Can't Get Enough (Skyland)

By Kennedy Ryan

An unapologetically ambitious businesswoman finally finding a soft place to land with a soulmate who wants nothing more than to make all her dreams come true, from the New York Times bestselling author of Before I Let Go.

"Kennedy Ryan is my go-to for deep emotional, and sensual storytelling." ―Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Say You'll Remember Me

Hendrix Barry lives a fabulous life. She has phenomenal friends, a loving family, and a thriving business that places her in the entertainment industry's rarefied air. Your vision board? She's probably living it. She's a woman with goals, dreams, ambitions--always striving upward. And in the midst of everything, she's facing her toughest challenge yet: caring for an aging parent. Who has time for romance? From her experience, there's a low ROI on relationships. Anyway, she hasn't met the man who can keep up with her. Until ... him.

Tech mogul Maverick Bell is a dilemma wrapped in an exquisitely tailored suit and knee-melting charm. From their first charged glance at the summer's hottest party, Hendrix feels like she's met her match. Only he can't be. Mav may be the first to make her feel this seen and desired, but he's the last one she can have. Forbidden fruit is the juiciest, and this man is off limits if she plans to stay the course she's set for herself. But when Maverick gives chase--pursuing her, spoiling her, understanding her--is it time to let herself have something more?

"Kennedy Ryan pours her whole soul into everything she writes, and it makes for books that are heart-searing, sensual, and life affirming." ―Emily Henry, bestselling author of Beach Read

"One of the finest romance writers of our age." ―Entertainment Weekly

"Can't Get Enough balances brutal emotion, whip-smart humor, and delicious spice. Moving, romantic, and thrumming with life, this is Ryan's best work yet." ―Talia Hibbert, New York Times bestselling author of Get a Life, Chloe Brown

I loved Josiah and Yas, I can see myself in Soledad, and in this book Mav reminds me of my husband. Once again, Kennedy Ryan knows how to connect with her readers! I felt that the court case at the ending was a little rushed, but after reading Kennedy's note at the end of the book I understand why she left It the way she did. Thankful for an author that allows strong, Black, women characters to find love and have peace.

not gonna lie it hurts my heart a little to give a kennedy ryan book a 4 and not a 5 but this one didn’t do it for me as much as the other two in the series. I LOVE HENDRIX down because I see so much of myself in her but for whatever reason I found Mav giving me the ick at times and i want the best for my Henny. STILL SUCH A WELL WRITTEN AND BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY filled with drama as per usual and tears. there were tears. I will always recommend Kennedy Ryan to those looking for a good read

Great read & audiobook! The storyline didn’t feel rushed and I appreciated how the trio all ended up finding their “ever after”. Hendrix is still my fav and I was happy that she found someone to take care of her.

This is my first Kennedy Ryan read and I enjoy her skill as a writer. She has a distinct voice and I appreciate that her writing is descriptive without being overly decorated. I also really enjoyed the alternating first person POV (although I do wish we’d gotten a bit more of the MMC). It reminded me of Terry McMillan’s Disappearing Acts. I differ from some other reviewers in that I felt the alternating POV moved the story forward very well. I can’t think of a time where it was just a restatement of what we’d already read. And I felt that each chapter had a satisfying ending. Speaking of Maverick, I also wish we’d gotten more from the storyline with his daughter. For such a central figure in his life, she didn’t figure as prominently as I’d hoped. It would have rounded his character out more completely. The storyline with Hendrix’s mother was well done and thoughtfully considered. I have a relative living with Dementia and it’s so difficult for them and for everyone in that orbit. Ryan did a great job capturing the love and the struggle without it taking over the plot. This is also my first romance novel. If you’re a fan of the genre, there’s a lot to like. I was personally a bit put off by how often the FMC and her friends interjected spicy comments into otherwise typical conversations and banter. It seemed unrealistic to me. Are y’all really out here sharing details-details with your homegirls??? I expected the steamy scenes between the main couple and, though not my cup of tea to read, if Ryan had included only that, I would have rated it higher. Overall, a quick read. Loved the writing; loved the pacing. The short chapters kept me interested to know what would come next. Lastly, WHO is that on the cover? Because that’s not AT ALL what I imagine Hendrix to look like.

10+/10 ⭐️’s I finished this book so fast and re-read (re-listened to) it immediately afterwards taking my time thru it because this love story was just THAT good!! This was absolutely my fave in this whole series…she saved the BEST for last! I LOVED seeing this side of Hendrix because we got to experience the “real” Hen in this story. In the other books Hen was such a HUGE support to her friends Soledad and Yasmen so who would’ve thought that she was dealing with so much (both internally and family wise) on her own behind the scenes! Mav…what can I say besides I need a Mav in my life 😝 If you’re looking for a good read where the man seems to have fallen harder for the woman and a slow burn love then this is the book for you! If you want to get lost in a beautiful love story...this is the book for you! I’ve read this book a few times already and I must say I might have to read it again! SN: I absolutely LOVE the readers for this audiobook!! 👌🏾 Wesleigh Siobhan and Jakobi Diem top tier readers!! AND this is volleying for my fave Kennedy Ryan Book, it's between this and Reel. 😁
