Kimberley Woodhouse is a GREAT Author and I have read many of her books. Bridge of Gold is Book 3 in the Doors to the Past series. The Doors to the Past series is 6 books written by 6 different authors. The series consists of historical stories of romance and adventure.
Kayla Richardson is an Underwater archaeologist. She receives a call that her help is needed at the Golden Gate Bridge, where two human remains from the late 1800s and the 1930s, were found during repairs being made. Steven Michaels, is in charge of the Repairs and Restorations being made to the Golden Gate Bridge. Kayla and Steven begin working together, and forming a friendship, to figure out the mystery and history behind the found human remains. The pair continue working together and they discover Gold that dates back to the Gold Rush Era. The story is also about a couple from 1933, Margo Hunley and Luke Moreau. Luke was a part of the diving team that helped build the Golden Gate Bridge. Kayla and Steven are wondering if the Gold they have found is now causing complications in their research. Are Kayla and Steven in danger because of the Gold? Does Kayla solve the Mystery of the 2 human remains that were found? Will Steven and Kayla have more then a friendship?
I really enjoyed this book. The storyline is interesting as it is a Time Slip storyline. Time Slip stories are liking reading a book in current times and all of sudden jumping into a time machine to go back in history. The storyline of the main characters of this book, Kayla and Steven, was more understandable then the story of Margo and Luke. Kayla and Steven work together great and have a respect for one another. I really like that the book is very faith filled and the characters rely on God for wisdom in solving the mystery they have at hand. The Historical timeline , Gold Rush Era,really made the book interesting. GREAT READ!

More from Kimberley
BRIDGE OF GOLD was a blast for me to write. Not only do I love writing dual-timeline stories, but the present-day hero and heroine are named after my daughter and her husband. Steven and Kayla in the book are fictitious, but there are a few things in the book that do mimic their real-life namesakes.
One of them is food.
My son-in-law Steven in real life is six-foot-four and active military. The man can eat. It’s amazing to me how many calories it takes just for him to survive! Then there’s my daughter, Kayla. She was an elite swimmer for many years along with her brother. I could never keep them fed when they were at the height of their swimming careers. In fact, I joked that all I did was cook and load the dishwasher during those years.
To celebrate the release of BRIDGE OF GOLD, I’m going to give out a recipe that I created almost thirty years ago. It went through many revisions the first few months as I perfected it and now you get a special treat because I do not give this recipe out. In fact, one of my dearest friends begged for it when our kids were little. I gave in but made her promise to close her eyes while she made it (LOL) and to never, ever give it to anyone else.
Enjoy! And thanks for joining us on the tour for BRIDGE OF GOLD. I hope you love it.
Kim’s Chocolate Chunk Cookies – recipe by Kimberley Woodhouse
2 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. kosher salt
¾ cup melted/browned butter (this is important! Don’t skip this step)
2 Tb. Hot chocolate mix
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 – 12 ounce package mega morsels (I use Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips)
Directions: combine the first three dry ingredients and mix well. In a small saucepan on the stove, melt and brown the butter. Medium heat is recommended but you’ve got to watch it so it doesn’t burn. You want a beautiful caramel color. Set aside and allow to cool to around 100 degrees F before continuing. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Once the browned butter is cool, add the hot chocolate mix to it. Transfer to a stand mixer and blend the butter mixture with the sugar. Whip it until well combined and frothy about 2 mins. Gradually add eggs and flour mixture, beating on low just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Using a cookie scoop, drop heaping TB scoops 2 inches apart on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake at 325 degrees for 12-14 minutes, watching carefully. Allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to cooling racks. Enjoy!
