Outstanding story. Wraps romance with friendship, family, illness and inequity.
I couldn't put it down. The writing is stellar.
The characters are wonderful. I loved Hendrix and Maverick together.

I have been looking forward to Hendrix’s book for awhile now, thanks to the glimpses of her I saw in Yasmine and Soledad’s books, and I was not at all disappointed. Can’t Get Enough was unputdownable. Hendrix is a boss, a hardworking woman who takes care of everyone around her, including her mom, who has Alzheimer’s. Maverick is a near-billionaire who prefers to stay out of the spotlight. They have an instant spark but of course it’s complicated. Will Hendrix choose herself for once?
This book was absolutely perfect. It was a perfect balance of heavy, sweet, and spicy. Hendrix and Maverick’s chemistry is everything.

Hendrix is the fun friend but this book gave us a much deeper look into her life. Her struggles with her mothers health were heart wrenching. She is the free friend that has no ties, but Mav was the one to sweep her off her feet and make her swoon. While Mav seemed over the top to me at times with his gestures, Hendrix liked it so I loved it! The Skyland series is amazing and Kenndy Ryan is an amazingly talented author!

**Spoiler-Free Review (Spoiler Section at the bottom) **

Kennedy Ryan’s Can’t Get Enough delivers everything I love about her books—deep emotions, complex characters, and a love story that makes you feel everything. But as always, the romance is the second reason why I love this book. Hendrix, our leading lady, is a force, which we already knew from the previous books. She’s thriving—successful (the epitome of Black girl luxury), surrounded by amazing friends, Soledad and Yasmen, who we know, but we also meet some new friends as well—Chapel, Nelly, Kashawn, and Skipper. (And Mrs. Ryan, if you are looking for suggestions on who to write about next, please do a whole book on Skipper and Bolt's weirdness.) Hendrix is living a life that is Full, with a capital 'F'—but she’s also navigating the tough reality of her mother’s Alzheimer’s. I was nervous about how Kennedy Ryan was going to handle this, but she balanced joy and sorrow so seamlessly. I wasn’t ready for it. Cue the tears.

Now, let’s talk about Maverick. I’ll be honest, at first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about him being so fresh out of a relationship, especially when his ex is someone Hendrix cares about and is doing business with. That’s messy. I think my exact words when Zere was mentioning him were, "Oh please not him." However, in their first interaction together, I immediately got it. By the middle of the book? Whew, I was all in. He pursues Hendrix, and not in a toxic, overbearing, love-bombing way, but in a way that made me melt. This man showed up for her, and after a bit of pursuit, she let herself be loved. And I can't think of a better character deserving of that kind of love. Also, did I mention he is a Billionaire—with a B?

One of my favorite things about this book was how Kennedy Ryan handled Hendrix’s stance on not wanting kids. There’s always this expectation that a woman must have a reason for not wanting them, but as Hendrix says, "People always ask why I don't want kids, like it's not enough to just know you don't." That line hit. And then she expands on it beautifully: "There are women like me who are mothering in our own ways, but never carried a child or been a parent. We're teachers and mentors and social workers and godmothers." Kennedy Ryan didn’t just include this perspective—she honored it. And I love that Hendrix was never made to justify her choice.

And of course, Kennedy Ryan doesn’t just give us romance—she gives us real life. There are big social justice themes here, conversations that feel incredibly relevant, and moments that hit hard. But none of it ever takes away from the love story; it just makes it richer.

Beyond the romance, what makes this book even more impactful is the way it concludes the stories of Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmen. And I use "concludes" loosely, because there were so many cameos from characters in previous books. But what truly made this series special was seeing the depth of Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmen’s friendship. In This Could Be Us, Hendrix was Soledad’s rock. She showed up in every way, supporting Soledad through one of the hardest times in her life. That was when I fell in love with Hendrix. And now, we see that friendship returned tenfold. Soledad and Yasmen show up for Hendrix. She’s always been the strong, independent one, but here, she lets them support her, and all the independent girlies need to see that. Their friendship is everything. To quote Before I Let Go, "There aren't enough sonnets for friendship...When lovers come and go, friends are the ones who remain. We are each other’s constants." This was the perfect send-off for them, and I know I’ll miss them—but not really, because I do plan to reread this constantly.



Spoiler Section

Alright, let’s get into it. From the jump, I was side-eyeing the fact that Maverick was tied to Hendrix’s new colleague. Her ex?? That’s a lot. And at first, I hated that she was caught in this situation—I wanted her to experience a love without complications. But halfway through, I realized how much I loved that Hendrix got to be chased. The way Maverick showed up for her, the way he refused to let her run, and the way he told her he wanted to worship her? Yeah. That’s the kind of romance I live for.

But honestly, the hardest parts of this book weren’t even about the love story—they were about Hendrix’s mom. Watching her slowly fade, seeing Hendrix try to hold everything together, was brutal. I had to take breaks while reading because it took me back to my own experiences with a loved one going through dementia. Kennedy Ryan doesn’t just tell us about grief—she puts us in it.

The moments where the church community stepped in, the way her friends and Maverick supported her? When he showed up at the hospital, I cried, because I just felt how much she needed him in that moment. It was heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.

And then we get the social justice aspect—Aspire’s lawsuit, the fight for equity, and the frustration of watching things fall apart. It felt too real. I immediately remembered seeing it on the news last year and being devastated about the outcome of the Fearless Fund. Kennedy Ryan mentions in the Author’s Note section that she purposely didn't resolve that case for Hendrix to note that those of us in marginalized communities still have battles to fight.

But like I said before, the most special part of this book and this series is the friendship, and Kennedy Ryan did not hold back on sending these three women off with a bang. I had a feeling Soledad would get a show and that would be what Hendrix got to produce, and that felt so right for them. I know I was reading and not watching a movie, but the image of the three of them on stage together at Soledad’s premiere was crystal clear in my head. The three of them, standing together, looking out at their families, was the wrap-up we all needed.

I honestly thought Mav would propose there, but of course, Hendrix would never take even a minute away from Soledad’s moment—even though we all know Soledad would have loved it. But the proposal at her new home, on the bench with both her parents' initials in the garden—a legacy from her grandmother—was absolutely perfect for Hendrix. 

Is one else wondering if Lupe, Deja, and Mav's daughter Tamia will be the next series? I could see Kennedy Ryan doing a college series. What do you think?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Can't Get Enough is the third and final book in Kennedy Ryan's Skyland series. It releases May 13th of this year, but I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy - (thank you to NetGalley for my first ever ARC!).

I have absolutely ADORED this series and loved Hen's story in Can't Get Enough. These books have so much heart and character. The romance and spice are a wonderful part of each story, but I also love the attention given to the strength and importance of their friendships.

In the first two books, we see Hendrix as a funny, independent, ambitious and successful woman who is devoted to her friends and loves being the rich aunty. In her story, we get a deeper dive into her life to see how she balances a thriving career while caring for her mom who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

She's fiercely independent, but meets Mav, a compassionate and kind man who helps her find that sharing your life with the right person and "being good to each other" can be worthwhile.

I loved the care in which the storyline of Hen caring for her mom was told. It was heart wrenching but also beautiful. I loved how Hendrix was child free by choice and wasn't shamed for this decision, or made to change her mind when she met "the one." The book also contains a poignant commentary on the attacks against affirmative action, which are sadly so relevant in our current political climate.

I will definitely be rereading when the audiobook is available because if it's anything like the first books in the series, it will be absolute perfection.

This was fantastic and I highly recommend. All the stars.

Thanks to Forever Publishing and NeGallery for this ARC. Can't get Enough is the HIGHLY anticipated final book of the Skyland Series by Kennedy Ryan. This last book follows Hendrix, a woman with goals, dreams, ambitions, and who is also facing her toughest challenge caring for an aging parent. Maverick Bell is a charming billionaire that will ALWAYS find ways to get what he wants, enter Hendrix.

Let me start by saying that I am so sad I am saying goodbye to the girls from Skyland. Kennedy has created a world in which you don't only fall in love with the romance of her books, but also have no other option but to root for the individual characters's growth and development. I adored Hendrix in the first 2 books, and in her own story at times I could relate to her. Her determination and her goal getting mind will always be so powerful to me. The sad realities of taking care of aging parents that have deteriorating conditions like Alzheimer's was very well fleshed out and researched. Something that Kennedy does AMAZINGLY in all her books. When it comes to the mmc, Maverick was charming and very sexy. His chemistry with Hendrix was palpable and I honestly think they were perfect for each other. I swooned, cried and laugh while reading so that in itself is a win in my household.

With all that being said, the reason this book doesn't rank higher for me, is that I had some issues with the pacing and how the story played out. First (and without getting into any spoilers), I really don't like how Hendrix and Mav meet. Don't get me wrong, the meet-cute itself was not my problem, it was the situation around them. I understand that it gave the book the "forbidden" aspect but like it was mentioned several times in the book, they were grown adults that were free to do as they pleased. Idk I would've been better without the whole "ex" storyline. Their relationship to me had some pacing problems, at time "too fast" and in others "too slow". They barely had time together and yet it was too fast. Idk if I am making sense but that is how I felt while reading. It just didn't have the heart that the first 2 books in the series had, and I wanted more for my Girl Hendrix.

Still, like I mentioned before, I am going to miss them all. Seeing everyone together made my heart happy. I love everyone and their happy endings. Loved the consistency between all the books when it came to real female friendships, true soulmates and companions.


Thanks again for the E-ARC.

Kennedy Ryan does it again! Another 5 star read that’s filled with love and real life discussion, I love this series, but Hen’s story might be my favorite!

I absolutely could not get enough of Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan. This was a —kept me up until 2am — book!

As a massive fan of Ryan’s Skyland series, I knew what I was getting into when I picked up this 3rd and final book. A steamy passionate romance between complex characters navigating real life hurdles together.

Our FMC is a vivacious, curvy, badass, independent, business woman who is navigating the struggles of caring for an aging parent. Our MMC is a swoon worthy, billionaire, black surfer boy, fresh out of a long term relationship. Themes of caring for aging family, discrimination, and systemic inequalities.

I swooned, I giggled out loud, I teared up, I was angry as hell alongside the characters. This book has it all!

Ryan is an incredibly talented author and I cannot recommend her Skyland series enough! It is so bittersweet to have reached the end of this series! The strong female friendship between the 3 FMCs has been an absolute highlight.

5 brilliant stars. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to the publisher for an eARC via NetGalley!

Kennedy Ryan is one of my favorite authors of all time. So I went into this book knowing that it would be amazing - and it did not disappoint. Kennedy does such an amazing job of wrestling with heavy, important topics in the midst of a love story. The way she wrote about Alzheimer’s and Hendrix’s experience with her mom was perfect. And the way Hendrix and Maverick immediately connected over their shared experience felt so real and believable. Maverick was so perfect and the way he always showed up for Hendrix was swoon worthy. I think I would’ve liked to see her reciprocate that a bit more on the page, but at the same time realistically she couldn’t have with everything on her plate. She just kept herself guarded with him and I never felt like she fully let her guard down. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I read it in one day because I couldn’t put it down. 4.5 stars!

Absolutely loved this book!

Hendricks was the book I was looking forward to most. She was such a strong woman with so much on her shoulder. Always there for people to lean on, it was nice to be able to see her learning to be ok with being vulnerable.

I still loved the friendship within the series. Even withe everyone living their own lives they still managed to be there for one another.

As always Kennedy Ryan approaches difficult topics with so much care. The way she was able to capture the thoughts and feelings of being a caregiver of someone with Alzheimer's was done well, I wanted to hug Hendricks and her aunt.

I was on the fence in the beginning when it came to the actual love story. I didn't really love the circumstances surrounding how they met but as things progressed I loved how the relationship blossomed.

Did I have high hopes for Hendrix's story? Yes! Did they get exceeded? absolutely!! Once again all the emotions. Hendrix has been my favorite character since the first book and I love her even more after reading more of her story. I love how authentic and true to herself she is. She does everything for everyone and loves so fiercely. Her pain about her mother is felt in the writing. Her loyalty to her work and her friends is felt so strong too. I was skeptical that Mav could be good enough for her because she deserved so much. He did win me over though. Overall this is just an amazing story and I love this series even more.

I loved Hendrix in the prior books and was so excited to get to her story Hendrix, This book did not disappoint! Like the other Skyland books, the romance unfolds very naturally and has great depth and maturity. I also loved getting to see more of Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmen's friendships.

I’ve been anticipating Hendrix’s story since I started reading the Skyland series, and let me just say it did not disappoint.

Walking through Hendrix’s challenges with her was something so special. Maybe because she was the last friend we got a story for? Or maybe because she is so strong, so confident and so brave, that it was nice to see her find a man who could match her and keep her sparkle ✨

I love the strong female friendships this series represents, but I also love how each friend finds herself along the way - in life, love, family and all things in between.

Also - no third act breakup 👏🏼

*Thank you @readforeverpub and NetGalley for a digital copy to review!*

Hendrix Barry, a successful woman with big dreams, faces her toughest challenge yet—caring for an aging parent—while navigating a complicated romance with the alluring, off-limits tech mogul Maverick Bell.

Our last trip to Skyland 😭 but it was with my favorite character, Hendrix. This is because I see myself in Hendrix. Someone who is alone, but wants companionship deep down. Someone who found some of her best girls later in life. Someone who is older than your typical romance book heroine (40s?? Yes please!!). As I creep toward 40 (I’m 36 now) with no sign of a romantic love in my life, I appreciate an older FMC. Gives us girls some hope.

Anyway!! I loved Hendrix’s journey in this book. The scenes with her mother?! I was a puddle. Watching how she tried her best, relied on others, and figured out the best way forward with love and support from her friends and family pit me in my feelings.

Mav treated her sooooooo good and she deserved it. Their scenes were so hot I was breathless reading them. That first time in the coat closet had me like 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨. The dual POV was so good.

I also loved how centered the story was on Black women building their businesses and PLEASE do not miss the author’s note for a deeper explanation on the third act lawsuit. I had fire in my bones.

Great final Skyland outing. 💜 thanks @kennedyryan1

Like all of Kennedy’s books that I’ve read, Can’t Get Enough mixes real world issues with romance quite masterfully. I love reading books where Black women are getting loved the way they deserve! Kennedy continues to show readers the full spectrum and range of human emotions in this novel, as she has in her others as well. The spice in this was well written, & though this book isn’t my favorite of the Skyland series, I believe it will be a heavy hitter in its own rights in the romance genre.

Edit: Upon further reflection of my experience with this novel, I would be remorse if I didn’t also touch on the themes of female friendship through this. I loved how Hendrix kept leaning on her friends for support & advice. The themes of community is probably my favorite take from this book.

Thank you to Kennedy, Forever Pub, & NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Amazing! Kennedy's ability to write stories with immense passion and depth is admirable. The way she writes the sisterhood and friendship is so refreshing. Her dedication in the beginning sets the tone of the book and the messages illustrated were clear by the end. I really appreciated Hendrix's story and the romance was phenomenal as well.
Thank you so much Forever for this advanced copy!

I love this one!! Wild to say that this was my first Kennedy Ryan book ever and I am kicking myself for. It reading her sooner! The prose is beautiful and I loved the plot line that cover Hendrix helping her mom who had Alzheimer’s. The way that she and Maverick connected through there trauma was beautiful, There were parts that dragged a bit for me but overall, this was a super enjoyable read

Kennedy Ryan is a top 3 romance author for me. I devoured the first two Skyland books and was thrilled to get an ARC of Can't Get Enough. Hendrix is a successful, independent, childless by choice woman who meets Maverick, a billionaire, and very recent ex boyfriend of a woman who she does business with. The attraction is immediate but Hendrix wants to avoid the messiness that is sure to ensue with the ex if. Their relationship and the romance were great but what I loved most about the book was the exploration of deeper topics and social issues. Hendrix is caring for an aging parent, running a badass venture capital group focused on Black business owners, prioritizing her female friendships and so many other real and complex things. Kennedy successfully weaves in a storyline that is very similar to case from 2013 where a VC was sued for "racially discriminating" against non Black business owners. I really appreciate her ability to do all these things in a romance book. This wasn't exactly a light read but it was so satisfying. It can definitely be read as a standalone but the first and second book in the series are so good so don't miss those either.

Thank you to Forever for the ARC

I loved this one! I think this is probably my favorite in the series just because Hendrix is so different from her best friends. They are all so so successful but I don’t know, Hendrix is just different and I love her. Also highly recommend sticking around for the authors note because I personally learned so much about something that fictionally happened in this book really happened in North Carolina where I live. This book was great and taught me something and I love that.

Another great addition to this series!! Romantic, heartfelt, and with plenty of depth, this did not disappoint. Great chemistry and tension really carried this for me.
