While this is a solid 5 star read for me, I also have to admit it's my least favourite book in the series. But that's just because the previous books have been absolute masterpieces, and this one didn't have the same impact on me. Still, it's an amazing romance, and one that I had a hard time putting down. There was so many undeniable chemistry between Hendrix and Maverick, and all I wanted was to see them together.

Throughout the entire Skyland series, I have always loved Hendrix and how she shows up for her family and friends. We’ve seen glimpses of how much her loved ones mean to her and how much of a boss she is, and this book highlights that even more. In some ways, it was relatable for me in understanding Hendrix’s desire for more in her personal life while refusing to settle or conform to society's expectations.

The book is a bit of a slow burn, and while I love the connection between Hendrix and Maverick, I felt she was slighted by how their relationship began. She does get her happy ending, but it doesn’t come without its challenges.

That being said, I enjoyed seeing others pour into Hendrix when she needed it most.

Thank you, NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing), for the digital ARC.

Kennedy Ryan never ceases to amaze me in her story telling. 𝐶𝑎𝑛’𝑡 𝐺𝑒𝑡 𝐸𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ, the conclusion to the Skyland series, was all that and more. Hendrix, the character that I have loved throughout the entire series, continues to be that strong Black woman who is unafraid to speak her mind which I loved that about her! We get to dive deeper into Hendrix’s and her world to see how she gets her HEA!

What I love most about Kennedy Ryan’s books is that they go beyond the boundaries of a typical romance novel. They are full of family dynamics, friendships, and real-life experiences/topics that one can tell that K. Ryan carefully researches and handles with the utmost care. This allows you as a reader to truly immerse yourself in the characters’ lives, feeling as if you are living these stories through their lenses.

The blossoming love between Hendrix and Maverick is a joy to experience. Their relationship is filled with passion, a bit of drama, and an outpouring of love that keeps you hooked from start to finish. 🌹🌹🌹 The drama adds just the right amount of tension, making their love story even more absorbing.

K. Ryan’s ability to weave such intricate and heartfelt narratives is truly amazing, and I definitely “𝐶𝑎𝑛’𝑡 𝐺𝑒𝑡 𝐸𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ” of her talent and I will be eagerly anticipating whatever comes next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Just when you think it can’t get better, it does. Can’t Get Enough is the third instalment in the Skyland series and I fall more and more in love with every couple.

Hendrix is a girl boss who is still working towards accomplishing her goals. Having seen those she loves hindered by a man, she won’t let love stand in her way. Maverick is already ‘making it’ in the sense that he has done what he set out to do. When he meets Hendrix, he thinks he has found a kindred spirit and that she is the one - despite his being newly out of a relationship. Naturally with Hendrix’s feelings about love this isn’t going to be smooth sailing, but the push and pull of the chemistry and passion between Maverick and Hendrix is illustrated so well, and both characters are so well written, that I could not tear myself away until I found out if these two would make it work.

This book is a reminder of why so many readers love Kennedy Ryan, she has done it again with a book that fans of the series and those picking this up as a standalone will love!

Kennedy Ryan is one of my favorite romance authors. She has a gift for writing and representing real life so well. I enjoy her work so much, and the Skyland series was one so near and dear to my heart like many others because of the representation of sisterhood, love in all forms, and resilience.

Can’t Get Enough fell a bit flat for me. I wanted more for Hendrix as she has been the rock for so many people around her in the other books in the Skyland series. I did not particularly enjoy how her and the MMC came to be, or the obstacles they had to face. Don’t get me wrong I love a good billionaire/friends to lovers trope but the plot was not my fav. I would have loved to have seen Hendrix not have fight so hard for the love that she deserved. It made it hard to connect with the plot as much as I wanted to.

Thank you to Forever Pub & Kennedy Ryan for this eARC!

The way I took as much time as I could with this book just so my time with Hendrix and Maverick wouldn’t end so quick is too real and you’ll understand when you read!!

I have to say this just might be my favorite book of Kennedy’s. Her story writing, her research, the way she makes sure to include real topics with grace is incredible.

Hendrix and Maverick connect on so many levels: emotional, intellectual, physical, and more. Their biggest link is the impact of Alzheimer’s on their loved ones and how it has affected them and their families. Two strong, beautiful, independent individuals come together in this story and support each other so gently. Their communities they built support them and hold them up.

The Skyland stories technically end with this book but there was no better ending. I loved every minute of this book. I loved the way it ended and how there wasn’t too much of resolution in some areas… brings the realism in.

I don’t think I could shut up about this book if I tried. I strongly recommend!!

Thank you Kennedy for your hard work and for sharing your passion with us💜

Kennedy Ryan definitely did her big one with this book.
I honestly think it was her best work. I was extremely excited about Hendrix's story because I knew it was gonna be the best of the Skyland series and I was right.
Hendrix standing on business and Maverick not taking no for an answer, yes ma'am.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

I am speechless yet again because of Kennedy Ryan’s storytelling. Her characters are realistic and live remarkable yet ordinary lives.

Everyone one of the books in the Skyland series hits a hard topic. This one tackles Alzheimer’s disease through Hendrix’s mom, as well as Hendrix’s taking on the role of caregiver.

This book also tackles an independent and highly successful woman allowing others to help her and take care of her. Hendrix and Maverick are the perfect power couple and we love to see it work out for them.

Of course there’s spice and of course there are tears it wouldn’t be the Skyland series. I look forward to the publishing date so I can have all three women together. A beautiful trio of books and women.

Thank you to Forever Publishing for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This series has been close to my heart since I first read Before I Let Go back in 2022. I have rooted for all of these women, and I’ve loved seeing them all have their own moment to shine. I’ve been so excited for Hendrix’s story, and once again, Kennedy never, ever disappoints. She always has such a beautiful way of writing love in all its different forms.

Hendrix is a badass taking care of all of her clients and working with her capital venture fund. She knows what her goals are and nothing can unhinge those… until… Maverick Bell comes into play. Hendrix and Maverick were made for each other. There is obviously a clear attraction between them, which is obvious from the moment they meet, but it goes so much deeper than that. They have an instant connection of familiarity— ‘I see you and I get you.’ A fondness that finds them both at an impasse until they choose each other. One goal he has for their time together is, ‘Let’s be good to each other.’ And I love how simple that sounds, yet it requires both of them to see the other person—truly and deeply. I loved watching their love unfold.

And I can’t leave a review without saying how much I appreciated Kennedy’s portrayal of Alzheimer’s. As someone who has had family members and worked close with the elderly, I know the toll dementia can have on a person and their family. It was so nice to see this portrayal in a book. With Kennedy, you’re always going to get more than just a romance. You’re getting an entire experience.

Sometimes, it really just is such an honor to read a book cover to cover, to allow a story to unfold that is unique and beautiful and complicated. I’m grateful for Kennedy’s voice always, but especially at this moment in time.

This book comes out 5/13/25. Don’t miss it, friends. It is such a gorgeous story.

As usual, Kennedy Ryan did her thing. I loved Hendrix since the first book (Before I Let Go) and was super excited to finally get her story. The rich auntie energy was everything! Maverick is my favorite book boyfriend of this series. She did such a good job telling the story of someone with Alzheimer's and what it's like to care for them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Hendrix and Maverick? Oooooomg. Like an actually ethical billionaire? Yes please.

The sexual tension is immediate between these two, despite Hendrix fighting with *everything* in her to not act on it. And when they finally do? HOOOOOO LORD. Steamy, spicy, all the things. I love how badass Hendrix is as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. She takes such good care of everyone in her life, but doesn't neglect herself. The B-plots of TV shows and basketball team acquisitions were such good distractions from their chemistry, but I most enjoyed the commentary on racism in the VC sphere. It's incredibly relevant for the times we're in now.

Ultimately though, I think I'm just not a dementia caretaker book girlie. Hits a little too close to home, but that's on me.

Kennedy Ryan knows how to tug on your heartstrings but this one just didn’t live up to my expectations unfortunately. I was bored throughout the entire book.. I guess because this series as a whole reads more women’s fiction and that’s just not my vibe.

Was this review helpful?

Ok. I loved that book so much. I feel like Hendrix proved that you can really have it all. Women don’t have to sacrifice their dreams for a man. They don’t have to “submit “ . Maverick is proof that you can find a man that only wants to add love to your life. Not force you to sacrifice or compromise on your dreams and goals for his needs. I also loved the sisterhood and friendship that is also represented between Yas Hendrix and Soledad 🥺. The representation of community and love and showing up touched my heart. Also. What’s going on with Bolt and Skipper ? 🤭 I hope they get a book. I also appreciated the discussion on affirmative action. Go Hendrix !

This dual POV love story was a most satisfying end to the Skyland series about three African American best friends finding love in their 40s. Hendrix is childfree by choice and not expecting to fall hard for Black billionaire, Maverick but when she meets him at a party the sparks fly and they bond over a shared history of family members with Alzheimer's.

Maverick lost his grandfather to the disease but Hendrix is very much in the middle of trying to be her mother's caregiver while still pursuing her own business goals. Emotional, swoony and spicy with amazing female friendship, this book will grab you by the heart and not let go to the very last page. Highly recommended for fans of authors like Tia Williams or Jayne Allen. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

This book was absolutely perfect! I was so excited to finally read Hendrix’s story and I have so many bittersweet feelings right now because this was SO good but I am so sad it’s over!

This book was so touching in so so many ways. Hendrix is just such an amazing FMC! I admire everything she is and her character literally inspires me. She’s so unapologetically herself, so down to earth yet knows what she deserves. She carries herself in a way I hope one day I will.
Now… Maverick!? I am basically praying and manifesting a man like him✨ that man SHOWS how much he loves her, how much he admires her, how much he respects and trusts her, and his love never once wavers. Ugh. May we all find a man like Maverick Bell!
I’m sad to say goodbye to these characters but I cannot wait to see what Kennedy Ryan writes next!

Thank you, NetGalley for my early copy💖

This was destined to be my favorite of the series from jump Street, but I was I'll prepared for exactly how much I would love this story. Hendrix is so many of us, sacrificing over and over for a "greater good" while simultaneously giving to herself the priority society denied. Mav is my problematic fave, with his dogged determination and enviable balance of self assuredness and self centeredness. Most importantly, the focus on the importance of community in a time where women are still being reduced to the romantic relationships they enter had me crying in my e-reader. I don't want to give anything away, but I absolutely loved this.

Was this review helpful?

Omg!!!!! I absolutely adored this book. This may just be my favorite of the series. I loved how Hendrix knew exactly who she was and what she wanted. How she never sacrificed who she was for anything. I loved how we got to see her in her soft girl era. How Maverick chased our girl and showed her the love she deserved.

Well as per usual, Kennedy Ryan delivers with a beautifully written story that is equal parts heartfelt, romantic, and poignant. I don't want to spoil with quotes from the book but her note at the end "My stories are here to engage, to provoke and encourage. We are having a conversation, you and I, when you read my books." And yeah. Kennedy always makes me think so much more deeply when I read her books.
Hendrix's story pulled right at my heart strings. While I've never been in her situation with her family, I've been through something relatively similar (assuming a caretaker role for a parent) and I just felt for her so much. It's hard to know what are the right steps and even confident Hendrix felt shaky at times.
Which leads to the beautiful found family and support system in this book. It was making me tear so much to see and feel the sense of community in this story. I loved it so, so much.
And of course, Maverick. Man that he is. I was swooning so hard, and he had all the right moves for Hendrix. The chemistry between them was next level. They truly were the perfect person for each other and I could just read pages and pages and pages of them together talking about everything and nothing.
It was such a good read, I devoured it in roughly a day. It was impossible to put down.
Thank you to Forever Publishing and Netgalley for an early copy. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

Can’t Get Enough is the third book in the Skyland series written by Kennedy Ryan.

*Billionaire MMC
*Forbidden love
*He falls first and harder

I love reading books where the two main characters know exactly what they want with their lives and have goals to make their dreams come true. I love books where adults are able to have open communication about what they want, and don’t want within their relationships. I love books where exploring your sexuality is encouraged and talked about on page.

Another excellently written book by Kennedy Ryan!

A tiny bit of OW drama due to the FMC falling for her friend/colleague’s ex, the MMC and the ex broke up right before the main characters started seeing each other. No cheating, no third act breakup, guaranteed HFN.
