🤯 This book was mind-blowing. I have all the feels, and I just don't know how to get them all out. This was a masterpiece. I can't get enough of Kennedy Ryan

I was first introduced to Hendrick when I was lucky enough to get a copy of This Could be Us and her story did not disappoint. I found her story relatable, compelling, compassionate, and unforgettable.

This was my 9th Kennedy Ryan Read. I DEVOURED this book.

Kennedy did what she does best! The way she was able to mix emotional familial drama with a risky, sexy, forbidden billionaire romance in one book??? I don’t think anyone else could have pulled this off so seamlessly. I can see some people not liking the way Hendrix and Maverick meet, but I enjoy a little messiness in a romance! I also appreciated that the setting was a bit different and not primarily in the Skyland neighborhood. The epilogue was beautiful and provided a wonderful close to the series.

No one writes female friendships like Kennedy and the way they have as much impact on our characters as the love interest is truly a Ryan signature I appreciate.

And as always, Ryan shows a side of womanhood that is often overlooked. In this book, that’s a woman who doesn’t want kids and normalizing that conversation.

Wishing I could read this work of words all over again. The story of Hendrix and Maverick is a soul stirring, feel good, kind of love. This story hit close to home as I am caring for aging parents.

Kennedy Ryan has mastered the magic of penning black love. Would love a novella of the assistants from this novel with sprinkles of the other couples. Well done, Kennedy! I will read you forever.

Book 3 in the Skyland series was one of my most anticipated 2025 reads, so I was super excited to get this ARC!

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about this series is the bond and friendship between the three FMCs. Hendrix is the confident and dependable friend who spoils her BFFs children and is child-free-by-choice. I love that this series has main characters in their late 30s/early 40s, so they are mature and more self-assured. Kennedy Ryan excels at developing strong FMCs. Hendrix is the queen of knowing herself and what she wants/doesn’t want. She is a hyper-independent badass who is used to pouring into her goals, career, and love for her family and friends but is not used to letting others take care of her.

When Maverick comes into her life, she has to decide whether she is willing to take a risk for herself. On page, we really feel the attraction between Hen & Mav. We’re constantly told that they have such a strong emotional connection, but that seemed to develop during their off-page interactions. I really wanted to feel the “deep connection” but, unfortunately, that feeling never came.

Overall, I would say that I enjoyed the first two books in the series more than this one, but this was still a good solid read.

Thanks to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) & NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I LOVE Kennedy Ryan and her Skyland series SO much! These women have my whole heart and I feel like I know and love them as if they were my friends. I got all teary at the end, just beautiful.

Ryan weaves the most dynamic characters in present day without a third act breakup. She shows how the world around them (ours) is difficult to navigate. This contemporary romance book talked about Alzheimer’s, systematic inequities of marginalized people, and yearning for something your partner does not wish for.

I swear. Kennedy Ryan does not miss.. This was an amazing conclusion to the Skyland series and I loved Hendrix and Maverick. Very grown. Very sexy. Very sweet in touching on subjects like caring for parents, etc.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sending me an arc of this novel.

Unfortunately, this one wasn’t for me. The topic of Alzheimer’s was a bit triggering for me, I thought I could handle it but with recently having my own family member have it, it brought me back to the moments with her and it was hard. Besides that, I felt like I just couldn’t connect with this installment of the series and it makes me sad. I’m hoping in the future to pick this book up again when I’m able and fully prepared.

Overall, the writing is wonderful as always and I believe so many readers will enjoy this book about Hendrix! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this!

ALL THE STARS!!!! I don’t know how it’s even possible but I’ve loved each book in this series more than the last and Can’t Get Enough is my favorite yet!!!!

Sometimes the hardest reviews to write are for the books that I love the most. Telling you the plot alone doesn’t do justice for how amazing this was and you can find that in the synopsis. So I’ll just say this - this is a romance and the love story is so swoony but this is also a LIFE story. This is Hendrix living her full life and pouring herself into her job, her friends, her family and ultimately her relationship. I loved every second of this book and am only sad to be finished. Go read this book!!! Thank you Forever for the free ebook to review.

“Let’s hear it for the GIRL!” Per usual, Kennedy Ryan did not disappoint! This third book in the Skyland series continues to explore the heartfelt themes of love, loss, healing, and hope Kennedy is known for. I love how artfully Kennedy Ryan introduces current events within the context of the real lives of her characters, making them feel deeply personal rather than just background noise. She seamlessly weaves in social and cultural issues—whether it’s racial justice, healthcare disparities, or the complexities of caregiving—without it ever feeling forced or preachy. Instead, these events become integral to the characters' lived experiences, shaping their choices, struggles, and triumphs in ways that feel authentic and emotionally resonant.

In Can’t Get Enough, Ryan masterfully integrates discussions on aging, dementia, and the challenges of balancing personal and professional responsibilities while caring for a loved one. These aren't abstract issues; they are woven into Hendrix’s daily life, influencing how she navigates relationships, career decisions, and her own sense of self. It’s this level of realism that makes her books so compelling—you don’t just read about these issues, you feel them, because her characters live them just like so many of us do. In this novel, Ryan so masterfully and realistically depicts the nuances of a middle-aged, affluent, African American woman’s life. From her interactions with her girlfriends to work-life balance, to dating, to the intricacies of daily life caring for an aging parent—first from a distance, then up close while her aunt undergoes surgery—every detail is written with authenticity and emotional depth. Ryan’s ability to bring these elements into her storytelling not only deepens the emotional impact but also sparks important conversations. Her work is a testament to the power of fiction to reflect real life in all its beauty, pain, and complexity.

Spoiler-ish alert: That initial exchange between Hendrix and her mother in the kitchen…my word!!! It’s so poignant. So real. So raw. It’s powerful! Kennedy’s writing literally teleported me to a seat at the kitchen table. I could hear her mother cussing at her, see Hendrix’s reaction—the shock, the bewilderment, the sadness. It’s a gut-punch moment, one that brought me to tears as the weight of caring for an aging parent with dementia hit me like a ton of bricks. As the words leapt from the page, images of my own mother, who at 72 is showing signs of dementia, appeared in my mind’s eye.

Kennedy Ryan has once again delivered a novel that is both beautifully written and deeply resonant. Can’t Get Enough is an unforgettable story that lingers long after the final page. I highly recommend it! Although I’m saddened that it is the terminal book in the Skyland series, it was a magnificent ride….“Let’s give the girl a hand!” Grab your copy today!!

I know that when I read Kennedy Ryan the road to happily-ever-after will be an emotional, hard fought journey. CAN'T GET ENOUGH (Skyland #3) is no different. (PUB 05.17)

This is a raw, honest and hopeful story about Hendrix balancing her ambitious, driven nature while caring for an ailing parent. She has no time for love. Maverick is a moneyed mogul who immediately falls for Hendrix and bonds over their shared experience with alzheimer's/dementia. 
The writing was fabulous and it had me emotionally invested from page one. I experienced a wide range of emotions as I read but never felt manipulated. I found my eyes brimming with tears more than once. I was also fanning myself from the steam level. 
This is the third in the Skyland "series" and I enjoyed seeing characters return. You don't have to read them, but if you do you won't be disappointed. 

Thank you to @netgalley and @readforeverpub for the early copy.

WOW. Kennedy Ryan has done it again!! Can’t Get Enough is a masterclass in storytelling. This is a love story, yes—but it’s also a celebration of self-worth, mental health, and the kind of friendships that feel like home.

Hendrix is that girl—vibrant, independent, and unapologetically herself. Maverick Bell? A dream. Their chemistry is electric, but what makes this book unforgettable is the way Kennedy Ryan seamlessly blends passion, self-discovery, and the complexities of real-life struggles.

This book made me laugh, made me feel, and at times, made my heart ache. And when it all came together? Pure magic. If you’re a fan of swoon-worthy love stories that mean something, you need this book on your shelf!!

Thank you so very much to @netgalley and of course @readforeverpub for this ARC. I won’t be shutting up about this one anytime soon!!

Friends, preorder now—you don’t want to miss the conversation when this one drops!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A guarantee in life is picking up a Kennedy Ryan book and knowing you’re about to be put through the emotional wringer, but knowing she’s also going to fuel your soul and fill your heart with so many different forms of love.

Hendrix has always been the woman of the Skyland trio that I felt most pulled to. Her book reaffirmed that for me. Childless by choice, unwilling to settle for a mediocre partner, and content to spread her love and care to her people, be it family or found family. I admire her so deeply for a multitude of reasons. Her spirit, her confidence, her integrity, her drive, her capacity for love. She is an amazing woman. She is handling incredible challenges as her mother’s Alzheimer’s progresses and she has to also balance her everyday life, and she does it all without shying away or backing down. It’s not easy and she’s not perfect, but she shows up and faces the hard times.

It’s only right that a man of excellence finds her. Maverick is unquestionably that. A man prepared to be a true partner to the right woman for him. A man who sees everything Hendrix is and is drawn to all of her. The two of them are magnetic from the first moment they meet. Mav is good with his words, but even better is that he follows it up with action. He shows up. He supports. He believes in Hendrix and all she is capable of. He wants her to have it all, and he wants to be the one by her side while she goes after it. Their love is beautiful.

And speaking of beautiful love, I cannot end this review without once again stating how absolutely gold standard the bonds of female friendship are in this series. Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmen are the true love story woven throughout this entire series.

Thank you to Forever via NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Kennedy Ryan simply does not miss! I’ve loved the entire Skyland series, but I was easily most excited to hear Hendrix’s story. Hendrix is a vivacious, ambitious, and immensely generous woman who is balancing her fabulous rich auntie mogul life with her newfound caregiver role. With so many obligations, Hendrix is not looking to be swept off of her feet until that’s exactly what happens. Mysterious and decisive Maverick, a budding billionaire, meets Hendrix in passing but they find themselves increasingly entangled in each other’s orbits. This was a passionate love story with super relatable perspectives as each of them weigh the risks of surrendering to an engulfing love that neither of them were looking for. Don’t walk—RUN to get this book!! New fave!

Thank you @readforever for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review! I was over the MOON when I received this ARC from Forever. Kennedy Ryan is an all time favorite author of mine, with Before I Let Go being one of my favorite books of all time. This series has always had a hold on my heart, and I just adore Kennedy;s passion, character development, storylines, and confronting difficult topics. This one did not disappoint- I loved getting to read and fall in love with Hen and Mav, and true to form, was rooting for her characters until the very end. She also always sheds light on important topics, and we love a strong female who uses their voice for change. Thank you Kennedy, it was a pleasure as always.

Favorite Quote:
“We work harder and shine brighter to survive.”

One thing Kennedy Ryan always delivers on is a little mess, a little drama, a little spice. There is no miscommunication trope here— every conflict is layered and deep and keeps me reading to figure out how tf they’re going to figure this out and end up together. I'm assuming this is the last book in the series and though it didn't hit quite as hard for me as the other two books, I still found myself teary eyed at times. Hendrix's story was so much deeper than just a romance, and the storyline with her mom was so heart-wrenching.

OMG if you aren't reading the Skyland series by Kennedy Ryan, what are you even doing with your life?!? When I tell you I couldn't wait to get my hands on Hendrix's story...and Can't Get Enough did NOT disappoint.

Hendrix is an independent businesswoman who is working hard to grow her business. Meanwhile, she is also dealing with the pressure of having a mom with Alzheimer's living out of state. Thankfully, her Aunt has offered to live with her, but that doesn't assuage the guilt Hendrix feels for not being able to be there as much as she wants.

Enter Maverick (my new book boyfriend), a billionaire business mogul whom she should NOT fall in love with. Not only could it pose problems for her business life, but she doesn't have the time for romance with all that is happening in her life. However, life has other plans for her when it comes to Maverick...

The struggle that Hendrix is dealing with during Can't Get Enough is so well written and you can't help to feel for her. Maverick is the most amazing man, and my favorite love interest in the Skyland series. I can't possibly recommend this book and the series enough. Kennedy Ryan has create one of the best series I have ever read and has become one of my auto-buy authors. Don't miss out on this book or any of her other work!

As this comes to a close and read the last page, I felt a type of fullness you can only get from a Kennedy Ryan book. I closed the book and went from wanting to drag one character by her wig because the audacity you have sweetie , kicking and giggling 🤭 my little feet & in tears 😭 like Ms. Ryan why are you taking through these emotion like this?!!

Maverick is the epitome of an acts of service man. He is a I’ll show you better than I can tell you. That right. THERE. Lawd. He knew he needed to earn and such a risk taker written in his DNA 🧬 She was the gamble that that he knew would be the best risk be’d ever take even if Hendrix didn’t didn’t think so at first. Now, how did Maverick slide his self as one of my favorite of the Ryan universe men and he neck and neck with Josiah (for different reasons). I’m not choosing between them.

My girl, HENDRIX GIRL. The way I related to her in many ways and the amount of ways I relate to her as she childfree by choice. The amount of times I have to explain why I choose to be childless & guess what after this, no one else is getting an explanation. From the heavy weight and care it takes to be a caretaker and having those good and bad days in whatever capacity that may be and having someone to lean on. But the amount of quotes I underlined. The female friendship between Hendrix, Yasmin and Soledad just *chef’s kiss* and everything I need and wanted and healed a part of me. This book made me felt seen and heard.

5 freakin' stars! Kennedy Ryan has done it again! I absolutely DEVOURED this book! Her characters are incredible and filled with such depth that you cannot help but get attached! I literally felt evey emotion possible while reading this book. The spice wasn't bad either!;p I highly recommend this series!

The side of Hendrix we are shown in this story is not the same Hendrix I had in mind. Based off how she was in the other two books from the Skyland series. In the other two books, I perceive her to be funny, a good time, with rich auntie vibes. In Can’t Get Enough we do get rich auntie vibes, a glimpse of her being a good time. With a little razzle dazzle of her being funny. I feel like majority of her character is centered around her dealing with the new challenges of being a caretaker. A boss lady, elevating into higher positions. As well as Hendrix trying to navigate hard emotions stemming from different aspects of her life.

While Ryan did come forth with her usual great writing, spicy vibes, and realistic romance. This one did not do it for me. Kennedy always has a realistic layer present in her romances. In this one it is Alzheimers. Hendrix mom has been newly diagnosed and has moved into caretaker role for her mother. I think she did a great job covering this topic, I think many will be able to relate. Also to learn from it if they are now one who has to experience such things. This is also a forbidden romance, realistic. Which gave me ick vibes for a moment, due to it being a sticky situation. It wasn’t entirely a breaking girl code situation, but it low key was. Definitely a 50/50 debate lol

The overall romance aspect between Hendrix and Maverick I did enjoy. Kennedy always comes through with the nice amount of spice and the spice scenes are always giving. Their vibe is rich auntie with a billionaire daddy. Maverick is single father to a teenager who does not want anymore children. Hendrix is rich auntie who does not want children at all.

The story was not bad at all. I felt like most will enjoy. I just wasn’t rocking with her story like the other two. I also feel like Hendrix description and vibe does not match the woman on the cover.
