Stay With My Heart, by Tashie Bhuiyan

Liana Sarkar's father is an A&R man for Ripple Records and a lot of his love for music has rubbed off on her.  She plans to study the music industry and follow in her father's footsteps.  But since her mother died, he doesn't seem to have any room in his life for her anymore.  That doesn't stop her from trying to win his love by proving that she can find and nurture new talent.  

When she discovers the band Third Eye, she knows that this is the group that will get her father's attention and admiration.  But a crucial error in judgment ends up putting Liana in an embarrassing position and hurts the band's prospects.  To save them and correct her mistake, she surreptitiously promotes them, trying to angle a way for the band to succeed.  Along the way, she comes to understand the limits and prospects of love.

A romance without much of an actual love story, The story is really about the bonds of friendship between the members of the band and what that working relationship teaches Liana.  It's not a terribly compelling story and most of the story feels formulaic (down to the playlists that fill the story).  Despite the multiethnic coloring of the cast, the characters are largely stereotypes.  Liana's relationship with her father never develops and her relationship with Sky, the band leader, never builds up any suspense, let alone any heat.  Entertaining, but not terribly exciting.
