As much as I enjoy reading in general, sometimes there’s a book that comes along that has a gravitational pull so intense that you become paralyzed in time because you don’t want the story to end and captures you long after it has. That is the feeling of CAN’T GET ENOUGH. From the start of the Skyland series when we first met Hendrix, it felt that Yasmen and Soledad’s stories were the ones that would resonate the deepest, and while they do, nothing could’ve prepared me for the literary masterpiece of Hendrix. The story of Hendrix’s fight as a Black woman in white male dominated spaces, her personal trials of caring for an elderly and sick parent, and her vulnerability in finding not just love but her person was the perfect trifecta that has tilted my reader’s heart on its axis. Listening to this book via audiobook only heightened my experience through Wesleigh and Jakobi’s sensational narration. The highlight of the importance of balanced friendships and business partnerships served as nuggets of life lessons that will help readers learn more of themselves or change them in positive ways. And I must say, Maverick Bell, and his representation of a loving Black man with a heart that was larger than his billionaire bank account, was the Chef’s kiss to Hendrix’s tale and any woman holding out for that once in a lifetime love. (I am still heady from this man. He is so swoony lol). Can’t Get Enough is the perfect title because I can’t get enough of re-reading, discussing or loving this book. Assuredly, it is my fave of the Skyland series (and of Kennedy’s catalog - and that’s saying A LOT), and I believe it will be yours, too. One of my lifetime top 5 reads!

Hendrix is Career-focused and confident and isn’t willing to sacrifice her goals for a man.
I liked that Hendrix and Maverick are equals and they both knew that they didn’t want kids.
Not everyone wants kids. We get to see how hard it is to care for a parent with Alzheimer’s. We get to see how important it is to have Women friendships.

Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem narrate as Hendrix and Maverick. Both capture the accents, inflections, and emotions perfectly.

The author’s note had me in tears again. Kennedy Ryan always writes with a purpose. 💜💜💜.

Thank you to NetGalley, ReadForeverPub and HachetteAudio for the Audio ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Hendrix is that girl! I have loved her throughout the entire Skyland Series. We truly don’t get enough characters like Hendrix. A real grown woman. Hendrix is an independent boss. Unapologetically herself! She’s built a successful career. She has a strong, supportive community of family and friends. She gives her all even caring for an aging parent with Alzheimer’s. Hendrix is fearless in the face of adversity. She’s a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum against societal pressures and norms living a full life on her own terms. She is life and gives life to everyone around her. Hendrix’s story was everything I could have wanted. It is relatable, real and raw.

As always, I love the way Kennedy Ryan writes nonromantic relationships just as much as the romantic ones. I loved being in Hendrix’s world where she grew up with her mom and aunt. There’s truly no place like home and that small town sense of community. The care Kennedy Ryan took with Hendrix’s mom Alzheimer’s diagnosis. She truly depicted how Alzheimer’s takes its toll on not only the one with the disease but their caregivers. Witnessing Hendrix come to terms with her mother’s diagnosis, the hard choices she had to make to care for her were an emotional journey.

Kennedy just has a truly magical way of writing very realistic stories of Black people living real lives. Hendrix’s story felt real to me. We have body positivity, childless by choice, favorite auntie, caretaker, fiercely independent. I can relate. Throughout these pages I saw myself in Hendrix minus the billionaire hehe. Omg, I’m getting to the romance.

I was immediately intrigued by Maverick. Their love story drew me in from that very first encounter. The immediate connection. The way they got to know each other through shared interest and experiences. It’s a slow-burn love story filled with emotional depth and of course spice, like hot but would we expect any less from our favorite girl Hendrix? I think TF not. It was love at first sight for him, a mysterious, supportive billionaire. We love a man who knows what he wants and goes after it and Maverick wanted our girl. He was there for Hendrix without pursuing her as if she’s some damsel in distress because she is not that girl. I love how they let each other just be themselves.

I wish Hendrix could've just had an easy love story with Maverick without seemingly having to choose between a career move or her relationship. The Hendrix I know would've also stood toe to toe with ole girl over her show. The ex drama was just unnecessary and added zero to the plot. Maverick should have also been childless by choice in my opinion. This is what made it a 4.5 for me.

But overall another banger of a story from Kennedy Ryan to conclude the Skyland Series! I have loved the love in these stories but my absolute favorite thing about this series is the friendship, community these three women share.

Hope you have enjoyed my ramblings. I would obviously very much recommend this book, physical or audio and my book club will be reading, immediately!

I did an immersive read with eARC and ALC. Thanks Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for the ARC! Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem brought these characters to life. Thank you, Hachette Audio, and NetGalley for the advanced listening copy.

Loved this book so much! Can’t Get Enough was the perfect conclusion to the series. Hendrix and Maverick’s story gave me all the feels. Watching Hendrix finally be chosen after choosing her career for years was beautiful. She didn’t have to change her dreams and aspirations for a relationship. They both made adjustments and met each other wherever they were needed. The way she handled her mother’s Alzheimer’s with so much grace and understanding was top tier. Her Aunt stepped in and did everything she could to make sure Hendrix’s life was as stress free as possible. I also loved the updates on Soledad and Yasmin—their friendship stayed strong through all three books. This is easily a top 5 read of 2025 for me!

The past few years I have been loving Kennedy Ryan‘s Skyland series. Now the trilogy ends with Can’t Get Enough, Hendrix’s story. Career-focused and confident, Hendrix isn’t willing to sacrifice her goals for a man. But when she meets Maverick, a tech mogul, she needs to consider whether being with him is worth risking a deal for her client. Can she have it all despite the odds?

What I Liked:
- Hendrix and Maverick are equals. Yes, he’s a tech mogul who’s close to becoming a billionaire, but Hendrix holds her own as a successful agent for entertainers. Hendrix doesn’t need anyone, and she’s not going to give up her career for a man, but I love how she finds an equal in Mav. He respects her and doesn’t want to ever cage her in.
- Not wanting to have children. Hendrix doesn’t have or ever want children, and I appreciate seeing this choice shown with honesty and care. Not everyone wants kids, and that is 100% okay. Maverick already has an 18-year-old daughter and doesn’t want any more kids; he and Hendrix are on the same page and she’s not ever shown in a negative light for wanting to remain childfree.
- Caring for a parent with Alzheimer’s. Hendrix’s mom has Alzheimer’s and can no longer live alone. Although Hendrix’s aunt moves in with her little sister, Hendrix is still very present for her mom. Watching her go through something so difficult is heartrending. It’s difficult and brought tears to my eyes, and I love how it’s presented throughout the novel.
- Women friendship. As with the first two Skyland books, Hendrix has true sisterhood with Yazmine and Soledad. They support each other through everything and can always rely on one another.

Audiobook:
Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem narrate as Hendrix and Maverick. Both capture the accents, inflections, and emotions perfectly. From humor to sadness, the book is amplified in this audiobook format. It makes the novel that much more impactful.

Final Thoughts
Can’t Get Enough is another win in the Skyland series. Like the previous two books, it offers so much emotion, a full and complicated life, and a romance that fits into everything else. The characters feel well-rounded and nuanced, with strong family relationships, friendships, and the romantic relationship. Kennedy Ryan has become one of my favorite authors and I’ll be reading all of her other books.

Many, many thanks to the folks @ReadForeverPub, @NetGalley and @HachetteAudio for the Audiobook

This audiobook was perfection in capturing such an epic culmination to this series! Gather your ears and hearts for this audio experience.

The narrators offered depth of character, emotions, all the feels always present in a Kennedy Ryan book. The quality and experience was reflective of the story and brought it to life without question.

Kennedy's writing gives us all the feels while tapping into themes very relevant of the times and the narrated audiobook complimented this story well.

happy listening!

Whew… this book right here? Had me in my feelings from start to finish. I’ve been looking forward to Can’t Get Enough and it did not disappoint. From the author’s note at the beginning (read by Kennedy herself—iconic), I knew I was about to be pulled in deep.

This is more than just a romance. It’s about caregiving, grief, friendship, legacy, love, God’s timing, and trusting yourself through hard seasons. Hendrix is THAT woman—ambitious, loyal, trying to juggle everything while taking care of a parent and still showing up for herself and the people she loves. And Maverick? Listen. That man right there? Whew. The way he sees her, supports her, pursues her with intention? Grown.

The chemistry was giving. The sisterhood was beautiful. The storytelling was emotional and real. I laughed, cried, had moments where I had to pause the audio just to sit with what I heard. It’s honestly one of those books where I don’t want to say too much because I truly believe everyone deserves to experience it fresh.

The narration? Top tier. Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem ate. They brought the characters to life and made it feel like I was living inside the story.

Also—don’t skip the end. The author’s note had me in tears again. Kennedy Ryan always weaves in truth, social justice, and heart, and this was no different. She doesn’t just write stories, she writes purpose.

Definitely one of my favorite reads this year. If you haven’t read the other two Skyland books, please go back and treat yourself.

Kennedy Ryan is so thoughtful in how she crafts her stories. This is yet another story in the Skyland Series. I’ve recently discovered them and have now listened to the second and third, since the first in the series had such a long wait on Libby. I just love how strong and resilient Hendrix is and how she stays so true to herself. She’s navigating her mom’s recent diagnosis with Alzheimer’s/Dementia, her attraction to a man who is off limits, and her career. The narrators did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. I enjoyed listening to both of them. I also enjoyed the author’s notes at the end. This book isn’t just romance, but also navigates difficult topics.

Thanks NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the opportunity to listen to this book prior to publication.

It took me a little while to write this review because this book was a little personal to me. As of right now, I lost my grandma 12 years ago to cancer. She also had dementia. Add on to that, my aunt-in-law is currently in the beginning stages of this disease as well. This was so hard to read, but also so necessary.

I say that it was a necessary read because I have felt so much guilt with not being around as much as I could have been with my grandma. I felt a lot of some of the same things that Hendrix did. Granted I was away in college back then, but I always felt like I could have done so much more. But I also know it wasn’t really much I could do. There isn’t a cure and there’s not much any one person can do to help them. Hendrix helped me heal a part of me I didn’t know still needed that permission to feel better. Hendrix living her life and knowing that her mom would have wanted that for her made me cry happy tears. I spent a lot of my time cheering her on. Her mom is further along than my aunt, but at the same time, seeing her forget things in real time and just knowing that everything I just saw in this book is also some of the same things I saw my aunt do had me in tears.

The characters were my favorite part of this book tho. Hendrix was my favorite throughout the entire rest of the series, and I’m so happy to say she was just the same in this one. I was so happy that she got her happy ending. She deserved to be and feel seen. Maverick was the one who impressed me tho. He saw that she didn’t need saving, but just needed someone to SEE her and to help her. She needed someone she could learn from and trust, and he more than rose to the challenge.

The romance was cute tho. I was in awe with the way Maverick loved her. Just like the synopsis says, Maverick “pursued her, spoiled her, understood her” and there was no lie told. Usually I’m not a fan of millionaire romances because I don’t like the way they just throw money around to get what they want, which sometimes includes the love interest. But this one wasn’t like that. He spoiled her yeah, but it was with like flowers. Nothing that forced her to give an answer. It was pretty sweet to me. And omg the spice! I knew that Hendrix was going to be the ONE, but that closet? I gave Mav a little round of applause after that lol They were hot together and I thought they really complimented each other.

The friend thing was another layer to this one, but I was glad it turned out the way it did. This just felt more realistic. I hate to say that, especially since you know being a girl’s girl, but it is actually more realistic than being besties after something like that. Especially considering where they were in the relationship. I think it worked out for the best.

The ending was what I didn’t like. The thing that happens at their job was like an after thought. I wanted more there I think. Like since we brought it up could we have another scene in the court room? Could there be more of what happened to either one of them there? It just felt a little thrown on there so we could come to a stopping point. It made it seem like it didn’t actually need to be there at all.

This book was so much more than what I expected. I cried, I laughed, I swooned, I went through almost every emotion when i was reading this. I should have known this would be the case when I read another Kennedy Ryan book, but here we are. And let me tell you, I wouldn’t change it for anything. Now excuse me while I sit here on pins and needles and wait for the Skyland show to come out!!!!

I want to start off saying how much I loved this narration. I think both the male and female narrators really did an amazing job in to bringing the characters alive. I wasn’t super obsessed with this book but the audiobook kept me going. This follows Hendrix who is a business women and does a lot of good for her community. Then we have Maverick who is a self made billionaire businessman. They meet at a party that Maverick is hosting with his “ex girlfriend”. Hendrix does a lot of work with Zere, his ex. There is a bit of a forbidden theme throughout the book. It goes back and forth on whether or not it’s okay if they are together. Unfortunately for me the way they got together wasn’t my favorite which is why I didn’t love the story as much. Kennedy writing is so descriptive and entertaining so I will be reading more from her in the future.

5⭐ 2🌶️

I can’t get enough of Kennedy Ryan’s Skyland series! No, literally, this isn’t enough. I’m ugly crying at the fact that this story (and the entire series) was so beautifully written and that we’re closing the chapter on our trio of friends. Yasmen, Soledad, and Hendrix are the ULTIMATE friend group and while we definitely saw so much of this in the first two books, watching Yas and Sol reciprocate all of the love and devotion Hen poured into their stories during this final installment truly touched my heart even further.

Hendrix truly spoke to my soul. I loved watching her drive and determination, while also getting intimate looks into her fragile and overwhelmingly generous heart. She was always thinking of how she could best serve others, from book one until now, and I am ecstatic that she finally allowed others to serve her while still maintaining her badass independent sense of self. It was beautiful watching her navigate all of the difficult situations with grace and class while still ensuring that she maintained her self-worth.

Maverick may be one of the only billionaires I’ll give the time of day. While billionaire romance is typically not my thing, Mav was the epitome of book boyfriend dreams come true. I loved how truly devoted he was to Hen…in all ways. He was there to catch her every time there was a stumble, yet still took care to ensure that she kept her independence and confidence in knowing she could handle herself. And his never ending generosity was the cherry on top. He was the perfect balance of confidence, luxury, gratitude, and humility.

As always, Kennedy also brought the feels. Watching Hendrix navigate her mother’s illness, along with all our side plots of grief and healing, broke my heart. I loved that Mav and Hen had each other to lean on as they explored their deep connection related to this disease and my heart strings were yanked more than once. It felt real, raw, and relatable and was approached with such care and delicate hands. The author's note prior to reading gave me a good tear up as well and hearing it from Kennedy’s own perspective was such a vulnerable and powerful touch.

And the political commentary and ending author’s note? Yes. A thousand times. I loved Hendrix standing by her morals and fighting for Aspire. And Mav’s reaction to the controversy? Perfection. Be sure to read the ending author’s note for more on this as well because Kennedy was on fire when she wrote it. Truly.

I absolutely adored the audio, which was as always fantastically narrated. Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem did an incredible job bringing Maverick and Hendrix to life and I truly think their performance gave this just a little extra.

In my head, I know Skyland is over. But in my heart, I don’t want to leave these beautiful characters and am shamelessly begging for shorts in the future to give us glimpses into how our favorite friends are faring in life. Truly, I’d read their grocery lists (especially Sol’s) if Kennedy wrote them. But all jokes aside, this was the perfect ending to an incredible series and is an absolute can’t miss.

I listened to the audiobook early✨THANK YOU @hachetteaudio & @readforeverpub for the ALC✨ it was EVERYTHING I hoped it would be…and more! A masterpiece honestly!

Kennedy Ryan tells stories with so much heart and emotion-it’s impossible not to get completely absorbed into the writing and attached to these characters. Her stories are always real, raw and passionate and this latest book is such a testament to her strength as a writer.

She never fails to handle difficult topics with such extreme care and she never fails to make me cry in her books…but also laugh, swoon, giggle and kick my feet and fall completely in love with her characters.

The audiobook- A BILLION STARS ✨✨✨ Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem put their souls into this performance and you have to experience Hendrix and Maverick via audio. You can feel the heart, passion, tension, sadness…all the emotions through their narration.

If this isn’t on your TBR already, add it now and thank me later!

Thank you so much to Hachette Audio/Libro.fm for the gifted audiobook, and to Forever for the ARC via NetGalley! These are my honest thoughts.

WHAT A CONCLUSION TO THIS SKYLAND SERIES. I'll be honest and say that I was a little nervous for Hendrix's story, as the fun, solo gal in this trio of friends with lives and kids and complications, but Hen's story ended up being so authentic and real. Per usual, Kennedy Ryan brought me TO MY KNEES with the character development, capturing my heart with everything Hendrix has going on, and then adding in the REAL man, Maverick, to be her counterpart.

The thing I love most about this story is the flaws. It's messy, like real life, and it brings both comfort and peace to know that the world around us and within us can be captured and communicated through romance stories. I love that Ryan brings voice to topics that need her to tell its story, from autism, to affairs, and in Hen and Mave's case, dementia/Alzheimer's and elderly care. Plus, add in the complexity of their history as a race, and the way in which black people in the United States are still fighting for their human rights day in and day out... I get to walk a mile in someone else's shoes in these stories, and I know in my soul that this makes me more compassionate and empathetic towards others and their experiences, but it also calls me to action.

This series is heavy, but in the most beautiful, heartbreaking, healing way. I'm so glad Hendrix got to finish us out with a man who made vulnerable, loud choices for the things he loves. I love a down bad man who will take on anything in the world for his woman, and that's exactly who Maverick is. And still, Hendrix is a strong, independent individual with so much dream and hope and live for all on her own. I loved that Hendrix was a little bit shy about stepping into a relationship, because she wanted to still be able to chase her dreams, but she didn't let those fears stop her. She stepped up and figured out how to have all the things in life she wants. We need more of that kind of example.

Five stars. The audio was fantastic. It brought this raw element of the story to life, and both narrators brought a culture to life with their performance. I never wanted to press stop, and that's the best sign of an amazing audiobook.

This complete my whole life!! I couldn’t wait for Hendrix’s story, and it was well worth the wait! Can’t Get Enough is a beautifully written romance that dives deep into themes of healing, second chances, and vulnerability. Kennedy Ryan does it again - crafting complex, authentic characters whose chemistry and emotional journey feel both powerful and real. This story offers a perfect blend of passion and poignancy. It’s a compelling read that stays with you long after the final page. I already can’t wait to read it again! And the narrators are the BEST to ever do it. They make the story feel so real, and leaves you wanting more.

Hell yeah, Kennedy Ryan has done it again! I love this series so freaking much! I love these characters and their relatability, their lives, relationships, you name it! Everything about this was perfection!

For me, Kennedy Ryan really can do no wrong with this series. She has done such a lovely job of tackling really difficult topics while also showing lightheartedness, romance, fun. I love the focus on women’s empowerment and strong female friendships. I didn’t love this book as much as I absolutely adored the first two, but I still really enjoyed this! Both narrators were fantastic and did a wonderful job portraying depth and emotion in the characters. Highly recommend this series! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

Thank you @hachetteaudio for the digital ALC. ‧₊˚⊹ Felt lucky to read this early with buddy reading friends!

♡ I love this series with my whole heart. The banter had me rolling. The romance is steamy, the tension palpable.

It’s more than just another romance book. This is a book about friendship, about community, about women supporting women, about grief and loss and love.

This book confronts and brings to light very current, very real social issues such as so-called reverse racism and reverse discrimination. Kennedy is never afraid to go beneath surface level. And I 👏🏽 am 👏🏽 here 👏🏽 for it!

🎧 The dual POV audio narration alternating between Hendrix and Mav was on point.

Pick this one up — releasing May 13th. You do not have to read the priors, although if you do, you’ll recognize many of the side characters that we know and love 💕

Oooowwwwweeeee that was a spicy book 🌶️ 🥵. I don’t recall the other 2 in the series being quite that spicy!

I have really enjoyed Kennedy Ryan’s previous two novels in the Skyland series and was excited to get an advanced copy of the latest! I think it was actually my favorite of the three.

I really enjoyed Hendrix and Maverick and their chemistry! Hendrix was a complex character and I liked that this felt like more than a fluffy romance (although I love those too). Hendrix is dealing with a mother with dementia as well as still healing from the grief of losing her father to an accident.

I also really enjoyed reading about Maverick’s lavish lifestyle- it’s always fun to envious having a cook or a house in Malibu! I did feel like Maverick was way too perfect- the guy could have used a flaw or two.

Overall, I enjoyed this one but it did feel a little too long and at times a bit cheesy. But a solid book that I’d recommend! I loved the narrators as well.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

Kennedy Ryan gave us the story we've been waiting for. Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem delivered the narration Hendrix deserved.

I appreciate the time the author took to research this topic, including real life stories. I really appreciated how Hendrix found love in the midst of taking care of her mom while also running her business. Having taken care of my mom I could fully relate to Hendrix. I found love while taking caring of mom. Like Maverick, my husband came right in to help without complaint. Kennedy Ryan tackled Alzheimer's with care and I'm grateful.

I enjoyed the relationship between Hendrix and Maverick. I liked seeing them grow into it. The situation with Zere was handled delicately. While neither Hendrix or Maverick did anything wrong, they both took her feelings into consideration before going public. I am glad Zere's story arc wasn't long and drawn out.

One of my favorite moments was with Maverick and Hendrix's mom. The way he took time just to talk with her and help her get back to gardening was heartwarming.

I'm sad to see the series end but at the same time this was the perfect farwell to Yasmine, Soledad and Hendrix.

Thank you NetGalley for the ALC. I am leaving a voluntary review.

I found it hard to fall into this story, it took me a while to get into the plot and get the characters but once it got going I was really hooked. There was a wide range of characters in the story and they all had uniqueness and charm to them that really had you hooked in. The romance was was really sweet, and well thought through.

I really appreciated the Alzheimer's storyline - it felt authentic and not forced for the story. It was well explained, educational and didn't feel 'cheap' like I've seen other illnesses used in books (It is a pet peeve when illnesses feel chucked into a story to do nothing more than to heighten emotions or 'twist' the plot. Kennedy Ryan put a character with an illness to help educate, not move the story along. Thank you Kennedy Ryan!)

The performance of the story was also amazing - Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem really bought the characters to life and helped enhance the story telling! I would definitely recommend listening to the story!

Thank you for the Audio ARC!
