{ about london miller } .
With a degree in Creative Writing, London Miller has turned pen to paper, creating riveting fictional worlds where the bad guys are sometimes the good guys. Her debut novel, In the Beginning, is the first in the Volkov Bratva Series. She currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and two puppies, where she drinks far too much Sprite, and spends her nights writing.
{ excerpt } .
Her apartment was only a few blocks down from Canal Station, but in the time it had taken her to get ready, clouds had rolled in, obscuring the once beautiful sky. Just as quickly as that thought formed, the first few droplets of rain splattered her face, and before she knew it, the skies were opening up.She ran the last block, glad that she hadn’t gotten too wet in her dash down the street, otherwise she would have looked like she was competing in a wet T-shirt contest. Heading down into the station, she swiped her metro card, walking through the cage-like turnstile. Her train was already boarding, and as she hurried across the platform, she could hear the beeps, the red lights flashing, signaling the doors were closing.
Before she even had a chance to curse her bad timing, a rather large hand reached out, snagging one of her belt loops and tugged her in, seconds before the doors closed at her back.
She stumbled as the train started to move, her Docs squeaking with the movement. Reaching her hands out, she tried righting herself without knocking the guy over that helped her, not that she could, she soon realized. He seemed to be made of stone.
Prepared to thank him—or thank his chest since that was what was directly in front of her face—the moment she tilted her head up to get a better look at him, her breath caught.
Not just because he was attractive, he was definitely that, but because he looked so familiar. It wasn’t because of Rob—Rob was very selective about the circles he ran in. Those were the same circles she had tried so desperately to fit in, but he would never associate with someone so … scruffy.
And this stranger was definitely that.
His eyes were a perfect blend of greens and yellows, flecks of silver near the pupils, brightening them to an even lighter shade of green. How eyes that pale could seem warm, she didn’t know, but they were. He also had a full beard, one that was a deep auburn, a few shades lighter than his darker hair.
Amber realized, almost belatedly, that she was still pressed against him, her hands resting on the firm planes of his stomach, and even if the train wasn’t so crowded, there was still enough space for her to stand on her own.
But she kind of liked where she was.
Even with the shirt around her waist, she could still feel the heat of his palm on the small of her back.
Dropping her hands, she moved back a little. “Thanks.”
His smile was easy, friendly, even as his eyes blatantly swept over her. “No bother at all.”
She couldn’t withhold her smile even if she wanted to. His accent was a dream to hear. It was lilting, and had an almost smoky quality to it.
Irish. He was definitely Irish.

I have to be completely honest--
The only reason why I wanted to read this book was because I wanted to see London Miller's writing style. I've read her teamed up with Bethany-Kris, and loved that writing duo, but I needed to know where BK ended and London Miller started.
I have to say, I'm not at all surprised to learn that I loved Ms. Miller's writing on her own.
Celt was a book with incredible feels. You are will be immediately gripped with the prologue, only to be whip-lashed into a scene that is so incredibly different from the prologue. You have art dealer, seemingly super sweet (even if she did end up in bed with the ex), Amber, and the man for hire, who's boss goes by Kingman, Kyrnon.
I truly enjoyed this story. I loved the suspense--and the angst of it continues on until pretty much the last page. So much so, I was almost afraid this was going to end on a cliffhanger! Not that I was going to complain, because I would have no problem reading more of these two but... So kudos, Ms. Miller, on your epic use of suspense in a story line arc. I loved how it grew to show the protective side Kyrnon had for Amber. I will definitely be looking to Ms. Miller for more books from here on out!
