In a cutthroat competition, loyalties will be tested and bridges will be burned.
All part for the course in the House of Deceit.
Newly single and recently unemployed Charlie Price wants nothing more than to ignore the crumbling pieces of her life. With dwindling savings and no luck in the job market, she’s on the verge of giving up. That is until a drunken night with her best friend leads to an accidental application to join the cast of the riveting reality show, House of Deceit — a show notorious for it’s fierce contestants and enticing cash prize.
Alec King, a disillusioned wrangler on the show, dreams of escaping his stagnant career and becoming a director. Choosing the season ten winner could be his ticket to success, and Charlie Price seems like the man to get him there. But there’s a major problem — Charlie’s application landed in the wrong pile, their plans could go up in smoke before filming even starts. Despite the mix-up, Charlie and Alec realize they are each other’s best chance to win the show, even if they can’t seem to stop clashing at every turn.
Yet when the cameras stop rolling, an undeniable romance catches them off guard, forcing them to navigate the treacherous waters of hidden desires. Their love story was never part of the script, but it just might be the best twist yet.
House of Deceit is the spicy first book in the Reality TV Series of romantic comedies. If you like witty banter, broody book boyfriends, and beating the odds, then you’ll adore N.E. Butcher’s delightful scandalous tale.

Title: I enjoyed this book so much!!
Review: Upon reading this, I looked at other peopleâs reviews and most of them were 4 stars. I think this deserves 5 cause I really liked the idea of our character being on a reality tv show(who doesnât like the guilty pleasures of produced tv?). Normally, I donât like the competition plot but for me, it seemed natural and fun. The spice was spicy I would say the second half of the book which honestly didnât bother me. The only thing that was a small bother was that the title is âforced proximityâ which I get but it makes it sound like Charlie hated Alec or vice versa. Honestly, Iâm glad it wasnât that way cause it just felt more genuine.I think honestly, I really enjoyed Parker and I hope he gets what he deserves in life cause I truly felt bad for him that he hasnât found his person yet and heâs so loyal to the people he cares about. I will definitely be reading the next book(which I found out itâs about Parker so yay).

Title: Can love survive the house of Deceit?
Review: I loved this book! Romance tends to be hit or miss for me, but the slow burn between Charlie and Alec was amazing! There was an amazing balance of romantic relationships, strong friendships, and a background plot.House of Deceit is not the spicest book I have ever read. There are a few spicy scenes towards the end of the book. However, they were well done and didn’t feel cringy like some other romance books. I am definitely looking forward to N. E. Butcher’s next book in the series!

Title: Loved this!!!
Review: I loved the book! It was funny and romantic, all in one. The author does a great job of letting you get to know the characters and building on their relationship instead of diving head first into it. I have already recommended this book to so many people and I canât wait to ready the next one in the series.

Title: finished in 24 hours
Review: I absolutely LOVED this book ! It was recommended to me by a friend who knows the author and I couldnât stop reading. I loved the storyline and how well written everything was. The author makes you fall in love with each character and youâll be invested until the very end. Not sure how I am going to wait for book 2 ! Itâs going to be tough

Title: ugh obsesed
Review: 4 1/2 stars for this one (sorry but I always round down, I know I’m THAT person)I really really enjoyed this!! It gives off Big Brother vibes and reminds me of some of my favorite reality tv shows (and books based on reality tv). I enjoyed Charlie’s relationships with other people in the house and loved getting to know a wide variety of characters- Keith (aka grandpa) is one of my favs. I got caught up in both the plot and the romance (it wasn’t just one or the other), and I felt the story flowed very naturally. This was incredibly well written. I will say that the ending wrapped up almost too perfectly if that’s even a thing? Like Charlie got everything she ever wanted and more. Not that I’m complaining because I love a happy ending but I personally felt like there was just a bit too much going on at the end. Overall, I would highly highly recommend this one! I really enjoyed it and also love supporting an indie author. Will be raving about this for the next 10000 million years.

She really came out of her shell and I loved the character development! Definitely can’t wait for Parker’s story!Read this book if you like:ð¤ Mistaken Identityð¤ Witty Banterð¤ Forced Proximityð¤ She’s a reality tv contestantð¤ Spicy rom com

Title:
Review: I was lucky to read an early copy of this and it was truly incredible. I love books with a competition plot and a contemporary romance with one checks all the boxes.Charlie and Alec had the forbidden, grumpy x sunshine relationship that I adore and Parker was the sweetest character. The side characters did an amazing job of supporting the story and the house was like a character itself.Fast paced, snappy writing, with deep relationships. Highly recommend!
