This was the first book I read by Catherine Noon and Rachel Wilder and it won't be my last from this talented team. It was also the first time I read a book with these fantasy elements, and my first M/M story and thoroughly enjoyed it.Emerald Fire captures the essence of the time period (1840's Gold Rush) in California and the reader is transplanted into the dangerous wold, filled with harsh weather, villains and dangerous animals.The world building was written in a realistic manner, and the authors' description of the setting and characters drew me into the story from the beginning until the end. I was able to picture the scenes unfolding and feel the genuine emotions of each of the characters. Teeka and Quill's differences complimented each other and their relationship was well developed at a good pace.The book has mystery, intrigue, fantasy, love, an extremely well written new world.It's refreshing to be introduced to and read a unique plot with different twists that will keep you captivated until the very end.
