DESCRIPTION:
“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, #1 New York Times bestselling author
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 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?
A deeply moving and personal novel about sacrifice, self-reliance, and finding true happiness from “one of the finest romance writers of our age.” –Entertainment Weekly

MY THOUGHTS:
One thing is for certain: a single glance between Hendrix Barry and Maverick Bell was enough to pull them together. Maverick had recently broken up with his girlfriend, who just so happens to be one of Hendrix’s new business associates, Zere. Hendrix has ride-or-die friends, and she saw potential in Zere and her ability to become a good friend. However, the fact that Maverick and Zere had only recently broken up could make things complicated.
While this story focuses on the passionate relationship that quickly develops between Hendrix and Maverick, it also delves into her emotional struggle as she watches her mother suffer from dementia. Hendrix lives away from her mother and would do anything for her, but her Aunt Geneva insists that she should be the one to care for her. While Hendrix accepts her aunt’s offer, her concern for her mother never wavers.
Can’t Get Enough concludes the captivating Skylands trilogy. In the first two books, we followed the emotionally charged stories of Yasmen and Soledad. Anyone who has read the first two books (highly recommended) would have eagerly anticipated this third installment. As these books are romances, readers know to expect happy endings, but the drama and intensity surrounding the three friends make for compelling reads.
At this point in composing my review, I feel a lump in my throat. I’m glad I didn’t get a chance to read this book upon its release, as it recently became available as an audiobook for review on Libro.fm. I had already listened to the first two books from Libby (with long hold times), and I had greatly anticipated the dual narration by Wesleigh Siobhan and Jacobi Diem. This format made the book even more enjoyable.
While I may not know many individuals with dementia in my life, I would certainly have a heart of stone if I didn’t feel an overwhelming connection to Hendrix and her relationship with her mother. I also appreciated how this connection further deepened her bond with Maverick, and it is these tender exchanges that infuse the story with profound emotional depth.
Many thanks to Forever and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
