Patterson Campbell has a “love ‘em and leave ‘em” philosophy when it comes to women. He’s never given anyone a reason to believe he’s after more than a good time. That is, until he sees Alayna Brand across the room. A bold, outgoing cowboy is exactly what shy, introverted Alayna needs to bring her out of her shell. But after an unforgettable night ends up being memorable for all the wrong … wrong reasons, Patterson has to prove that he’s much more than just a good time if he wants to capture her heart.
When Alayna and Patterson find themselves working together, Alayna realizes that moving on from that night might not be as easy as she thought. And Patterson? He discovers reputations are sometimes hard to live down.

You never know what skills you’ve learned will be just what you’ve always needed. The heroine has many and all fit for her forever.
Good cowgirl/cowboy story. Unpredictable.
A steamy romance with some nice old-fashioned values. Great characters and onces we will want to follow in coming books. Immediately read the trailer to see which characters were going to be in it.
Every now and then I need a happy ever after
I found this book very entertaining. I laugh at parts and teared up at others. Everyone should enjoyed re this book.
A quick and easy romance. This is 2nd book in the series and I enjoyed the updates on the characters from the 1st book.
Branded With A Kiss is my first book by Paula Altenburg, but hopefully not my last. Ms. Altenburg has delivered a well-written book. The characters are fantastic. Patterson works the family ranch, knowing it would be his someday, but not in any hurry to take over from his father. Alayna has one year left of college when her brother insists that she try to work the summer on the Bar-No Sweetheart Ranch. Patterson and Alayna’s story is part drama, part sizzle, part humor and oh my, there may be whips involved. I enjoyed reading Branded With A Kiss and look forward to reading more from Paula Altenburg in the future. Branded With A Kiss is book 2 of The Sweetheart Brand Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
Love this book!
I wish there was more to the end. It was such an abrupt ending it felt unfinished but overall it was a fun read
I really enjoyed this one! Both the main characters are interesting and unforgettable. Alayna is a shy, introverted 20 something that desperately wants to break out of her shell. More specifically she wants to know what it’s like to be with a man and lose her virginity. Patterson is actually a bit of a jerk at the beginning and ready for whatever Alayna has to offer. Too bad the night is memorable for all the wrong reason. After that night Patterson realizes what a jerk he was and wants to make it up to Alayna but she isn’t going to make it easy for him!!
A fun quick read I think you will enjoy. I recommend it.
Delightful read!
Loved the story. So fun and entertaining. Loved the development of the relationship. But the it ended. In a rush. I felt cheated. I want more of the story. The do get their HEA, which was great.
Better than the first book in the series. This finds shy, inexperienced Alyana who has crushed on very experienced Patterson for years finally gaining his attention, however things didn’t work out so well for either. A year later they find themselves with a second chance as they finally get to really know each other. A steamy and yet sweet read!
I recommend this book. Was a page turner for me! I enjoyed the characters!!
I really liked the characters and for once, it was the hero who was sure she was the one before she realized it. Refreshing.
What’s not to love about a good Cowboy Happy Ever After!!! Anxious to read more by Paula Altenburg
Patterson is a ladies man and avoids commitment and long term relationship. He runs into Alayna who is the little sister of a friend and she has grown up. When Alayna picks him to give her sexual experience Patterson starts to have feelings that he has never had before. But does Alayna believe people can change??
I kept hoping it would get better…..it never did
This was a very predictable read, but was easy and distracting
It was ok. Book was building up to something and then it just got to the end.
