As usual, an amazing read.
Mr. McVay never lets his readers of good stories down. The stories are full of excitement, thrills and down-right mean, dirty bad guys. Looking forward to more of Mr. Clay Brentwood, Texas Ranger.

Clay Brentwood
I have to say these books will grab you. Once I started this book I did not want to put it down. I wanted to see what was going to happen next. Was glad to see Ol’Son would make it. Look forward to more books on Clay Brentwood. Thank you Jared for a great read.

ROUGH AND TOUGH
A great story exciting,involving our friend Clay Blackwood, Texas Ranger on the trail of three brothers who have gone hog wild. Killing, robbing and just doing whatever bullies enjoy doing. Well, Clay follows these three rescuing them from desert Apaches who capture and torture them. Then the three fools escape except for their brother Luke, whose mind is Sun baked just a mess. Then Clay's finds himself in San Francisco on the Barbary Coast searching for two of the Marlow Brothers who have been shanghaied and while aboard a fight occurs between the crew and the Bully Boys. Oh yes, can't forget Ol'Son a dog friend who Clay adopted while tracking the Marlow Brothers..a truly great companion as all pets are, especially dog lovers.
I truly enjoy reading adventures involving Clay, I hope he finds a nice lady friend, so his loneliness will end and he can start a family he so strongly wants...I say more power to him and we all wish him good luck..

A JM. Western (CBB. - 7)/Three Bad Guys and a Chase All Over the West
Jm. has. penned a western novel about our adventurous Texas Ranger who had been assigned the job of tracking down there brothers who are alleged to be extremely smart and tricky thrown in with dangerous. The trip begins in Texas and ends in San Francisco. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

GREAT READING FROM AGREAT ARTHUR!
I love the way the author keeps me so focused and interested wondering what is going to happen next. Fist fighting, fast drawing six gun shooting, hard riding, raw, wild western at its best and I recommend it to anyone reading this review for I can’t help but give a five star rating.

He Loved His Human !
This was a good adventure , lots of action.
Ol' Son protected his human partner at every danger, because Clay kept losing his prisoners. 😂😂, and they used lies and bribes to escape the jailers.
A good read, hope to read the next book , soon.

Full of action
From one rousing adventure to another, Clay pursues the evil and cunning brothers across the continent.
Meanwhile, I fought the invasion of the misplaced commas.
