Gold Digger, by Rebecca Rosenberg, is a story of life's ups ajd downs  Wealth, penniless, happiness, sadness, trust, betrayal, strength, and weakness, it's all there. It's a story of the heartache that accompanies a marriage based on riches and not on love. It's about finding your soulmate and everlasting love.
I enjoyed the characters and setting of Gold Digger and am excited to read the sequal due out in 2020.

This story is very descriptive and informative. Learning about this period of time in Colorado’s history, about the Tabors, and about the early days of our economy - gold and silver mining - was interesting to me. Definitely a different and difficult time to live but pursuing the “ American dream” and happiness despite many obstacles is timeless. 3.5 stars

Baby Doe Tabor is a woman whose strong character has made her talk of the town, both during her time and now.  She may have first married for the potential opportunities that would come with her new last name, but, little did she know, the real opportunity it gave her was to travel to mining territory, where she would eventually find the true love of her life.  
The story of Baby Doe highlights how women during her time were objectified or thought of a merely a servant for the husband, expected to cook, clean, maintain the household, and warm the marriage bed, but not much more.  Baby Doe was a woman who wanted more; she wanted to work the claim alongside her husband, and be an integral part of the business prospects.  She was definitely a strong female character, especially for the 1800’s and early 1900’s.
Thought of as being a “gold digger” by many people during her lifetime, this book, as well as several others that have been written about her, describes  her love and dedication towards Horace Tabor and not his money, during his time on Earth and afterwards.  Her love for Horace stood the test of time, through good and bad times, richer and poorer.  
Rebecca Rosenberg has done a fine job with pacing in this novel.  I found it to be a quick, delightful read.

This book was an excellent recreation of history during the time of gold mining in Colorado in the 1800's.   The true story of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Tabor is told in this wonderful historical novel.  Without giving the story away, this book takes place in  during the Gilded Age and explores Lizzie's life in great detail from rags to riches.  You won't be disappointed.

I found it took me some time to get into this story...however, that being said, I did settle down and enjoy this story of a strong woman during a difficult time period.   Very inspiring ..

The story of Baby Doe Tabor is far too often overshadowed by that other plucky, famous Colorado rags-to-riches heroine, Molly Brown. It's wonderful to see Baby Doe get the treatment she so richly deserves in this novel. Rosenberg writes in a style that instantly draws you in, making you feel like you're part of the story.. I'm already looking forward to the sequel, due later this fall!

Rebecca Rosenberg has done it again!  I was intrigued by the entire book.  It held my attention and wanting more.  Can't wait to see what's next.

I love historical fiction!!  This book is set in the 1900's at the time when gold digging was booming. I loved Baby Doe and that she was a character who knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves historical fiction

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me a chance to read, "Gold Digger" by Rebecca Rosenberg. Gold Digger centers around Baby Doe Tabor, a young woman who moves with her husband to Colorado. His family owns a mine whose gold could save her family from ruin. Along the way, Baby Doe Tabor goes through both hardships and triumphs. A truly memorizing character! I am looking forward to the sequel.

This book was really unique. I loved the historical details. This era is not often written about so I found it really interesting

Thank you NetGalley, Lion Heart Publishing, and IBPA for allowing me access to Gold Digger by Rebecca Rosenberg.  The following review is freely given, and all opinions are entirely my own.

Gold Digger tells the story of Babe Doe Tabor as she navigates the untamed Colorado landscape.  Based on her real-life, this story packs a nice surprise in its writing.  I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is!  Definitely a 2019 favorite for me.

This book is amazing! This is a review in progress, I have not yet finished the book but wanted to share my thoughts. The history and story behind this look is so life like. The descriptions of the characters, the moments in time, the places the characters are traveling! I just cant put the book down. 

I love the way the author describes the time setting within the story to pull you in as you are there! 

I cant wait to post a full review once I have finished the book! If you have not read this, you need to pick it up ASAP!

I loved reading about this feisty woman, but it took about half the book for me to really get into the story. Many of the characters felt flat, which was especially noticeable when Baby's first husband cheated on her with a whore after moving back in with his parents. I really enjoyed the details about mining and Colorado during the gold rush years, and I will probably read the sequel, but I was expecting a bit more from Ms. Rosenberg after The Secret Life of Mrs. London.

I never knew the story of Baby Doe but this book made me enjoy learning about her.  I appreciate the research  and details incorporated into the story. 
Many thanks to Lion Heart Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Elizabeth McCourt Tabor better known as Baby Doe was a woman who came from poverty. She married Harvey Doe but later divorced him for a variety of reasons including not providing a living and abandonment. She was from Oshkosh, Wisconsin but moved with Harvey to Leadville Colorado.
She met Horace Tabor, mining millionaire, and owner of Leadville's Matchless Mine. They fell in love and Horace tried to divorce his wife, Augusta of 25 years who denied him the divorce. He obtained a divorce in a different jurisdiction and married Baby Doe but was it legal? Because of their dalliance, divorces and subsequent marriage they were shunned by society.
They had two children but Baby Doe, still shunned by society but still donated money to charities. The Tabor's were rich in silver and with the repeal of the Silver Act, Horace lost his fortune and had to take a job as postmaster in Denver in 1898. Baby Doe eventually had to take menial jobs to survive and eventually died supposedly as a 'madwoman'.
I had read in the past a bit about Baby Doe and Horace and found the story fascinating. A story of a woman who goes from rags to riches and back to rags again. A strong woman who takes on her role as a woman who would work in the mines, as a homewrecker by falling in love with a married man and being called a gold digger. She is a legend among the women of the mining west. I always love reading a story of strong women and I read this book in two sittings. Fascinating story, I think if you love a fast-paced, character-driven, based on real people, then go get a copy of this book! I highly recommend it!

I enjoyed this intriguing story of Baby Doe Tabor and Henry Doe, as they head to Colorado to manage a gold mine. Baby Doe was a strong,, inspirational woman, and I loved this love story. I haven’t read many western historical fiction novels, but really liked this one!

"From the moment I met you, I knew we were two of a kind. You’ve lived through things that crush most folks. Yet, you’ve come out stronger, showing a brave and beautiful face with each new challenge."

Baby Doe has countless admirers, but a single true love. The roller coaster of a life based on Elizabeth McCourt Doe (Baby Doe Tabor) encompasses what I consider to be enjoyable and readable historical fiction. I was drawn to this title as I was curious about the era and subject matter, and was delighted with my choice. Rebecca Rosenberg brings to life the Colorado mining communities in the late 1800's with a well-researched plot, and a satisfying ending.

It should come as no surprise that Oscar Wilde (in a brief and entertaining appearance) has some of the best one-liners in the novel: "I don’t know that women are always rewarded for being charming... I think they’re usually punished for it.”

After turning the last page, I immediately went to the author's website, appropriately bannered: "Historical Novels Celebrating Glorious Women of the Past", and look forward to adding to my TBR pile!

Enjoyed this book. Kept me interested all the way through. Would recommend to a fellow reader.  Love the cover.

There’s a lovely pun in the title, as the story begins in the silver and gold mines of the old West and follows the fortunes of the determined Elizabeth McCourt Doe as she transmogrifies into Baby Doe Tabor. The story is told from multiple viewpoints, but Lizzie is definitely the star. The novel is based on fact, as the author tells us in the Afterword and has a gritty, no nonsense feel to it, though much of what happens to the characters appears unbelievably lucky, but truth is always stranger than fiction and fortune favors the bold. I loved the feel of mixed history and story, the immersion into the time and place. The dramatic rise and fall of fortunes make this a page-turner and a fascinating glimpse into the not-to-distant past with characters both true to and larger than life.

The GoldDigger by Rebecca Fisher Rosenberg is an very interesting historical novel set during the days of Colorado’s mining for silver.  The GoldDigger, as she is know.by many in Colorado, is named Baby Doe.  She has come to Colorado with her new husband hoping for riches in a specific mine that has been purchased by her father-in-law.  Her husband unsuccessfully works in the mine and then abandons his wife to go back to his mother’s house to assist her.  He, in essence, abandons his wife.  She is left alone to fend for herself.  Her life and romance fill the story not only with a background in history but also a tale of unrequited love .   The novel is well written and explores many different themes all nicely woven into one story.  You will not be disappointed reading The GoldDigger.  I received this novel from the publisher and netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
