Whenever I read a Kennedy Ryan romance, I know not only am I going to be reading a phenomenal romance story but I'll also be reading a story that I can just TELL Ryan and has spent the time and care researching in order to tell the best story possible. Hendrix's story was something I have been excited to read ever since we met her as a character in the first Skyland book, and wow did this not disappoint!

Hendrix is such an amazing character to follow from her determination and independence and the love she has for the people in her life she holds close. Her love story with Maverick was everything I love about a billionaire romance and then some, with the added emotional level of Hendrix dealing with her mother's Alzheimers diagnoses and the progression of the disease. Maverick's story was also so interesting to follow and his and Hendrix's slow progression towards love was amazing to read about!

The only reason I didn't finish this sooner was because I have just not been in the mood for ebooks recently, but wants I got into the groove again I couldn't put this down. I'm pretty sure this is the conclusion to the Skyland series, and if it is I'm truly sad to see all these characters go. But I'll of course be picking up anything Kennedy Ryan decides to publish in the future!

i absolutely adore this series as a whole and i have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this book, but i feel like this was a little lacking in comparison to the other books in this series.

i was SO excited to read hendrix’s story, but truly i feel like she was done kind of dirty… maverick was one of my least favorite book boyfriends in a while. he could have been anyone, he didn’t have to be zere’s ex, i feel like that was a really pointless plot. i also didn’t like how pushy he was, at all. hendrix would say no and he would just keep trying and not in a cute way, in a very pushy and icky way. once i got the ick from this, it was really hard for me to view him in any other way. it just seemed like he was a rich entitled man who didn’t like hearing the word no.

i do love hendrix though, she’s one of my favorite fmc’s from this series. she’s so strong and such a bad ass character. we saw how successful she was and how she did it all without a man and i thought that was really cool to see. i did like how hendrix and maverick bonded over their parents and caring for them. i wish this book focused more on that bond because i think it would have been so much more meaningful.

all in all, i will still whole heartedly be recommending this series to literally anyone, but this book did not live up to my expectations and i didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as book 1 and 2.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH of Kennedy Ryan.

I'm not normally a fan of romance, but Ryan is my exception to that. She shares heartbreak, sensitive topics, and real life struggles with such care, while still getting that once-in-a-lifetime love story.

This series hit especially hard for me. I love that it's centered on three platonic soulmates, and I see a little of myself in all three women. But Hendrix and her caretaking? They hit me in the gut. And Ryan's care in writing about such a tough topic was evident. In the story she was able to weave in communication tactics and accomodations about. Alzheimer's.

If you like spicy stories with strong, middle aged FMC and real life themes of sisterhood, caretaking, self worth, and equity then this is one you should pick up!

I WILL say that as beautiful as this cover is - I do NOT think it represents how Hendrix is described in the book, and that's disappointing. (I also think that's on the publishing company and not the author). In general, I'm also not a fan on billionaires which the love interest is... Even so, I thought this was a great finale to the series!

I really loved being back in the Skyland series and getting to be inside Hendrix’s story! Kennedy Ryan writes such incredible female characters and friendships, and I love how she wove in themes of friendship, family, work, and the injustices Hendrix and women like her face. This book had me hooked from start to finish, and I’m sad the series is over!

This is hands down, my favorite of the entire series. The depth that Kennedy manages to infuse into her romance novels absolutely blows me away every single time. I never want her books to end! Hendrix had one of the most interesting stories of all three main characters in the series, and I loved seeing her allow herself to be loved and cherished without diminishing her strength.

Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan
.
When Hendrix meets Maverick she knows she’s in trouble. She has a lot on her plate, trying to get her client’s TV show deal, co-running her own group to invest in and support black women, as well as taking care of her mother who has alzheimer’s. Plus Maverick has been dating model Zere for the past three years, but Hendrix cannot deny she is attracted.
.
What I liked:
-Kennedy Ryan could write just about anything at this point and I’d read it. I was waiting to see what she would do with Hendrix’s story after all the tidbits we got from her in the previous two stories. I could tell Hendrix was someone I wanted to know more about.
-Hendrix and Maverick were similar in that they were both confident enough to know what they wanted and to go after it. I liked seeing them interact and recognize this in each other.
-The drama throughout this story was consuming and I stayed up till midnight last night finishing this.
.
4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m so glad I got the chance to read these three books. While I enjoyed all three I think Yasmen’s story was my personal favorite.

Kennedy Ryan's "Can't Get Enough" proves that lightning can strike three times in this stellar follow-up that matches—and possibly exceeds—the brilliance of its predecessors. For readers who fell in love with Ryan's characters the first few times around, this continuation delivers everything you could want and more.

What immediately sets Ryan's writing apart is her remarkable ability to craft characters of extraordinary depth and authenticity. Hendrix and Maverick feel genuinely real—complex, flawed individuals whose connection burns with an intensity that leaps off the page. Ryan balances their vulnerabilities with strength, creating a romance that feels both aspirational and attainable. The chemistry between them is electric, with intimate scenes that are both sensuous and meaningful, always advancing character development rather than merely providing heat.

The novel offers a rich cultural tapestry that enhances the story without overwhelming it. Ryan seamlessly integrates cultural elements that feel natural to the characters' lives and experiences, inviting readers from all backgrounds into a world that feels authentic and lived-in. This cultural richness adds texture and depth to an already compelling narrative.

One particularly satisfying element is the handling of complicated relationship dynamics, especially Maverick's ex. Rather than resorting to tired "catfight" tropes, Ryan gives us a confident protagonist in Hendrix who handles conflict with admirable poise and self-assurance. These moments showcase the emotional maturity that makes Ryan's characters so refreshingly adult in their approach to relationships.

While this book works as part of a series, Ryan's talent ensures that these characters and their world will linger long after the final page. Her gift for building emotional connections between readers and characters creates an immersive experience that transcends the typical romance novel.

"Can't Get Enough" confirms Kennedy Ryan's place as a master of contemporary romance, delivering stories that combine emotional depth, cultural richness, and sizzling chemistry in perfect proportion. For readers seeking romance with substance and heart, this book is absolutely essential.

kennedy is my go-to for a poignant, heart-felt romance that will inspire me as much as it will educate me, and hendrix's story proved why. i can't imagine how hard it was to write this story, especially given the state of the country right now, but i thank kennedy for writing such a fearless, authentic character-and for giving her the love she deserves. i love hendrix. i love maverick. and though their story started off on a less-than-ideal note, i truly adore their love. full review to come on release day!

KENNEDY RYAN YOU NEVER MISS!!!!
Okay but it's truly unfair how well her books always come out, share some talent with the rest of us.

Okay okay, seriously now. This book was everything. Billionaire boyfriend can have the tendency to be silly but somehow Kennedy Ryan turns this fantastical trope into one full of meaning, heart, and real emotions. I love when Kennedy Ryan writes romance because there's always a weight to it that makes it stick with you for a long time.

I will miss the Skyland series so much and can't wait to go back and reread often.

This was THE PERFECT ending to this series!! I loved the other two books, and this one did not disappoint! I have admittedly not read enough Kennedy Ryan books, but I love her writing so much. It full of so much HEART. She also knows how to balance real life struggles and heartbreak with the GOOD things about life. Seeing Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmen just being friends and laughing and trading each other is so SWEET. But she also had to deal with the her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. I thought Kennedy wrote everything with so much love and care and it really shows up on page how seriously she took this!

Maverick Bell IS THAT MAN. He is the exact man I was expecting Hendrix to be with! She is fun and fiercely independent and SO amazing and she couldn’t have been with anyone except Maverick?? Because he met her where she was and SUPPORTED her, all while making SO CLEAR he was down bad!! They were SO GOOD together!

I loved the epilogue! This group of friends has been through it and seeing them ALL end up happy and healthy and living their best lives was so sweet!

Hendrix is one fabulous lady running her own business, pursuing big goals, traveling, and having the time of her life. She's never felt the need to be in a relationship, let alone be married. After all, who has time for that when they are busy conquering the world?

But Hendrix unexpectedly meets her match in Maverick. Only, he's as off-limits as they come if she wants to stay the course for her next big goal. Maverick falls first and hard. Not one to be deterred, he's ready to show Hendrix she can have it all.

This book was really something special. I've loved all the books in the Skyland series, but honestly, this one is my favorite. It speaks volumes to a writer's craft when they can create a series that just gets better and better.

The richness of the characters and the world Kennedy Ryan created are incredible. I didn't want to leave them when I hit the last page. There was this incredible softness amidst all the ambition of this book, a tenderness that was evocative. Gorgeous writing that I couldn't get enough of!

May this love find me and whack me over the head because Hen and Mav are goals.

"The plan is love. It's the no matter how bad it gets or how much I want to run, I'll stay kind of love."

There were so many things I loved about this book and these characters. I loved reading a "later-ish in life" romance where the characters were securely in their late 30s, early 40s and were finding love then. I would say almost all the romances I read have characters in their mid 20s to early 30s, so this was a welcome difference. As a result of this choice, Ryan wrote characters very secure in who they are and what they want for their lives and from their relationships. This made for believable and grounded characters in Mav and Hen. I was also emotionally wrecked during any scene when Hen struggled with her mother's disease and care, and all the grief and emotions that come from a situation like that. Ryan wrote with such authenticity and care, I felt like I was right there in it with Hen.

I thought the "villain" was a little extreme in her entitlement, but I guess people act that way when they're heartbroken. I just wish she had held a little more compassion, which would have made her seem a little more rounded as a character.

Spicy rating: 4/5 🌶️

This was the perfect way to wrap up the series—different from the first two books, but just as emotional. Kennedy Ryan tackled heavy topics with grace, especially Hendrix’s journey through career changes, deep friendships, and her mother’s Alzheimer’s. The representation was beautifully done, and those moments nearly had me in tears.

Hendrix and Maverick had undeniable chemistry, and their slow burn was worth the wait. But some conflicts, like the drama with Zere, felt unresolved. The story built up major stakes, yet the ending felt a bit flat and rushed, leaving too many loose ends.

Despite its small flaws, the emotion in this book saved it. Kennedy Ryan knows how to pull on heartstrings, it was a heartfelt, powerful read.

Thank you to Forever Publishing for the free ARC via NetGalley.

This was my first ever Kennedy Ryan read and the hype is real!

I loved this story and its examination of love later in life without traditional/socialized views on relationships. Hendrix is my friend in my head (*Wendy Williams voice*) and I appreciated her attempts to remain true to her self even while falling for Maverick. Romance novels can often paint pictures of women willing to sacrifice it all for a man yet Hendrix knew she wanted love but not at the expense of herself/career. Maverick, Maverick, Maverick! When he realized he would change his mind for Hendrix, I knew he was all in!

Thoroughly enjoyed this novel!

Thanks NetGalley and Grand Central Pub for the arc!

I loved this book!!! Kennedy Ryan's Can't Get Enough is a sexy romance that dives into the lives of Hendrix Barry and Maverick Bell. Hendrix is a self-made, fiercely independent woman juggling her thriving business and caring for her aging mother. Maverick, a tech mogul, enters her life with charm and determination, challenging her views on relationships. Kennedy Ryan's storytelling is both heartfelt and engaging, capturing the complexities of modern love and personal sacrifice. This is a must read contemporary romance!

Rating: 5 stars

I would like to thank Forever Publishing for inviting me to read this as an ARC in exchange for my honest review. It was quite a blessing, and I am so grateful.

This was my most anticipated read of this year, and I was not disappointed. It is a little bittersweet knowing this is the end of the Skyland Series. This was the series that got me into romance in general.

Kennedy Ryan has a way of reaching your soul through these characters that are beautifully flawed and relatable. I can truly say I have seen a part of myself in every book of the Skyland Series. Book One (Before I Let Go) gave us grief and healing while helping us communicate our feelings. Book 2 (This Could Be Us) gave us courage and identity to do what we love and stand true to who we are while still holding on to hope and love. Which leads me to Book 3 (Can't Get Enough). This book gave me self-love and faith.

I have never felt so seen reading a book. Going in, I knew that Hendrix was that girl who would take no bull from anyone. She lives in her truth and is very confident. I never knew it would pull back so many layers that I, too, struggle with. Hendrix is the one that everyone leans on yet doesn't always prioritize herself. She has it all yet, but no one to share it with nore someone to share the load of her burdens. The topic of Alzheimers was very heartbreaking, yet it was beautifully done. The love and admiration that Hendrix showed was so sincere.

Revisiting the sister circle of Yasmin, Soladad, and Hendrix was so refreshing and reminded me of how important having a solid support system is. These girls have gone through hell and high water, yet they never cease to amazing me with how they hold one another down.

Hendrix is everything I thought she was and more. I was so grateful to see the vulnerable sides of her as well as get to experience her being loved correctly.

I hope to get to listen to the Audiobook once it is available as I think I speak for us all when I say I HAVE to hear this book with Hendrix voice as it is unmatched and a while different experience.

For sure, go read the book (or books) once it is released. You will not be disappointed.

Kennedy Ryan has done it again. Can’t Get Enough is a beautifully crafted, emotionally rich story that grips your heart from the very first page and doesn’t let go. This book isn’t just about love—it’s about healing, resilience, and the power of choosing yourself while choosing love.

The characters are so well-developed, so real, that they feel like people you know. Their struggles, their joys, their quiet moments of vulnerability—it all resonates deeply. Ryan has a gift for writing romance that isn’t just swoon-worthy, but also profound. The way she weaves deep themes into a love story makes this book feel like more than just a romance—it’s an experience.

This is the kind of book that lingers in your heart long after you turn the last page. It’s powerful, it’s passionate, and it’s an absolute must-read.

Classic Kennedy Ryan: Older, complex main characters, with gorgeous, emotional writing. Hendrix has a full, ambitious life and unabashedly has no plans for a partner or kids or any of that. Hot millionaire Maverick can't get enough of her -- what starts out as attraction and a bond over living through loved ones with Alzheimers quickly becomes much more.

Loved this and love Kennedy Ryan!!! After the first two books in the series, I was SO excited to get to Hendrix's story and I loved her and Mav so much. I loved the quiet and consistent way Mav loved her and how she grew in realizing what she truly wanted. (Also Skipper and Bolt had me dying) I, as always, thought Kennedy Ryan wrote with such care and sensitivity about very real and timely societal issues and how these women's friendships play such an important role in their lives and journeys.

While I enjoyed all three books in this series, this one was by far my favorite. Too often the world of romance hyper focuses on the typical love story of boy meets girl, they fall in love, and then comes marriage and babies.

THIS book centers a woman who CHOOSES to live a life where she is the main character who aspires to accomplish each goal that she envisions for herself. She’s the rich auntie who gives her nieces and nephews with lots of love and is fulfilled by that while maintaining her independence. Hendrix actively de-centers men in her everyday life while prioritizing her career and walking the talk when it comes down to being a champion for women. She’s a true girl’s girl always looking to support and lift up women striving to create their own small businesses.

The sexual tension and heart connection that she has with Maverick challenged her on so many levels but she remained true to herself while still making room for romance in her life. I love how intentional Maverick was about building a relationship with her.

As someone who also chooses to live a childfree life, Hendrix’s story resonates with me deeply. Thank you Kennedy, for giving us a FMC who’s about her business, stands firm on her boundaries, and is still loved and respected for her personal values. I already know this will be a novel I revisit often.
