{Review} Not Another Rock Star (Hot Under Her Collar #3) by Amber Belldene (@AmberBelldene)

Suzannah DeWitt knows how to run a church: as long as she never lets her people see her sweat, she’ll lead them to do miraculous things. But when rock star Rush Perez shows up straight from rehab to play her church’s organ, she finds herself sweating with him quite a lot and feeling like a fool for it. She dated a rock star once, and she swore never to do so again.

Rush hates church, but since he’s in hiding from the paparazzi and his own band in San Francisco, he may as well help out the hot lady-priest. He’s fighting a secret battle with a disease that threatens to take away everything that matters, and an affair with Suzannah is the perfect way to forget his problems. She makes him optimistic about his chances of winning—almost.

Rush’s feelings for Suzannah develop into the epic emotions he usually only sings about. He wants something real, but first he has to stop hiding and let her into his heart. Once he does, will she trust hers to another rock star after all?

​Suzannah DeWitt is a bit uptight.  She’s trying so hard to be the best priest she can be to all of the members of St. Bartholomew’s. She may only be twenty-eight, but she’s out to prove that she’s more than meets the eye. 
 
When St. Bart’s beloved organist is unexpectedly injured, the person that steps into help is none other than bad-boy rock star – Rush Perez.
 
Rush is well known in the church and is rumored to be in town for yet another visit to rehab. He’s as beautiful as he is infuriating and he’s a distraction that Suze can hardly afford.   

“So what’s he like?” Lily took a sip of wine, her cheeks slightly flushed. “He can’t possibly be as good looking in person as he is in his videos.”

Suze tapped her fingernails on her wine glass. “He is absolutely just as hot, which is completely infuriating because he’s also a pompous ass.”

“I hate it when they know they’re hot.” Alma slumped into her chair, pouting.
​
 Suze ought to clarify he was mostly pompous about music, not about being sex incarnate. Then again, why bother?

​Rush Perez is hiding out in San Francisco.  His band – Stentorian Hush – is taking a much-needed break so that their front man can seek treatment.  But it’s not exactly for the reason that they think.
 
Rush has been secretly fighting a disease that could steal his hearing and his music. He’s undergoing an experimental treatment that could possibly be his saving grace.  But he never counted on the beautiful priest who stole his heart and made him want something for more than just one night.

“Tie me to the bed,” he said.

“What?” Her brow furrowed, then smoothed. She tilted her head. “Really?”

 “Lash my wrists to the bed posts and…” He shrugged. No way to say this part delicately. “Sit on my face.”

A belly laugh burst from her.  
“Why?”  

“I think you need to be in charge of this show, boss lady.”

“I’m not your boss.”  

“You are for the next how ever many minutes, or hours, it takes for you to come.” He flung himself on the bed and raised his arms, crossed at the wrists.
​
“Use me.”

​Amber Belldene has the most unique way of weaving all things divine into her seriously scorching romances and Not Another Rock Star is yet another great example of that undeniable talent!
 
She made me feel everything from hopeful to melancholy and then left me believing in the healing power of love.
 
It’s everything that I have come to expect when reading Amber’s books – it’s sweet and spicy with just the right amount of soul…
