Evan is getting ready to go to work. On the other hand, his live in boyfriend, along with his friend, have other plans for Evan. Still black-and-blue from the last beating, Evan refuses to accommodate them and is locked out of the apartment. Cold, wet and barefoot, Evan finds an alley behind The Body Shop nightclub to hide. When the back door opens, Evan is ready to run but soon discovers the man in the door is his long lost twin, whom he has not seen in ten years. No longer homeless, thanks to his brother, Evan quickly adjusts to working in the club’s office; he also secretly admires were tiger Varian, the new bouncer. Varian is drawn to the first sight of the shy Evan, and then falls hard for the man when Evan relates he enjoys the tiger and likes scratching him behind the ears. However, Evan soon realizes he has not been liberated from his ex-boyfriend when, at a chance meeting, he demands Evan’s return.

Ride the Tiger: the Six of Swords is an amazing heartwarming romance. Evan allowed himself to be abused, as well as manipulated, because of guilt and his fear of being homeless. His reunion with his twin brother, in addition to the love and acceptance of Varian, made a big difference in Evan’s life. Evan’s total acceptance of Varian’s tiger side brought forth his natural instincts to care for and protect his mate. Misa Izanaki has created a beautiful story of two men, each bringing something positive to form an exceptionally well-matched relationship. This is an exceedingly enjoyable story.
