How do I
prove a negative?
I need to
prove Jane is innocent, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Mirrors,
smoke, and lies can conjure a truth that isn't real. Money, bribes, and power
can twist reality. What we call proof is all an elaborate magic act.
So is love.
How do you
prove you're in love? How can you know with unrelenting certainty that the
person you can't live without really loves you?
It's all
about what you believe. Who you believe. And I believe Jane. I love her. But it
might be too late.
Or,
worse-it might all be an illusion. If proof is just a magician's sleight of
hand, then we're caught in a sick trick.
A deadly
one.
One that
doesn't end with applause.
But with a
bang.
Read the
stunning conclusion to the Shameless series as Jane and Silas fight against
forces that conspire to keep them apart -- maybe forever.

*~*~* 4 Stars *~*~*~*
A Shameless Little Bet is book three out of the Shameless
Series, and I highly recommend reading books one and two before diving into
this one. I have to say, I was very shocked throughout most of this book, and I
had no idea how many twists and turns would pop up. I honestly can say I
admired Jane and her strength. Most in her situation probably would’ve given
up, but she held strong and did the best she could.
A Shameless Little Bet is packed, and I mean packed to the
max, with suspense. It seemed with every turn of page, something was happening.
Don’t get me wrong, suspense like that definitely held my attention, but
towards the end, I started to realize what was going to happen. With Meli
Raine’s previous books in this series, I could never guess the outcome.
I do feel as if this book focused more on the suspense than
anything. While I was hooked, I wanted to see more of Jane and Silas. When I
finished the book, my first thought was, what about them? Maybe Meli Raine
wrote this one that way, because who knows? Jane and Silas might get a novella
or show up in the next one. Another reason I wasn’t completely satisfied with
it was because there are still so many unanswered questions. It felt a bit
rushed toward the end, and now I’m left with more questions than before I
started reading it.
Don’t get me wrong, this was a good read. I just wish some
more time was spent on answering these questions, and maybe added a bit more on
Silas and Jane.
Excerpt
SILAS
I won’t let
her go again.
My body has
to prove what words cannot.
Her hands
slide up under my suit jacket and pull my cotton shirt out of the waistband,
riding up under the conservative clothes with a hot passion that makes me need
her, naked and writhing under me, filling her. If she hesitated, I would stop
in a split second, but from the way her tongue moves in my mouth, lips eager
and telling me how much she’s missed me, I don’t sense one hint of question.
Only
answers.
Her hand
moves to my erection and rouses me to the point of pain, her fingers on my belt
buckle an act of mercy as she unleashes me, undresses me, our hands now as
frantic as our mouths. Power comes in many forms, and as we shed our clothes we
shed the conventions of society, standing naked before each other, Jane’s
beauty turning me breathless for one throbbing, long series of seconds.
Until I
pick her up in my arms and carry her to the bed.
Soft
breasts press against my chest as her arm wraps around my shoulders, her mouth
planting kisses along my collarbone. The gesture is maddening, her other hand
on my ass, squeezing until I almost drop her and take her on the floor,
plunging in with a ruthless impulse that would serve us both in seconds.
I barely
control myself. But I do.
Because
this is one homecoming that needs to have every layer of ceremony properly
addressed. You do not make frantic love after a schism like ours. You do not
fuck her against a wall or on the floor, pumping until a few strokes go by and
you’re left with an exploded heart and a tired engine. You do not turn a new
connection into a quickie.
That would
be a tragedy.
