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.

This was another great book about a strong, smart and fierce black woman . This book made me laugh especially the parts between skipper and bolt , mad me crying about her dealing with a parent with Alzheimer’s (my dad had the disease and it brought back a lot of memories ) and she wrote about it beautifully. . If you like her books you won’t be disappointed

(Thank you to the publisher & NetGalley for the ARC) This pains me to say as I usually love this author but this is a DNF for me at 62%— so unbelievably bored of the back and forth and Zere.
I knew coming into it that Hendrix would be portrayed as a hard-working and ambitious woman, but didn’t think that’d be like 80% of her personality. Every single chapter has something work related.
I felt as though her and Maverick have no real depth together- yes they’re both ambitious and have a family member struggling with Alzheimer’s…what now?

Can’t Get Enough
by Kennedy Ryan
Pub Date: May 13, 2025

Can’t Get Enough is the final book of the Skyland series and it left me feeling absolutely complete! I was so deeply invested in Hendrix’s story that I experienced her joys, sorrows, and struggles as if they were my own.

This love story begins with the amazing Hendrix living her best life. She meets Maverick and their journey towards love is not perfect, not easy, but it is absolutely beautiful. I love how Kennedy Ryan’s romantic storylines are always raw and unapologetically realistic. Ryan shows the beauty in embracing your vulnerability through Hendrix’s experience of taking care of her mother who’s diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and her ability to let her guard down knowing it’s not a sign of weakness.

What I loved the most about Can’t Get Enough:

* Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmin’s fabulous sisterhood (Platonic Soulmates)
* Hendrix’s Mother and Father’s love story
* Hendrix’s Mother and Aunt’s church community and their overwhelming support
* The way Maverick pursued Hendrix and loved her just as she was
* Hendrix embracing being the rich Auntie

This was a perfect ending to The Skyland series! This novel definitely pulled at my heartstrings while exploring the loss of parents, Alzheimer’s disease, being properly loved, platonic soulmates, faith, and community.

I am so thankful to Forever (Grand Central Publishing), NetGalley, and the phenomenal Kennedy Ryan for the opportunity to read this highly anticipated ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my god, ALL THE STARS!!!!
Kennedy Ryan absolutely does it again and I am fully in awe of her. Her books never fail to make me just FEEL something and honestly that’s one of my favorite things about reading her books. I am a die hard Kennedy fan and forever will be.

Hendrix finally gets her HEA and it’s so very well deserved. She meets her match whenever she meets Maverick aka Mr. Black Billionaire Surfer Boy. He’s everything that Hendrix didn’t know she needed and she’s everything that he’s ever wanted. These two are absolutely perfect for each other. Kennedy put her heart and part of her soul into this story and you can feel it everytime you flip a page.
I wholeheartedly sobbed my way thru the epilogue for two reason. Number one, the girl group having their full circle moment was EVERYTHING I needed that I didn’t know I needed. Seeing these three girls makes me absolutely WEEPY. They’ve all been thru so much and now they have their men, their kids and most importantly they still have each other. (Here I am crying again) it just makes me incredibly happy to see. And number two, the proposal!? Are you kidding me!? Maverick you smooth smooth man, he knew Hendrix’s didn’t need anything flashy. All she needed was to be surrounded by something that gives her peace and HIM. 🥹


Thank you Forever Publishing for this arc. I am FOREVER grateful. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. And also a big thank you to Miss Kennedy herself.

Ok. Yasmeen? Loved her. Soledad? Adored her. HEN?! I’m obsessed with her!!!!! This book is the PERFECT conclusion to this series. I felt so many emotions between navigating being a caregiver to your parents, to letting your vulnerability show, and realizing you don’t have to do it all on your own!!! And Mav?! My favorite book boo!!!! He stood ten toes down for this woman!!!!! Ugh everything about this was beautiful. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this in advance.

An ode to the "strong Black Women"! Strength and softness are not opposites—you can be powerful while embracing rest, deserving love without needing all the answers, and existing beyond the weight of others' expectations.

Once again, Kennedy delivers a masterfully woven story filled with love, struggle, and the everyday realities of life. She takes us on an intimate journey of transitioning from child to caregiver, handling it with grace and authenticity. Through her storytelling, she highlights the Black Community's experiences—whether it’s the choice to remain child-free or the battle for equality in the business world.

If you haven’t started this series yet, you’re missing out. These books are for the real, everyday people navigating life’s challenges. They remind us that struggles are inevitable, but we are never alone in facing them.

RATING: 3/5 STARS

I deeply wanted to like this more! I think my expectations were too high after This Could Be Us. Billionaire romances are a hard sell for me. I rarely read them, so this book was a hard sell personally. But I think fans of the first two books in this series will enjoy the strong female lead and emotional romance.

I refuse to accept the Skyland trio is done but what a great final book to tie the series up with. I loved Mav and this is probably the first black billionaire romance I’ve read which is an absolute travesty. So excited our girl Hendrix got her happy ending and the way her caretaking was revealed through the relationship with her mother was so moving. I’ll admit when a certain real life situation popped up for the characters in this book I was taken aback but the authors note at the end made me appreciative that it was included.

I thought Zere was going to have to be added to the “it’s on sight” list with Edward….but she’ll stay off the list. For now 😂.

Back in November, @kennedyryan shared the dedication for Hendrix’s story. It reads: For the ones who have used your magic to lift, protect, and illuminate everybody else…rest is our new resistance. Rest & shine, my loves. Rest & shine.”

I knew from that alone, that Hendrix’s story was going to hit in a way that the others hadn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I found community with both Yasmen’s and Soledad’s stories, but before reading, I knew something about Hendrix’s would hit me to my core.

Hendrix was a mirror to my own identity.

Childfree by choice - ✅
Auntie to friend’s kids - ✅
Ambitious and driven - ✅
Hyper independent - ✅
A little thug, but a lot of sweetheart - ✅
110% giver - ✅
Loyal friend - ✅
Funny and a little crass - ✅

But here is the similarity that rocked me to my core. Hendrix’s mom’s name is Betty. Just as my sweet mother’s name. The same mother I lost unexpectedly in 2018. It was in the prologue of the book that I first saw mention of Hendrix’s mother and upon discovering, I immediately paused. I knew I would need to process the grief that still lingers and that would naturally rise when seeing my own mother’s name in print while reading of Hendrix’s struggles with taking care of an aging parent.

For me, this book was way more than Maverick and Hendrix. Don’t get me wrong, I loved seeing Maverick love Hendrix out loud and boldly. It’s something that like Hendrix, I sometimes do not think will happen to me. But to its core, this book is also a love letter between mother and daughter. And while I did not have the privilege of watching my mom grow as old as Hendrix’s mom, I did have the opportunity to be reminded of the good times, the memories, the sweetness of her, the loudness of her laughter, the warmth of her soul, the essence of Betty.

So, once again, I’m thanking Kennedy for writing books that not only tackle tough issues, but also for writing book that can speak to the core of one’s soul. In her books, I’ve learned not only the importance of romantic love, but also the platonic love for friends and colleagues, and most importantly, the love that you SHOULD give to yourself.

💜💜💜

Devoured this book in no time.

Ryan balances those heavy hitting topics perfectly and with such care. The depth she gives her stories and her characters makes them incredibly relatable, and the plots realistic and highly thought and emotion provoking.

This book was no different. Hendrix truly shined here — I related heavily as a fellow caregiver to my father years ago prior to his passing. Her ability to juggle that, being a business woman and keeping the romance alive is incredibly hard and she did all of that and more with some incredible grace.

Top notch writing with great pacing and a plot that packs a punch. 10/10!

I love Kennedy Ryan. There is no author that can balance steam, trauma, and relationships like she can. We’re talking like 4/5 on the spice level for this book folks, yet also tearful moments about a mother with Alzheimers. I also love reading billionaire boyfriend tropes. Especially ones that are humble like Maverick. This was my favorite out of the Skyland series and I highly recommend if you like a steamy romance with plot!

Imagine having a boyfriend that is in Tokyo that charters a private jet to come home when your mom is in the hospital? Imagine a man sending you dozens of champaign roses to show that he is interested? Well that is Maverick Bell. Maybe one of my new favorite book boyfriends. The man is tall, dark, handsome, kind, and a private billionaire who will stop at nothing to land the girl of his dreams: Hendrix.

Hendrix is a successful agent and venture capital firm owner. She takes pride in being a fierce independent woman who doesn’t need a family or a man to feel accomplished. She heads down to Miami for a white party hosted by the one and only Zere (former model) and Maverick Bell. Maverick takes note of Hendrix the second he see’s her lighting up the dance floor and getting the crowd going. He introduces himself and feels an immediate spark. After a short conversation (about her venture capital firm and her mother’s Alzheimers diagnosis) he knows he wants to be in this woman’s life. His ex Zere will make it complicated as her and Hendrix work together. After the party, Maverick finds Hendrix’s number and begins to call and text her. They form a fast friendship and even fall asleep watching tv together on the phone. Maverick knows this virtual relationship isn’t enough and will stop at nothing until Hendrix gives him a chance. Hendrix slowly comes around and these two begin their whirlwind romance: living in Malibu, chartering jets, going to Waffle House, and creating gardens. It’s not an easy road, with Hendrix’s sick mother, lawsuits, and broken friendships, but these two have each other’s back through thick and thin.

Read it.

Mrs. Kennedy Ryan has done it again! I have been waiting for Hendrix's book and it did not disappoint. I love this series. What a beautiful portrayal of what female friendship should look like and waiting for the live you deserve.

I love this story.
It's so rare we find a heroine who does not want children who doesn't end up having them at all in the entire book.
Hendrix is who I want to be in my future (rich auntie vibes)

I LOVE how much Maverick loves her and shows up for her.

Kennedy Ryan gets my 5 stars almost every single ride and this series ended with an amazing book!

This was one of my most anticipated new books this year and it somehow still surpassed my expectations. I love Kennedy Ryan’s Skyland series because yes they’re romance (I mean she writes swoony romance with the best of them obviously - Hen and Mav 4ever) but more than that, they explore so many complex themes. Hendrix’s journey as a caregiver to her mom is so thoughtfully written and moving. As always, there’s also an incredible depiction of female friendship and how we build our community around us. I adore the Skyland women and am grateful to Kennedy Ryan for writing this beautiful series. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC!

Kennedy!! Ryan!! Is who tf she thinks she is!! Thank you!! Thank you!! She ate downnnnnn so bad!! Hendrix is just amazing!! Plus size bold black confident, self assured and a go getter being perused and loved on hard!!!!?!?! Yes pls! I loved this book so much! I just loved Hendrix’s story so much!

He was down baddd for Hen!! Loved that for Hen!! Im just so glad the trials and tribulations werent trial and tribulating like the last two bc i was ready to fight lmaoo love the 1st two absolutely however im just really happy with Hendrix’s story!! The only trial which honestly was it bc Zere was soo annoying to me! How you in a relationship pressed about your old relationship dpmo idc idc!! I loved seeing all of Hen’s relationships from her friends to colleagues and her family! I related so much to Hen as a plus size woman! I related so much as a social worker with Hen managing her mom’s condition. Another thing, when Kennedy Ryan says she researches, know she truly is about that life! I see this all the time with my patients and its so hard on them and their families! Kennedy handled this with so much love and grace for caregivers and it was so needed! Burnout is real yall for caregivers so thank you so this! Furthermore, no spoilers but if youre fan of Kennedy Ryan then youll be pleased with the little character updates from past books! Overall, amazing love story for badass women everywhere! Badass women who know themselves and never negotiate to be loved! Childless women by choice this one is for you! Mothering isnt just having a biological/adopted child! Its also the children in your environment! In your community and showing up and offering advice and mentoring. Overall, a fantastic read and i cannot wait for Ms.Ryans next book!!

P.S idc idc bc i’ll take it anyhow oo kennedy ryan said Ghana makes the best jollof 🙈😂

4.5 rounded up💫 it’s always bittersweet to see a series end!! My Skyland besties🥹🫶

Hendrix has always been the cool, independent, rich Auntie but now it’s her time to shine!! And with no surprise Kennedy Ryan packed an emotional punch🥲

Starting with the personal authors note of her own experience with the disease to the epilogue this was an emotional but uplifting love story! We watch Hendrix navigate being a caretaker for her mother as she battles Alzheimer’s, still be a badass successful business woman, and finally find the perfect love for her without sacrificing her independence👏 and we love to see it!!💛

I loved the Soledad and Yasmin’s appearances and the special friendship these women share! The black joy and struggles Ryan so strongly highlights! And Mav?! An iconic book boyfriend😌 I mean he’s a billionaire hottie surfer with a heart of gold?! Yes please!

This was the child free by choice romance book I have hoped for. I loved Hendrix. She was full of ambition, strength, and fortitude. She knew what she wanted and didn’t let anything get in the way while also not depriving herself of being happy. And Mav? Perfection. I loved this book and it has the best acknowledgement section I have ever read.

I knew this book was going to hit me hard as the "single friend" of the group but I was not prepared. Hedrix is a beautifully written character who is not only is self assure but learning when to be vulnerable. Between the love that unexpectedly finds her and her battle to help her mom, I found myself emotional the majority of the book. Now don't think it is all tense, Can't Get Enough is also laugh out loud hilarious. Overall I had a good time , the entire time and I will be reading this again.

The only negative was I wished we got more time with her friends, she is so independent that was reflected in the limited amount of time we got with the characters we have already grown to love.
