The head of the bridge restoration is Steven Michaels, who dives with Kayla, and a friendship develops between them.

My Thoughts on Bridge of Gold

Bridge of Gold is a time-slip novel of historical and romantic suspense as you navigate two worlds and two relationships.   Both are tied together though as the present finds the past. 

In the present day, we have two divers who are working on the restoration of the Golden Gate Bridge.  In the past, we have two people one of whom is a diver working on the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. 

When our present-day divers find the remains of two people plus gold things start to get intense.  I loved getting to know all the main characters.  I really enjoyed the dual timelines and getting to see both the building and the restoration of the bridge.  

This book read quickly for me and I highly recommend you give it a read as well.  You’re going to love the author’s style and the characters.  Plus of course, you’ll love the storyline too.  Just make sure you leave room to start and finish the book in the same day!

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!
