Cora Rhodes
My new neighbor is the worst.
When they say to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, I don’t think they meant that literally, as in next door neighbor close. However, here we are and after our horrible and unfortunate introduction, there’s only one solution . . . to declare war. It’s his side of the mountain versus mine. It doesn’t matter that my new neighbor is ridiculously handsome, because his personality is lacking. He’s rude, arrogant, and condescending, and regardless of how hard he tries, no one is going to get in my way or push me out. I need this more than anyone knows, because sometimes what people forget or choose to overlook, is not all that glitters is gold.
Briggs Warren
My new neighbor has got to go.
After purchasing Red Barn Orchard five years ago, I know a thing or two about living on the mountain. I also know that this is no place for a rich, New York City socialite who also happens to be a music superstar. If she wanted a vacation home, she should have chosen one on the lake in Horizons Valley, not here, where there’s no one around. No one except me that is. I don’t need this, I definitely don’t need her, and based on the prank she’s pulled, we’ve declared war. The problem is, I find her stunningly beautiful, witty, funny, and when she plays her cello and the music floats across the mountain, it feels like she’s speaking to my soul. Is it possible to love the thing you hate, or should I say person, because as the months pass and summer turns into fall, this game we’re playing, I’m starting to think winning might mean less about her leaving and more about something different after all.
Gold Horizons is a standalone story in the small town series, Horizons Valley. If you love city girl moves to a small town, next door neighbors, endless pranks, enemies to friends to lovers, and grumpy sunshine, then you’re going to love Briggs and Cora’s story.

Gold Horizons is the story of two seemingly opposite people going from enemies to friends to lovers to something so much more as they realize that the one person who drives them utterly crazy, might just be the one person they’ve always needed.
This is a story of two people connecting on such a real and honest level that will touch every part of their hearts and yours. It’s a story of two people seeing each other, and I mean really seeing each other, in the most raw and true way. This is a story of two dynamic characters peeling back each other’s layers to discover their vulnerabilities, and not only loving what they find, but basking in what they give one another. This is a story of two people pushing every button the other one has and loving every memorable, effervescent, and vibrant moment of it. This is a story of two people falling for one another in the most real, heartfelt, and true way that will melt and own your heart from start to finish.
Suffice to say, I loved everything about Gold Horizons and what I got with Cora and Briggs.
Those two are truly the best. And trust me when I say that those two are something very special. From the very first words of their story, I was hooked. I was hooked on them, their fiery and vibrant connection, and everything they made each other feel. I was also exponentially hooked on the way those two managed to push every button they both had, the glorious banter they shared, all while simultaneously driving each other crazy and breaking down every wall they had carefully constructed around themselves in the best way. Simply put, I was hooked on them and everything they shared.
These two have the most memorable first meeting, and the sparks just keep flying from there with every turn of the page in this incredible book. Kathryn Andrews carefully and thoughtfully crafts their story in a way that allows you to connect with them, allows you to feel and live and experience it all with them, and in a way that just sears you to them in a way that you will be rooting for them both through it all. There is just something truly special about Brooks, Cora, and what they share together and make each other feel. It feels right. It feels beautiful. It feels like exactly what both of them need. It feels like more…and that more with them is everything.
What I loved about Gold Horizons, and what I love about every book by Kathryn Andrews, is that she just allows you to connect so deeply and truly to Brooks and Cora and every character she creates. She just lets you see them, get them, and understand them in every way. She makes you believe in them and want every good thing for them. She invests you in them and all that could be. She allows you through her writing to connect to them in such a real and genuine way, and that makes reading their story everything to experience. It just makes everything more memorable, more beautiful, and just more enjoyable because you’re not just reading the book and seeing the characters end up where they do, you’re living the story with them and feeling every bit of their journey to one another…and it’s just the best.
Cora Rhodes is a gem of a character. She is fierce. She is independent. She is remarkable in so many ways. She has a heart of gold and is looking for her happy place where she can truly be herself. She is a woman who is beautiful inside and out in every way. What I loved about her character was that she was just so genuinely good. I also just loved that she was easy to relate to because like many of us, she too was just trying to find her place in the world and make sense of a very complicated relationship with her family and life. She might be a well known musician, she may come from very wealthy society, but at the end of the day she is a very real person just trying to figure out who she really is, who she wants to be, and who is deserving of being in her life and her heart. I just loved her, fiercely, unequivocally, and in every way possible. She is truly the best, and getting to connect with her over the course of the story was absolutely phenomenal.
Now Briggs Warren might have stolen my heart from the very first moment his grumpy self made a seriously memorable appearance on the pages of Gold Horizons. That man is the definition of a grumpy mountain man who has a lot of layers and a whole lot of love to give under his somewhat gruff exterior. He is determined and very very stubborn. He is also a genuinely good guy who would do anything for those he cares about and his small town that he calls home. That man may come off grumpy and a touch (aka a lot!) hard headed, but he is also fierce in his feelings and cares with his whole heart. What I loved about Briggs is that he was so dynamic and headstrong, but underneath those layers he was also so vulnerable and had experienced his own struggles. I loved getting the chance to peel back each layer, along with Cora, while reading this story. I also just loved getting to love him. That man is wonderful and I can totally understand why Cora wants to simultaneously slap him silly and climb him like a tree.
Trust me when I say that you will love Cora and Briggs and everything they so unforgettably give you in Gold Horizons.
Those two definitely make each other, and you, work for it, but in the absolute best way. They exemplify the idea that the one who drives you the most crazy, might just be the exact person you need to heal your heart and give you everything you didn’t think was possible. Those two work hard in this book and in their journey together to trust each other and themselves, to put the past officially in the past and break away from the expectations that try to hold them down, and to find a way to open their hearts to the possibilities of what could be. They do all of this and more while sweeping you and your heart off your feet, as they push each other’s buttons, as they feel their fierce and fiery connection to one another, and as they fall oh so hard for each other.
Gold Horizons is truly one of the best romances I have read this year. It has it all and more. It was romantic. It was funny. It was fiery and full of so much connection. It was memorable and consuming. It was small town romance goodness with such dynamic and memorable characters. It was just a story that I could not put down, that I loved every single word of, and that I just loved reading and experiencing.
This book was everything and more, and Kathryn Andrews once again blew me away with what she delivered with these characters and their story.
Her writing is absolutely incredible and allows you to just fully live this story with Cora and Briggs. That writing is what has made me a fan of hers since her very first book released 10 years ago. She just has such a way with words, a way of allowing you to be in the moments she creates with her characters, and a way of enveloping you within the magic and beauty of what her characters are and what they share. Reading her words and experiencing what she so thoughtfully and beautifully weaves together in her books is something I truly look forward to and treasure. There is just something so special and memorable about what she creates and allows you to get with her stories and characters, and Gold Horizons was no different. In fact, I think this book is Kathryn Andrews at her best. This book and what she creates within it with Cora and Briggs is vibrant, effervescent, romantic, memorable, and just absolutely enjoyable in every way.
I truly could not have asked for more than what I got within this book and with Cora and Briggs.
Kathryn Andrews creates and delivers everything with the two of them in the most authentic and amazing way that I and my heart will not soon forget. She thoughtfully weaves together a story of enemies, friends, a very special mountain location, pranks, love, and all the possibilities that can come from taking a chance with the one person who drives you just a bit, or a lot, crazy. She does all of that and more in this phenomenal book. She leaves all the heart and emotion on the pages of this book with these characters, and I truly could not have asked for a better conclusion to my time in Horizons Valley. This place and the people who live and fall in love there are truly something special, and you will feel that in this book, and in every other book of this series.
Trust me.
This book, this entire series, and all of these very special characters will own your heart from the very first moment you meet them, and you will love every bit of what you get with them. You journey with them, you feel and live it all with them, you root for them with your whole heart, you believe in them, and in the end, I promise you will not be disappointed with what they so beautifully give you. Not one little bit.
Trust me when I say that this whole series, but especially this book and Cora and Briggs, will give you it all. Those two will have you believing in the magic, possibilities, and beauty of taking a chance on the one person you didn’t even know you needed and the one person who makes you feel everything. And getting that with them along with everything else in their incredible story? Well that is truly the best in every way possible.
