Tickets include a copy of "Can't Get Enough" with a meet and greet and book signing after the event. Kennedy will be in conversation with Regina Black, author of " The Art of Scandal" Kennedy Ryan has written another fantastic protagonist with Hendrix Barry, a woman knocking everything out of the park, living a life of which most people can only dream. Hendrix doesn't have time for romance...until charismatic tech mogul Maverick Bell waltzes into her life. Will he be the one to be her match or is he forbidden fruit? Much like Abby Jimenez, Kennedy's contemporary romance draws readers in with not just sexy writing, but with realistic situations that readers can relate to and sympathize with. Hendrix is a woman in her 40s, childless by choice, who is grappling with her mother's decline from Alzheimer's. While Can't Get Enough is Book 3 in the Skyland series, readers don't need to have read the first two books. "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 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 yet: caring for an aging parent. Who has time for romance? From her experience, there's a low ROI on relationships. Anyway, she hasn't met the man who can keep up with her. 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, 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? “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 “One of the finest romance writers of our age.” – Entertainment Weekly Kennedy Ryan writes for women from all walks of life, empowering them and placing them firmly at the center of each story and in charge of their own destinies. An EBONY Power 100 Honoree, Kennedy and her writings have been featured in NPR, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Glamour, Cosmo, TIME, and many others. Kennedy is an executive producer for her Skyland series, which is currently in development for television at Peacock. The cofounder of LIFT 4 Autism, an annual charitable book auction, Kennedy has a passion for raising Autism awareness. Dubbed the Queen of Hugs by her readers, she is a wife to her “lifetime lover” and mother to an extraordinary son. Regina Black is a former litigator, current law school administrator, and lifelong romance reader who writes about art, identity, and love in the modern South. Her debut, The Art of Scandal, was named a best romance of 2023 by Publisher's Weekly, Amazon, Audible, and The Chicago Public Library. August Lane is her second novel. She lives in Little Rock, Arkansas, with her husband and daughter. Information Source: Baldwin & Co. | eventbrite
