Kennedy Ryan has a way of writing romance that doesn’t just tug at the heartstrings—it yanks, pulls, and refuses to let go. Can’t Get Enough is no exception. This story is a stunning exploration of ambition, love, and the delicate balance between chasing dreams and making space for something real.
Hendrix Barry is everything—driven, successful, and fiercely independent. She’s built a life that most people would envy, but beneath the carefully curated vision of success, she’s juggling more than anyone realizes. The weight of responsibility, particularly in caring for her aging parent, makes romance feel like a distraction she can’t afford. Enter Maverick Bell, a man who isn’t just tempting—he’s a game-changer.
Mav is relentless in the best way, seeing past the walls Hendrix has so carefully constructed and showing her that love doesn’t have to come at the cost of success. Their chemistry is electric, their banter sharp, and their connection undeniable. But what makes this story shine isn’t just the heat—it’s the depth. Kennedy Ryan crafts a romance that feels real, messy, and deeply earned, with characters as compelling apart as they are together.
This book is about more than falling in love; it’s about choosing love when life feels too full for it. Hendrix and Maverick’s journey is swoon-worthy, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant. I couldn’t put it down.

Loving her, being with her– the only thing I can’t get enough of is this. Is us.

I knew the last book in the Skyland Series would pack a big punch based on the larger than life personality displayed by Hendrix in the first two stories. But I had no idea that we would get a love story for the ages when Hendrix met Maverick (swoon). And while romance always takes center stage in Kennedy Ryan’s books, we also go to witness a friendship dynamic that was uplifting and admirable between the three heroines of the series.

Even while navigating a family crisis, Hendrix still managed to shine a light on equality, while displaying a fierceness that was center-stage when it came to her handling of matters of the heart and her professional life. This was an enjoyable read, that will give you all the feels…joy, sadness, pride, empowerment...and last but not least, inspiration! Kennedy Ryan never disappoints!

Bourbon Street Bookers

If you want a story filled with humor, spice, and all the feels, then Can’t Get Enough is the book for you!

After getting snippets of Hendrix in Yasmen and Soledad’s books - I was excited to learn more about the rich auntie of the group and I was not disappointed! Hendrix is expanding her already successful business and balancing care for her mother who is in the early stages of Alzheimer's. Maverick is also working on expanding his empire and just got out of a long-term relationship. When the two meet - they connect on a level that they’ve never experienced before, and the reader gets a front row seat at their love story.

Hendrix & Maverick’s relationship is my favorite written by Kennedy Ryan as they have very similar values and goals, which allows them to connect on an even deeper level. They both utilize words and actions to affirm each other and can express themselves without fear of judgment. “Now I know what it means to feel seen. To feel known.” I think if there was a textbook perfect couple it would be the two of them!

I highly recommend this novel for all readers - as I can’t think of anyone that wouldn’t enjoy this book!

Thank you Forever & NetGalley for the eARC for review consideration!

This book completely stole my heart. Hendrix is strong, independent, and fiercely devoted to her family and friends, even when it comes at a personal cost. Watching her navigate love, responsibility, and her own happiness was both emotional and inspiring.
And then there’s Maverick 'four fingers' Bell… whew. The man is everything—charming, patient, and undeniably swoon-worthy. Their chemistry is off the charts, but what really got me was the depth of their connection. It’s not just passion; it’s trust, healing, and love in its purest form.
Kennedy never just tells a love story—she makes you feel it. This book is about sacrifice, self-worth, and finding love that doesn’t ask you to shrink yourself. I laughed, I cried, and I didn’t want it to end. If you love emotional, deeply layered romances, Can’t Get Enough is a must-read!

I absolutely loved Before I Let Go and wasn't as crazy about Soledad's story, but Hendrix.....this was it! This may now be my favorite in the series. Not only because of how empowering Hendrix's story was but Maverick 😍 The two of them together was 👌😘 The struggle of Alzheimer’s was such an emotional part of the story and the social issues throughout were a welcome addition to the romance story. The note at the end from the author was a wonderful addition explaining her reasoning. This was more than a romance book, this was a raw story about love, between friends and parents alike, and a story about the struggle of women and black people. It was empowering and really raised my awareness of things I have been lucky to not know about. The commentary about not wanting children really hit home for me as well, as I have exactly the same sentiments as Hendrix. Overall, this is a powerful story about a black woman helping build up other black women while also finding love along the way. A love that meets you right where you are and doesn't expect anything more or different than what was offered.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Kennedy. Ryan. Can. Do. No. Wrong.

THIS BOOOOOK!!!! It's so so so so good. I loved Hendrix in the first two Skyland books where she was a secondary character and have been patiently waiting for her to take center stage. Her story does not disappoint! She is the epitome of a strong independent woman who knows exactly who she is and does not let anything stand in the way of her goals. I think this is what makes her relationship with Maverick so satisfying - she doesn't need him. She wants him. And that makes all the difference in the world. I thought their relationship was believable and rooted for them the whole time. It was really well done!

I loved the secondary plotline of Hendrix's mom's struggle with dementia. As someone who has lost a close family member to Alzheimer's, the topic was treated with the utmost care and sensitivity it deserves.

Hendrix Barry is living her best life. On the verge of new journeys in her life, both good and bad, she meets billionaire Maverick Bell. Sparks fly between the two when they first meet, but a mutual connection makes them acting on their connection forbidden. Hendrix quickly friend zones Maverick and the two get to know each other through shared experiences and new business partnerships. Can they resist their romantic feelings for one another, knowing that crossing that line will implode all that she has worked for?

You know a book is going to be good when you're reading the author's note before the first chapter and you're already in tears. I wasn't surprised when this happened. Kennedy Ryan always gets me in my feels, but this book spoke to me in a different way. When I was in my early twenties, I became my father's power of attorney because he had dementia. Those years I held this role before he passed were challenging, to say the least. I approached this story warily, not knowing how it would make me feel. I don't think I've ever read a story that featured a main character caring for someone with dementia that felt so complete in how it was portrayed. Kennedy Ryan is a master at sharing the complexity of our experiences with depth, nuance, and in a way that leaves you whole in the end. It takes a very talented writer to do that.

Ryan gave us a love story that I felt deep in my bones. From the moment they met, I knew that Hendrix and Maverick's journey was going to be all I wanted it to be. Maverick was a man with a plan and he pursued her with determination and need. I loved the slow burn development of their romance because the tension built into a crescendo that was worth the wait. And I'm not gonna lie, the bit of juicy drama from them revealing that they were together was very entertaining!

Hendrix is ambitious, bold, authentic, and willing to fight for what is right. She is one of those heroines that has characteristics that I aspire to live my life with. No wonder Maverick, a man who could have any woman, only had eyes for her since the moment they met. I loved that he knew how to treat her like the goddess that she is.

With this third book in the Skyland series, I am further convinced that Kennedy Ryan is one of the most brilliant writers of our time. This book is a 2025 MUST-READ!!!

One last thought is...can we get a Bolt and Skipper story, please???

Hendrix Barry lives a fabulous life. She has phenomenal friends, a loving family, and a thriving business that places her in the entertainment industry's rarefied air. Your vision board? She’s probably living it.

She’s a woman with goals, dreams, ambitions—always striving upward. And in the midst of everything, she's facing her toughest challenge yet: caring for an aging parent.

Who has time for romance? From her experience, there's a low ROI on relationships. She hasn't met the man who can keep up with her anyway. Until…him.

Tech mogul Maverick Bell is a dilemma wrapped in an exquisitely tailored suit and knee-melting charm. From their first charged glance at the summer's hottest party, Hendrix feels like she’s met her match. Only he can’t be. Mav may be the first to make her feel this seen and desired and appreciated, but he’s the last one she can have. Forbidden fruit is the juiciest, and this man is off limits if she plans to stay the course she’s set for herself.

But when Maverick gives chase—pursuing her, spoiling her, understanding her—is it time to let herself have something more?

💭 T H O U G H T S

I completely devoured Books 1 and 2 in the Skyland series last year, so Can't Get Enough was definitely one of my most anticipated romances releasing in 2025. From the moment, Kennedy Ryan hinted at Hendrix's mother having Alzheimer's, it's this story that I have been waiting for. Ryan's note at the beginning details her personal connection and the research that went into creating a realistic picture of living with the disease.

Told in dual POV, this story covers a lot of ground, both literally (flying from one place to the next continuously) and figuratively. Hendrix and Maverick's chemistry instantly leapt off the page, and even though it has elements of a forbidden romance, I never found that aspect overly believable given their age and situation.

While Hendrix's character is fierce, independent, and dynamic, she also felt different from the previous books and lacked the depth of development I was craving. I absolutely loved Ryan including a woman who is child free by choice within this group of friends, there is so much more room for this trope in romance and hopefully this can be a shift in the narrative. Maverick's character was fine, yet I also found he lacked depth.

There are two central plot lines underneath the romance and it often felt like two different stories rather than one seamless novel. The plot featuring her mother disappears entirely for a good chunk of the book and reappears at the later point, which felt a little clunky. I also really missed the girls' (Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmin’s) sisterhood. It is their bond that really drew me to the series to start with and it took a backseat in this one.

Overall, Can't Get Enough is a filled with desire and lust along with real life issues, however, it just didn't hold the same emotional depth as the previous two books. I was really looking forward to the Alzheimer's thread, and while it was done very well, book 3 ended up being my least favourite of the trilogy. And left me wanting something more for Hendrix.

"I sometimes wonder if taking care of him so well took too much out of her."

"We so rarely truly see people in their hurt. It's even rarer not to flinch - not to look way from another's pain."

"Kids aren't for everyone."

"Are there words in the lexicography of human emotion for how it feels to lose the love of your life? It's articulated in wails and tears, in the impenetrable loneliness that comes with losing such a vital part of who you are. Your person, closer than anyone to you, is now irretrievable, beyond reach. A mourning with no sunrise. You never know what to say when faced with that kind of devastation."

Obsessed is an Understatement — A Perfect Finale!

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a romance that grabs me by the heart and doesn’t let go. This book did exactly that! I gave it a perfect rating because it was everything I could have wanted.

Hendrix, or “Hen,” is a powerhouse. She’s juggling so much: running a business that helps black women who are entrepreneurs, managing clients, and caring for her mother, who has Alzheimer’s. Love isn’t on her priority list, but fate has other plans when she crosses paths with Maverick. Their connection is instant, intense, and undeniable from the moment they meet. But love comes with choices; for Hendrix, that means facing sacrifices she might not be ready to make.

And then there’s Maverick. Mav is the blueprint. He is the ultimate “if he could, he would” man. He never tries to dim Hendrix’s light or stand in the way of her dreams. Instead, he’s the one pushing her to make them a reality. His devotion is unmatched.

This book was the perfect way to close out the series. It delivered all the emotion, romance, and depth I was hoping for. If you love a hero who worships his woman, a heroine who fights for herself, and a love story that feels real and raw, this book is for you.

Kennedy Ryan does it again! Can’t Get Enough, the third installment in the Skyland series, is an emotional powerhouse that blends love, loss, and resilience with Ryan’s signature depth and authenticity. What sets her storytelling apart is the way she infuses real-world issues into the fabric of her characters’ lives—not as background noise, but as integral parts of their journeys. From racial justice to healthcare disparities, every theme is explored with care, making the story feel both personal and universally relevant. Hendrix’s journey, in particular, is a deeply moving portrayal of caregiving, highlighting the challenges and sacrifices that come with supporting an aging loved one while juggling personal ambitions and relationships.

Ryan’s ability to capture life’s messy, beautiful realities is on full display here. Hendrix’s experiences as a middle-aged, successful Black woman navigating career pressures, friendships, romance, and family obligations feel incredibly authentic. The portrayal of dementia’s impact is especially powerful—there’s a gut-wrenching scene between Hendrix and her mother that is so raw, so painfully real, it feels like you’re in the room with them. Ryan doesn’t just tell a story; she makes you live it. While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye to the Skyland series, Can’t Get Enough is a fitting and unforgettable conclusion. If you haven’t picked it up yet, you’re missing out!

I loved the other two books in the series but this one missed the mark for me. The drama between Hen, Mav, and Zere was too much for me. The side drama between Skipper and Bolt was unnecessary.

I actually started at the beginning of this series to properly review this book. I will say Kennedy Ryan's books are getting better and better. Of the three in this series, I enjoyed Hendrix's story the best. Find a man strong enough to break down the wall of independence that she has built was a fresh twist in romance books. As hard as her mom's medical fate was to read, it also brought a refreshing bit to the story. The book flowed easily and I couldn't put it down until the end.

Kennedy Ryan continues to push the boundaries of what “romance” as a genre can mean. With the third installment of the Skyland Sisters series, we see Hendrix stand in her own completeness while opening herself up to the possibility of love. Her story is as emotionally complex as her sisters’, with the plot taking us from navigating caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer’s to making choices between being loved and independent. The characters have depth and nuance, and the story is perfectly paced (with plenty of spice!)

On a personal note, it’s clear how much research Ryan did on the experience of people living with dementia and their families. As a speech therapist specializing in working with exactly this population, it was refreshing (and heart-wrenching) to see my patients’ stories accurately reflected on the pages. Even the smallest details were well thought out. And while dementia is not a monolith - everyone’s experience is different - I appreciated accurate representation of a singular experience in a field of often misleading, dementia literature. Can’t Get Enough might just be my favorite book of the year! Thank you, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an advanced copy of this book!

We're living in a golden age of romance, and Kennedy Ryan is one of our most vital voices. When you pick up a Kennedy Ryan novel, you receive more than a love story—you get a persistent, gentle nudge toward believing in your own greatness, your worthiness of joy and love, until you reach the final page ready to dismantle systems of oppression.

Can't Get Enough concludes the Skyland trilogy with the story of Hendrix Barry, a woman who embodies success on her own terms. She runs a thriving business, maintains deep friendships, and belongs to a loving family. Yet beneath her polished exterior, Hendrix faces the challenge many women in their prime confront: caring for an aging parent while maintaining her hard-won career success.

Enter Maverick Bell, a tech mogul who sees Hendrix completely—her ambition, her heart, her struggles. Their connection burns with the confident passion that comes with maturity and the conviction that their hearts are leading them exactly where they need to be. Their romance feels revolutionary in its honesty and refusal to sacrifice either character's dreams on the altar of conformity.

What makes Kennedy's work exceptional is her ability to balance social commentary with heat that practically melts the pages. This book touches subjects that resonate deeply—caretaking responsibilities, professional ambition, forbidden attraction—while never losing sight of the love story at its core.

Reading this book, I felt seen in ways mainstream media rarely accomplishes. One medical emergency scene mirrored an experience I recently had with a loved one so closely that I had to pause reading. This recognition—this understanding of our lives—is why Kennedy's work resonates with such power.

The entire Skyland trilogy offers this gift of recognition. Each book presents characters navigating complex lives with grace, determination, and an unwillingness to settle for less than they deserve in love or in life.

If you haven't picked up this series yet, consider this your sign to practice self-care and treat yourself. These books remind us that our struggles deserve witness, our ambitions deserve support, and our hearts deserve partners who match our fire.

I adore kennedy ryan and the emotion she brings to romance, and I love this series.

However this one fell a little flat for me, I didn’t feel the emotion as much as her previous books, but the characters were my favorite part!

The story was engaging and I still found myself enjoying it most of the time, the middle lagged a little bit for me but overall it was a quick read with a hot romance plot!

🤯 This book was mind-blowing. I have all the feels, and I just don't know how to get them all out. This was a masterpiece. I can't get enough of Kennedy Ryan

I was first introduced to Hendrick when I was lucky enough to get a copy of This Could be Us and her story did not disappoint. I found her story relatable, compelling, compassionate, and unforgettable.

This was my 9th Kennedy Ryan Read. I DEVOURED this book.

Kennedy did what she does best! The way she was able to mix emotional familial drama with a risky, sexy, forbidden billionaire romance in one book??? I don’t think anyone else could have pulled this off so seamlessly. I can see some people not liking the way Hendrix and Maverick meet, but I enjoy a little messiness in a romance! I also appreciated that the setting was a bit different and not primarily in the Skyland neighborhood. The epilogue was beautiful and provided a wonderful close to the series.

No one writes female friendships like Kennedy and the way they have as much impact on our characters as the love interest is truly a Ryan signature I appreciate.

And as always, Ryan shows a side of womanhood that is often overlooked. In this book, that’s a woman who doesn’t want kids and normalizing that conversation.

Wishing I could read this work of words all over again. The story of Hendrix and Maverick is a soul stirring, feel good, kind of love. This story hit close to home as I am caring for aging parents.

Kennedy Ryan has mastered the magic of penning black love. Would love a novella of the assistants from this novel with sprinkles of the other couples. Well done, Kennedy! I will read you forever.

Book 3 in the Skyland series was one of my most anticipated 2025 reads, so I was super excited to get this ARC!

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about this series is the bond and friendship between the three FMCs. Hendrix is the confident and dependable friend who spoils her BFFs children and is child-free-by-choice. I love that this series has main characters in their late 30s/early 40s, so they are mature and more self-assured. Kennedy Ryan excels at developing strong FMCs. Hendrix is the queen of knowing herself and what she wants/doesn’t want. She is a hyper-independent badass who is used to pouring into her goals, career, and love for her family and friends but is not used to letting others take care of her.

When Maverick comes into her life, she has to decide whether she is willing to take a risk for herself. On page, we really feel the attraction between Hen & Mav. We’re constantly told that they have such a strong emotional connection, but that seemed to develop during their off-page interactions. I really wanted to feel the “deep connection” but, unfortunately, that feeling never came.

Overall, I would say that I enjoyed the first two books in the series more than this one, but this was still a good solid read.
