This book is on the longer side of romance books. And as a doctor-to-be, I think we really need a lot more stories like this. I mean, as doctors, we know the symptoms and signs of diseases, but we don’t always know how the disease affects the lives of patients and their families. I really enjoy reading books with medical representation because, you know, I need to understand—I need to empathize with my future patients. I need to see them as human beings, not just cases or conditions.

I loved the Alzheimer’s representation in this book because it didn’t just show how it impacts the patient, but also how it affects their family—especially the daughter, who had to become a parent to her own mother.

I swear the way these women talk to each other makes me blush. Look I get you being friends but there's something called privacy 😭

The accent in Kennedy Ryan's audiobooks is always a little bit hard for me, but I guess it's accurate, so that's good. The female narrator, particularly, is brilliant!

If I had known that a review ratio above 80% would land me my most anticipated book, I would have made the effort much earlier 😭
Thank you so much Netgalley and Hachette Audio 💕💕

I don’t think it’s hit me yet as I start to write this review that this is the end of Skyland. The characters that Kennedy Ryan writes are so well rounded the stories so meaningful. That I look at the time thinking only a short period has passed because I’m so caught up in the world and lives that she’s built that the book is over and it’s been hours. And then I have to sit here and contemplate how the next book I’m going to choose to read could live up to what I just read
I don’t know if I can choose one character over the other when it comes to this friend group of which I like best they all have their individual stories that are just so special. Hendrix is a business woman who has drive but also is a caregiver to her mother who has Alzheimer’s. We see in this book that not only does. She share that responsibility with her aunt who also has her own issues and then she becomes the caregiver of both.
I feel like when it comes to billionaire romances we all have the idea that they just come in and sweep us off their feet and while there was some of that in this, it was also different than your average billionaire romance book. Maverick has that drive to build his business to what it is today and one thing that attracts him to Hen is her drive.
I also just turned 40 this week and it’s so hard to find books that the main characters are my age. And not only that but that they also don’t feel the need to have children. I do feel that out of all the books. This one is the one that calls to me the most but this series is just one that’s going to stay with me for a very long time and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Kennedy Ryan next.
**edit to add audiobook addition***
I was able to experience the book a second time via audiobook and let me tell you it’s the first without it was amazing the addition of the audiobook was they way that Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem bring to life the characters of this book is nothing short of outstanding. I know if ever see their names associated with a book it’s going to be good. The way Wesleigh tells stories is my absolute favorite. I love how she inflects her voice and out of all the female narrators when she does her male voice during dual narration audios. All in all a great casting a great production.

Thank you to the publisher as I received a complimentary reader copy from Forever all thoughts and opinions are my own!

Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What an utterly stunning way to bring this chapter in Skyland to a close. This book has so much vulnerability and heart. From the moment we met Hendrix in Before I Let Go, I knew I could not wait to get my grubby little hands on her story and I have to say this exceeded my expectations.

Hendrix’s story is so tender and fierce. I loved watching her balance her career ambitions with what she actually wanted to prioritize in her personal life as she goes through this journey of meeting Maverick, handling her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s, and everything else along the way. She is such a strong and badass woman but no one does character development like Kennedy Ryan and the way Hendrix is fully flushed out in this novel is really special.

And Maverick? Get. Out. Of. Here. I really thought that any love interest in this book was going to be mid for me because Judah Cross ruined all fictional men forever (can we have more forensic accountant love interests please?) but Maverick was the perfect counterpart to Hendrix and their forbidden love slow burn was so dang fiery 🔥

To top off this beautiful story, we get even more special moments between Hendrix, Yasmin, and Soledad which are forever my favorite parts. The female friendship between these three is just so well written and I especially love that they aren’t childhood friends. As someone who has found most of my people in my late 20s/early 30s I feel like this is just such incredible representation of the fierceness of adult female friendships.

All in all, I found this book to be perfect and it left me craving more of this incredible cast of characters (and some greasy Waffle House food). Do not sleep on this one!!

Update after receiving audio: these narrators are absolutely perfect for the characters and I would highly recommend either format of this book.

This was hands down my favorite book in the Skyland series. I already loved Hendrix from the earlier books, but getting to step fully into her world made me feel connected to her in a way I didn’t expect. She’s smart, funny, loyal, and fiercely committed to the people and causes she cares about. Watching her juggle her booming business, care for her mom with Alzheimer’s, and try to open herself up to love felt so real. I saw pieces of myself in her.

And then there’s Maverick. This man is the blueprint. He’s steady, soft, and completely serious about Hendrix from the jump. The way he supports her without trying to fix or change her was everything. His heart was never in question. Their chemistry is unreal and their relationship is full of mutual respect and care.

But what made this book, and the Skyland series as a whole, special was how much love it poured into female friendship and the messiness of life. The bond between Hendrix, Yasmeen, and Soledad is still the emotional anchor of the series, and it made me extra grateful for the women in my own life. Kennedy Ryan knows how to write characters that feel like real people, and this book felt like it showed up at exactly the right time for me. I didn’t want it to end.
