Can't Get Enough
Synopsis
Hendrix Barry has built a life most people would pin to a vision board. Her business sits in the upper reaches of the entertainment industry, her friends are loyal, and her family is close. She is always climbing, and she treats romance as a poor return on her time.
Right now her hardest task has nothing to do with work: she is caring for an aging parent. She has also never met a man who can keep pace with her, until she meets Maverick Bell at the hottest party of the summer.
Mav is a tech mogul with sharp tailoring and easy charm, and one look tells Hendrix she has met her match. He is also the one man she believes she cannot have, because letting him in would threaten the course she has set for herself.
Mav does not back off. He pursues her, spoils her and seems to understand her, and Hendrix has to decide whether she can accept something more than her plan allows.
Forbidden attraction drives this contemporary romance, which Kirkus Reviews and the Chicago Public Library both named among the year's best and which was an NAACP Image Award finalist. Emotion runs high, with humor and sensual heat alongside, and Hendrix must decide whether to take what Mav offers.
How it reads
Prose complexity 4/10
- O final de uma trilogia que deixa a gente com o coração quentinho. Nesse terceiro livro da série Skyland, a gente vai acompanhar de perto a Hendix, a única do grupo que nunca foi casada, e que não tem filhos, uma mulher extremamente independente, que não quer nada menos do que ela merece, ela cresceu vendo os Pais apaixonados até o fim, e ela não quer aceitar qualquer migalha de um homem. E por isso ela nunca teve nenhum relacionamento importante, mesmo já estando com 40 anos, e ela apesar de querer alguém do seu lado, não se importa tanto assim em estar sozinha. Mas tudo está prestes a mudar, depois que ela acompanha uma de suas cliente a uma festa, e lá ela vai conhecer Maverick Bell, um bilionário, que simplesmente não vai conseguir tirar os olhos dela. Mas uma conversa com a ex dele, pode mudar tudo o que ela sente, afinal ela não é uma mulher padrão, e segundo a ex, ela não é o tipo dele, Zere não podia estar mais enganada. Mav está tão na da Hendrix, que não vai medir esforços pra provar pra ela, e minha gente ele não mede esforços mesmo, e vai pouco a pouco derrubando o murro que a Hen construiu pra manter todos do lado de fora, onde é mais seguro e mais fácil de controlar. E enquanto ela precisa descobrir o que fazer com esse homem, ela vai lidar com a doença da mãe, Beth tem Alzheimer, e está progredindo rápido demais, e acompanhar não só a Hen mas a própria Beth percebendo que logo ela não vai mais estar ali, é doloroso demais, e não porque ela vai morrer, mas sim pq seu cérebro não está mais funcionando como deveria. Mais uma vez a autora traz uma história apaixonante, mas com um tema muito importante pra ser explorado, e com a leveza e dedicação que ele merece.
- 3.75/5 - Rounded Up The final book in the Skyland series and honestly a great end to this trio of friends. Can't Get Enough follows Hendrix, the rich auntie in the previous two books. She lives her life as her own boss, knowing what she wants and knowing she'll stop at nothing to get it. Until she meets Maverick Bell, a black billionaire and ex to her new show production partner. The attraction is not only instant, but the connection between them on a mental load level. Hendrix is caring for her mother with Alzheimers, while Maverick grew up watching his mother take care of his grandfather with the same ailment. On paper, Maverick and Hendrix are perfect for one another. They are both successful people who know what they want, they want to better the community, the love hard. It was refreshing to see Hendrix stand her ground about not wanting ANY help from Maverick - even if sometimes I wanted to shake her and tell her to let him in. Maverick does a great job respecting her boundaries (mostly, hehe) and but also wanting to foster her creative talent and business mindset. The conflict between these two, Maverick's Ex, plays a big part in how their relationship develops - and was a bit of a throne in my side. I almost wished there was a bit more of Soledad and Yas as well! Overall this was a great conclusion to the series. While it did not pull my heartstrings the same way the first two did - this was still just empowering. I loved the focus on female independence, sisterhood, and being a black person in business. Thank you so so much to Kennedy Ryan, Forever, and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
- <div>Maverick is an absolute SPECIMEN y'all🤤🤤🤤🤤<br>...this book offered so much more than just a top-tier hero. I’m blown away by how gracefully Kennedy Ryan tackled such difficult themes. Every character added to the splendor of the story, and the emotional depth—especially seeing Hen’s drive in her career—was incredibly inspiring. <br>I’m officially torn: I honestly can’t decide if this or Before I Let Go is my favorite in the Skyland series. I loved every second of it! 🙌🏽💞</div>
- All the stars. There are no words that can articulate how much I loved this book. I wanted to devour and savor it at the same time. I already know this is my favorite book of the year. Rereading it immediately with my love.
