Cull certainly created an endearing sense of love for his many endeavors throughout this outstanding series of western adventures. Too, the author, Mr. Ortiz Slade has the uncanny ability to provide the action any reader's r of western folklore is looking for. If you want shootouts, romance, or even a little bit of suspense, just hang with Cull and you will be satisfied!
Definitely another five star masterpiece by this exceptionally talented author, who certainly turn of an overpowering and heartwarming story. This series, although by what I surmised to be a"new author, " is one of the most refreshing and entertaining selections I have had the opportunity to follow. The character selections are extremely easy to follow, and they certainly create the desired effects in pursuit of their assignments. Too, the author's storylines successfully matched their character assignments with enthusiasm beyond control.
Definitely recommend this series of outstanding old American western folklore, as the author assuredly did his research before striking his first key. I enjoyed the final tart story, but this selection definitely is impressive, as the suspense hangs a little tougher this time. I would say these stories are somewhat family-friendly and definitely entertaining episodes from beginning to end. Give this Author a try, as I believe readers loving great western adventures will most certainly be appeased!

How does Cully get in to these situations? Clay Peterson and his gang decide they are going to rob the bank. In order for things to go smoothly, they plan to kidnap the banker's wife and hold her hostage. Things do not go smoothly even from the get go. The wife is not there, so they abduct the daughter, who is just weeks away from being married. The robbery doesn't go well either and they have to high tail it out there there without the money. They do have the daughter, Grace, so their only real option is to hold her for ransom. The father and fiance are determined to go after them and lucky for them, Cully is in just the next town over. You kind of have to know that there is going to be a lot of action while Cully figures out how the get her back. Cully seems to have this false notion that he is better off working alone. Yet he ends up having people to help him. Plus, he couldn't save so many lives if someone along the way wasn't busy saving his. In this book, he meets a woman as tenacious as he is and would make a terrific partner for him, even if just as a friend.

Cully: Ransom Denied gets a 4 star rating from me for being a well written, no-nonsense traditional western tale. I have read four Orris Slade novels to date, an I'm always entertained by them. This third book in the Cully series is one of the best so far, the story is very good, full of suspense and action. Orris Slade is a very talented storyteller, his pacing is perfect and his writing style is easy-to-read and flows smoothly. Firmly in the traditional western mold, the Cully series offers very distinctive white hat good guys and black hat bad guys with no gory violence or sex scene. Still, Orris Slade has achieved something difficult nowadays with the plethora of e-books available, he kept me entertained and more importantly, kept me reading.

Rescue of a damsel who was kidnapped and held for ransom..
I love western stories about bounty hunters and how they tracked and captured the outlaws. After reading Cully the bounty Hunter just think Cully should find another line of work. He did not appear to know how to capture the outlaws. He attempts to capture them alive while they are attempting to kill him when he could have shot them and avoided injuries to himself and others.

Interesting book, with a lot of character development
All the characters in the book grow with a lot of development in the personal growth of life. The story line is a small part of the book, most of the book is the development of each character from the good to the bad. Most characters like Grace and Wes don’t have the amount of growth. This book is worth reading.

I have read the whole 3 book series and enjoyed each of them. Slade is a good writer who does not violate credulity. I will read more by this author when he publishes them.

Really have to have more. I love it.

Not as good as the first 2 in the series. Seems the author is falling into letting the main character have an airhead moment right at the worse time just to add to the story.

The Cully series appear to be short novels that fit the typical western style. A kidnapping and ransom is the stage for our hero in this adventure. I do get a bit disappointed in the dragging ending.
