Overall Content Rating: Parental Guidance PG
The story centers on a woman who is publicly abandoned by her fiancé in favor of her sister, then rebuilds her life with close friends, work stress in the wedding world, and new romantic attention. Emotional conflict drives much of the dialogue: jealousy, forgiveness, and dating after humiliation, without graphic content in the samples provided. For language, parents can expect occasional insults and one reader-noted strong swear at a peak of anger, plus light crude talk. Physical conflict appears mainly as boxing practice and figurative speech, not graphic injury. Relationship and romance themes are prominent; sampled passages do not show explicit sex, horror, or sustained violence.

About this book
A jilted bride. A man with a vow. And the story of heartache and love that brought them together. Maren is about to have it all: her dream wedding, her dream man, and her dream job. And then Kevin jilts her at the altar, elopes with another woman, and becomes her boss. Devastated by the twisted turn of events, Maren moves in with her best friend. The job promotion she once blissfully anticipated becomes a daily form of torture as she covers brides who get their happily-ever-afters. She needs a way out and fast. A human interest story would do the trick. And the guy who vowed to wait a year for his girlfriend on the corner where they met is her ticket. As her friendship with Zane grows into attraction, Maren must decide between advancing her career by sharing his story or telling him how she feels. And what will happen if Zane’s girlfriend shows up and he welcomes her back into his waiting arms? On the Corner of Heartache & Love is a clean and wholesome contemporary romance. If you like jilted brides, a hero with conviction, and characters who fall in love over time then you’ll love this book by award-winning author Lisa Swinton.
