Best-selling author Mia Sheridan releases her next novel, Heart of the Sun, on May 20. Set in the orange groves of California, childhood friends Emily Swanson, a rising pop sensation, and Tuck Mattice, who is fresh out of prison, are brought together once again when Emily hires Tuck as her bodyguard. The two, alongside Emily’s boyfriend, Charlie, are on a private jet set for New York City when a solar flare disrupts the electrical grid. When society is plunged into darkness, they begin to understand all they’ve lost, and Emily and Tuck find their way back to one another on a weekslong journey.
I received an advanced-reader copy of the novel, and I can attest to its interesting plotline that intertwines romance with a dystopian future. I found Heart of the Sun to be a fast-paced read that captured my attention, and fans of enemies to lovers, slow burn romance and dystopian fiction will enjoy this book.
