Publisher Description
"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
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?

Named a Best Romance Book of the Year by Kirkus and the Chicago Public Library.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Real love has a way of busting through even the most meticulously laid plans in this heart-melting romance from Kennedy Ryan. Hendrix Barry has taken love completely off the table—and to her, the trade-off is worth it. She’s building wealth through a wildly successful business and she has a mother with Alzheimer’s to care for. There’s no room in this picture for a man, and Hendrix is fine with that…until she meets Mav. We could feel the magic of their instant connection down to our bones. And it’s not just about butterflies, it’s about how he actually gets her. Hendrix is understandably hesitant to sacrifice any of what she’s worked for, even if it’s for love. But meanwhile, Ryan brilliantly had us wondering…could Mav be so authentically supportive that Hendrix won’t have to sacrifice a thing? This is a true feel-good read about finding a partner who wants to see you shine.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Raw emotion and unfettered sensuality animate bestseller Ryan's intoxicating third Skyland romance (after This Could Be Us). Ambitious, fiercely independent businesswoman Hendrix Barry's star is on the rise: she has a successful career as a talent manager, she's passionate about her new venture capital firm that supports Black women–owned businesses, and she's about to embark on a new adventure as a television producer. In the midst of all this success, however, comes hardship when her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Caring for her leaves little time for romance. Besides, the only man Hendrix is interested in is Maverick Bell, a member of the "tiny exclusive club of Black billionaires"—and he's strictly off-limits. The pair feel a mutual spark from their very first meeting at a party, but Maverick is "practically engaged" to Hendrix's new producing partner, and she's not about to go after someone else's man. Maverick, however, lives for the thrill of the chase and has no such qualms about pursuing Hendrix. The pair bond as he helps her navigate her mother's care and supports her through a devastating threat to her venture capital firm. Ryan's ability to blend steamy forbidden romance, complicated family dynamics, strong female friendships, and frank explorations of misogynoir remains unparalleled. This is an author at the very top of her game.

Can’t Get Enough
Awesome modern love story that captures the essence of heartbreak,family, friendships, and learning how to accept being loved!
Great end to the series
I didn’t enjoy this *quite* as much as the previous books featuring Yasmen and Soledad, but I still tore through this in a few days. The complications of Hendrix and Mav’s story are really tough, and I appreciated that what brings them together is more of an emotional connection before a physical one. Once it becomes physical …. WHEW! It’s explosive. I did feel like there were some sub-storylines/twists that were introduced pretty late into the books that felt a little rushed and resolved too quickly. I’m not sure all those were needed. Just like the others, you’re rooting for these women and revel in them finding love with men who are *obsessed* with them exactly as they are. As in the world falls away completely and they only see their women. It’s sweet and affirming. Kennedy Ryan writes for Black women and she gives them the lives they dreamed of — because they and we deserve it all. BRB, gonna read everything Kennedy Ryan has ever written.
So amazing. I’m speechless.
I absolutely love all books in this Skyland Series. From the first to the last, Ms. Ryan has done her thing!!! It was amazing to get insight of Hendrix and her world — from choosing to be child free, pushing through challenges in her career, to her love for her mom, friends, and Maverick. An absolute joy in reading!
