Do you remember Shameless by Karen Robards?
If you don’t it might be because it was first called Reckless… or at least that is how I recall reading about it in the Romantic Times. This is the long awaited finish to the Banning Sisters Trilogy. And it is… drum roll… historical! not romantic suspense. And it was set for release in April of 2006.
Now it will be released 31 Jan 2008!!
Sad news about Robards book. I’ve been reading her historicals for ages and was looking forward to the latest.
I haven’t read any of Robards books, so can’t comment on that. I am saddened at the news of Dodd taken up paranormal. I haven’t read any of her historicals yet, but I’m fixing to start the Lost Heiress series.
This is directly from the Karen Robards site.
“When is Shameless coming out?
I’m fairly confident it will be fall, 2008. And it’s good – I hope you’ll think it’s worth the wait.”
Now I am all for writers taking their time to really write, however this book is pushing it. I wont read anything else by her unless Im confident I wont be missing part of the story. IE completed seires.
2008 is almost over, and “Shameless” still isn’t out yet. She hasn’t updated her site or given out any more information on it, either. It’s ridiculous, and something seems fishy.
I don’t know how reliable this is, because no one seems to know what’s going on and I’ve seen everything from a 2006 to a 2008 to a 2011 publication. However, the link below says December 2009, which seems like it could be a realistic date. Still farther away than I would like (SCANDALOUS is one of my all-time favorites!), but at least it’s this year – if this date can be trusted. I’m crossing my fingers!

Last I spoke with the author, wasn’t that long ago… but maybe it was… at this point I would say before nov at least….
it wasn’t complete and wasn’t turned in. And did not have a date. So Jan 2009 does sound like a good date for release but I wouldn’t count anything as done until it is turned in.
But I am happy to email her again and see if I hear anything back… never know…
i just love your books i was hoping you can write a series of whispers at midnight
Seems along time since irresistible came out and I can’t wait to read about the 3rd banning sister.hope there’s updates on the 2 eldest sisters
I can’t find Shameless anywhere is it still available and if so where?
