Right Your Wrongs

A Second Chance Hockey Romance (Kings of the Ice)

By: Kandi Steiner

Narrated by: Savannah Thomas, Devon Braithwaite

What happens when the youngest, most successful coach in the NHL comes face-to-face with the woman he never got over — only to find out she's married to his new General Manager?

Everything I've spent my life building is suddenly at risk.

I loved Ariana Ridley long before the world knew my name. Before the NHL. Before the pressure of being one of the youngest coaches in the league. Before I learned how to survive by locking my heart down tight.

Leaving her was the hardest thing I've ever done — and the one choice I never made peace with.

Now she's back.

And she belongs to another man.

My new General Manager.

I tell myself I can handle it. Discipline is my job. Control is my strength. I know how to keep my distance — how to respect the lines that should never be crossed.

But every glance drags the past to the surface. Every quiet moment reminds me the love I buried never died.

I see the cracks she tries to hide, the fear she's learned to live with, and the way she still looks at me like I'm the one place she can breathe.

I want to protect her.

I want to fight for her.

And I want things I have no right to want.

Because if I cross that line, I don't just risk my career — I risk shattering the woman I never stopped loving.

Some choices haunt us forever.

Some loves never let go.

And trying to right my wrongs might just ruin us both.

HEA: Yes

Right Your Wrongs is an emotional, heavy-hitting hockey romance that leans into second chances, forbidden love, and the kind of connection that never truly fades. Kandi Steiner delivers a story that feels raw, layered, and deeply personal, balancing heartbreak with healing in a way that stays with you long after the final chapter.

This one stands out in the series for its tone. Where earlier books leaned more into steam and new romance, this story centers on soulmates who were torn apart and what happens when life throws them back together under impossible circumstances.

The Story

Before the NHL. Before the pressure. Before the walls went up.

There was Ariana.

The hero built his life on discipline and control, becoming one of the youngest and most successful coaches in the league. But none of that erased the one choice he never made peace with, walking away from the woman he loved.

Now she’s back. And she’s married. To his new General Manager.

What follows is a slow, emotionally charged unraveling told through a dual timeline, weaving past and present together. Flashbacks reveal the depth of their history, while the present forces them to navigate proximity, unresolved feelings, and a situation neither of them can escape.

Ariana’s story adds a powerful layer to the narrative. Her experience with domestic violence is portrayed with honesty and care, showing the complexity of her situation and how difficult it is to break free from manipulation and control. It is handled thoughtfully, without ever feeling exploitative.

Despite the heaviness, the story still makes space for warmth. Found family plays a strong role, offering moments of support, humor, and safety that balance the darker themes.

What I Loved

✔️ Emotional second-chance romance
✔️ Dual timeline that deepens the connection
✔️ Forbidden dynamic with real stakes
✔️ Thoughtful handling of domestic violence
✔️ Strong found family support system
✔️ Protective, deeply devoted MMC

The emotional connection between the characters is undeniable, especially through their shared history. You truly feel that they never stopped loving each other.

That said, the present-day relationship leans heavily on that past connection. I would have loved to see a bit more of their chemistry and bond actively rebuilt in the current timeline to fully match the intensity of their history.

🎧 Narration

Performed in duet by Savannah Thomas and Devon Braithwaite. Both narrators bring incredible emotional depth to the story.

Savannah Thomas captures Ariana’s vulnerability, strength, and internal struggle beautifully. You can feel every layer of her journey through her performance.

Devon Braithwaite delivers the hero’s restraint, longing, and protectiveness with a grounded intensity that fits the character perfectly.

Together, they make the emotional weight of the story hit even harder, pulling you fully into both the past and present timelines.

Final Thoughts

Right Your Wrongs is emotional, complex, and beautifully written. It explores love that never truly fades, even when life takes everything in a different direction.

While I would have liked a bit more present-day relationship development, the depth of emotion, strong character work, and thoughtful handling of heavier themes make this a standout read.

If you enjoy angsty second-chance romances with real stakes, layered characters, and a love story that refuses to let go, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

Gripping story, production issues

This story had me in such a Chokehold I was up until 3:00 in the morning and I finally had to stop it to go to sleep but I really didn't want to. this was exciting and heartbreaking and had an amazing ending but my goodness did it have some production issues.

First off, the male narrator was not great. it seems that in his normal voice, he has an Australian or British accent and in this book he is doing an American accent but in order to do that he sounds sort of robotic or almost like he's doing a Noir style narration. it's not so bad when he isn't the main narrator, like when it's in Ariana's point of view but when it's in Shane's point of view, it's very monotone and lacking very much emotion. also none of his characters have different voices and so at times it's really hard to tell who's talking.

Now for the production issues. obviously there are times when retakes have to happen and generally you can't tell but whenever the male narrator had to do retakes he obviously was either using a different microphone or was it a different Booth or something because he sounded like he was recording in a bathroom instead of in a booth. so not only do you have a monotone voice but then it sounds echoey and out of place. it just really takes you out of the story. if this story wasn't so good I probably would have dnf this book. however this book was amazing. I've heard it's more expensive to do a duet narration and so it's unfortunate they had these issues but if they would have had the budget to get say Jason Clarke ,he would have been perfect for this role. not only does he have great differentiation between male characters but he has such intense emotion in his voice acting that it would have been so much more incredible.

all of that being said this was still a good audiobook. I still recommend it. it had me at the edge of my seat, it had me rooting for them, and it had me so happy that they got their hea.

the timeline is interesting. they kept saying they were apart for 20 years but if the math is correct it was more like 18 years because I believe she was 19 when they met and 21 when they broke up and then 39 when they met again. he appears to be two or three years older than her but they don't specifically say how old he is. they just say like mid-40s but I'm assuming he's 42 or 43 when they meet again. now her husband they say is early fifties. they were together for I believe 13 years. Georgie was seven when Shane and Ariana broke up and 12 when she met her husband and 15 when they got married. I believe there was a 14-year age gap between Ariana and Georgie. if that is correct then he is roughly 25 when this story takes place and that makes sense for where he's at in medical school. with all of that being said the going back and forth in the timeline isn't my favorite option. i kind of wish they would have just done their relationship from 2006 to 2008 and then after that went to present day and then went from there but that's not what we got.

I think this is my first cheating Trope book and I didn't know how I would feel about that but it did make sense in this context. he was abusive and controlling and Shane was helping her get out of that situation and they were reuniting and they still loved each other. I do wish they would have waited until after he was found out but she obviously was checked out of their marriage I believe after he grabbed her wrist but honestly it does get a little bit blurry and so it's kind of like where is the lin. do you wait until after the divorce, do you wait until he's taken into custody like we're honestly is the line but I am glad they didn't just immediately go into making out as soon as they see each other.

now her still being mad at him. I do believe he was right in why he broke up with her. I understand she was hurt but I feel like it's really immature for her to not be understanding of his point of view. especially since he was protecting her and her still being mad at him for that. so my opinion is he was right she was wrong and she should not have been mad at him anymore for breaking up with her even though she did feel like she was left alone but he did try to find her after the trial with her stepdad. so he did attempt to get back with her after everything but she had changed her numbe. maybe she should have tried to keep in contact with him and then they wouldn't have lost 18 years. if she hadn't have been mad at him for what I feel was a Justified breakup or stepping back they could have rekindled their relationship when they met up in Boston 6 years later but no, she had to be stubborn and immature but that's just the way life goes sometimes.

all in all I highly recommend this book if you can get past the production issues and the male narrator being very monotone the story is very good and so it does make up for those issues. buckle up and enjoy.

Heartbreakingly Beautiful

4⭐️ 1🌶️ 4🎧

Kandi Steiner is the goddess of opening lines. “If a heart was tied to a person, mine was inextricably bound to her - and it stopped beating the day I left her behind.”
And that 👆right there folks, is the exact moment this book hooked me.

This book makes you truly feel! It is the kind of heartbreak that hollows you out. Two decades without your soulmate. All that time they missed out on, the memories they didn’t get to make, the children they’ll never have. It leaves an ache in your soul but it also gives you hope that the broken pieces could still grow into something new and you could still get your happily ever after.

It was a beautiful, satisfying story that brought heartfelt closure to all our favorite characters throughout this series. I’m really sad that it’s over but excited to see what adventure Kandi Steiner takes us on next.

This was my first time getting to hear Savannah Thomas narrate and she was absolutely fantastic!

Top Favorite of the series!

I have loved every single book in this series, but Kandi brought the angst she is known for in this story, and I LOVED every minute of it!

This audiobook pulled me in from the beginning and never let me go. My heart was in my throat for most of this book. K Steiner's writing was some of her best; the narrators made the story come alive; and the depth of these characters kept me captivated and addicted to the story.

I don't know if I've ever cheered as hard for a heroine as I did for Ariana. Second-chance romances are one of my favorites and Shane and Ariana fought against everything for theirs. The way in which Shane loved Ariana unconditionally, and the natural chemistry and connection between the two of them made them so easy to love. The surrounding support of the team and beloved characters we've met along the way was the cherry on top of this slow burn, suspenseful, emotional, and addictive story.

Hands down one of my TOP FAVORITES of 2026! I'm so sad this series is over but I can't wait for what's next to come from K Steiner! BRAVO!

Awesome Book - Horrible Narrator Editing

Love the Ospreys and so sad their story has ended. Super sad about the male narrators editing. It didn’t seem like it was a final production but rather an unedited preview. If I were Kandi, I would be pissed!
