Publisher's summary

An all-new small town, ex-boyfriend's brother, standalone romance from author A.R. Rose

Whoever said, ‘words can never hurt me’ was wrong.

Words cut deep.

Especially floating past the lips of the man who always felt like home.

Cain Michaels

My ex-boyfriend’s brother.

The only man who could make me feel deeper than I ever thought possible.

My worst nightmare and most vivid dream.

Six years ago, he shattered my soul and left a hole in my heart.

Now, I’d moved on.

I’d healed.

All I needed was my bar and my no-strings attached relationship with a man who made me forget how I ended up here in the first place.

When the ruggedly gorgeous motorcycle president roared back into my life, I did what any self-respecting woman would do…

I ignored him.

Except my body hadn’t gotten the message my brain was sending it.

With every day that passed, the charade of indifference was harder to control.

Cain was determined to not only make amends, but to tear down the walls I’d built and crash through them like the wrecking ball he was.

And I wasn’t so sure I’d be able to resist him much longer.

Marked By Cain is a STANDALONE second-chance romance, and is book three in the Ridgewood Series. For the full experience, it's recommended to read Between the Flames and Wicked Games We Play prior to Marked By Cain.

She made him work for it!! *hint of spoilers*

I loved Caine and Rosie's story! The simple fact that she made him work for it and didn't simply give in is what I loved the most. He had some groveling to do that's for sure. She made him work! If you love a good grovel, angst, and a little sharing (in the beginning), give this one a chance. I will definitely be coming back for more books by A.R. Rose and can't wait to read Sly's story!

This is one of the Best

I will admit there was a point that I was like okay how is there more to this story. You have the FMC finally admit her feelings and what else can there be and I was wrong there was so much more that was left in the story. I need a story for Sly now when you get a happy ending for the main characters and a glimpse of an amazing side character that has main character energy.

Fantastic narration & the book was exquisite

I listened to this as a standalone. I haven’t read or listened to the first or second book of the series. I felt like I didn’t miss out or get any spoilers from the other books which I love. This story was well written and narrated. The story will take you into a place full of emotions and love. This is a love triangle. With some action, motorcycle gang, and so much more. I enjoy listening to this book, which I deeply recommend. The narrator did an amazing job, her male voice was so sexy and through the whole book I hadn’t even notice it was the same person all along.

Cain & Rose

This was the first book by this author I have read. It will definitely not be my last. This book had everything suspense, angst, heartbreak and a long awaited second chance. Both the story and characters were well developed. Overcoming their past to get to their HEA was a journey I enjoyed. I am looking forward to reading more by this author!

Great Story

Narrated by Amy Hall.

She did a fantastic job with Rosie and Cain. She definitely had her work cut out for her with these, but she did it very well.

Enjoyed the characters

✔️ MC President
✔️ Brother's EX
✔️ Second Chance-ish

Marked by Cain is book #3 in the Ridgewood Series. It can be read as a standalone. I didn't read the first 2 books in the series. This is written in dual POV. However, I listened to the audio and there is only one narrator, Amy Hall did a great job but I personally prefer dual narration when there are women/men POV in the books. But that's a personal preference and doesn't effect my rating.

Cain is the president of the Sinners Motorcyle Club and, I typically am not an MC fan but I really loved Cain's character and his love for Rosie. Rosie is his brothers ex girlfriend, and her character is pretty badass. She's been hurt in the past, and doesn't want to let her falls break down. Plus dick confetti (IYKYK.) 🤣 There were some moments where I laughed, some where my heart hurt but along the way they got their HEA.

And I absolutely love Sly's character, and their situation and his push for them to get together. I'm hoping that he'll get his own HEA.

motorcycle club romance

I loved this story and wasn't able to stop listening. I finished the book in just a little over a day. Amy Hall did a great job of narrating this book. She had different voices for each of the characters. I was laughing at parts and brokenhearted at other parts. This is the only book in this series that I have read and I can't wait to read the others in the series. i will definitely listen to other books that Amy narrates. If you're looking for a great read, please listen to this book.

This was worth the listen

Rosie and Cain had me from the beginning. I felt bad for Cain and always thought Rosie should not have been so hard on him. It is hard to choose between family and someone else. Sal was a sweet addition to the mix and thought his wisdom was spot on. He understood Cain and Rosie and really tried to help in his way. Amy Hall did an excellent job portraying the characters. This was an excellent book.

Loved the narration

I really love the idea of this book, the spice was good and I enjoyed Rose and Cains characters. I love a good second chance but I feel like this story needed more, I wish we would've got full on page scenes instead of just brief mentions of the past.
But overall I did like the book and the narrator did a wonderful job!
