Sasha Soskoff is a veterinarian and he doesn't make a big
deal out of knowing shapeshifters, his ex-Army tiger
buddies. He lives in a friendly neighbourhood where the
staff of the BDSM club on the corner are invited to the
street barbecue. But just occasionally there is trouble,
and a young man comes into his office thinking that he's
being followed. Who - or what - by is another matter.
TIGER, TIGER is the only possibility that fits when some
Spanish-speaking jaguar shifters bring in a body that has
been mauled by something with massive paws. Some local
homeless men have gone missing, and no other were-tigers
are known to Sasha and his friends. Someone killing people
could bring down wrath on all the shifters, so they'd
better find him. The jaguar clans distrust the tigers and
Sasha tries to convince them to co-operate. He gets
distracted by experimenting with his complex ménage
relationship, then suddenly the rogue tiger attacks and
there's no time to react.
This adult paranormal story combines a few different
themes - gay ménage, bondage, and shapeshifting suspense.
The Siberian tigers are really well characterised and it's
easy to see how a luckless victim would be overpowered.
This is the second in the Chicagoland Shifters series
and
there is also a werefox and Russian bears for us to meet.
Sasha's a vegetarian who is given grilled Portobello
mushrooms with mole sauce at a barbecue party when the
jaguars are hosting. He has empathy with the shifters who
value his skills when they get wounded. However there is a
lot of violence in this story and a lot of dominant
behaviour around Sasha, so I can't help feeling that he
doesn't get the best end of the bargain. TIGER, TIGER
follows the first instalment, Burning Bright, by A
Catherine Noon and Rachel Wilder.
When you grab a tiger by the tail, sometimes he bites back.
Chicagoland Shifters, Book 2
Veterinary trauma surgeon and animal empath Sasha Soskoff
has found everything he ever wanted with his new partners
Neal, Steve and Carlos. Life feels as safe and secure as it
can be among a group of ex-Marine tiger shifters. Until a
homeless man is found, gruesomely mauled and murdered, near
Neal’s BDSM club.
When it’s determined a rogue tiger did the deed, the
jaguars’ accusing eyes turn toward Sasha’s lovers. The
precarious balance of peace tips dangerously toward war.
Neal knows damned well none of his tigers committed the
crime. Someone must be in Chicago without his knowledge or
permission, and they’d better find him fast before
uncertainty and conflict rip the tight-knit band apart from
the inside.
As Sasha struggles to heal the stress fractures forming
among his tiger family, he begins to wonder if his dreams of
a home, and love, were too good to be true. And it’s
precisely that moment the killer strikes at the heart of the
tiger clan—Sasha himself.
Warning: This continuing story contains more hot man-on-man
and men-on-more-men ménage action than you can shake a cat
at.
