i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Nick and Annie. Nick is the last of his friends to be a bachelor and he knows he is going to find his woman soon. When Nick sees Annie catering a party for his friends, he knows she is the one, he just has to find a way to learn her name and talk to her. Annie owns her own bakery and is making it a success, but she wishes she had someone to share she life with. When Nick comes into the room and introduces himself, he offers to help her and he asks her to go dancing with him. Annie is surprised he asked her out, but she agrees. Annie went to school with Nick's younger sister, but she had never met Nick. Nick and Annie have a great night and Nick wants more, but he also knows he has to give Annie time to accept they are meant to be together. I enjoyed this steamy read. I love how sure Nick was Annie was meant to be his. I think they were great together. This was a great short read.

First things first; I love the cover of this book. I think it’s my favourite cover of this series. I love the colours!
Sweet for him is book four in the ‘’brawn n beauty’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Annie is a successful businesswoman. She loves her career as a baker.
The chemistry between Annie and Nick is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
I love how hard Nick fell for Annie. I loved his determination in making her his woman.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

The fourth and final book of the Brawn and Beauty series, Sweet for Him is a quick read with all the feels. Nick is the last bachelor of the four buddies who opened a gym together after leaving the military. He is big and hunky. When he sees Annie, the curvaceous baker, he knows immediately that she is the one for him. She is equally attracted to him, so when he invites her out to go dancing, he agrees. This was a well written book with realistic, relatable characters and story line. I have read each of these books and would highly recommend the whole series. Ms. Rikkenhott was a new, to me, author and I am now a big fan. Looking forward to more.

Cupcakes and dancing, is what Nicholas finds in the kitchen when he goes in search of his future wife. Annie who owns a bakery, is in the kitchen icing up cupcakes and swaying to the music that cannot be heard. Well there’s definitely a rhythm until she turns around he notices the AirPods in her ears. He makes his declaration of what he wants from her. Annie has no problem tell him what she wants in return. Their life together takes a wicked turn and will either make them or break them. Sometimes you always say “ I love you” and the words never come out but it showing all the time. Maybe that’s the problem with these two. Short. No cliffhanger. Lots-of icing.

Nick is part owner of Brawn ‘N’ Beauty they are having a party for one of the couples and one of Nick’s army buddies but Nick tries to sneak back into the kitchen to see Annie the chef who he knows is his future but he doesn’t even know her yet but Nick knows what he wants and what he wants is Annie. Annie can’t believe her luck she is going on a date with the most luscious Nick he’s taking her dancing, Annie is a curvy pastry chef who likes to sample her own treats she can’t believe that sexy Nick wants to take her out on a date. Fantastic story I loved it and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

Spoilers are included.

I thought this was a sweet, romantic book with very nice steamy bits. I have enjoyed every book in this series that I’ve read (I think I missed the first one. I’ll have to look after this.). Annie was so sweet, and I loved her determination with her bakery. Nick was such a great guy, and they were just so well suited. I do think there should be a warning for Annie’s miscarriage. While I was not effected by reading it, I have never felt that pain, and I can not say that some of my friends who have would like it being sprung on them if they read it at all.

I have loved every book in the Brawn 'n' Beauty Series by Soph Rikkenhott and Sweet for Him is no exception. Nick is a part owner in the Brawn N Beauty Gym with his military buddies and the last single man standing. Nick is happy that his friends have found their loves but now it's his time. Seeing Annie setting up her sweets in the kitchen, he knows he has finally found her. Annie is happy with her life owning her own bakery, Annie's Temptations but she is surprised a guy as sexy as Nick would be interested in someone like her. But luckily for Annie, Nick can be very persuasive! Very well written!

A sweet entertaining read. Nick knows when he finds the woman for him he will stop at nothing to have her. Annie wants to be on her own, or so she thinks. That changes when she meets Nick. Their attraction is there but will they follow through. The story was enjoyable the characters are likeable. A great read.

Annie is a curvy chef who is hired to cater the party at Brawn & Beauty gym. Nicholas is co-owner with his brother-in-law and best friends. All seem to be finding love and settling down except him. Until he lays eyes on Annie and decides to make her his. 

This book was okay. The story line okay but a little to basic.

Annie is good sister's friend since middle school, now she owns a bakery and he's drawn to get instantly. Nick is the co-owner of a gym with his two buddies. Annie and Nick meet at a engagement and birthday party. They hit it off immediately. Great HEA in the end.

Nick goes to his friends party and sees the woman he wants to make his. Annie is catering the party. She owns and runs her own bakery and is best friends with Nick's sister, Casey. Nick makes into the kitchen and sees her dancing and when she turns and is startled, he saves the tray she was holding. Thus starts there fast, sexy, hot and steamy romance. Love the epilogue!!

This was an extremely quick read but enjoyable. Nick knows when he finds the one, there will be no stopping him from claiming her, although Annie has her doubts. Its a steamy read with real live problems, but with love on their side, they make it through. Good read.

The author has given us characters we can care about. The story has instant attraction/love with Annie and Nick each being able to allow Fate to dictate their lives.

Nick knows the moment he sees Annie dancing to music she can only hear she's the woman for him. He just has to be patient and persistent in showing her he loves everything about her.

[Jill K. Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love that this final book had the couple deal with a little heavier material than the other books. It was handled well, and while I would have loved an epilogue with the whole gang, it was still a great ending to the series.
