4.75 ⭐️ Can’t Get Enough by Kennedy Ryan is Black romance excellence; it is rich, mature, and emotionally resonant. As always, Kennedy Ryan hits that perfect balance between electric chemistry and spice, slow-burn intimacy, and thoughtful social commentary. Hendrix is a woman who has a lot on her plate—from absolutely killing it in the entertainment industry, achieving her goals and dreams, and taking care of her mother post-Alzheimer's diagnosis, which means there's no absolutely no room for romance. Until Maverick walks in. He's a fine as hell man who's completely off-limits, but Mav has his eyes dead-set on Hendrix and he won't give up without a fight. What starts as a spark at a party quickly turns into something much deeper; still, Hendrix is reluctant to give in because of...complications. But Mav sees and understands Hendrix so clearly and in a way no one ever has. Hendrix and Maverick’s romance is emotionally intelligent, sexy, and so deeply safe. The way they see and nurture each other is powerful; it's what grown and intentional love looks like. There are many things for why Kennedy Ryan's writing stands out, but one of them is the intimacy during sex. These sex scenes aren’t just physical; they’re filled with depth and explore connection, trust, and emotional release. Every interaction between Hendrix and Mav truly felt like a soft landing, even when things got complicated. One of the most emotional aspects of this story is Hendrix’s journey caring for her mother, who’s living with Alzheimer’s. Those scenes are raw and beautifully written, and they perfectly capture the heartbreak and quiet strength that comes with caring for someone with this devastating disease. And can we talk about the friendship goals that are Hendrix, Soledad, and Yasmen? The trio’s bond is pure joy with ride-or-die loyalty, hilarious banter, and the kind of strong support that makes you want to be part of their group . If they were real, I’d be first in line to beg for a podcast. (If you love Love Island, they give PPG energy.) Last but definitely not least: the audiobook narration is phenomenal. The narrators bring Hendrix and Maverick to life with so much nuance and heat that it made me want to listen to everything they’ve ever voiced. The performances added another layer of richness to an already stunning story. If you’re craving a romance that’s heartfelt, grown, sexy, and soulful, then you need Can’t Get Enough in your life!
