OUR REVIEW:
Listen, y'all. There's no way this review will be worthy of Can't Get Enough, The Skyland Series, or Kennedy Ryan because my talent isn't in wordsmithing, so excuse my clumsiness in trying.
First of all, let me just say that I know that this series had to end, that, unfortunately, it couldn't last forever, but mannnnnn I really could use a zillion more books in this series. These women are so powerful in their sisterhood, their vulnerability, their loyalty, and their persistence to being fully who they are and striving to become who they want to be. They're so well built, from the mind of their creator, that they seem fully formed and so real to me that I wish that I could turn a corner and find them, know them, and one day be lucky enough to call them friends. We should all be so lucky to have friends like the three women featured in this series.
In Can't Get Enough, we finally get into the story of Hendrix-the fiercest of fierce. We get to know her and understand her, to see behind the curtain, to see that getting to know her means that she's who we've always known her to be, and then some. She's funny and observant and passionate. She's loving and giving and always out for what's best for those around her. She's good at taking care of everyone and self-aware enough to know when she needs to take care of herself. She's not afraid to ask for what she needs and wants and isn't afraid to walk away from things that won't serve her, her family, her friends, or her clients. I love at how deeply she loves and how she isn't afraid to be loved--when she admits that she wants Mav and allows him in to her world, she doesn't continually put up roadblocks--when she's in, she's in.
As with all Kennedy Ryan novels, the characters in Can't Get Enough face some realistic and terrible challenges that show that we still have such a long way to go in the world. These are handled carefully and thoughtfully, as usual, giving us opportunities to consider how to pick up the mantle of these fights and support the needs of our neighbors and friends.
This series has been such an absolute joy. I love the found family, sisterhood-ness of it all. I also love that the men who are lucky enough to be with these women are evolved versions of the species-replete with thoughtfulness, strength, vulnerability, and love. I love that all three of these women were well into their adulthood and were confronting adult problems, with messy options, and not always easy conclusions. I loved that secondary plot points featured such a wide range of issues to consider and think about. I loved it all. And while I'm so very sad to see this series end, I know that as long as Kennedy Ryan is writing, she'll continue to deliver engrossing, entertaining, enlightening, and fun reads that will capture our hearts and minds. Can't wait to see what she releases next.

SYNOPSIS:
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. She hasn't met the man who can keep up with her anyway. 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 and appreciated, 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?
