DNF at 40% for reasons that are all spoilers. I'm so bummed because this was one of my most anticipated 2025 releases and I've loved every Kennedy Ryan book I've read (this was number 7).

I loved being back in the Skyland series. Ever since I finished the first two books in the series I was so ready for Hendrix’s story. I really enjoyed reading this. It’s a raw and emotional book by Kennedy Ryan.

Hendrix’s character is ambitious, independent, strong, and selfless. From the first book in the series she was someone I admired. I loved getting to know her character even more in “Can’t Get Enough”. Seeing how she navigated and helped her mom with her Alzheimer’s tugged at my heart strings. This topic was written with so much care.

Maverick was so down bad for Hendrix!! I loved to see it. He was caring, gentle, thoughtful, and attentive. Constantly showed Hendrix how much he cared about her. Their chemistry was undeniable. I do think they fell in love a bit fast but I still liked them together.

I loved seeing Yasmen and Soledad pop up in the book. Their friendship dynamic is everything. They are always there for one another. This is one of my favorite things about this series!!

Kennedy Ryan has a way of writing books that tug at your heartstrings and feel real. If you’re looking for a romance series that also has strong female friendships I highly recommend reading this.

Thank you Forever Pub and Netgalley for the arc

This series from Kennedy Ryan continues to blow me away. Can’t Get Enough is the final story in the series and it sees all three of the women at the center of the story secure in their happily ever afters, both romantically with partners and platonically with their friendship that sets the bar for female friendship. I loved how there are unresolved elements of Hendrix’s story because life isn’t always tidy and tied up, but the HEA looks like having someone by your side to walk through it all with, regardless of outcomes. Maverick Bell is so swoony, he almost makes me question my rock solid belief that billionaires shouldn’t exist (though I think he could still be just as swoony if he was paying more in taxes). The way he worships and centers Hendrix made me squeal with joy over and over again.

I voluntarily read a gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I certainly cannot get enough, will not ever get enough, of Kennedy’s writing. Another stunner by one of the most talented writers right now.

This whole series is such a stunning representation of strong, independent, beautiful women, their equally fierce friendship, and then deserving men who support them.

I already can’t wait for what Kennedy Ryan has next for us. Thank you so much for the ARC!

Kennedy Ryan, the writer that you are. The woman that you are. The inspiration that you give. If I could just touch the edge of your keyboard *praise dance*. But seriously, I loved Yasmen and Soledad’s story, but without a doubt Hendrix’s was my favorite. As a childless 26-year-old, I related to and understood her the most.

Hendrix stood for nothing and no one getting in the way of her dreams, but I loved how she reassessed the best way to make her dreams come true without sacrificing the parts of herself that needed to be nourished and fulfilled. Black women are worthy of having it all, and Hendrix’s journey really emphasized that.

What a man Maverick was. And when I say a man, I mean a man. His interactions with Hendrix had me blushing and wishing I had a Black rich man to sweep me off my feet. He was so much more than his money though, and I admired that the attention and care he gave to his business extended to every interaction he had with Hendrix.

What I always love about the books in this series is that beyond the romance, the characters are dealing with real-life stuff. And boy did I cry a few times with what life was throwing at Hendrix. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that showed the realities of caretaking and how far-reaching the effects of Alzheimer’s are, so I appreciated getting that perspective. The ripped from the headlines plotline was also a great opportunity to show more of the real-life battles Black people are facing. But all those hard moments made the characters getting their HEA that much more satisfying.

Overall, Can’t Get Enough was one of my favorite books of the year so far. I cannot wait to dive into Kennedy’s backlist because her writing always delivers when I need it. I would definitely recommend this book for people who love to read about the independent MC finally letting someone take care of them and for those who love seeing the variety of the Black experience.

Review posted to StoryGraph and Goodreads on 3/30/25. Review will be posted to Amazon on release date.

Kennedy Ryan the woman that you are!! Can’t Get Enough brings us Hendrix’s story. Finally!! All throughout the Skyland series I have been waiting to get to see our girl Hen find her love. Hendrix is ambitious, driven, bold, and the most loving human you could ever hope to encounter. I have always been drawn to Hendrix as a person who is also child free by choice. Hendrix is happy and fulfilled in her life and shows that mothering isn’t always done by biological mothers to their children. When we meet Hendrix in this book she’s got so much going on. She’s about to achieve her ultimate dream of breaking into producing television, her venture capital fund is about to start round two of funding, and her beloved mother is starting to experience more severe symptoms of Alzheimer’s. She’s being pulled in a million directions and really doesn’t need one more thing on her plate but enter Maverick Bell. Maverick is the ultimate Kennedy Ryan hero. He’s a hard worker, knows what he wants, and will move heaven and earth for the people he loves. I had so many moments during this book where I was just kicking my feet giddy for Hendrix. Maverick goes out of his way to show her in small and big ways that he loves her and wants to help her achieve her dreams. He doesn’t want her to give up her career and isn’t trying to help her buy her way to the top. He’s there to support her and clear things out of the way if he can. A true power couple. I loved watching them come together and grow. I also really loved getting to see Hendrix care for her mother. She doesn’t always get it right but she’ll do whatever she has to do to take care of her mom and her aunt. This was such a delightful read and I’m glad that all our girls in the Skyland series found their love with their partners and their sisterhood together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan

Genre: romance
Series: Skyland # 3
Spice Level: 4/5🌶, 3-4 explicit scenes
Setting: Atlanta, GA
POV: dual, 1st person, present tense
Tropes: billionaire, single dad

My Thoughts:
Hendrix has been a favorite character of mine throughout this series, so I was so excited for her story! This wasn’t exactly what I expected for her, though, and I feel like she lost a little bit of her sparkle.

We see Hendrix trying to balance work and caring for her sick mother when she meets a very intriguing man. Turns out, he is the ex of one of her business associates and she declares him off-limits.

While I loved how Hendrix and Maverick had experienced the same sort of loss, the story just felt a little slow to me. There were plenty of sweet and tender moments, though, with both of them making sacrifices for the relationship.

You definitely get the best parts of the billionaire trope, with Maverick being down bad and treating Hendrix like the queen she is! I did really enjoy the scenes we got with them together, but they spend a good portion of the book apart due to the nature of their business/lives.

As always with Kennedy, this was beautifully written! I just think my expectations were just a little too high and this wasn’t what I expected. I can still recommend the entire series, though!!

Memorable Quote: “I’m chasing my dreams.” “I’m chasing you.”

Thank you to the publisher for my advance copy!

Can’t Get Enough
Kennedy Ryan
Publishing Date: May 13, 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kennedy Ryan continues her reign as a queen of contemporary romance. The way she weaves together love, friendship, individual growth/struggles, and social issues is PERFECTION.

I absolutely love this series and this third installment might just take the cake as my favorite of the three. I absolutely adored every single page of this book.

Hendrix and Maverick are couple goals. The tension is palpable, the spice is 🔥, the banter is witty, but best of all is the way they support and love each other while not losing their individual identities. Rather than pushing each other to sacrifice to make it work, they work together to find a way to have it all.

Hendrix is an absolute powerhouse of a woman. She is strong, powerful, and successful but also has real struggles in life that she navigates in such a genuine way. As we watch her come to terms with the changes life brings in light of her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, we see a more vulnerable side of Hendrix.

The sense of friendship and community in this series are *chefs kiss* perfection. The way the community supports one another is so lovely. And if you have a friend group like these three women, you are indeed living a lucky, supported, well loved life. Women supporting women is the way it always should be.

But where Kennedy Ryan really shines is the way she doesn’t back down or shy away from addressing social issues head on. Whether it’s race, gender, sexuality, mental health, physical health… you name it and Kennedy Ryan will shine a light on it.

If Kennedy Ryan writes it, I will read it. I’ll be here hoping for a Skipper/Bolt installment to keep this series alive 😏

I simply can’t get enough of Can’t Get Enough! Kennedy Ryan delivers an emotionally rich, magnetic read that completely pulled me in. Maverick is the definition of irresistible. His “moneyshot” moment? Pure magic.

Beyond the romance, I loved the attention to detail in Hendrix’s relationship with her mother and the depth given to her storyline. Emotions ran high in this book, prepare to cry. Kennedy Ryan handles complex situations topics with sensitivity and care, making the story feel even more impactful. The inclusion of Soledad and Yasmeen was a great touch, though I wished Hendrix had more support—but I understand why it played out that way.

While I loved nearly everything, a couple of things didn’t fully click for me. The side romance felt a bit forced, jumping from dislike to intense chemistry too quickly, back to dislike. And Hendrix suddenly being plus-sized, when she wasn’t described that way in previous books, felt like an unexpected shift that didn’t quite fit, but I could be remembering her description wrong. Also, I wanted Maverick to chase just a bit more!

Still, none of that took away from how much I enjoyed this book. Kennedy Ryan delivers another beautifully written, deeply felt romance that lingers long after the final page. An easy 5-star read—I simply can’t get enough!

I’ve always loved Hendrix, and this book was no exception. I adored the bond and unwavering sisterhood among the girls, and I especially appreciated Hendrix’s vulnerability—particularly when it came to her mother. The insight into caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer’s was deeply moving. But I didn’t love this particular love story. I was excited to see our girl finally get her happy ending, but it fell flat for me. I missed the ‘falling in love’ journey—the emotional wreckage, the tension, the moments that truly define love. I just didn’t feel the connection between Maverick and Hendrix the way I had hoped. Still, I’m a KR babe through and through, and I’ll always be excited for the next one!

Let me start by saying I LOVE KENNEDY RYAN!!! Anything she writes is an automatic good read and this book isn’t any different. The final book in the Skyland series does not disappoint, and may be the best one yet! Hendrix Barry is a confident , successful talent manager who has lived her life on her terms. Childless by choice Hendrix enjoys playing rich auntie to her best friend’s Yasmen and Soledad’s children. Hendrix is good with being single, because in her mind the man who can handle everything she brings to the table doesn’t exist,… that is until she meets Maverick Bell. Maverick is like no other, he is rich, power, handsome, extremely confident, and determined to get Hendrix under any means. The circumstances they meet under aren't ideal, but no matter how hard she tries to fight it Hendrix feels a strong magnetic pull towards Maverick and knows she could lose everything if she doesn’t fight it. Thank you Forever publishing, NetGalley and Kennedy Ryan for this ARC!!

This book was really good but please know that her mom has Alzheimer's and parts are hard to read.

My mom had dementia towards the end and there were some parts that were triggering.

But that being said the book was really good. I loved being in Skyland again as I've loved the whole series. But I really loved Hendrix and how she is working to help build up others. And I also obviously related to the difficulty of a sick mother.

But truthfully Maverick stole the show. I realize he had more money than he knew what to do with but I loved how he pursued Hendrix in many different ways. I really love when the guy sets out to get the girl.

Overall really enjoyed how some tough topics were tackled in this book. I also appreciated the balance of tough with some really fun moments.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.

3.5- I am soooo sad to see this series go!!! Skyland forever.

I love Kennedy Ryan's writing. She handles such heavy topics with care. I think that writing a billionaire romance is a choice... i don't think that anyone should be a billionaire. Fictional or not. So that made it hard to care a lot about Maverick's "issues" in the story. Hendrix was my favorite character from the Skyland series and I think maybe my expectations were just too high. She is a little different from how we see her in the other books. I wish we had more insight into why Maverick and Hendrix were so drawn to each other. I kept getting told but not shown.

Zere is also one of my least favorite characters everrrrr lmao it isn't girl code you are FORTY grow up.

I still really enjoyed this story and would recommend.

MY ONE NOTE... I was born & raised in GA... I have never one time seen a Styrofoam plate at a waffle house...

Can’t Get Enough is the third book in the Skyland series, and I think it might just be my favorite. Kennedy Ryan absolutely nails it again with powerful representation, emotional depth, and a swoon-worthy romance that sets a new standard.

Hendrix is everything: a plus-size, childless-by-choice, career-driven badass. But what I love most is that she’s also soft. She’s compassionate, grounded, and deeply connected to her community. She’s multidimensional in the best way, and it’s so refreshing to see that kind of representation done right.

The friendship dynamics were another highlight. The scenes with Soledad and Yasmen were beautifully authentic, supportive, and just full of love. Their bond added so much richness to the story. The caregiver representation was also incredibly well done. It was real, needed, and heartfelt.

And then… there’s Maverick. Sigh. He’s the new gold standard for book boyfriends. Yes, he’s handsome and a literal billionaire, but what made him unforgettable was how deeply he saw Hendrix. He showed up for her, respected her boundaries, anticipated her needs, and made sure she always knew how wanted and cherished she was. That balance of strength and tenderness? Perfection.

Kennedy Ryan continues to prove she’s a master of emotional, character-driven romance. Her stories don’t just give you butterflies. They show you what love should really look like.

💜 Can’t Get Enough Review 💜

Highlights:
💜 Spicy romance
💜 Plus-size, independent FMC
💜 He falls first
💜 Childless by choice
💜 Caregiving + Alzheimer’s disease rep
💜 Black entrepreneurs + rich auntie vibes
💜 Forbidden romance + insta chemistry
💜 Sudden loss + grief

Thanks to @ReadForeverPub and @netgalley for the eARC. I squealed with delight when this book arrived in my account!

Can’t Get Enough is exactly why I keep coming back to Kennedy Ryan’s books — the emotional depth is unmatched. Hendrix is fierce, independent, and unapologetically herself, and watching her fall for a man who’s emotionally intelligent, attentive, and just as fierce was so satisfying. The caregiving subplot is handled with such care and dignity, capturing both the heartache and the love involved. This book made me laugh, cry, and feel seen.

There’s something so powerful about Hen’s confidence — she knows her worth and refuses to waste her time on men who aren’t worthy of her. The parent/child relationships were just *chef’s kiss*, and the connection between Mav and Hen from the very start? *Oof* — electric.

The way Ryan masterfully balances heavy topics—like battles over affirmative action and the challenges of caregiving—while simultaneously crafting full, inspiring love stories is truly incredible. I’m in awe of her and her writing. If you haven’t started the Skyland series yet, you’ll want to begin with Yas and Josiah, follow with Soledad and Judah, and finish with Hendrix and Mav.

CW: sudden loss, grief, Alzheimer’s, caregiving.

Stunningly beautifully finish to this series. I love everything about Hendrix. I knew I would from Before I let go. This was the perfect wrap up up the Skyland series. I cannot wait to see this played out on tv!!

Was this review helpful?

took me a whole month, but i finally finished.

giving this a solid 3 stars, it wasn’t bad at all. i have loved everything i’ve read by kennedy ryan but for some reason i just couldn’t with the story. i loved hendrix’s character and maverick’s character but i just felt so out of the story and plot.

the spice was done well! every interesting and sexy!

however, reading about hendrix taking care of her mother and navigating being a caretaker was very touching.

i won’t lie, i hated the skipper and bolt subplot. nothing further to say on that matter lol.

i also wish we saw more of Yasmin and Soledad. i love reading about the sisterhood and friendship!

Thank you to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for my ARC copy! This review contains my personal thoughts and opinions.

Can't Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan was everything I hoped for and more! Kennedy Ryan is a phenomenal writer who handles sensitive topics with such care, weaving emotion and vivid detail into every page. I could picture every scene so clearly as if I were right there with the characters.
The substory of Skipper and Bolt had me laughing out loud, and I absolutely loved seeing familiar faces from the Hoops series make an appearance. It was the perfect way to wrap up the Skyland series.

Two main takeaways stuck with me:
1. If he wants to, he will.
2. You should never think you can change someone or their desires.

This book was an emotional, beautifully written, and satisfying conclusion to the series. Kennedy Ryan never misses!

Rating: 4.5/5

This book is about Hendrix Barry, a strong independent woman who aspired to be a great business woman. Never did she expect to come across someone like billionaire tech mogul Maverick Bell. This love story was just so cute and the perfect end to the Skyland series with Yasmen and Soledad. This book is more than just a love story. This book is about sisterhood, woman-empowerment, and family.

First thing's first, I couldn't stop reading this book! It usually takes me a while to get through books but for some reason, I couldn't put this down. It was so easy to read and didn't have too much fluff in it like some books tend to.

Hendrix was my favorite character of the series just because I felt like I could relate to her the most. As someone who has always put her career first, it's refreshing to see someone so similar. It's reassuring to see someone who goes against the ideal dream of getting married and being a mother to be the main final goal in life. It's even crazier to see that just because Hendrix is such a caring and loving person, doesn't mean that she has to have children. She's able to care for her nieces and nephews, she's especially able to care for her mom.

Mav was also the sweetest man ever. I loved how he would drop everything to show up for Hendrix, no matter what the situation was. He was the perfect person for her. I do wish they talked more about him as a father to Tamia and delve into their relationship a bit but I understand that this book was more about Hendrix.

I loved the inclusion of Alzheimer's disease and the research that Kennedy Ryan put into this to be able to include such a heavy topic in the book. She really highlighted how it takes a village to care for someone with the disease, including caregiver support groups. It was so devastating to see how much this disease affected Hen's mom and how, in turn, Aunt Geneva and Hen were affected as well. It was inspiring to see that despite everything going on, Hendrix was able to keep her business going, especially with all the support that she had from Aunt Geneva, Mav, and her girls.

I'm so sad to see this series ending, if this is the end. But I also feel like it gave us closure, especially with Soledad's message at the end that brought everything together.

4 out of 5. This is the last book on the Skyland series and it was a worthy end. IF you want female empowerement romance, kick ass characters with a side of fabulous friendship this is the series for you. and in this culmination you still get the Strong Female Characters with well written romance and that is always the goal. Also a FMC who is a kiss ass career woman, is empowered about what she wants in life and is a caretaker, its a cool vibe! Also Hendric is a pretty sexy male lead, so there was def no complaining on my side.
