Itáyu Lake
Itáyu Lake is a paranormal, alternative romance series with interconnecting stories. Each book can be read separately, but I do recommend you read them in order to follow the over all story line. Books are listed below in reading order.
A Dragon's Dream
Jason has been verbally abused by most of his family his entire life. Believing he’s unworthy and a disappointment to the people he loves he runs from the prophetic dreams that promise to lead him to his destined mate.
Michel is a dragon prince and can’t understand why his mate is hiding. Frustrated after years of searching, he’s grown tired. A chance meeting at Jason’s brother’s new diner allows them to meet and for fate to finally take its course.
Nothing is that simple though and Jason’s own fears and insecurities about mating start rising to the surface. Michel needs to find a way for Jason to see the worth he holds and accept who he is. These matters are complicated by his mate’s own family and the damage they’ve inflicted. Still, Michel refuses to give up and wants nothing more than to show Jason he’s loved and wanted.

A Cougar's Cry
Logan’s tired of being pushed away and refused by his mate. When Jared declares their pairing unnatural he finally decides enough is enough.
Jared’s family has drilled into him that only water dragons are to be trusted. He’s confused and scared when he learns his destined mate is a cougar, not a water dragon. So he acts rashly and forces him away, realizing too late that he’s made a mistake. As he watches his mate sit helplessly in a hospital bed, he swears to change.
To allow Logan to heal, and for them to come together as mates, Jared takes them to Itayu Lake. There he starts to question when he started to accept his Sire’s words, and the horrors of his own past come to light. Logan must try and forgive Jared for everything he’s done so he can help his mate come to terms with what has happened to him. Matters are further complicated when Jared’s mother arrives with the goal of taking all of her sons back with her.

This is a sweet and steamy book, as both Dragons go into heat when they meet. I really felt for Jason as it is hard to overcome your family's words, even when you know that they are not true. Michel was very patient with him, which was a delight to read. ~ 4 Stars

So in that sense, I was glad that, even though Jasmine got caught and dealt with in book three, the Hunters who have already made several appearances throughout the series are still very much present. In ‘The Hunter’s Wolf’ they move center stage, and with one of them turning out to be mated to the Itayu wolfshifter pack’s beta – the scene is set for a dramatic story. ~ 4 Stars
