As a fan of rockstar romances I'm drawn to this story, an angsty menage set in the world of music as fame and matters of the heart wage battle in the public eye. Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Save Me by Ami Ackerman, then start counting down the days until this first installment in the Boys In The Band series hits bookshelves on August 30th!
Kwan Park is one-of-seven in the world’s most successful boy band.Save Me has dominated the charts and Kwan thought he had it all – his band, the family they created, and the adoration of millions of fans.
But soon he realizes something is missing. Love.Enter bandmates, Benedict Ross and Bailey Montgomery, who might just hold the most precious thing in their hands – Kwan’s heart.
Benedict and Kwan have a tarnished history, but Bailey offers both of them something deep and meaningful that neither of them have ever imagined.
With all three hearts on the line, they must decide if they can handle the pressure...both from the label and those who wouldn’t understand.
On music’s most prestigious night, Bene and Bailey ask Kwan to do the unthinkable – to go public with their relationship.
Faced with betrayal and pain, Kwan, Bene and Bailey wonder if they’ll ever be anything but beautifully broken.

EXCERPT:
“You don’t get to say it was a mistake,” Bene told him. “You don’t get to tell me to listen. We...I...thought this was forever. We trusted you. The saddest part is, you couldn’t put your trust in me.”
“Bene, no,” Kwan choked out. “Bene, that’s not it at all.”
“No. You listen. You didn’t trust in us. In the three of us. And that’s what hurts the most.”
A painful sob erupted from Bene as he put his face in his hands, dropping Bailey’s hand. It was one of those sobs that built deep within his gut and only exploded at the worst of moments. It made him instantly exhausted. He needed hours – no, days – of sleep.
Max, in his quiet way, came up and put his hand on Bene’s shoulder for strength and Bene could feel that Max was quaking.
Bene reached up, grateful for the comradery and squeezed Max’s hand.
The group was quiet, unsure of what to say or how to react. Bene thought months had passed in those few seconds.
Kwan wiped at his nose with his hand and said, “Bene. I admit it, I’m scared. I’m scared of how I feel. I’m scared of how much I love you both. We...” Kwan sounded desperate, his eyes falling to the floor below his feet.
“We?” Bene cut in. “There’s no we anymore, Kwan. I don’t want your apology. I don’t want anything from you anymore. I thought we had the same dream, but it turns out you’ve been awake this entire time, too scared to fall asleep.”
“Bene, no,” Kwan choked out. “Bene, that’s not it at all.”
“No. You listen. You didn’t trust in us. In the three of us. And that’s what hurts the most.”
