks first. What does a billionaire CEO and a third grade teacher have in common? One would not think not much but these two are definitely attracted to one another. It is not just Alec and Lumen, Alec’s daughter comes first for everything he does. Is misery worth giving his daughter what she wants most, her family back? A great story that continues to build and challenge our characters as well as keeps drawing them together. Fate is at work here but she is taking her time to wind these two together. Enjoy!

I started with book 2 of the series. I’m not sure if book 1 would have answered some lingering questions.The characters are interesting, especially the daughter. I appreciate how important the family dynamics are and I expect that book 3 will be no different. I am hoping book 3 is published quickly as I want to know what happens.i enjoyed the cultural references as well as the background information provided about the main characters.

This is another great installment in which we continue the story of Alec and Lumen. My goodness what twists and turns in this story.

This series is all steam and frustrations between Alec and Lumen!

After an incident at Evanne’s school, Alec heads to Scotland to visit his family for the week leaving Lumen wondering where she stands. But even across the pond, the steam off Alec and Lumen is combustible. When Evanne’s mother joins him in Scotland wanting to change their situation, Alec lets Lumen drift to the side while he thinks about what’s best for Evanne. What will Alec decide? What is best for him or what’s best for Evanne? You have to read to find out and will be eagerly looking for Mending Fate’s release!
