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 … 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.

If you have not started this series you need to go to the beginning. If you have you must finish it! Meli Raine knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat with thrills, passion, and danger. Dynamite ending!
Wow! What a crazy ride this series turned out to be. Man, there were so many twist and turns to this plot, like a crazy roller coaster ride. The final book in the trilogy of Jane and Silas wraps up nicely with a bow. With an ending setting up for the next trilogy containing Lily and Duff’s story. I can’t wait.
So as the books come to an end, many questions are getting answered. Who is Lindsay’s father? Is Monica involved? Where does Alice fall into all this? Is Silas a double agent? Some of the questions are answered and you go “hey they gave us a clue to that” or “wow did not see that coming”.
Meli Raine has really taken suspense romance to whole new level. This whole series was a well was steady paced plot throughout, with so many twists that it keeps you turning those pages like a mad person. Her characters are well-developed with strong personalities and complex nature. I guarantee you will fall in love with them and feel invested in their stories.
I highly recommend this high energy packed thriller. Your head will spin from all the twist and complex nature of the story. You will want to continue your journey with the characters even more when it is all said and done. So if you haven’t read any of Meli’s books then start it right. Here is the reading order:

Just wow!! What a crazy ride this has been. The twists and turns in this third installment will keep you on the edge of your seat. I could not put it down until it was finished. This book and series are a must read.
Man…. how many times can a person almost die in a trilogy? I seriously don’t understand how Jane was able to pull through all the many attempts on her life. This end to the trilogy is OTT but so entertaining. That ending has me ready to jump right into Lily’s trilogy
5 amazing stars !!!!
Wow what the hell did Meli Raine just do to me . I have literally been reading this serious for hours and now feel like I will have a book hangover for days! All I can say about how everything comes together is Holy Amazeballs wow! Every question I had while reading Harmless and Shameless are answered in this book . You learn all the secrets , all the truths and everything in between . I will say if you have an issue reading about blood and guts then this isn’t the book for you .
The way this series gripped me is unlike anything I have read in a long time . I had hooked Yeah from page one in book one till the very last page in book 3 . I’m telling you , you can not go wrong with this series . However be ready to read until you finish cause you will not want to stop until you know everything !
Wow. What an ending! This author sure can write suspense. Loved it. Highly recommend giving this author your attention, you won’t be disappointed.
Great series. Now on to the next series!
Love this series! This is Book 3 and I am sorry to see it end. So much intrigue peppered with a steamy romantic involvement. Hard to figure what’s happening u til the end. I must caution that it is very violent. Not for the squeamish. At times it is unbelievable but so well written.
The first book hooked me. Was happy with the ending. Original series.
3.5 Stars – A great read but a little drawn out
The conclusion to Jane’s story started where the previous book left off and I was on the edge of the seat clinging to hope and praying that everything would turn out okay. Now, I will not tell you how it developed but after that suspenseful ending of book #2 and the great start of this book, I felt a bit disappointed at how everything unfolded afterwards.
As far as I know, this was still supposed to be a romantic and suspenseful kind of story but although it was thrilling at some parts, it was rather lacking in the other compartment. If you’re looking for a romantic love story you’ll probably not be satisfied with this book or this series in general but you’ll absolutely get your fill of action. In my opinion, it just fell a bit flat here and could all have been done with two books.
Since I kind of guessed already who was behind all the stuff that happened to Jane – because come on, we got soooo many clues in the prior books and it was just really obvious – I felt the showdown somewhat lacking and the road to it unnecessary drawn out. I did like the reveals of more secrets and how complicated this net was spun but all in all it wasn’t as packing as I’d hoped it would be.
I liked Jane and Silas but this book was not my favorite of this series or this story of all the characters combined. What I am sure of though is that I CAN NOT WAIT for the next series!!! Oh my god! I can’t tell you anything about it but there’s a little peek at the end of this book and I am absolutely in!! Bring it on girl =)

The thrilling conclusion in the Shameless trilogy is here and is packed with all of the punches. Meli Raine uses A Shameless Little Bet to answer all of the burning questions that have eluded us so far. Who is behind all of the attacks on Jane’s life? Who is Lindsey’s biological father? Will Jane and Silas be able to work out their differences and be allowed to be happy together?
The group is so close to unmasking the villain that they’ve been chasing and as they dig deeper and deeper into the information, the more and more danger they embark on. Jane can’t seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel, losing the small bit of hope at a life of normalcy, but Silas keeps her grounded.
With chapters written in Silas’s perspective, we start to understand exactly how this whole process has started to take a toll on him. You finally understand the intricate workings of his mind and how his job has consumed him and thus made him better at the same time. The events of her life have left Jane broken and wanting to build up her walls, ready to block out everyone who she thinks she couldn’t trust. Silas has to regain her trust and slowly break down those walls that she’s been building up so high.
With the ground being pulled out from them, friends being picked off like flies, and rumors circulated faster than the news can keep up with them, Silas and Jane have to find a way to get back to each other. Because in this crazy world, the only people who can keep you safe and sane are the ones who can see you for the real you.
Holy Crap. Did this novel keep me on edge. With every chapter, I was almost afraid of which character Raine was going to target next. The plot was filled with shockings twist that I would never have predicted. It made the conclusion of a fast-paced trilogy to be that much more thrilling. Everything about this novel was thrilling, not just the action scenes, but the ones that are centered around the relationships that people are dealing with; Silas and Jane, Jane and Lindsey, Monica and everyone. There are so many dynamic aspects of this story that it keeps you drawn into the story.
This is the exciting conclusion to an emotionally jarring trilogy filled with danger, deception, betrayal, deep dark secrets and so much burning passion…..
We pick up where book 2 left us off (on that cliff) and so many things are changed in the course of this amazing romantic adventure including Silas and Jane yet they grow beautifully together… Loved every heart pounding, unexpected twist and turn in their journey, kept me on the edge of my seat all night long….
Wow, what an end to this portion of an ongoing and still unfolding drama. Of course the bad guy was obvious, the twists and turns are many and yet this story is not done. The finish to this chapter, leaves an open end to start the next series. Worth reading, has it all intrigue, mystery,drama, steam and romance. Well done.
Another crazy good suspenseful read! This series is just as mind blowing as the the last one! I absolutely love this series of books. These characters are amazing & the storyline is so intense & intriguing it’s really hard to put down.
4.5 stars for an amazing ending to this brilliant series by Meli Raine. A Shameless Little Bet brought even more revelations out of the woodwork and the culprits finally being discovered. This was one heck of a ride, but then so were the previous two books. Meli sure knows how to play out the suspense and tease the reader with tidbits of truths and of course a thrilling romance.
There’s way soo much happening in this story and I don’t want to reveal too much. I HATE spoilers, so suffice it to say, I LOVED this book. And so will you. Grab it today and find out how it all comes together in the end.
I don’t really have much more to say about this book that I haven’t already said in my reviews for the first two books. This was an amazing conclusion to a fantastic trilogy. The writing was phenomenal. It was fast-paced. The plot was intriguing and engaging. It was full of twists and turns that will make your head spin. Seriously, I am not sure how this author keeps everything straight in her head! I was happy to see Jane stop being everyone’s favorite punching bag, and get her vindication. Silas got his head out of his a$$ permanently. Drew was somewhat redeemed. That said, I am still not a huge fan of how this author choose to portray him in this trilogy. Last, it was all wrapped up in a satisfactory ending that sets up the next trilogy (?) featuring Lily. So yea, all three books in this one get a HUGE recommendation from yours truly!
This book was everything I’ve come to expect from this author. Janes story has always been a twisted, unpredictable, dangerous one but with this conclusion it’s all stepping up a gear. This picks up where the last book finished and I was on the edge of my seat with my heart in my throat as I started this. This series has kept me guessing from the very start and A Shameless Little Bet finally gave me all the answers to my many, many questions. The characters are all very complex, complicated people but the bond they share is unshakeable and I loved how they’re more like a family when it comes to keeping everyone safe and will go to the ends of the earth to protect them. The story had me hooked. I went around in circles trying to figure out who was the bad guys and what their plan was.
A great conclusion to a fantastic series.
In this final book of the Shameless trilogy, Jane and Silas’ story concludes and all questions are revealed at last. The twists and turns that this book takes you through are amazing—I found myself holding my breath at times! The relationship between Jane and Silas remains intense and complicated, but it still sizzles and it remains. Wow, just…wow! I voluntarily reviewed this Advance Reader Copy.
What a wild ride! This is the final book in the shameless trilogy and it is full of twists and turns and bumps that you didn’t see coming. Finally, all the questions are answered and even some we didn’t know we’d asked! It must be a scary place in Ms. Raine’s head to come up with this brilliant, convoluted tale.
Silas and Jane have a lot of issues to work out if they are ever going to be able to form a lasting relationship, but meanwhile Silas has to keep Jane alive long enough to work on those issues! These books need to be read in order and the Harmless trilogy (Lindsay and Drew) should be read even before this. There’s really not too much I can say that won’t give away the plot, but this is a must read!
