Kennedy Ryan has done it again (to no one’s surprise)!

Maverick Bell the man that you are! Hendrix, the woman!! I loved everything about this book. The narration was also fantastic as per usual.

Thank you to Hachette Audio and NetGalley for the ALC!

Omg, I can't begin to express how much I'm loving this book, the characters and their romance. The narration really takes this to the top most level, thank you, Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem for bringing these people to life - because through your masterful interpretation, they really feel like people, jot just fictional characters.

I'm loving all the relationships in the book. While this is very much a romance, so the love story takes front and centre stage - as it very well should - what Kennedy Ryan does so well is write well-rounded support characters, mum or dad, friends as they might be. The book deals with some heavy topics, such as gradually losing a loved one to Alzheimer's, or trying to make your own way through life, but does so with a kind and deft touch.

I'm only 70% through, but I just couldn't wait to recommend it to everyone out there who loves romances, but especially to Kennedy Ryan fans. I'm really looking forward to finishing this up tomorrow

Absolutely Incredible!

Overall Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Thank you to Hachette Audio and Forever Publishing for providing me with an ALC of this book through NetGalley. I am reviewing it voluntarily and all opinions are my own.

Where do I begin? I've been waiting for Hendrix's book ever since I first met her in Before I Let Go. Can't Get Enough didn't just meet my expectations. It exceeded them. Just like the first two in the Skyland series, I was treated to a rich banquet of emotional experiences-joy, swooning, grief, uncertainty, anger, triumph, and ultimately hope. Ryan knows how to get readers (and listeners) in their feelings, and this one moved me to tears several times.

Narrators Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem gave amazing performances, pouring their hearts and souls into Hendrix and Mav's story. This is my first time listening to either of them but as an audiobook girlie, I definitely want to check out more of their work.

As is the case with the other two Skyland books, Can't Get Enough perfectly balances romance and the journey to happily ever after with serious topics such as caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's and legal challenges to Affirmative Action. Many romance novels provide readers with an escape from the real world, which I absolutely love and think is so valid and needed! But this series offers something different-fresh perspective on the challenges the real world presents, one that lifts the soul and provides comfort, understanding, and empowerment.

I also appreciated the childfree by choice rep in this as a woman in her thirties who has yet to have children and may not ever want to do so. The narrative validates Hendrix's choice so beautifully, making it clear that a desire not to have children doesn't make you any less valid as a woman or any less of a nurturer and caretaker to those around you.

And can we talk about the romance in this? I'm not usually one for billionaire romance, but I will happily make an exception for this book and for the incredible man known as Maverick Bell. The way he pursues, cares for, and supports his woman is absolutely chef's kiss. Can't Get Enough is easily the spiciest of the Skyland books, which fits Hendrix's story and personality perfectly. I loved watching her walls gradually come down as she allowed herself to be vulnerable and trust Mav.

While I am sad that this is the end of the Skyland books, I'm also so excited to read some of Ryan's back catalog, which is something I'm ashamed to say I've been slacking on. Planning to fix that VERY soon!

Thank you to Hachette Audio and NetGalley for the ALC of this beautiful book!

Kennedy Ryan writes such REAL stories. She writes things the way they are, not in fairy tale forms and that's what I love about her novels. Hendrix is an empowered woman that doesn't NEED a man but deserves one to sweep her off her feet. I appreciate that about Kennedy's writing as well. Her women stand on their own and empower themselves.

I spent this book kicking my feet, giggling and swooning over Mav. He is so sure of himself, so confident, and so swoon worthy! Hen is a strong, powerful and confident woman, so it's a match made in heaven. This book hits HARD topics but manages to do so without feeling too heavy. I can't wait to read any and ALL Kennedy Ryan books.

Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem's audio were phenomenal narrators, and I will be adding them to my list of favorite narrators after listening to this book. Siobhan had me cackling with her reading of Hendrix and her friends, and Jakobi had me melting with the way he voiced Mav.

4.75/5 stars, rounded up to 5 stars!

Can't Get Enough follows the story of Hendrix, an accomplished businesswoman who is always striving for more. Her goals keep her too busy to go looking for love, that is, until tech mogul Maverick walks into her life. The only problem, Maverick is the ex-boyfriend of one of Hendrix's business partners.

I cannot praise Kennedy Ryan enough for this entire series. She writes mature romances that feel so real and complex. Her characters are always excellent, but especially her female characters. Female friendships are always at the forefront of her novels and it just brings me so much joy.

The third installment of this series was amazing. Hendrix is such an inspiring character, and Maverick was absolutely the perfect balance for her. The author expertly weaves in tough topics throughout the book that really pull on your heartstrings. Parts of the book include references to attacks on organizations helping to uplift marginalized business owners, which felt very timely and were written in such an authentic way.

Hendrix is also childless by choice, which I absolutely love to see in a romance book.

The narrators of the audiobook were fantastic and so engaging.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the ALC!

Kennedy Ryan has done it AGAIN! She is really one of my favorite authors. The stories and characters she writes are incredible and there is always so much emotion. This was the perfect book for me. I truly have nothing bad to say about this entire series. Just love!!!

Kennedy Ryan has created yet another heartfelt and beautiful love story. The way Hendrix and Maverick love each other is just breathtaking. I enjoyed this story so much and the narrators did such an amazing job portraying and bringing this story to life. Thank you so much for the opportunity to listen to this early.

i fucking love Skyland, this group of badass women and you too, Kennedy Ryan. this book is absolute pure gold translated into words on paper, or in my case narration in my ears. there was not a single part of this book that i didnt eat up- from page one i was hooked and knew this was going to leave me wrecked. While my earholes were rejoicing, my heart was aching- this one gave us a full range of emotions and i swooned, i whooped, i cried... seriously- this one has. it. all. KR writes the mose incredibly fierce women, not in a 'i'm gonna gut you with a sword' kind of fierce, but in a 'i'm intelligent, strong willed, and knwo my worth' kid of fierce, and these women aren't romances typical twenty something yound adults- they are established thirty something women and as a 36 year-old still trying to figure her own life out, i fucking love it. Hendrix and Maverick's story is one of strength, unwavering support, boldness, and relentless determination. It is also a story of sisterhood, family ties, the roots that make us who we are and who we want to be. I ate this one up and left zero crumbs. I love Yasmin, Soledad and Hendrix with my whole heart and will always recommend these books to anyone who will listen to be yap about them. If you haven't entered Skyland yet, what are you waiting for? they're perfect. Thank you NetGalley and Hachette Audio for the ALC, my earholes were rejoicing from the very first second.

I devoured this book during my road trip to Switzerland, and I couldn't be happier that I brought it along! It was such a captivating read, and I had some amazing discussions about it with my friends, who also read it with me. Huge thanks to both of them for sharing this journey with me!

This is the third book in the series about three friends, and every time I read one, I just melt. I still need to share my reviews for the previous books, but I couldn't wait to talk about this one.

I absolutely loved Hendrix. She was perfect—confident, successful, kind, and caring. Despite everything going on in her life, including her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s becoming her top priority, Hendrix handled it all with such grace and strength. I really admired her.

Then there’s Mav—successful, newly single, and incredibly attractive. The way their paths crossed was so compelling, but I don’t want to give too much away. Let’s just say the story kept me hooked, and by the end, I was completely blown away. It was absolutely five stars from me!

If you’re looking for a story that’s both heartwarming and real, this is the one. I highly recommend it!

I've seen so much praise for Kennedy Ryan's books but somehow, I've never actually read one. Can't Get Enough was incredible and I 100% understand why so many people rave about Ryan's work. I immediately added the rest of the Skyland series to my summer TBR.

Hendrix and Maverick are both top tier as individuals but watching their relationship shift and unfold was so good. Having watched my grandmother battle dementia and knowing the toll it took on my mom and her siblings, I was so appreciative of how Ryan approached this aspect of the story.

The narration was perfection; Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem absolutely crushed it.

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!!!!
