Now Face to Face

Loved it!

Could not put it down! This series is great!

Keep reading

I have loved these books for at least 8 years. I re-read them over and over. I love the comfort of the Duchesses character! I have reaserched and read and have truley found these books to be fulfilling and true to historical references!

Pfffft!

After not being able to put down "Through a Glass Darkly" I was very excited to continue reading to this sequel. Such disappointment! I found that the storyline was a bit boorish at times and was a tad erratic in what it was trying to convey. The ending left a lot of questions and I felt that it was written too quickly...just to end the story. There was no teaser, nothing left to want you to read on...and the fact that there is not a third book to answer the questions that you may have, makes you reconsider should you read another one of Ms. Koen's books.

Pales in comparison to Through a Glass Darkly

Now Face to Face is the sequel to Through a Glass Darkly. After having read TAGD and falling in love with Barbara and her family I was eager to continue reading about her adventures, hoping she would find love and peace. I was bitterly disappointed. It was almost as if someone else had written Now Face to Face. The writing style was different and lacking in content as well as movement. I got bogged down in the mundane details of her time in Virginia and then the politics back in England. I researched the two books and found that Now Face to Face was written ten years after TAGD, which could explain the completely different feel of the two stories. I cannot say enough good about TAGD but Now Face to Face left me disappointed.

One of the Best

This series is one of the best I have ever read. A wonderful follow to Through a Glass Darkly, this novel is a gem. I now compare every book I read to these. I would LOVE a continuation to this story. The way Koen writes is very original and I love almost the sing-songly nature of it.

Well written but disappointing

The book was great with one very important problem. None of the storylines were finished. You have to wait for the next book to find out the ending of ALL of the main stories. This book can't stand alone. Unlike her previous books, which did have a finish, this one doesn't. This is more like the first half of a novel. It is a shame because she is a good writer. I doubt I will buy the next book because I feel like I was cheated on this one.

Warning

If you haven't finished Through a glass darkly, don't read the synopsis for this new book. I'm a good 200 pages away from finishing Through a glass and I happened to read part of this new books description and now I have ruined the ending :' I want to kick myself!! So don't be a silly wabbit like me and stay away from this website, till you finish the 1st. book!

AWESOME

I absolutely loved this book. I spent all this month reading what I could in what little spare time I had. It was soooo hard to put down! I would suggest this book to anyone I know, and I've already got my mom reading the series!

These Are The BEST One's She's EVER Written!!!

If You Like Historical Romance Set in Back in Olde Towne London, You Will LOVE THIS SET! 1)Dark Angels, 2) Through A Glass Darkly, 3) Now Face to Face. I Know Once You Start, You'll Not Be Able To Put Them Down...ENJOY:) All My Best ~ Just Julie

A Wonderful Read!

This book, and also her first novel, 'Through A Glass Darkly' are two of the best period novels I've ever read. I concur with other reviewers, PLEASE PLEASE Ms Koen take us back to the story in a new book! Hurry! We've been waiting 5 years!

Excellent sequelent - full of details

This book was a wonderful sequel to the first one: Through a Glass Darkly. It picks up right where the other story left off and tells the tale of Barbara Devane in Virginia and then later back in London. Rich in detail, sometimes so much so it was hard to follow, it depicts the feeling of the period well.

History, politics and romance all in one.

Now Face to Face is a brilliant follow up to Karleen Koen's first novel Through A Glass Darkly. I simply could not stop reading it. The book draws you into the life and times, trials and triumphs of the main character Barbara Devane. PLEASE PLEASE write another so we can see what happens next.
