The First in the Code of the West book series, this book is quite possibly my favorite.

It Your Misfortune and None of My Own Code of the West Book 1 Stephen A Bly 9780891077978 Books Reviews

I just about croaked when I saw this title had 5 star reviews.

I'll admit the story started out okay but the writing got worse and worse.

I gave it up at - As Tap hugged her he thought he heard songbirds nearby but then realized it was just the ringing in his ears.

God how awful. Sorry but my time is more valuable than to spend it reading such shlock.
Stephen Bly has given a gift of laughter, love, and joy. The delima faced by the main characters, Pepper and Tap, is unusual however, it is representive of the trouble that deception brings, even for good or noble reasons. This book is sheer delight and I can't wait to continue the series!
Stephen Bly was a great writer, his stories are such a easy read. You just keep turning the pages to see what going to happen next. Will definitely read the rest of this series, can not wait to see what going to happen next to Tap and Pepper. Hope you enjoy as much as I have.
I loved this book! Not sure what the one star review was about, but after starting to read and putting down three different books, I was relieved to finally read one that kept me interested the whole way through. The dialogue wasn't complex but everything they said was either relevant or realistic. Even the cat had a reason for being there. Seriously, after three books of useless characters and chapters full of filler, to find a book that utilizes every character it brought in in some important way was refreshing. I thought it was well written... from a technical standpoint, as well as from a purely enjoyable one. Well done!
I was very sad when I learned that Stephen Bly, a favorite author from my preteen and teenage years, had passed away last summer. My choice for my personal reading memorial was what I consider one of his funniest books. Identity theft was alive and well in the Old West... who needed a computer or the internet in those days?

Tap Andrews is on the run for a crime he didn't commit. Catching a stage out of Arizona seemed like a good idea, until they were ambushed in an Indian attack. Among the wounded was Zachariah Hatcher, a man with a bright future ahead of him. He had just bought a ranch in Colorado and was on his way to meet his fiancee, whom he only knew through the letters they had exchanged. When it becomes clear Zach isn't going to make it, he asks Tap to deliver the news to his Miss Cedar. But when Tap gets mistaken for Zach on the trail, he begins to think it might not be a bad thing to slip into Hatcher's identity. It has to be worth a shot, at least.

Pepper Paige is fed up with life. Tough breaks required her to work in a dance hall and she's never been able to escape. Finding herself the favorite of a rough outlaw is pushing her over the edge. She is forced out of work one evening to care for a woman badly injured in a stage accident. While watching over her unconscious patient, Pepper looks through her things in order to discover her identity and finds out that Suzanne Cedar is on her way to meet her fiance, whom she has never met. When Suzanne does pass away, Pepper decides that they look enough alike that assuming Miss Cedar's life might just be her ticket out of her living nightmare.

When Tap and Pepper meet, they are both pretending and both worried that the other will see through them. They're in a rush to get married and officially start their new lives. When circumstances arise to push the wedding off for a while, the Lord starts working on both of their hearts about the deception they find themselves in. They are in for encounters with an Almighty God which may turn their lives around even more than that which they are seeking.

There are horseback rides, gun fights, romance, humor, faith, and unexpected turns. Just what every good western needs! Stephen Bly brought us the west in a unique way, as it seems all of his stories are related to the other. You never know when heroes or heroines from other series are going to pop up or be mentiond in conversation. It's a whole world within a world kind of thing.
Love most all Stephen Bly books, this one included.
We enjoy historical/western romances.
