Thank you to NetGalley, Hachette Audio, and Kennedy Ryan for the advanced copy of Can't Get Enough.

"Can't Get Enough" by Kennedy Ryan is the third book in the Skyland series, focusing on Hendrix Barry, a successful businesswoman who seems to have it all.

From the outside, it looks like she's living the dream, but Hendrix is also dealing with the challenges of caring for her aging mother.

Hendrix is a woman with big goals and ambitions, always striving for more. With so much on her plate, romance is the last thing on her mind. In her experience, relationships haven't been worth the effort, and she hasn't met a man who can keep up with her drive. That is, until she meets Maverick Bell.

Maverick is a tech mogul with charm and confidence. From their first meeting, Hendrix feels a connection she's never felt before.

I have loved this series and I was excited for Hendrix's book. The three of them share such a special bond and I loved reading more about them and where they all were in their lives as well. Hendrix hasn't ever wanted kids and I was worried I wouldn't connect to this book because I am not in that mindset (I was in my twenties but things did change for me), but I really did love her character. She meets Maverick at a party and they have an instant connection. Maverick is just getting out of his past relationship, and it is with someone that works closely with Hendrix. Their relationship feels forbidden but Maverick will not give up.
Hendrix also has a lot to deal with with her mother. She is back and forth with her aunt trying to take care of her ailing mother and that was heartbreaking. Maverick is there every step of the way, catching her as she falls. He will do anything to show her that the connection they have is once in a lifetime and he won't stop till she gives him a chance.
I loved the first 50% of this book. It was exactly what I come to expect when I read a Kennedy Ryan book. It had so much heart and soul, but the last 50% fell off for me. I can't explain it other than their love felt really rushed and maybe it is the fact I am not a big fan of insta-love, but it felt like too much too soon. I also wish we would have gotten a little more about her mom than we did. I know the focus was the love story, and I appreciate that, but I wanted a little more of what was happening with that at times. I did love hearing the name drops of previous characters I know and love.
The narration was perfect, as always.
Thanks to Hachette, Netgalley and Kennedy Ryan for an ALC.

I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, but I have waited almost impatiently for Hendrix's story. She's successful and single with no children and is caring for an elderly parent with Alzheimer's. I identified in so many ways with Hendrix... single, successful, no children, and caring for an elderly parent. While our circumstances are not the same, I still felt every bit of joy and pain, happiness and guilt that Hen did.

Hendrix is a mover and shaker. She brings her clients' dreams to fruition, knows how to get a crowd going, and keeps her friend circle small and tight. She hasn't had the best of luck in the relationship department, but that's ok because she doesn't have the time to put into a relationship right now. Enter one Maverick Bell. He's successful in his own right, can be ruthless and cutthroat, and has his eyes on Hen. Except he's off-limits following the girl code. But there's no mistaking that Hen and Mav have a strong connection, not only because they've both had family members with Alzheimer's but also because they're both down to earth. I loved the relationship that Soledad, Yasmen, and Hendrix have built and sustained over the years. The support and love they have for one another is unmatched. I loved the dynamic between Mav and Hen. They knew when to push and when to back off. They were truly partners who sought out their dreams and worked to support each other. Add in the narrations by Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem and I was in heaven! The talented duo put me in heaven as I listened to this story of courage, compassion, and love. Both the author and narrators brought me to tears.

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

This final book in the Skyland series focuses on Hendrix, a fiercely independent and successful woman as she balances her thriving career, caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s, and a complicated connection with Maverick, a handsome mogul. The romance was certainly satisfying, with a delicious slow burn that builds into pure fireworks. Yet, what really stood out for me was the unapologetic portrayal of a woman with a full, joyful life that doesn’t include motherhood. That is a narrative not often found in contemporary romance, and it was deeply moving to see this kind of happily ever after. Kennedy Ryan continues to be one of my favorite authors and she certainly delivered with this one.

Kennedy Ryan’s Skyland series concludes with the force that is Can’t Get Enough. It is a beautiful depiction of familial love while also managing to tightrope the line of sexy and romantic. I’m sad to see this series end but the way Ryan wraps it up had me grinning from ear to ear.

I have been waiting for Hendrix’s story since book one, and I am thrilled with all of the nuance Wesleigh Siobhan brings to her narration. Hendrix has always presented herself as the fabulous, rich auntie and while she absolutely is those things, she is first and foremost a caring and concerned daughter. The relationship between Hendrix and her ailing mother was incredibly important to depict correctly, and I was blown away by all the details Siobhan added to her performance. You can hear the catch in her throat while she’s reading these sections, emotion bubbling to the surface. It felt like I was listening to a dear friend recount personal stories, a power you don’t always see in audio productions.

I knew Hendrix’s love interest would have to be formidable enough to win her over without holding her back and Maverick Bell was exactly that man! Jakobi Diem brought him to life expertly, imbuing the flirty edge I was hoping for, especially in the beginning while Maverick was winning Hendrix over. Diem and Siobhan were both able to lift the characters’ scorching chemistry off the page while accurately portraying the deeper connection they develop. I really enjoyed listening to both narrators and thought the audio listening experience elevated the story tenfold.

Thank you Hachette Audio and NetGalley for providing me with an ALC in exchange for my honest review!

The title of this book is a siren call to all romance readers today. We need more, we want more, we can't get enough. I read and loved the first two books in this series and I knew Hendrix would be my girl! She's the child-free "auntie" of the crew, always emphasizing her independence, business-mindedness, and carefree attitude. She's bold and lush, she cares for those she holds dear in her life, and she loves fiercely.

When a business venture puts Maverick in her life, she's not ready. The life she's grown to love becomes almost instantly turned on it side by a man who has sets his sights on her and is unrelenting in his pursuit of her. This man can't help himselfffffff and I needed that in this book. Hendrix is used to "being there" for people, so being pursued and loved on so generously by a man is truly something that she has to pause and learn to appreciate.

Woven into this story are moments of grief and adaptation that really endeared me to Hendrix. Her friendships, the found family dynamic that has been present in this series, helped pad some of the harder parts of Hendrix's life. These women are soulmates in their own way, and the smiles that their interactions put on my face were priceless.

And Maverick? He fights hard for Hendrix. He puts in the work, makes her his priority, and truly covets the moments they share. He's a breath of fresh air, and for characters that have become like family, I was happy that my girl Hendrix was safe with him.

Kennedy writes in such a way that you think the characters are your friends. I enjoyed this read so much and absolutely loved how she imparted real world issues into it. I don't have any personal experience with Alzhemiers but to hear it through Hen's eyes was enlightening.

Thank you to Netgalley and Hachette Audio for this gifted ALC.

5⭐️

Kennedy Ryan did it again—and somehow made it even better than I expected.

This book was absolutely perfect from start to finish. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I turned the last page. Her writing is always emotional, raw, and filled with so much heart, and this story was no exception.

Now let’s talk about Maverick—I need one of my own immediately. He didn’t just say he wanted Hendrix—he proved it, over and over. His actions spoke louder than any words. He was so persistent in the right way, showing up for her, taking care of her, loving her through everything. His devotion was exactly what Hendrix needed, and exactly what made me fall for him.

And Hendrix—what a beautiful, resilient character. Watching her navigate her struggles while still allowing herself to be loved felt so real. The way Kennedy wrote her pain, her growth, and her quiet strength was stunning.

This book had the perfect balance between the romance and Hendrix’s personal journey. Neither overshadowed the other—instead, they worked hand-in-hand to create a story that was both deeply emotional and swoon-worthy.

It was soft, heavy, healing, and powerful all at once. The chemistry, the care, the respect in their relationship—it all felt so authentic.

I laughed, I cried, I highlighted so many lines.

There aren't many people on this earth that I would trust with grief like this, but I think she might be the only the one.

I knew this one was going to be hard. Not that anything Ms, Ryan was going to write was going to be anything less than brillant. But I knew it was going to be hard because of the condition Hendrix's mother has and the implications of alzheimers, the loss of self, and the loss of a parent, even though they are right there. I tried to read it with my eyes, but I chickened out, and opted for the audio. (Which was an excellent choice becuase Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem are a the golden standard, and I can't imagine anyone else doing it.) This novel was written with so much love and care and although the subject matter may be hard for me to consume, it was expertly written and left no room for debate on whether these characters loved their parents.

Hendrix was everything an unbothered rich auntie should be! We've seen her in the other novels being the strong one and it feels only right to see her get her story. Maverick seems like a perfect fit. He knows what he wants, and he's made it very clear that it's her. Anything less would have felt wrong.

I will admit that after reading all three and feeling the enorimity of it all, I don't feel like I have the write words for it. The community, the kinship, and magic that she wove into these novels (and everything she writes lets be real) really leaves me in awe.

I feel like Ms. Ryan is really out here trying to heal us.

May she have a very blessed day.

Thank you to Forever and Netgalley for an early copy.

All of the stars for Can't Get Enough because once again Kennedy Ryan out did herself with this one.


Hendrix is such a woman of strength as she handles everything going on in her personal life and work life with such grace, but also using her voice to stand up for herself. Maverick knows what he wants and life and somethings he's not willing to sacrifice at all until the right woman comes into the picture. Hendrix and Maverick together was some of the sweetest moments I've read in a really long time, especially with the way he is there for her with things going on with her mom.

You will find yourself most definitely laughing but also crying while reading Can't Get Enough. This was such a great conclusion to the Skyland Series!

I was able to listen to an advanced audio copy and both narrators did such a wonderful job with Hendrix and Maverick. The way they conveyed the emotions of everything from the laughter to the sadness felt so raw and real.

This is my first by this author and I will certainly be back for more.

I always love it when a romance novel has more substance than just the romance. Hendrix (our FMC) is dealing with real issues. I enjoyed seeing her journey as she learns to adjust to her moms diagnosis. As someone who has worked with people suffering from memory loss I think that it was depicted so well. I received an audio arc and there was a message from the author stating how much she wanted to get it right and she truly did.

I also loved that Hendrix is a curvy goddess of woman and she owns it! I love her dynamic with her friends, her career, her family and her love interest. She was truly an amazingly well written character and I was rooting for her the entire time. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a romance novel so much and I believe it's because all of the characters are so well written.

Excuse me while I go consume everything else she's ever written....

Sorry I almost forgot to acknowledge our narrators! They did amazing, I would gladly listen to them again. Very easy to follow at increased speeds. They portrayed the emotions of the storyline perfectly.

🌟 First Impressions:
I don’t usually reach for romance novels, but Kennedy Ryan may have just changed that for me. Can't Get Enough was such a super cute, cozy romance that packed way more emotional depth than I expected.

✨ What I Loved:
Hendrix is the ultimate relatable main character—an ambitious, driven businesswoman navigating the emotional rollercoaster of her mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis. Watching her try to balance her career, her family responsibilities, and her growing feelings for Maverick was both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Maverick, the super successful billionaire business mogul, is such a refreshing love interest. Not only is he sexy and confident, but he’s also unwaveringly supportive. Despite Hendrix's many attempts to keep him at a distance—worrying about her career, her mother, and her own heart—Maverick is patient, persistent, and dedicated to proving that he’s exactly the kind of man she deserves.

💔 Themes That Hit Hard:
This wasn’t just a fluffy romance. Kennedy Ryan explored real, relatable themes like girl code, the delicate balance between ambition and love, and the realities of caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. It was incredible to see a romance that didn’t shy away from heavier topics, while still leaving room for joy, passion, and growth.

I also loved the exploration of body image and the way thicker women are often perceived, even by other women. Hendrix’s confidence and Maverick’s unwavering attraction to her were so refreshing to see.

🔥 Favorite Moments:

Maverick refusing to back down in his pursuit of Hendrix, despite her hesitations.

The way he stepped up to support her and her family, proving that he wasn’t just a temporary fling.

That emotional, tear-jerking ending that left me sobbing with joy.

🌶️ Spice Factor:
A little bit of heat, but the emotional tension stole the show for me. The chemistry between Hendrix and Maverick is undeniable, but their emotional connection is what truly made this story special.

💭 Final Thoughts:
This book was everything I didn’t know I needed in a romance. Kennedy Ryan has officially earned a spot on my auto-buy list. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves a romance with a perfect blend of sweetness, spice, and emotional depth.")

I would never be friends with Hendrix because her utter confidence and sharp mouth would have me far too intimidated.

Hendrix’s story is very different to the first two romances in this interconnected series. She doesn’t want children and is all about a good time.
She is HELLA independent.

I like that Kennedy portrays a range of women in her story, all dealing with different lifestyles, ambitions, and challenges.

If you have recently read Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez and felt touched by the Alzheimer’s plot, this is as eye-opening and heartrending. Especially when paired with such a vibrant personality as Hendrix.

Then we have our romantic interest: mouth-watering tech mogul Maverick Bell: knee-wobbling sexiness and charm.
It is obvious they belong to each other the first time they meet but the dynamics are awkward due to his ex and Hendrix’s business.

I think she definitely gets more creative in steamy scenes and this one will have your toes curling.

The plot does suddenly speed up as things start happening left, right, and centre in the last 13% which I think could have been paced better and spread out.
I also wish we got more of the female friendship because their interactions always make me cackle and are my favourite parts of these books.

Hendrix’s story is truly wonderful, incredibly powerful, and so full of heart and soul, that I know it will stay with me for many years to come! Hendrix is the kind of heroine I love to read about, and would love to call her a friend. She is smart, confident, funny, generous, and has a big heart. She loves and would do anything for her family and friends, but also needs them for support and grounding. When she is about to achieve a huge goal, she meets the first man who could be her match in everyway. Unfortunately he is off limits, or is he? Maverick is a charismatic billionaire Tech mogul. He feels a connection to Hendrix from the moment he laid eyes on her. No matter how hard she pushes him away, he works even harder to show her that he really sees her, and wants to be to her what she is to everyone else, support, warrior, comfort, and lover. But can she find the courage to be vulnerable with him when she needs the strength to take care of her aging mother? When complications arise for Hendrix, I loved how Maverick supported her and was there for her unconditionally. He was so swoony with his unending love and patience. He is definitely a sexy hero who will make your heart skip a beat! They are so perfect for each other and their chemistry is off the charts! I also love her relationship with her girlfriends who are so essential in each other's lives.
Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem's narration was phenomenal! Siobhan's brilliant delivery was so compelling, making me feel everything these characters think and experience. Diem's smooth, deep voice, and perfect inflections made Maverick come alive and made me swoon! Both narrators embodied these characters perfectly, allowing me to get lost in their performances.
Kennedy Ryan’s writing is absolutely exquisite. She writes with a deeply profound and insightful understanding and portrayal of people that is truly incredible, making me fall in love with every word. This third book in the Skyland series is another beautifully poetic, thought-provoking, emotional, and sizzling story that had me laughing, crying, and swooning from beginning to end!

Please note that I love the narrators and they did a fantastic job. However, they just couldn't carry me through some of the major problems I had with this book :( Honestly no one is more disappointed than me to give this book this low of a rating - I've LOVED the previous books in this series!

However, there were just too many key aspects that I couldn't turn my brain off for and bothered me throughout.
1. A self-made billionaire? Not only that, but a Black billionaire who makes his money off a marijuana investment? The same industry that has put so many Black men in prison?? I feel like this plot point was just NOT handled in any meaningful way.
2. Hendrix's choice to be child-free seemed to be framed as something to be fixed or changed, rather than a valid life choice. This is a lifestyle that is almost NEVER given representation much less respect in romance books, and I'm sick of it.

While this one was a flop for me, I will still keep an eye out for any other releases from Kennedy. But this gets a heavy side eye for sure.

I’ve loved the Skyland series so far and have been looking forward to this book. I can say Hendrix’s story does not disappoint! Kennedy Ryan is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors— there is so much depth to her romance and always an interwoven story of hardship, in this case Hendrix’s mother’s Alzheimer’s, that is handled with such thought and care.

Was this review helpful?

I loved the previous two books in the Skyland series so I was so excited about Hendrix' book! I enjoyed getting the updates from the other characters and seeing Hendrix get her own happy ever after! Just like the other two books, Hendrix' path isn't the classic cookie cutter romances, but more complicated and nuanced. Listening to the audio book, the male and female authors were so dynamic and engaging! I really enjoyed this story!

Was this review helpful?

A truly, truly underrated romance series in the online book spaces! The stories of these three women are so moving and inspirational and gripping to read about. Their friendship bond and their representation of women’s dreams and fears is what makes this series exceptional, not the romance itself. Each of them very different, this book follows Hendrix, a very extroverted, self-assured, confident, fiery woman on her career path, her journey with grief and having a family member diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and the question of how love (for a very sexy, and veeeery rich man) can or cannot fit into the busy life of an independent, driven businesswoman. Kennedy Ryan writes exceptional female characters that find solace first and foremost in their female friendships and only then venture out to let a man into their lives, when they have proven to be nothing but supportive, considerate and loving in their own right.
I listened to this as an audiobook and was impressed by both narrators’ talents to convey so many of the emotions and feeling that I would feel when reading the words and visually being consumed by the story as well. They were funny, witty, sultry, engaging and more at all the right scenes.

Really loved how book 3 brought the 3 lives together. Loved Hendrix love story and how her career goals intertwined with Mavericks. The introduction of the Alzheimer's was well done. The depiction of how the disease progresses was well incorporated into the story. Awesome narration! I hope there is a book 4 to update us on the lives of the 3 women!

Thank you to NetGalley, Hachette Audio & Kennedy Ryan for the chance to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

Beautiful representation of the painful experience of loving and caring for someone with any form of dementia. Absolutely looooved learning about the legal issues conservative groups are bringing to valiant causes.

This is only my second Kennedy Ryan read- in fact, I read This Could Be Us to prepare for this ALC- but just after these two I'm hooked. I love how she takes MINOR taboo connections (the man that essentially sent your husband to prison, the ex of a new business partner..) and makes you push those boundaries for real love. Also the friendships/found family is just DELIGHTFUL! I'm hooked

Narration was incredibly well done. I would definitely seek out stories by these narrators again!
