Alec: Lumen is amazing. She brings out the playful, relaxed side of me, but fate doesn’t seem to agree we belong together. And now, my ex pops back into my life and wants to make a go of it again so our daughter can have a real family. I’m torn between what’s best for my daughter or following my feelings for Lumen.Lumen: Just when our relationship was going great, Alec basically blows me off the … me off the minute his ex is back in town. He texted that he needs a break while he figures out what’s going on with his family. And to add fuel to the fire, someone told my principal about the massage parlor job I had before I started teaching, like it was something illegal. Who else knew about that job but Alec? I’m crushed. This is why I don’t do relationships.
Third-grade teacher Lumen Browne and multi-billionaire CEO Alec McCrae are an unlikely couple, but they’re willing to defy the odds. As they struggle to fit into each other’s lives, they must decide if they’re willing to fight for their love…or walk away.

I loved Breaking Rules, part two in the Scottish Billionaire Series by M.S. Parker. Part two picks up where part one left off and we have Lumen and Alec still craving each other. But an incident at his daughter’s school brings Kelly, Alec’s ex back into the picture. Kelly wants another chance at being a family but Alec is torn. Who does he choose? His daughter has to be his priority but is he willing to sacrifice the first woman he has really cared about? When Alec tells her they need a break while he figures things out, Lumen is hurt but she refuses to let Alec know how hurt she is. She is also still dealing with her obnoxious Vice President at the school constantly flirting with her. When she thinks Alec betrays her, she remembers why she cannot risk her heart. To be continued. Looking forward to more!
I loved this 2nd book to this series it was so good! Poor Lumen, just when she and Alec are getting to be comfortable in their relationship in swoops Alec’s daughter bio mom who abandoned her with Alec when she was a baby saying she messed up and wants to try to be a family for their daughter and on top of that Lumen is having work issues as well. Talk about when it rains it pours. This book had me crying at parts, yelling at my kindle at parts and basically feeling every human emotion we have. Well done! Cannot wait till next one!

This is the second book in The Scottish Billionaire series by M.S. Parker which begins with Alec and Lumen growing closer to each other until his ex reappears and wants a reconciliation. Alec feels he has to try to mend his relationship with Keli for the sake of his daughter. But what will happen to Lumen? I highly recommend this book and series and can hardly wait for the third book in the series.

This is the second book in the series and I do recommend reading them in order. Alec’s ex is back in the picture and wants to try again and make a real family with him and their daughter. What will that mean for Lumen? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense, steam and emotion. Great characters with lots of depth and an entertaining story. I liked it.
Breaking Rules
by Calypso
First off I wasn’t aware this was pt 2 of a trilogy or whatever. It was a series but many series have a different couple in each book. Parts of it didn’t make sense to me because I hadn’t read the first book. I liked Alec and Lumen with ex Keli thrown in to shake things up a little but there were too many places where I had to stop and think why they did or said something instead of being able to just go with the flow of the story. I don’t know why Alec’s brothers were added to the story unless they get books in the future. I would have rated it 4 stars if I had read the first story so I wouldn’t have so many whys to figure out. There is no HEA because you have to read the next book.

Another great story from the pen of M.S. Parker. I like this author’s writing style. Always full of emotions and honesty. And dazzling love scenes. The vulnerability she shows in this mighty mega-rich man is intense and realistic. And I like the way Alec puts his daughter before everything. I look forward to the last part

Lumen and Alec’s story continues. The chemistry between them is still sizzling and just as things are going well his ex comes back into the picture. Keli wants him back and uses their daughter as the excuse to be a happy family. She also makes trouble for Lumen at her school to drive a wedge between Lumen and Alec. Will Alec choose to do what’s best for his daughter or follow his heart? Can Lumen trust Alec since no one else knew about her job before she started teaching? I enjoyed this romance and look forward to the next one. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Will he make the right choice?
So, Keli is back, Alec’s baby mama from the prequel. Just when he’s getting serious with Lumen. It’s complicated.
Will he man up and make the better choice?
This is the 2nd installment in the Scottish billionnaire series. Keli has returned and is making trouble for lumen. What will Alec do?

No matter that this story is quite fine I cannot give it more than nice three stars. Had I known it was a continuing story I would NEVER have taken it on as an ARC. I simply hate this kind of stories so I refrain from them as the plague! In the Blurb it says this is a second story in this series but it is actually a third story as there is a prequel to the first… I assumed that each story was about a different sibling… But no. All about the same guy. Ok. The story is well written and the storyline and characters are fine. But please say how it is in the Blurb to avoid reviews such as this one…. If it is ever published as a box set. much better option. Sorry for how this is but I have to be honest.

I really like Alec and Lumen together, but I could beat Alec with a stick in this one! Lumen forgives him too easily. Keli would get beaten also, ugh! Poor Evanne is the one who pays the price for the back and forth. If Keli cared, she wouldn’t have put her daughter through that. Alec needed to just stop being so wishy washy and take a stand. Lumen was a good person and didn’t do anything spiteful despite being betrayed by those she thought cared about her. Can’t wait for the next book!

Alec and Lumen will warm your hearts in this delightful story. When he and his ex suggest that they try to be a family again it creates more problems than Alec can handle. Will he and Lumen be able to get back what they once had before Keli came back into Alec’s life?

Loved Lumen and Alec. What happens when Alec’s ex shows back up in town and they decide to try and work thinks out? God this book is so beautiful!
Okay, the prequel of this series, I was upset that Alec and Keli didn’t wind up together. In book 1, I was still a little sad about that, but fell in love with Lumen! Now, in this book, I can’t stand Keli! LOL
Just when Alec and Lumen are getting along, and getting serious about each other, here comes Keli wanting to be a “family”. UGH! Poor Lumen is crushed, but refuses to let on to Alec that it’s upsetting her that he wants to take a break.
These two have such chemistry and these wedges that keep happening have me yelling “Oh c’mon” at my kindle! LOL
Great story! I love Alec and Lumen together and hopefully soon they can get their happily ever after!
4.5 Breaking the rules Stars
Lumen and Alec are once again thrown a curveball when Keli shows up unannounced from Italy and someone is trying to ensure Lumen loses her job as a teacher at the school There’s a lot going on in Lumen and Alec’s lives and Ms Parker certainly knows how to make one feel on edge when reading as there were a few scenes I had knots in my stomachCan’t wait for the conclusion of their story

The continuation in the life of Alec McCrae as his confusion over his feelings for Lumen continued. He struggles daily like any single parent if he was being a good parent. As always work weighted heavily on his mind. Then there was a shooting at Evanne and Lumen’s school. Alec was terrified something might have happened to either one or both of them, but they both turn out to be fine. School cancelled several days for the investigation, so Alec and Evanne went to California, to Alec’s parents for several days. Where Keli, Evanne’s most mother shows all full of concern and planning to cause trouble between Alec and Lumen. Alec confessed deep secrets to Lumen, but he still has not admitted his love for her. You will find this book a real page turner, so you will not want to put it down until you finish.

Lumen is a third grade teacher who has a relationship the single billionaire dad Alec. Just when their relationship is going smoothly his ex shows up wanting to reconcile. Alec tells Lumen he needs some time to figure out what is best for his family. There is deceit going on and he did not treat Lumen very well but this is still a enjoyable book.
Breaking Rules: The Scottish Billionaire Series by M.S. Parker. Alex and Lumen are back in book 2 and give me even more reason to believe they really need to work through the hard parts to get to their HEA. This series is fast paced drama, that tugs on your heartstrings and makes you want to pull your hair out at the same time. I would recommend this book, series, and author to others.
