Hendrix, the woman that you are! There is so much drama that happens in this book, but as usual, Kennedy Ryan manages to make this feel so grounded.

I really am not into billionaire romances so I struggled with some aspects of this at first, but Mav really won me over.

While the heart of this story is the romance, the entire plotline with Hendrix's mom was heartbreaking and felt incredibly realistic. There is no writer I trust more than Kennedy to write about heavy topics in a romance.

I love this entire series and I'm very sad it's over. Thank. you to Forever and Netgalley for the chance to be able to read one of my most anticipated 2025 releases early!

So thankful for this ARC!

Hendrix’s story was so worth the wait! We’ve watched Hendrix as a seemingly carefree and highly confident friend to Yasmin & Soledad. She puts a smile on our faces with her quick witted comments and reliable nature. Although we know Hendrix has been dealing with some difficulties with her moms diagnoses, we always see her handling business and assuming her role of the rich Auntie that want's nothing if the ROI isn't in the green - especially a relationship. Until now, when we're introduced to a man that actually captures her attention and it is not without a major internal conflict.

In this book we’re finally able to get into the depths of her mom’s diagnosis, and how that weaves itself into her day-to-day decision making and emotional state. Also worth noting that this third installment of the Skyland series is by far the steamiest. Kennedy Ryan knows how to write tension between her characters and she proves it even more with Hendrix and the main man in this story - Billionaire, Maverick Bell. Hendrix’ story is one of vulnerability and evolution - but also, PASSION. A lot of it.

One of my favorite elements of this trilogy is what I call the secondary love story here - the one between our girls! We get, what feels like less of the girls spending time together in this installment, but I still felt like their friendship was such a core part of the story. The LOVE each other. They push each other to grow. They check each other when needed and they make sure they know they've got each other no matter what. The depth friendships from this trilogy will always stick with me.

This story was incredibly well-paced. It takes place over such a short timeframe but the connection between the two characters still feels reasonable considering their shared passions, places in life and personality types. There's a good balance of the more humorous moments, and emotional ones.

Can’t Get Enough is the third book in the Skyland series by Kennedy Ryan and this is Hendrix’s book. I have been looking forward to her story since book one and this was all that I could have dreamed of!

I feel like this book really looks behind the walls that Hendrix has up in the first two books. She has always kind of been a fun character but in this book, it explores a lot more of her including her relationship with her mother who has Alzheimers. Hendrix is still a very strong character but she has a lot on her shoulders.

I thought that Maverick was such a good match for her. While their connection is pretty instant, it makes sense for them. Hendrix has a little bit of a wild past so seeing someone come into her life that she feels a spark with felt magical.

I love the way Kennedy Ryan addresses heavier subjects in her books in a way that feels so real. Hendrix is childfree by choice and that is a decision that is brought up a lot but she never wavers. I think the way this book handles the subject of Alzheimer’s was done very well and made me tear up a few times.

I loved this book. I love this series. It’s so refreshing to read romance books about nature and capable characters. I can’t wait to see what comes next from this author.

Since the beginning of the Skyland series, I’ve been saying “Kennedy Ryan is writing my soul”. From understanding the how/why with Yas, to reclaiming by identity with Sol, and now navigating the beauty of unexpected outcomes alongside Hen…every step of the way KR pushed resilience and reminders that there will be joy on the other side of these uncomfortable moments. So, imagine my shock when half way through the book and packs of tissues, I realized KR isn’t just writing my soul - she’s writing the soul of EVERY woman that is committed to growth, that’s evolving and stepping through some tough ish to become a better them.

I knew I’d love Hen…she’s the friend we all admire and maybe even envy a little bit. I just didn’t realize how much I’d love Hendrix. Ever confident, this in depth look into her world reminded that everyone is going through something, some just hide it really well. Overlooking the amazing love story (because that was a given with KR)…I really enjoyed that Hendrix adjusted her vision of what it meant to be happy without sacrificing the big picture of what she wanted - success, freedom, love.

My absolutely FAVORITE part of book 3, was the dynamic of Hen, her mom and Aunt G. Expertly written with compassion, Kennedy Ryan, held space for something that isn’t talked about enough in the black community. She gave a voice to the primary caregivers, the family members that help where they can and those directly living through the changes. She reminded that everyone is impacted, coping, and scared. My mom was a caregiver, and the sincerity and honesty of some scenes brought tearful memories of my grandmother. I need Can’t Get Enough to be suggested reading for some of these national organizations, that while offering help may not be addressing some of the raw emotions that the family will endure. Kennedy Ryan wrote the raw, unapologetic and not so pretty side of loving unconditionally and forever.

There’s so much more than can be done with the Skyland characters, so many “what now” thoughts about the couples and kids, that I hope this isn’t the end. Yet, I know through these or new characters, KR will leave each of us feeling seen and hopeful.

Book clubs and friends that seek my recommendations, go ahead add this to the list. I’ll give a pub day reminder, and answer your tearful and/or self-reflective calls in May. 😉

🛑Read on with caution; review may contain spoilers🛑

I have always admired Hendrix early in the Skyland series, and she really stood out in Can’t Get Enough. She’s determined and screams girl power with everything she does, from fighting for black women’s rights to self-love, you name it! But what actually amazed me more about her character was how she rejected Maverick, a wealthy and intelligent man who could definitely do almost anything for her in a blink of an eye, several times to accomplish her and her clients’ goals and dreams. Despite her strong attraction to Maverick, she was determined not to pursue her growing feelings for him. But as determined as she was, Maverick was even more determined and convinced her to be with him with his best intentions. I really enjoyed the tension they had and how they really had to fight their attraction to each other.

Not a lot of people could relate to having a direct relative with Alzheimer’s and while Ryan depicted how difficult it is to care for someone diagnosed with it, she also showed ways on how to handle episodes of it.

Can’t Get Enough is a heartwarming and steamy conclusion to the Skyland series. I would definitely miss Soledad, Yasmen and Hendrix and how their stories were all about black women empowerment and rising above the challenges they encounter, and of course the steamy romances each woman had with each novel.

She has done it AGAIN! This book was truly a joy to read, and I feel honored to have been able to read it before it is available on shelves.

This beautifully written story of "Aunt Hen" was such a breath of fresh air! Typically, Hendrix gives off "Rich Auntie vibes" at all times, but this book gave us a chance to really dive into who she is underneath the exterior and enabled us to see her softer, more vulnerable side. She is such an amazing black woman, and I love how Kennedy Ryan highlights that every chance she gets, in almost any novel written by her.

Hendrix's story was so raw and real, I could relate to many of the struggles, feelings, and difficulties she faced! On top of trying to navigate her busy career, she's trying to navigate her feelings of love -- she is more than deserving!

I hope everyone loves this book as much as I did!

Another 5 star Kennedy Ryan masterpiece! I was beyond excited to receive an ARC of the third book in the Skyland Series. Each book was better than the last. I thought Hendrix’s story would be my least favorite, I’m not sure why, maybe I thought Soledad and Yasmen as mothers would be more relatable for me, but boy was I wrong!

Getting to experience Hendrix’s story and seeing all the puzzle pieces from the previous books coming together was perfect.

This story, like all of Kennedy Ryan’s books that I have read, was beautifully written. I could feel the author’s passion on every page. I love audio books and had listened to the first two books so I wasn’t sure if it would ruin my experience by reading it, but that was just simply not the case.

Thank you to Kennedy Ryan and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an ARC of this novel.

SO much more than a Billionaire Romance!

*ARC Review*

As the review title mentions, this book gave so much more than romance. In true Kennedy Ryan fashion, this novel takes you through it and calls you out! I’ve often seen reviews mentioning feeling seen throughout reading a novel, but this is truly the first time I’ve actually experienced the feeling.

Seeing so much of myself in a fictional character (Hendrix) was jarring & honestly, inspiring in watching Hendrix receive everything she deserves without compromising her own wants and goals.

Listen, I wish a Maverick on EVERYONE. Not just in the way that his pockets are loaded (though I wouldn’t turn my nose up at that, LOL), but in the way that he truly saw, understood, and knew his partner. Watching their love blossom was SUCH a good time.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. I LOVE when books put a focus on the FMC’s tribe of friends. It’s such a refreshing thing to see especially after already knowing Yas & Sol’s stories. Every woman deserves to experience that type of friendship.

Oh, and while a part of me empathizes with Zere, she REALLY got on my nerves. I personally felt like she was given too much consideration. Point blank.

Anyway, all this to say, Kennedy Ryan has done it once again! I had SUCH a good time reading this book. This was honestly my favorite installment in the Skyland Series, and I’m very in my feelings that I’m done reading it.

Thank you to Kennedy Ryan, Forever Publishing & NetGalley for this ARC. 💜

Can’t Get Enough is everything I love about Kennedy Ryan’s writing, it’s deeply emotional, beautifully researched, and so incredibly real. Hendrix is the kind of heroine who feels like a friend: strong, ambitious, but carrying so much on her shoulders. And Maverick? The way he sees her, supports her, and waits for her absolutely wrecked me. Their chemistry is electric, but it’s the quiet moments - the understanding, the patience, the love woven into the everyday - that make this book unforgettable. Kennedy Ryan doesn’t just write romance; she writes love in all its messy, healing, life-changing forms.

I was really looking forward to reading the third installment of the Skyland series by Kennedy Ryan. Out of the 3, Can’t Get Enough is my least favorite.

What worked for me:
I LOVE the friendship and sisterhood that Hen, Sol, and Yas have. I love how genuine and caring they are toward one another. I enjoyed seeing Hendrix interact with her mother and aunt. It showed a more gentle Hendrix than her outspoken self. I do wish there was more to the storyline about Hendrix, her aunt and her mother.

What did NOT work for me:
The Hendrix we have come to love in books 1&2, is not the same Hendrix we have in book 3. The way that her and Maverick got together was messy and unnecessary. She literally fell for the first guy she met. The side plot and drama between Zere, Mav and Hen was not needed at all. With Hen at the age of 40, I doubt she would have been worried about Zere! Mav was so one dimensional. Hen needs a lawyer….he has one. Hen needs a realtor…he has one. Isn’t he a billionaire and mogul?! How does he just drop everything and fly from Japan to Charlotte at the drop of a dime. Hen is independent and strong and even after telling him NO several times, he still persisted and she fell for it.

I do appreciate the aspect of Hen standing firm on black women and what plagues our community. I honestly just expected more from her.

Overall, I rated this one a 3.75, and I think that’s me being generous. I pushed through because I do love these characters, but it was almost a DNF for me.

I still love Kennedy Ryan though :)

Can’t Get Enough was everything I wanted and more. Kennedy Ryan delivers another incredible romance in the Skyland series, and this one might just be my favorite yet.

Let’s talk about Maverick Bell—holy shit. He might be one of my favorite book boyfriends of the year. Confident, intentional, and completely devoted to Hendrix, he knew exactly what (and who) he wanted and didn’t waste time making his feelings clear. There’s nothing sexier than a man who communicates well, and Hendrix never stood a chance against him. Their chemistry was fire, and I loved every second of their journey.

Hendrix and Maverick are both driven, successful, and hardworking, making them a perfect match. But what really stood out was how open and honest they were with each other. No unnecessary drama, no miscommunication—just two people who truly see each other and are willing to make sacrifices because they know they’re the end game. It was so refreshing.

Another highlight was getting to reunite with the characters from the previous books. The friendship between Hendrix, Yasmen, and Soledad is one of my favorite parts of this series. Their bond is strong, supportive, and full of love, and I always enjoy seeing them together.

Can’t Get Enough was a perfect mix of passion, romance, and deep emotional connection. Kennedy Ryan continues to deliver characters that feel real and love stories that stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Kennedy Ryan does it again! This book was amazing and I can’t stop raving about it ! I highly recommend if you’re looking for a book that’s going to have you hooked from the very start.

This book was pure perfection! I’ve never highlighted a book as much as I did with this one. Everything Maverick said was absolute gold! We love a man who knows how to chase. 😭 Maverick is hands down one of my favorite Kennedy Ryan MMCs, no ifs, ands, or buts!

And that epilogue?! 😭 This book is the definition of giggling and kicking my feet! I wish I could say more, but since this is an ARC, I don’t want to spoil anything… so all I’ll say is WOW. 😭

You will laugh , you will smile , you will get angry, you will cry , but you will feel whole by the end of it all ! 🥹

Also I will say, the topics discussed in this book is so relevant to today’s political climate . I love how Kennedy always brings important discussions to the forefront of her books. Forever and always rooting for everyone black !

The Alzheimer’s rep was handled with such care as well and you can tell she took her time to understand and research this topic. The Skyland series is truly unforgettable!

Kennedy, thank you for this masterpiece💜

Huge shoutout to Forever Pub for the ARC 🩷🥹 This is easily one of my top reads of the year!

4.5-5 stars!!

"Falling in love with you is the easiest thing I've ever done"

Hendix: fmc
Maverick : mmc

Kennedy really saved Hendrix's book to the end and it was a wholesome goodbye to the Skyland family. It feels sad to see that this is the last book but I hope that we see the characters in future books. As always, Kennedy writes books that touch your heartstring, are steamy, and feel impactful to read.

I as actually very excited for Hen's book since I meet her in the first book because I truly felt like she was such a boss lady. And she was!!! She didn't disappoint, and honestly I loved how Kennedy wrote Hen's character and her backstory. I love seeing her be a boss and get to the place she was in her life. I also really loved Mav's character and I think he is the man that any woman wants in his life.

I know this book touched upon sensitive topics (Hen's mom's condition). Kennedy did her research and it really shows. I always applaud Kennedy's commitment to bring visibility to important topics and also that she tries to stay true to her writing. Truly a great book, and I would really miss this book series.

Thank you Kennedy and team for the arc, and until I get to read another masterpiece.

PS. I loved seeing all the girls together again. Forever friendship goals.

My final rating:
1. Before I let go (this will forever be my favorite)
2. Can't get enough (this book)
3. This Could be Us (still a great book)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25🌶️🌶️

*** releases May 13, 2025***

not sure I’ll ever be able to put into words how much I love Kennedy’s writing and all the effort/research she puts into her books + topics. && you know it isn’t a Kennedy Ryan book if you don’t shed a few tears 🥰

I’ve been so excited for Hendrix’s story! I adored it & had the best time getting a deep dive into her character!

One thing about Kennedy is you will get romance but you will always get so much more than that. These characters and their circumstances feel so real and often times moments that can be relatable.

As a nurse who has worked in long term care and with the elderly I have insight on what it is like caring for someone who has Alzheimer’s and Kennedy handled this topic with such care and in such great detail. & for Hendrix to find a partner who related to her so much and could really support her in a way that she didn’t know she needed made their story even better.

I loved Mav, the man knew how to care for a women and went above and beyond for our girl Hendrix (she deserved nothing less).

I have loved this series so much and I’ve loved watching Hendrix, Yasmen & Soledad individually grow and the impact their friendships have in their life. The way Kennedy described that platonic friendship 😭😭😭😭.

I could truly go on and on about this book & kennedys writing 💖

Thank you so much Netgalley & Forever publishing for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!!

Kennedy Ryan does it again! Hendrix is the kind of FMC I want to read about in every book. I love a romance that touches on deeper topics and family dynamics, and this one checks every box. And the way Maverick loves Hen sure doesn’t hurt.

Thanks so much to Kennedy Ryan and Forever for the advanced e-copy of Can’t Get Enough! I honestly think this might be my favorite book in the whole Skyland series. 🤭

I’ve always loved Hendrix. She’s literally the GOAT. She’s been this bright, badass, boss babe in Yasmen’s and Soledad’s love stories, and seeing her finally get the love she truly deserves made my heart so full. And as an only child with older parents, her journey with her mother’s illness broke me. Alzheimer’s is no joke and it’s clear Kennedy took the greatest care dealing with this sensitive subject like she always does. The way she captured the grief, the fear, and the helplessness that comes with watching a loved one fade was so raw. We’ve seen Hendrix be strong for everyone around her, always showing up for the people she loves, and now she was the one in need of care and support.

And then enters Mr. Handsome Billionaire, Maverick Bell 🥰 OMG! That man! 😮‍💨💕 He was so perfect for our girl Hendrix in every single way. The way he loved her, how deeply he supported her and just wanted to stand by her side—it left me speechless. Hendrix needed someone who could love her with the same intensity and devotion she gives to others, and Mav delivered on all fronts. That’s a good man right there fr! 😭💕

This book was everything I knew it would be. Absolutely perfect, just like Before I Let Go and This Could Be Us. And I couldn’t be happier knowing that all my Skyland besties are thriving with their families and the loves of their lives. 💕

Can’t Get Enough completely stole my heart. This book had me hooked from start to finish, and I already know it’s going to stay with me for a long time.
Hendrix’s journey was so powerful. Seeing her navigate love, ambition, and the sacrifices that come with being a Black woman in the entrepreneurial space hit me hard. The way Kennedy Ryan highlights Black girl magic as more than just a phrase—showing the sacrifice, resilience, and strength behind it—felt so real. As a creative who’s been working at it but hasn’t quite seen the light yet, I felt that deep in my soul.

One thing about Kennedy Ryan—she teaches through her stories. She gives us love, but she also gives us real lessons about healing and knowing your worth. And the best part? Her books just keep getting better, she’s thriving, growing, and giving us even richer characters and deeper emotions with every story.

This book had me cracking up, while also taking time for “heart checks” in my own friendships and life. And I think it is so important to really learn from the books we re reading and this is always happening with a book by Kennedy Ryan.

This book was a reminder to never forget who you are and to always know you deserve the best. Kennedy Ryan did it again, and I already can’t wait for her next one. ✨💕

I always enjoy Ryan's books and Can't Get Enough was another good read. I've always loved Hendrix. She's so accomplished. She's a shark at business, has made quite an empire for herself and banked a lot of money. She's strong and confident. She knows who she is and what she can do. No one is stopping her. Yet, she has the most loving side. For a woman who's never wanted kids, she's got so much love to give her "nieces" and their mom's, her best friends. She loves being the rich, doting auntie. She doesn't need a man and in fact most men are too intimidated to be of interest to her. Until Maverick. The billionaire just might be strong enough to compliment Hendrix and make her happy.

As mentioned, I love Hendrix. I also loved Maverick. He's strong yet caring and sweet. He may run a huge enterprise and have a ton on his plate but he's not above making Hendrix breakfast, or being there when she needs a shoulder. He's so good to her. He loves her curvy figure. He just plain loves her. I so enjoyed watching these two overcome all the obstacles on the way of their happily ever after. Hendrix not only keeps an incredibly busy schedule but now her mother needs her. From experience, I can say Ryan did a great job with Hendrix and her mother's Alzheimers. Hendrix is so giving to her mother and so loving. Her aunt is great too. Through her caregiving in her mom's home not only is Maverick not a burden or distraction, he's 100% there to make her life easier. And he's so great with her mom!

Mav's ex-girlfriend who's not being gracious to her new business partner, Hendrix, adds to the already intense lives these two live. Hendrix's attempts to break into television production and Maverick's ongoing purchase of a pro basketball team aren't making life easy either. These two have way too much going on. Most established relationships couldn't handle the stress. Can Hendrix and Maverick find their way through all this? Can they ever find their happiness? You'll really enjoy finding out!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

4.5 ⭐️
Look, if Kennedy Ryan writes it, best believe I’m going to read it. Every book in this series is amazing. Before I let go is still my favorite, but I really enjoyed Hendrix and Maverick’s story as well. Kennedy is so good at writing complex, multifaceted characters and Hendrix is no exception. She is fiercely strong and independent, she stands on business, while also following her heart and being be soft and vulnerable. I loved how Hen and Mav had a strong emotional connection and were very supportive of each other (especially Mav towards Hen’s struggles with her mother’s Alzheimer’s and her work/business). The core three women’s friendship throughout this series is beautiful. I love how they always show up for each other and it’s just great to see women uplifting and supporting each other. This was a wonderful conclusion to the series and I’m sad to see it end, but have really enjoyed the journey.
