Tuesday Reviews: Heart of the Sun by Mia Sheridan

When the world is plunged into darkness,

Who would you turn to?

Amid the sun-drenched orange groves of California, childhood friends Tuck Mattice and Emily Swanson shared a bond that seemed unbreakable—until life ripped them apart.

Thirteen years later, Emily is a rising pop sensation in need of security, and Tuck, a brooding ex-con, is in need of a fresh start. When fate brings them together once again, Emily hires him on as her new bodyguard. They butt heads and bicker, just like the old days—yet neither can deny the heat rekindling between them.

But when a cataclysmic solar flare disrupts the electrical grid, society is suddenly plunged into chaos and darkness. For Emily, the familiar comforts of fame and fortune crumble, but for Tuck, this stark new reality could be the chance he needs to finally prove himself. As they come to terms with all they've lost and the bitterness that's kept them apart, they must find their way back to one another and discover a new place, under the sun.

Heart of the Sun by Mia Sheridan is an emotional, slow-burn romance set against a backdrop of survival and second chances. With her signature heartfelt storytelling, Sheridan delivers a story that’s equal parts tender and intense, exploring the bond between two people brought back together in the most unexpected way.

The chemistry between the main characters simmers throughout, and the stakes—both emotional and external—keep you hooked. It's a story about love enduring through chaos, and what it means to find hope when the world feels like it's falling apart. Quietly powerful and deeply romantic, Heart of the Sun is one that lingers after the last page.
