Can’t Get Enough Audiobook – Skyland, Book 3

I listened to Can’t Get Enough on a quiet evening after a long, chaotic week—curled up in my favorite corner armchair with the soft Portland rain tapping against the window. There’s something special about letting Kennedy Ryan’s storytelling wash over you when life feels overwhelming; she crafts romances that meet you right where your heart needs tending.

From the first minutes, Hendrix Barry felt so real I could almost see her—this powerhouse PR queen juggling career ambition and deep-rooted family responsibilities. As someone who has also tried (and sometimes failed) to be “the strong one” for everyone around me, I found myself aching for Hendrix: her vulnerability is both armor and invitation. Ryan writes grown women as they are—complicated, tired, hopeful—and never asks them to apologize for it. It’s empowering and deeply validating.

Enter Maverick Bell: smooth-voiced tech innovator with that rare blend of confidence and genuine care. The slow-burn tension between him and Hendrix was masterfully rendered—not just chemistry for chemistry’s sake, but a soulful push-pull of two fully realized adults navigating trust, boundaries, and longing. That moment when he chooses to make space for her ambition instead of eclipsing it? Swoon-worthy…and honestly aspirational.

The dual narration is pure alchemy here. Maverick’s chapters radiate warmth and velvet determination—I nearly blushed during some scenes!—while Hendrix’s perspective is layered with pain, hope, exhaustion, and hard-won self-respect. Their voices dance around each other in ways that amplify every stolen glance or softly-spoken confession until you’re breathless right along with them. Even minor characters pop off the audio track with memorable performances; you can tell this cast understood how much was at stake emotionally.

What I loved most? This isn’t a fairy tale romance—it’s Black excellence honored through love that refuses to shrink itself or play small for anyone else’s comfort. You’ll find scenes where raw conversations about caregiving, legacy, community pressure are woven seamlessly into moments of levity or erotic charge—a feat few writers can pull off this gracefully.

Were there moments I wished things would move faster? Maybe…but then again: isn’t love worth waiting (and wanting) for? If you like instant gratification above all else or want melodrama without nuance…this may not be your jam. But if mature relationships—steamy but complicated—and protagonists who refuse easy answers resonate with you? Prepare to press rewind more than once.

Kennedy Ryan proves yet again why she stands out in contemporary romance: Can’t Get Enough made me feel seen as an ambitious woman craving both intimacy and independence—a heroine who learns love doesn’t have to mean losing herself along the way.

In short: this audiobook had me alternately laughing through tears (that chapter eight gut punch!) and clutching my earbuds at 2AM because…one more chapter wouldn’t hurt, right?
