Necee’s take:~

“Too many pieces to the puzzle were missing…”

In this multilayered split time novel, the mysteries could prove dangerous. As history seems to be repeating itself, divers lives are put at risk by working on the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. The history in the conquest for California gold and the mysterious abandoned ships made for a great mystery. Seeing the life of an archaeological diver was super interesting, too. Kayla was very personable and engaging. I loved seeing through the eyes of early and modern divers.

“As the sea engulfed her, she closed her eyes for a moment and pushed everything aside. She needed to get rid of all the noise. God hadn’t given her a spirit of fear. But He’d given her a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.”

This book is full of choices and the paths those choices lead you down. Whether right or wrong it was interesting seeing what happened when people choose good versus evil and vice versa. I was really engaged watching couples learned to trust in God’s plans throughout the generations, too. The romance was sweet and the adventures they had really made me want to visit San Francisco for myself. I really loved both the couples portrayed in “Bridge of Gold.” It was totally romantic, while providing a great educational mystery too. Totally engaging and kept my curiosity from start to finish. I loved it!

“Certain moments in life define a person. Moments that invoke physical feelings that can’t be described. That flood the heart and soul with more emotions than could possibly be fathomed.”

I was given a copy of this book through NetGalley Shelf by the publisher. All opinions are my own and have been given honestly.
