Kennedy Ryan’s Can’t Get Enough: A Bold, Beautiful End to the Skyland Series [Review]

Kennedy Ryan has done it again—delivering a finale that not only satisfies, but elevates the entire Skyland series. Can’t Get Enough, the third and final installment, is a rich, soulful, and emotionally resonant story that reminds us why Ryan is a powerhouse in contemporary romance.

At the center of it all is Hendrix Barry, a woman who practically is the dream—successful, stylish, powerful, and fiercely independent. She’s built a life many fantasize about: commanding boardrooms, managing an empire in the entertainment world, surrounded by loyal friends and a strong family foundation. But even women who seem to have it all carry burdens. In Hendrix’s case, it’s the quiet, emotional weight of caring for an aging parent while navigating the reality that sometimes love, especially romantic love, just doesn’t pay off.

Enter Maverick Bell, a swoony tech mogul who might just be the exception to her rule.

From their first electric encounter, Maverick isn’t just another love interest—he’s a force of nature. Kennedy Ryan writes him with the perfect balance of intensity and softness, ambition and vulnerability. Most importantly, he doesn’t ask Hendrix to shrink. Instead, he shows her that the right love expands your life rather than limiting it. He sees her, respects her boundaries, and still challenges her to open up. Their relationship is a dance—slow at times, fiery at others—but always rooted in mutual admiration.

One of the most moving parts of this story is its exploration of community and sisterhood. Hendrix learns that she doesn’t have to carry everything alone. There’s so much beauty in the way her support system—her friends and her mother’s community—rally around her. It’s a powerful reminder that strength also comes from knowing when to lean on others.

And as always, Kennedy Ryan doesn’t shy away from weaving in real-world themes. She skillfully incorporates commentary on systemic prejudice, including discriminatory business practices and policies that disproportionately affect Black entrepreneurs. These issues aren’t shoehorned in—they’re integral to the story and the characters’ journeys, grounding the romance in a relatable, contemporary reality.

Representation is another area where Ryan excels. Hendrix is a plus-size woman written with confidence, desirability, and agency. Her beauty is not qualified or downplayed—it’s celebrated. She’s sexy, stylish, and self-assured. And just as notably, she’s clear about not wanting children—a decision that’s often either villainized or “fixed” in mainstream romance. But here? It’s honored. Maverick respects her choice without trying to change her. That’s the kind of nuance and honesty romance needs more of.

If there’s one critique, it’s that I wanted more. More of Hendrix and Maverick after the obstacles, after the intensity—more quiet, everyday moments that showed the continued blossoming of their love. The drama was beautifully written, but the joy and ease they found in each other? I couldn’t get enough of that.

In all, Can’t Get Enough is a love story that’s as powerful as it is tender—filled with complex emotion, searing chemistry, and deeply felt truths. It’s about knowing your worth, finding your balance, and embracing love that doesn’t require sacrifice to thrive. As a conclusion to the Skyland Series, it’s utterly satisfying. As a standalone romance, it’s unforgettable.

Final Verdict: A heartfelt, sensual, and inspiring romance that leaves you swooning—and wishing for just one more chapter.
