About the author
Vivian Vaughan
27 books23 followersVivian Vaughan is the granddaughter of Texas ranchers and Texas Rangers. She grew up on the western edge of the Edwards Plateau, where there has always been a scarcity of water and grass – and an abundance of self-reliance, a place where people don’t take themselves too seriously and laughter comes naturally. Vaughan’s books reflect her love of the land, the people and their stories. Vivian lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband of fifty-four years, a retired NASA engineer. Their two sons, two lovely daughters-in-law (one from England; the other Mexico) and five of their 6 grandchildren live nearby.

My facebook review:
Branded is boring and repetitive and boring. The word "insidious" appears thirty times in the first thirty-seven pages, worming its way in between the tortured similes like a weed in a garden full of different weeds. The heroine is constantly referred to as "Miss Fancy Pants." It's also boring and repetitive. I gave up halfway through.
I eventually went back to this book, but I never enjoyed it. The characters were just dreadful people, and idiots besides. It was set up to be a murder mystery, sort of, but it was all extremely unsatisfying and obvious. Zebra romances have been uniformly mockable, but this one was a special category of badly written.
Also, it's called "Branded" because the hero, Trevor is...not branded. He has a T-shaped scar on his forehead, supposedly caused by the woman he allegedly murdered slapping him with a bracelet.
The heroine is absolutely fixated on that scar, and more than once thinks, "T for Trevor. T for Trouble."
T for throw it across the room.
