Loving in the Present — Kia Zi Shiru

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cute romance, this is rough, real and dark. Black Sheep Trilogy deals with topics of depression, abuse and trust. If you want a sweet romance I suggest you look elsewhere


Vic has taken a turn for the worse and is back in the psychiatric hospital. Jack gets kicked out of his house when his parents find out that he is gay. The reason Adam is not getting better is revealed. And that is just the beginning.

Everybody is lost and trying to not let life spiral out of control. Jack moves in with Vic's family, making it his temporary home until he can move in with his brother and sister. Vic's health doesn't improve until he hears about Adam, at which point he puts his mind to getting better. Adam on the other hand is fighting his own feelings about Vic's illness and questions their friendship.

When Vic and Jack visit Adam and Tom for Tom's birthday, it seems like a great way to let loose, but Vic is hiding more secrets than anyone knew and when they are exposed the situation explodes. Vic storms off in anger and seeks solace in dangerous places and, unknowingly, putting not just himself, but Jack, too, at risk.


**Black Sheep Trilogy is a Young Adult title that deals with heavy subjects but has little cursing and no sex.**.

Black Sheep: Loving in the Present is the second novella in the Black Sheep Trilogy. The third and last book of the trilogy, Black Sheep: Fighting for a Future, concludes Vic's struggle to find happiness.
