Can't Get Enough was the perfect ending to the Skyland series. I absolutely loved how the author explored the ideas of women holding their own, being caregivers, and loving themselves. Hendrix was one character that I could not wait to get to know better and I am so glad her book was saved for last as it was so beautifully written.

This book has officially dried out my tear ducts. As far as I am concerned, NO ONE writes a MMC like Kennedy Ryan. NO ONE researches the themes of their books like Kennedy Ryan.
This book touched my heart in SO many places it’s almost unreal. I had an aunt who had Alzheimer’s and what Hendrix went through is all to familiar 💔
This story is one that every single independent woman dreams of. Even though we r bad on our own, it’s exhausting standing on business alone. When the MMC says he wants to give Hendrix’s a life that makes her feel soft **swoon***
Excellent finale to the Skyland Series🤌🏾🫰🏾🫶🏾

This has become an all time favorite read. Kennedy Ryan writes such captivating, real romances. I have no words for how much I enjoyed this.

As someone in their 30s, it's a breath of fresh air reading romances centered around those in their 30s/40s. It feels like I was part of Hendrix's & Mav's real life. Their passion for one another was felt through every word written. The build up on the chemistry and how they both knew exactly what they wanted and who they were, and not comprising any of that was inspiring. Kennedy Ryan is one of those authors I always recommend, specifically to those of us who have gone through a lot of ups and downs in life. Not only am I experiencing family health matters with my own parent (cancer), my husband's family is experiencing their loved one going through Alzheimer's and wow, did this hit all of those signs and emotions we've been experiencing. And talk about the timing of reading this as his grandpa's Alzheimer's has gotten worse within the last few weeks, and mostly at night. It made me feel seen and gave me a better understanding of a disease that is often times hard to understand.

Thank you truly for this beautiful masterpiece. I feel like every book Kennedy writes attaches itself to my heart and stays there for life.

I am fully biased because I love Kennedy Ryan, so absolutely 5 stars. This one is for the chronically single girlies, the ones who don’t want to get married, the ones who are waiting for their perfect partner. Out of all the books, this one resonated with me the most; it was the most personal to me. I still think Before I Let go is the best, but Can’t Get Enough is probably my favorite and I adored every moment of it.

KENNNNNNEDYYYYYY. Omg omg omg. I knew from book 1 of the Skyland series that Hendrix was going to be my favorite and this book only confirmed what I knew.

Now the author note had me bawling ... who does that?😂 this book was one emotional rollercoaster and I'd pay to get on the ride again.

MAVERICK???? What a mannnnnnn. He was literally everything.

This book couldn't have been written any better

4/5 stars!!

Wow. Kennedy Ryan is SOOOOOOO back. I won't lie after This Could be us I was a bit nervous to pick this up, because Soledads story fell very flat to me and is one of my least favorite books. However THIS???? OH PERIODDDDDDDD. Hendrix and Maverick are my all time favs. THIS is the kind of story i was waiting on from Ms. Ryan.

I genuinely have no notes on the romance, the spice, i mean all of it was good. I loved the work Hendrix was doing and how she knew herself so well. I LOVEDDDD and LIVEDDDDD for the drama between Zere and Hendrix. I wish there was a lil more of that, and I do wish that was fleshed out a bit more. Maverick was absolutely the perfect MMC, and he was just so mature and I loved it. You dont see the plotline of not wanting kids often, but i lived for this. I saw myself in Hendrix so much.

The only gripe i have with this book is the end. It just....ends. I feel like as the last book of the series the end needed SO much more wow factor. This felt flat, unfinished, and left us off on what felt like a cliffhanger. I think the ending works for Hendrix and Maverick themselves, but SO much was left unanswered in my opinion. We dont find out what happens with Hen's Mom, all the work Hendrix had done for her company is just left open ended, and Maverick did all that to buy a team and we arent even sure what happens with it. I just feel like the epilogue was not a true epilogue if im being honest. There needed to be more loose ends tied up in my opinion. I feel like there needs to be a novella or something and that....is not really what you want to feel for the last book in a series. I do however hope we get a novella about bolt and skipper. I loved them DEOWNNNN.

The other problem for me is i was confused the ENTIRE time of where they were located. Oh lemme go back to my mama oh lemme go to atlanta oh lemme go to skyland oh lemme go to Cali oh wait now im in japan– WHAT IS GOING ON??? WHERE THEY AT???? Like it was a little too much for me. I get they had money and could take all these flights and Maverick was a billionaire, but i just couldnt keep up. I STILL dont even know where her mama lived cause the ENTIRE time i thought she was in skyland. I guess not??? Idk yall i genuinely could not figure out where they were half the time. It also seemed like there were time jumps but they were not labeled? They were not....emphasized? It would just be like "OH! We are in Malibu for the week" and then the next chapter would be "I'm so sad to be leaving malibu" ......? Like why we just skipping around 😭 especially if its an important moment for the book/romance?

Overall this was a really good and fun read. Hendrix and her mom almost had me in shambles and crying, the romance was good, the spice gave all it needed to give, and i enjoyed myself SO much with this read.

Without a doubt 5 stars and are we surprised?! Kennedy Ryan does something so beautiful in her books, the time she puts into research and how she handles tender topics with such care shows in every single page! Hendrix’s story was everything I could have wanted and more, it’s raw and real, there’s laughter and tears along the way and so much love!! I was gripped from the moment I started until I finished!! (Which was in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down!!) so beyond obsessed with Mav and Hendrix!!
If you haven’t read a Kennedy book yet, what are you doing?? RUN!!

What can I say? I "can't get enough" of Kennedy Ryan's work! I know that was super cheesy, but y'all, Kennedy Ryan has me in a choke hold with her books. As soon as she releases something new, I need it expeditiously.

Now let's get into this review. Initially, I thought Hendrix's story might take the top spot over Before I Let Go for me. I was instantly invested and immediately fell in love with Hen. She was fierce, confident, beautiful and extremely successful. But on top of all of those things, she was so down to earth and real. There are some things that Kennedy Ryan does well with her writing. One of those is the amount of care and research she puts into them. From the nods to the culture to the real life trials that people face, she tackles everything so well! I loved the venture fund storyline featuring Hendrix and a couple of her friends. It's so inspiring to see Black girls not only in such a positive light, but also in a position where they've succeeded to a point where they can bring up other Black girls. And when the trio of Yasmen, Soledad, and Hendrix were back together it felt like a reunion with my home girls.

Now can we talk about Maverick????? If there's one person who is the queen of writing book boyfriends, it's Miss Kennedy because babyyyyy, Maverick was *chef's kiss.* He was down bad for Hendrix, and I ate it up! He was so in tune with her needs even before she was aware. He was very intentional with their relationship and it was evident in the thought and care he put into everything he did for her and gave to her. He will forever have my heart.

I could write for days about this book, but a couple of other things I just want to mention:

1. My heart broke for Hendrix's mom's situation. While I haven't experienced that with a loved one, it elicited some very real emotions for me. Since I don't have first hand experience, I can't say for certain, but to me Kennedy presented Alzheimer's is a very real and genuine way.
2. I ADORED Mav's relationship with his dad. I truly appreciated how healthy it was and how talking about therapy was a normal thing for them. I also loved that Mav wanted to have something that he could do to give back to his dad, and I loved it even more that he intended for it to be something they could have/do together. It warmed my heart so much.

If you can't tell, I'm obsessed with this story and so sad that it's the last book of the friend group. Fingers crossed for a spinoff with Skipper and Bolt because I need to know about their conversations behind closed doors that led to what they led to, haha.

my rating: 4.5 stars rounded up to 5

Kennedy can writeeeeeeeeeah! *Hendrix voice* 😂
There’s something about Kennedy’s writing that always gets me. All of her books are so well researched and you just can tell how much work she puts into, not just the romance, but also the back story. How she navigates through difficult conversations so seamlessly is something she really needs to get applauded for. I’m genuinely in awe of her ability to talk to her readers so loudly and I’m so grateful we get to have such a brilliant author who is not afraid to speak out through her work.

Kennedy, I’m so beyond proud of you. Success is when the basket ball players, investors, and celebrities mentioned in your book are from your other books. Like, you have an entire world of your own! I got to have glimpses of Grip, August, Keenan, Yas, Sol and so many of our favorites and I kept giggling like, “That’s Jean and em!” That’s magic. 💜

Hen and Mav’s story is one of a kind. Yes, they’re hot (he’s a surfer boy for crying out loud!!! 😭) and they get at it like bunnies, but the kind of resilience, patience, and respect they have for one another beautiful. I simply can’t get enough of them (see what I did there?😉).

I’m so grateful for Forever publishing and Kennedy Ryan for letting me read this three months in advance because I surely would’ve been in misery till May.

Can’t Get Enough will be released on May 13th. So excited to see this one on NYT best sellers!

Exceptional. Phenomenal. Captivating. Remarkable.

Hendrix’s story is the perfect ending to the Skyland series & tbh… Does it really have to end? (*sad*)

I will miss reading about Yasmen, Soledad & Hendrix but I will remember their stories. I loved every minute of the three books and I must say that they are Kennedy Ryan’s best work to date. Her writing style draws you in and keeps you hooked from start to finish. The storylines of black women being loved on right is one I will never get tired of. All of the women faced unique life challenges and how they navigate them along with their partners’ support was a resonating part of their stories for me.

It reminds me & is a reminder to you all to “be good to each other”.

The more books I read by this author, the more I’m convinced that she’ll never be able to top the way Before I Let Go made me feel. I recommend that book to everybody I know!

This book wasn’t bad though! I definitely enjoyed myself and will continue to read anything that this author publishes. I do love a book with a billionaire that’s down bad.

Spice was good, characters were nice, storyline was solid. Good job 👏🏼

I love K. Ryan’s books because I always know I’m going to get a well balanced story that packs a punch of emotional depth, spice and humor!

Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan is more than a love story—it’s a profound journey that stirred my soul. As someone stepping into my 40s soon, this book gave me a rare sense of hope and excitement for what’s to come for me. Hen and Mav’s relationship feels like something we all dream of—a love so real, so consuming, that it leaves no room for insecurity. Mav’s devotion to Hen is awe-inspiring, a reminder of the kind of love that sees you fully and loves you deeper for it. That line—“I search for self-consciousness, but can’t make room for it, not with him.”—left me speechless. There were so many bars in this book— her writing is emotionally resonant and just completely captivating:
🌹 “There’s a sizzle where our skin meets, and it burns through the thin skin of my fingertip.”
🌹 “But I want to give you everything, Hen. You work hard. Let me make things soft for you.”— 😮‍💨

This story also felt like an ode to Black excellence, a love letter to all of us striving for greatness. Kennedy Ryan weaved this sense of power and possibility into every page, making you believe in the extraordinary. Another thing I loved was the fact that Auntie G + Hen’s mama really had an unshakable faith in Jesus, reminding me of the quiet strength that anchors so many of us. & can I just say that the way the church community was portrayed in this story truly embodies what the Church should be everywhere! It was a reflection of the beauty that comes from deep, unwavering support of true community.

Lastly, I really felt seen in Hendrix’s character in ways I won’t say right now but just know that this book touched me deeply, resonating in ways I can’t fully explain. It’s an unforgettable story of love, faith, and the limitless potential within us. Five perfect, and well deserved stars!

2.5
It saddens me to write this review because this was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. The first two books in the skyland series made its way into my top 10 reads during the year that I read them.

Unfortunately Cant Get Enough missed the mark on several levels for me. For starters, this Hendrix felt much different than the one we’ve been introduced to in book one and two. Of course we were suppose to get different shades of her in her own book and I thought she would shine, but Hendrix felt one dimensional to me. And to think of it, all the characters did.

Maverick as a MMC is someone I could never get behind. I’ve had this conversation with multiple friends who got the ARC and we all agree. He seems to bounce around and doesn’t really know what he wants.

- SOME SPOILERS BELOW-

Them as a couple felt weak. I honestly wish we didn’t meet Mav the way we did. He could have been literally anyone. Just another man at the party who she meets either through Zere or just organically. The whole Hendrix, Marv, Zere thing was unnecessarily messy.
I could never feel their connection and because of that. I could not root for them as a couple.

Mav has this I don’t want to be serious with anyone unless it’s Hendrix vibe, But we never get to the reason as to why he’s so attracted to her. He sees her dance on top of a table at a party and is instantly drawn to her and they have a conversation where they share family trauma but thats about it. I don’t see how that one instance made him want to go out of his way and Cant get Hendrix off his mind and insistently pursues especially when she’s saying no. Why does Hendrix like him??? The night after the party she’s thinking that anyone would be lucky to have him?? Why does she think and feels this way after one interaction? She doesnt dont know him. There emotional connection needed more development.

I also could not bring myself to like Mav because if we really look at him. He gives the impression that he doesn’t even like Zere. Let alone wasted both of their time for 3 years and claims he loves her.

I feel that Hendrix’s decision for not wanting kids was a plot device to make her fit into Mav’s life because he doesn’t want kids. Towards the end when asked if he would want kids if Hendrix did he says yes even though he was extremely adamant about never wanting anymore kids. Why? What makes her so special that he would change his entire outlook on life for her?

The side interactions with Skipper & Bolt??? It felt like it was trying really hard to play into typical rom com troupes that made it hard to read. That entire "side plot" could have been cut out.

I did enjoy the bits between Hendrix and her mom and aunt, and of course with her Yas & Soledad. I have a lot more to say on why this didn’t work for me, but I don’t want this review to be extremely long.

Hopefully this does not sound too harsh, because I am not trying to be.

All that said. I’ll always be a Kennedy Ryan fan. I love what she has done for the book community. Her books enrich lives by educating us while simultaneously pulling at our heart strings. Cant Get Enough felt like it was trying to accommodate and appeal to the readers of the romance genre who prefer a certain type of romance. If this wasn’t a Kennedy Ryan book I would have DNF around the 20-30% in. Of course there are people that will love this. This one just did not work for me.

I don’t think it’s possible for me to read a Kennedy Ryan book without getting emotional. Can’t Get Enough was just as amazing as the other two books in the series, and I feel like I’ve learned so much from it. The way Kennedy Ryan handled Alzheimer's—showing not just how it affects the person diagnosed but also their loved ones—was so well-researched and deeply moving. She never fails to bring real, important topics into her stories, and this book was no different.

As someone in my 20s still trying to figure out this thing called life, it was so refreshing to read about someone like Hendrix—someone who refuses to let society put her in a box. Would it be crazy if I said she’s officially one of my role models? I aspire to be like her. She’s successful, confident, and doesn’t settle, even when it comes to love.

The support system in this book? Absolutely beautiful. It’s exactly the kind of circle I want for myself one day—people who truly want the best for you and stand by your side through the highs and lows. This story really emphasized the importance of fostering healthy relationships and building a strong community.

And I have to mention this line from Hendrix: “But these two women are just as much my soulmates.” That part had me SOBBING. Our girls have come such a long way, and seeing them happy was everything.

Honestly, I’m not ready for this series to end. I need more! I don’t want to let them go just yet.

This book was absolutely amazing! I loved the glimpses of Hendrix from the previous books in the series, and getting more of her did not disappoint! Hendrix is such a loving, caring woman that absolutely deserves every bit of success and joy. I love the depth of her character - career, family, love, being childless by choice. Kennedy is so talented!

SO FREAKING EXCITED that I got to ARC read this, it was such a perfect and emotional read 😭 the entire book is so Halo by Beyoncé and the way the MCs choose each other is The Alchemy by Taylor Swift, I'm so incoherent rn 🥲

Both the MCs had beautiful character arcs, I loved reading about their careers and their fight for the community. The FMC is also a caretaker for her mother with Alzheimer's, and every scene was written with so much care and love <3

Also, there were so many women friendships and found families in this book, I could cry. We have Hendrix's bffs from the previous books in this series and multiple groups of Hendrix's work friends, and every conversation between them all was >>>>>

ALSO also the romance? Freaking perfect. The slow-burn and the swoon and the showing up for each other legit made me tear up 😭

I'm very sure I've missed a lot of other stuff I loved about this book (Skipper and Bolt!! Can we get a novella??? Please???), I highly highly recommend people pick this one up when it releases ❤️

TWs - parent/grandparent with Alzheimer's, death of parents (past), racism and targeted attacks on laws designed for racial equality

A very heartfelt story! I felt so connected to Hendrix, our main character, which was absolutely a testament to the writing style and choices Kennedy Ryan makes. She writes such strong yet vulnerable women and men who are so patient with their woman. I think if you've never read a Kennedy Ryan book, you're definitely missing out. I absolutely loved our MMC here, he spoiled her and was so down bad which he showed through his actions, it was amazing to see. I loved how mature both our main characters were even with some messy plot lines happening.

Even though the romance was so gripping to me, the friendships really stole the show in my opinion - I love when women have each other's backs! I also loved the fact that Hendrix is childless by choice because in a society that makes it so you only have worth as a women if you have a child, it's amazing to see representation for those who don't want that and it still means they are a woman who has worth. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This might be my favourite in the series. There was just something about Hendrix that I really connected to - her drive, her passion, her desire to succeed. Maverick was very humble even given his fortune and the two of them together felt like fireworks on the page!! These are two MCs who I really wanted to see succeed independently and together. Their relationship felt extremely authentic and real. The conflicts in the book felt real and thought out, and I really applaud Kennedy for her ability to invoke such emotion and her ability to write thoughtfully about these issues. I really, really love this series - this was a phenomenal read!!

Kennedy Ryan does it again! This book felt different from the other two in the series, but in the way that each FMC has their own voice. Hendrix is out-going and fun, but she also has a soft side that really shines bright in this book. As someone who has had a grandmother with dementia, this story executed the vast highs and lows that come with it beautifully. Having someone like Mav who understood this, and went at Hendrix's pace (and pushed where needed) was also very heart warming.
