Seal the Deal (Kings of Heart Book 4)

**Arc Reader Review ** Will start this off by saying, I cannot recommend this series enough. I have loved the journey of getting to know the King brothers and their partners. Seal the Deal is book 4 out 4 in the Kings of Hart series. I have read the previous books and fell in love with this series in no time. This book focuses on the oldest brother, Andrew King as he enters a fake dating agreement with Nicholas Whitmore. Saying I was ready for Andrew's story would be a massive understatement (you can ask Lucky how many times I brought it up). I related so strongly to Andrew as some one who grew up undiagnosed and ended up self diagnosing as Autistic in my late 20's. While I loved Emmy and had some parts of him I could relate to, I really saw myself and struggles in Andrew. And it was also nice to show that even in a loving environment. there are still struggles of just existing as something considered different. "Not that Andrew wants to die, far from it, just sometimes being a person feels like too much work." was one of the most relatable quotes. Andrew King is a good man and it was so emotional to watch him as he found his home in Nicki. Nicki is an a******. Plain and simple, he does not try to be liked and honestly, I, like Andrew, can appreciate that. I love him as a character, especially for what he give Andrew, which is a safe space to just BE. Nicki sees Andrew for who he is, his "Princess" who carries too much for everyone else. The rage room scene felt so…

I relate to Andrew King. I, too, am an autistic eldest child who is Tired. Tired of? Everything, man, can life just stop lifing at top speed for a minute? Sometimes I wish I could go through life more like a Nicholas Whitmore, just giving zero cares and ready to burn every bridge at a moment’s notice because forgetyou, that’s why, lol. It was SO GREAT to see these two get together. Their early verbal sparring matches? Sublime. The man who can’t say no and yet never asks for help from anyone, and the man who can’t bring himself to care about anyone. Andrew has been struggling in silence because nobody seems to notice how much energy and raw effort he has to expend making it through the day (big mood). How perfect, then, that Nicholas would notice the countless ways Andrew shows up for everyone but himself. Nicholas is unrepentantly selfish, and Andrew is irritating to him at first; because what does this random guy off the street (or the Khaki Warehouse, in this case) think he knows about his life? Andrew is resigned to suffer through their fake dating arrangement; because what’s one more thing to suffer through in life? Through spending time together, they come to understand each other better almost in spite of themselves, and I loved it. It was such a wonderful, emotional ride!! I especially enjoyed Nicholas’ inner journey; from someone who sees caring about others as a weakness that will only hurt him in the long run, to a devoted partner who realizes just how special…
