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.

This is book 2 and you really need to read book 1 prior to this so that you know the characters and what is going on with them. This book continues with Lumen and Alec as they face more challenges that get in the way of their budding relationship. Lots going on that kept me happily and eagerly turning page after page. Waiting for book 3 now to see where we go from here.

Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. The story of Alec and Lumen. Alex a Multi Billionaire CEO. Lumen is a school teacher. I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and raw passion, strength, happiness and sensual feelings was a major turn on. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

Good 2nd part, and a lot of doubts
This is the continuation of the story between Lumen, the teacher with a complicated past but a big heart, and Alec, a billionaire who finds himself thrown into disarray when his daughter’s school is evacuated due to gunfire and the mother of his daughter returns when he has just accepted his relationship with Lumen.
For Lumen, nothing is simple between threats to her reputation, the attack on the school, the sexual harassment she suffered from her superior, and Alec who seems to neglect her for his ex.
This part is full of twists in the relation of Lumen and Alec, but it remains all the same pretty cute, in spite of the attacks which undergo the two heroes.

The second installment to the series continues Lumen and Alec’s story. The author once again does a great job bringing strong characters and their story to life with her detailed and descriptive writing. The chemistry is still there but they face some road blocks their way that will need to be dealt with even as emotions run high. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Alec’s life is once again thrown into a tailspin when his ex Keli is back in town! Lumen gives Alec the space he needs after he sends a text! Thankfully Alec pulls out of his indecisiveness and makes a decision regarding his love life!!! Can’t wait for the final book!

Interference
Alec and Lumen have seemingly found their groove and are very happy together, continually learning more about each other. That is until his ex, Keli reappears (I think purposely) putting things into a bit of a tailspin for him. She returns under the premise of wanting to reconcile, for the benefit of their daughter but I don’t trust her.
What will happen between Alec and Lumen? There are some tough decisions to make. Is their connection strong enough to endure all the troubles being caused by others? They both truly deserve to be happy.

My first thoughts about the second part of the story is how Lumen could be so level headed and put Alec and Evanne’s interests before her own even if it meant she would be left out? Lumen gets betrayed by Alec, Keli, Mrs. Crenshaw, the vice principal and the other gossips at school, yet keeps her head up, keeps her honest and true character throughout.
I was not very happy with Alec in this book. He was too indecisive, too impulsive at times, didn’t follow his heart, and didn’t treat Lumen right when he was deciding what was best for his family. I do love how he now knows he wants to be in daughter’s life more than he was when Keli had custody. It really is hot to see what a great dad he is.
Having said all that, I am so into this story that I eagerly await book 3. Alec will have time to redeem himself. Evanne will have Lumen in her life again.
I really wish this wasn’t a multi part story. It took me a few chapters to remember the people and their roles in the story and I don’t like to lose the momentum of the relationship being built.

I have read a few title by M S Parker, both ones l have bought, and other on KU. I was happy to see this as an Arc book and clicked. I started, but a few chapters in realised the characters had back story, that l didn’t have a clue about. So investigating found the prequel, free on KU, and the first book Off Limits, also a free book with Unlimited. So, reading both, we are introduced to Alec, a Scottish billionaire who is CEO for the family business in Seattle. He meets and impregnates Keli by mistake but offers to stand by and support his child, in the prequel. The 2nd book, jumps 8 years where Alec is still single and sharing parenting with Keli amicably, of their 8 yr old daughter, Evanne. He meets Lumen, and after various toe curling mistakes has a starting romance. At the end of the first book Alec ends up being totally responsible for child as Keli gives up all rights to run away with boyfriend to Italy. So, to this title, Breaking Rules. Alec is doing his best to be the best father to Evanne. Changing everything in his day to look after this child, his heart, he finds Lumen is now his daughter’s school teacher. The book follows both Alec and Lumen, bumps in the road include a shooting at school, a surly girl in care and the return of Keli … l will read the third book when it comes out in June. I have invested a lot of time in this love affair.

This book is a fast page turning read…..I couldn’t put it down and could have shed a tear when it said the end. I still don’t like Keli and at all and cheered for Lumen to get her man. Had angry thought about Alec a time or two but he finally pulled his head out of his ass in the head……ok M.S. Parker I need book three now!!

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 Book 2 of The Scottish Billionaire Series.
This is the continuing story of Alec & Lumen. Are they really meant to be together? They hit a lot of roadblocks along the way. The electricity between them is still off the charts. Although Alec’s daughter Evanne’s mother returns, she is manipulative and devious. She tries to get back together with Alec, and makes trouble for Lumen at the school she teaches at. Alec and Lumen are wonderful characters and are portrayed well through the writing of M.S. Parker. Let’s see what happens in the next book of this series. I can’t wait to read it.

Alex McCrea has a daughter 8 yrs old evanne who goes to Kurt Wright school and her teacher is lumen Browne who her father is also secretly dating . Alex is a man that has to figure out what he really wants . Awesome story
I loved the second book in the series. It is so full of drama that added so much to the story. Lumen was so incredibly sweet and strong. Alec was a bit of a jerk but shows his wonderful side once again. It is stunningly written with a superb flow to the story. It drew me in and didn’t let go until I reached the end. It is a story that has you rooting for them at the same time getting angry at the situations. It is a must read that doesn’t disappoint!!!!!!

Really enjoyed this
This is book 2 and although I read this as a standalone and there are references to book 1 so you can see where and how the story started, I do think I have missed out by not reading book 1 which I shall catch up on asap
I liked the characters and the story and am really looking forward to book 3

I enjoyed reading this book, so much happening from start to finish. The appearance of Evanne’s mum (Keli) after an incident at school really put the cat among the pigeons. Alec and Lumen’s relationship appeared to be on thin ice at one point due to some underhand actions take by Keli. Excellent story.

Lumen is hurt when Alec, seems to withdraw from their relationship and even more so when she finds out his ex is back in the country. Alec wants what is best for his daughter, and although she seems to bring out his best, he is not sure if it’s the best for his daughter. Will it be enough to break them apart? I enjoyed this installment of this series, although I found Alec to be a bit frustrating with his hot and cold attitude (I loved Lumen, she is so giving but still strong, and has dealt with the bad hand she has been dealt in life).
