Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

Kennedy Ryan has done it again. What a fantastic book!! Even though I am very different from Hendrix, I felt so connected to her while reading this book. The author’s ability to write characters who are equal parts strong and vulnerable is so refreshing to see for Black women. One of my favorite things about this book was how loud and proud Maverick was in his love for Hendrix. Both through his words and, more importantly, his actions. Of course him being a billionaire and have the ability to spoil her was an added bonus, but his care for her emotions and encouragement/support of her career are what truly made me love him for her.

I didn’t know how much I needed this series, and I hope we can come back to this world somehow. I Can’t Get Enough of these books! At its core, these books are about the sisterhood of three amazing Black women, each with their own unique strengths and personalities. We need more stories like this in the world!

"Can't Get Enough" by Kennedy Ryan is a refreshing and heartfelt romance that stands out in the genre. It’s a joy to read about two mature, thoughtful adults navigating love with the wisdom and self-awareness that comes from truly knowing who they are. The story feels grounded, with well-developed characters who are easy to root for. The romance unfolds naturally, supported by a refreshing storyline. Kennedy Ryan captures the beauty of finding love as an adult in their 40's with authenticity and grace, making this a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable read.

This book is the perfect end to a perfect trilogy. Ms Ryan writes such well done nuanced romances. I can’t recommend them enough. Hendrix’s story lived up to all my hopes.

The prologue was beautiful and had me in tears. I also appreciated the encouragement around black women in the entrepreneurial space.

Hendrix didn't deserve this type of storyline. I found myself wanting to move on to see if it got any better and it just didn’t. About less than halfway through, I became distracted and disinterested because Maverick was contradictory and not mature for a man his age. I definitely expected more.

This book is everything. Infinity stars.

Not only was Hendrix’s story exactly what it needed to be and more, but the finale to the women of Skyland was beyond words. Hen and Mav are both adults and act like it. It’s so refreshing to read about responsible people with adult issues and how they navigate real life. They truly deserve each other and their story is heartfelt, warm, and reassuring.

While watching her love story play out was worth the wait, the depth of the friendship between Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmen was beautiful. These women are soulmates in the best ways possible and their story over the course of the three books will forever be a favorite of mine. Perfection.

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the arc of one of my most anticipated reads of the whole year. This book is released May 13th. Mark. Your. Calendars.

I don’t think Kennedy is capable of writing a bad book, and where I wasn’t outright obsessed with this, I will forever be obsessed with my Skyland girls.

I felt so deeply emotionally connected to This Could Be us, and really enjoyed the growth in Before I Let Go, but this one fell a little flat for me in that area. Nevertheless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hendrix!!!!! She’s funny, she’s loyal, compassionate, headstrong, literally exactly the kind of woman I want to be in life. Mav was so hot and truly was exactly the kind of man that Hen needed. This was just a good read, and I already miss my girlies. I love everyone and their happy endings and their beautiful families. And once again, I shed tears over the friendship between Yas, Hen, and Sol. (using their nicknames bc they are my best friends) their friendship is beautiful and so strong and heartwarming and I can just cry thinking about them.

Wow! Kennedy Ryan really knocked out the park with this one. First and foremost this book is black black bliggty black and I love it. Not that I’m surprised at all. The amount of culture that is laced throughout each word is so fulfilling. As the childless rich auntie in my own friend group, I really appreciate the way Kennedy Ryan shined a light on how knowing you don’t want kids is enough and it doesn’t need an explanation. Maverick just might be my favorite MMC in Skyland. Something about how his determination is connected to his emotional intelligence it never watered down his love for Hendrix and that made it all feel more special. And we love a happily ever after. Tens across the board

I’m sure I’ll be in the minority but I just could not connect with Hen & Mav. Mav’s introduction to Hen’s life felt messy & unnecessary. I had high expectations for my girl and unfortunately, their story missed the mark for me. I did enjoy moments with her mom, aunt, Yas, and Soledad.

This was a great read! Kennedy Ryan does an excellent job crafting emotionally rich human experiences into her love stories. As a reader, you can tell that she did her research when it came to dealing with Hendrix's mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis. I know Hendrix and her mother's journey will resonate with many people.

The romance between Hendrix and Maverick is a slow burn. I liked how they connected over having a loved one affected by Alzheimer's and the support he provided for Hendrix's venture capitalist fund. I wasn't a huge fan of how Hendrix and Maverick's relationship began, as well as the drama that ensued with his ex-girlfriend, Zere. Towards the end of the book, Maverick won me over though!

I also really appreciated the inclusion of the civil rights case that targeted Hendrix's venture capitalist fund. I think it is very timely and I love how Kennedy Ryan isn't afraid to tackle tough issues in a romance novel.

Overall this was a deeply emotional read and a great way to end the Skyland Series. If you loved the previous two books in the series, Can't Get Enough is worth adding to your TBR ASAP!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this e-ARC!

I thought I was going to love Hendrix but about 30% in I realize that I don’t. She isn’t the character I thought she was in the other two books. I didn’t like how her and Mav handled the Zere situation and I can’t pretend otherwise. I get that Hendrix is supposed to be the free spirit of the group but some of her choices were questionable. I did enjoy watching how her relationship with her mother evolved due to her Alzheimer’s and the nod to the real life civil rights battles taking place today.

I’m realizing that this whole series is about messy entanglements. Like what happens to relationships that don’t start off in the cleanest way. How do you navigate that? I really only like 1/3rd of this friend group. So I’ll be tuned in to watch Yazmen’s storyline when the tv show comes out. But who knows maybe Hendrix and Soledad’s characters will change my mind once I see them on screen.

Fantastic book. A fantastic conclusion to a much loved series. Kennedy makes US ALL seen and heard and felt. She makes spaces for us to exist in a world that increasingly tells us we do not belong here. It’s a defining story and one that every woman and man ought not to miss.

Kennedy Ryan has a gift for crafting love stories that feel deeply earned, emotionally rich, and affirming of Black women’s agency. 'Can’t Get Enough' is no exception. From the very first chapter, Hendrix Barry’s independence and ambition shine through. She’s built a life on her own terms, thriving in an industry where few succeed. Yet beneath her confidence lies the weight of caring for her mother, whose Alzheimer’s is progressing quickly. Maverick Bell, a tech mogul with his own experiences of loss, enters her world with an undeniable presence—one that sees her fully, without asking her to shrink or compromise. Their slow-burn romance simmers with tension, made even more complicated by Hendrix’s loyalty to a business relationship that challenges her feelings for Maverick. The novel beautifully explores the conflict between choosing oneself and opening up to a love that is uniquely right.

'Can’t Get Enough' is a narrative that shows the way Kennedy Ryan writes love as something expansive and deeply personal. Hendrix has always been the strong one, the friend who never saw motherhood in her future, and the woman who refused to settle. Maverick, with his patience and emotional depth, is exactly the kind of partner who honors that about her rather than trying to change her. Their journey isn’t just about romance and attraction but it’s about learning to receive support. Mav and Hen develop a love that complements rather than confines. Ryan doesn’t tie Hendrix’s story up neatly with a bow, but instead allows her to find fulfillment in a way that feels authentic to who she is. For anyone who has ever felt like they had to navigate life on their own, this book is a powerful reminder that love—when right—meets you where you are. The dedication to Tash at the end brought a smile to my heart. May she always be remembered for all she contributed to the lives of book friends and the book community. We love you, Tash!

Thank you to Kennedy Ryan, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for this arc of Can’t Get Enough, out May 13, 2025! (Book #3 in the Skyland series)

📜Quick Summary: Hendrix Barry is back and she’s more ambitious than ever! Hendrix has been moving mountains in her life since she started her career but her frail mother is forcing her to make different decisions. She’s survived losing her father, but losing her mother to Alzheimers, while she is physically still here is eating her alive. The only person that understands what she’s going through is tech mogul Maverick Bell, and he’s sworn off at the moment. He’s coming off of a breakup with a woman she holds business with, and breaking girl code could ruin her career she fought so hard for. Will she finally give in to herself and allow herself to have what she deserves?

❣️Initial Feels: Yes, yes, yes! I shed some tears already in the first few pages and I am ready to have my heart ripped out and torn apart. I think we are going to be feeling all the feels in this knockout novel!

👀Trigger Warnings: Alzheimers, loss of parent,

📖Read if you want: hope, resilience, romance, laughs, grief, tears, slow burn

🌶️Spice Level: 4 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

🗨️Touching Words: “I want my love to be the most extravagant gift I ever give you.”

🙋🏼‍♀️Moving Character: Hen is beyond beautiful, on the outside as much as the inside, and her powerhouse of a character broke my heart multiple times. Her strength, determination, grit, and honor are upheld the entire novel. It’s hard to imagine that she’s not really out there fighting the fight for her Aspire Fund.

💡Final Sentiments: Kennedy Ryan can do no wrong and I could NOT hold in my excitement knowing that I could read this novel early! I am so excited to see Hendrix’s story, as I LOVED following Yasmen and Soledad and now it’s our girl Hendrix’s turn! Kennedy Ryan’s writing is pure perfection, and I want to know her secret! I could eat up her words and never have enough and it was SO hard to pace myself with her latest, Can’t Get Enough! The witty banter between the three friends reminds me so much of my girlfriends and I have to remind myself that these three are not real! The work that Ryan put into this novel as well, the research of caring for an ailing parent, was evident in her words and actions. Hendrix chose to not have children (by choice) and I think that can be such a taboo topic for anyone to discuss but Kennedy Ryan did it so beautifully. Don’t forget to read her author’s note at the end, along with her acknowledgements. I had tears in my eyes when the novel ended, and truly loved Can’t Get Enough!

🌟Overall Rating: 5 stars…all the stars!

Incredible, not that I ever had a doubt that it would be. Hendrix is strong, independent, smart as hell and knows exactly what she wants. Maverick is a billionaire who gets what he wants and what he wants is Hendrix. I have loved this entire Skyland series and this one might be my favorite. Seeing Hendrix come to terms with her mom’s heath and the anticipatory grief that comes with having a family member you will miss before they’re gone was heartbreaking and relatable. Mav being there for her for whatever she needs and knowing what she needs before she does was the icing on the cake. Slow burn(ish), friends to lovers, spicy, happily ever after. Go preorder it now!

Kennedy Ryan is one of my favorite authors and I was very thankful for the opportunity to read “Can’t Get Enough” early. As someone in their late 30’s, I appreciate the topics that Kennedy Ryan discusses in the Skyland series. As someone who is also childless by choice, I appreciated Hendrix’s stance on having children never changed and she was happy with her choices and was true to herself. Also her struggles feeling like she was doing enough caring for an aging parent with Alzheimer’s was very relatable.

Kennedy Ryan also writes such amazing connections between her main characters, you can see why they’re together and it’s believable that they would have an HEA.

Kennedy Ryan does it AGAIN - the Skyland series is one of my favorite romance series, and I’m so so so happy with Hendrix’s story. Her and Mav have this blossoming electricity that flies off the page. She is so headstrong, ambitious, intelligent, and beautiful and Maverick TELLS HER THAT !!!! He shows her that. He loves her and treats her so well. I loved their relationship so much and how mature (as MCs in their 40s should be) everything was handled when they were getting together. I also LOVE how this spotlight Black women in business leadership / entrepreneurship!! Ugh I sped through this book and will always have such a special place in my head for the Skyland series. I MISS THESE CHARACTERS ALREADY

I am so sad this series is over. I loved learning about Hendrix and getting to see different layers to her. This book hit home to me as I lost a parent to Alzheimer’s so I loved the representation of that. I loved the mmc and how Hendrix let him in her life even though she wanted to push him away. I’m glad to see her happy and I’m happy that we got a book from her perspective. This book was a perfect bow to the ending of this series. I am going to miss it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I am a huge fan of Kennedy Ryan and this series. I loved reading Hendrix’s story of how she balances her work with family and how it’s ok to be child free by choice. I do think of the 3 Skyland books I loved This Could Be Us the most but the series is really good in general and it was my introduction to this author.

The way that I was waiting for this book to be available as eARC was unbelievable. I literally needed this book in my hands because I knew this book was going to be it. I just love when a main character, especially a dominant one in her field, gets a love story where she doesn’t compromise. It usually doesn’t happen in romance books. I’m not hating it, but it’s a bit annoying when the woman’s always expected to give up something or to compromise, but Hendrick is always and will always be a girl boss in her field, no matter what. And to have a man love her through and through and not ask her to give up anything is the story that I need to read.

And let me tell you that this ma’am, this male love character, was everything and more for Hendrix. Their meeting may not be convenient at first, but when this man is willing to do everything and when I say everything to be with him is truly top-notch, I am telling you it is top-notch. I’m not going to say anything else because I need you to read this. I literally love this store. I do not want to spoil anything else. Just read this book ASAP.

Before I let go was my intro to Kennedy Ryan. After it I read everything she has published. She is a wonderful storyteller and Can’’t get enough is her best one so far.

She finished the Skyland series with Hendrix story and it is perfect. Hen and Mav just fit and what Kennedy never lets us forget is that the women who see us through, who see us and get us and love us. They are our true soulmates.

Please read this book after you read the rest of the skyland books.
