4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth your time

Nicole Pyland again has written a novel bringing together two women you’ll like immediately amid a plot that keeps you engaged.

Pyland tempers her book similiar to the sweet romantic movie About Time rather than the frenetic Back to the Future.

Dr. Ryder Howell is Ivy League educated with double Master’s degrees and a Ph.D. She’s spent years meticulously researching time travel and building a time machine — to use partly to feed her fascination with history but primarily to rectify a painful event in her great-grandmother’s past.

When Carter King travels to a small town to develop a new location for her company, she meets Ryder and has reasons to consider they were meant to be together.

But first Carter must sort whether she’s truly ready to end her 10-year relationship, which includes six years of marriage, to Lana, whom she’s known since high school.

Future Wife is a look at relationships, respect, the dynamics between two people and how they can shift or solidify over time, the importance of family, and the difference between dreams and careers.

My recommendation: Read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderfully woven romance interwoven with more than a touch of time travel

Time travel and romance? I will admit that I was intrigued from the onset, the book quickly jumping to the front of my tbr queue. There is something to be said about the touch of sci-fi (or supernatural) to a romance, adding something extra to it, and this story more than delivered.

In fact, I absolutely loved the story. The time travel shenanigans are there from the onset, with Carter meeting the future Ryder who tells her that she is her future wife, and that she needs to talk to her current self. The complication, though, is that Carter is already married. And it doesn't end there. Time travel is a important part of the story, from Ryder's research into into, to certain events that take place in the story, and even some experiences/sensations that occur. It's woven well into the story, a natural fit for the tale, and one that is told so well.

The relationships between all of the characters is handled very well, especially Carter and her current wife Lana - what they're going through, and what happens from there, especially when Carter and Ryder immediately click. Yes, her marriage wasn't in the best of places, but perhaps there is more going on there than meets the eye. To some degree this feels a soul-mates story, and given the declaration at the beginning of the story, and other aspects during it, it really is a good fit for it. That doesn't lessen what they feel or go through, rather enhancing it.

And I'm just going to add that Carter and Ryder are absolutely adorable. Reading their story is absolutely wonderful and far too engrossing, definitely one that I didn't want to put down. That Future Wife is largely low angst is a definite plus as well.

This really is a great book, and one that I do highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars what I wouldn’t do…

What I wouldn’t do if I could turn back the hands of time. What I wouldn’t do for someone from the future would tell me they’re my future wife.

This was a very nice story. I enjoyed reading about the characters I found inside. Colby who is in this book surprised me. So, did Ashley. I’m glad they were there.

What happened between Lana and Carter could have gone many ways. I am glad about how it ended for the two of them.

I really liked Ryder. But she did bother me a few times in the book. I was getting worried that she was doing too much.

When I was younger I thought I could have a connection with some people whereas I was able to communicate telepathically. Sometimes I still believe it. That we just had to figure out how to turn it on.

Time travel is also one of those things. It’s why I liked this book and this story a great deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG this is great!

I can’t believe just how much I loved this book. I was so keyed up, I had a tough time putting it down. The characters were wonderfully developed and intense. The plot though sci fi, was strong. I am not into sci fi so it was a surprise that I enjoyed this book. The anxiety for these women felt real, the love grew fast and deep. I was impressed that Nicole felt comfortable enough in her characters to have the ex’s remain friends. That really brought the story full circle for me.
I do recommend this book with out hesitation. Buy it, support the author and tell your friends to do the same!

4.0 out of 5 stars Time Travel Is Unpredictable
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2023

What really did it for me in this novel was the romance in this book. It was sweet AND steamy. I liked both main characters immediately and wanted things to work out for them right away. The time travel aspect of the story added some conflict and drama and a bit of reflection on causality and personal responsibility without getting too heavy into the science of it all. The writing was accessible and easy to get lost in. I might pick this story up again in the future when I want something sweet, sexy and mildly thought provoking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2023

This book is interesting and different from Pylands' previous novels. The connection between the MCs was unique and felt. The MCs gave each other space to be who they truly were as people and loved each other in all forms. You are definitely taking the journey with these two people. The good and bad of their circumstances make it that much more interesting to read.

However, the book felt somewhat repetitive, not about time traveling events, but more like the conversations. The same or closely related topics were discussed over and over again. It's a good story, but not one of Pylands best works.

I do recommend this book. 4 out of 5 rating, though, due to the repetitive nature as described above and due to being a little bit of a lackluster. Pyland is in my top 5 favorite authors, so even if this book doesn't catch your fancy, there are others that will.

This book is out of the box concept.
As usual Nicole's work is quite good and is always good with character building of the different characters in the book. But the concept of time travel makes it a very very good read..

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Travel Love Story
Reviewed in Canada on February 12, 2023

A stand alone that I wish wasn't a stand alone as I would love to read more. I haven't really delved too much into the sci-fi genre before, but I've always loved Nicole Pyland's writing, so I was looking forward to reading this book. The mixture between the elements of sci-fi/time travel and the love story between Carter and Ryder was a great combination.

This was a book that drew me in from the very beginning and kept my interest the whole way through. The instant chemistry between Carter and Ryder and the journey taken to ensure the love they know is possible happens is one worth reading again and again .

Future Wife was such a sweet read. I'm a sucker for time travel, and sapphic romance, not to mention cool AF names for main characters! Ryder and Carter were amazing together, and the story definitely left me wanting to know more. I'll be reading more from this author in the future!
