Review: The Right Side of His Wrong by Nicole Bazley

October 4, 2026

Synopsis:

When loving the wrong man left you broken, the right man showed you how safe love can be.

He says he loves me, but then his touch turns to ice.
He says I’m perfect, only to shape me into something that fits his mould. His anger escalates to violence, and his manipulation mocks my kindness.

And still, I stay when I know I should leave.

That is until I start a new job with a boss who doesn’t see me as a broken girl. He sees the woman beneath the façade.

While Bodhi tries to control me, Cole shows me what it feels like to have choices. While Bodhi drags me under crashing waves, Cole stills the tides and simply holds my hand so I can float. When Bodhi left me broken, Cole re-built my confidence, giving me the strength to walk away.

Cole never tried to save me; he simply loved me patiently enough while I learnt to save myself.

Only Bodhi isn’t going to let me go so easily. And when a man who thrives on control starts to lose everything, how far will he go to get it back?

Review:

There are books that instantly feel like something different. Something that you will remember and that will leave a permanent mark. This is one of them. A story about abuse, physical violence, and trauma feels a little too real nowadays, and the way these topics were handled throughout the book was done very well.

Sierra is a smart woman. She did not turn into a victim overnight. It started with a comment here and there, incidents that, when viewed independently, did not raise concern. They might have raised an eyebrow, but they could easily be overlooked. As they became more frequent and she had to convince herself that she was the problem, not him, it became very obvious what was happening. Once things started to escalate, there was no going back.

Her journey back to her former self is not something that happens overnight and will take a long time. As an outsider, it is very easy to ask a victim why she did not just leave and why she allowed it to happen. The reality is that these are the very things that make it even harder for someone to leave.
Cole was there for her. He did not ask her these questions in the beginning. He may have asked himself those things, but he allowed her to come to her own conclusions. He allowed her to make mistakes along the way and always offered her a safe place.

While I appreciated their connection developing in a certain direction, I would have enjoyed seeing Sierra stand on her own feet for a little longer. That is just my personal opinion, though.
Overall, this was an intense story that covered topics that are not talked about enough, in my opinion, and I appreciated both the book and the author for it.
