“Can’t Get Enough balances brutal emotion, whip-smart humor, and delicious spice. Moving, romantic, and thrumming with life, this is Ryan’s best work yet.”Talia Hibbert

Kennedy Ryan has done it again. In her latest release, Can’t Get Enough, she delivers a story that’s equal parts heart-wrenching and heart-thumping—an emotionally rich, exquisitely crafted romance that reminds us what it means to love deeply, live fully, and choose joy even in the face of hardship.

Meet Hendrix Barry

She’s got it all. A glamorous life in the entertainment industry, a circle of powerhouse friends, a thriving business, and a vision-board-worthy lifestyle. Hendrix is a woman who knows what she wants—and how to get it. She’s goal-driven, fiercely loyal, and unapologetically ambitious. But beneath the glitz lies the real weight of responsibility, as she balances building an empire with caring for her aging parent. Romance? It’s not even on the to-do list.

Enter Maverick Bell

A tech mogul with undeniable charm, sharp wit, and serious heartthrob energy. From the moment their eyes meet at the summer’s hottest party, the chemistry between Hendrix and Maverick crackles. He sees her in a way no one else has. He gets her. Wants her. Chases her.

The only problem? He’s the one man she’s not supposed to have.

What follows is a gripping, passionate slow burn that explores desire, boundaries, and the power of choosing yourself—while also daring to choose love.

Why This Book Belongs in Your Hands

Can’t Get Enough is more than a love story—it’s a tribute to strong Black women navigating ambition, caretaking, and vulnerability. Ryan doesn’t just write romance; she writes life, with all its chaos, beauty, and contradictions. The banter is electric, the steam is dialed all the way up, and the emotional punches land where it hurts (and heals).

“One of the finest romance writers of our age.”Entertainment Weekly
“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
