About this listen

Orphaned at a young age and raised in the foster system, Jory Smith has no idea he's half incubus. He only knows he has the power to heal people, making himself sick in the process. Exploited by a crooked faith healer who sells his abilities and his life to the highest bidder and then left for dead, Jory flees, falling into a job at a small-town cafe where he can put his lifelong obsession with baking to good use. But the minister who exploited him wants him back.

Exiled hellhound turned bounty hunter Malpheus Pelle has no idea why his human client wants him to track down an incubus. Jory is traumatized and afraid to touch anyone, an emotional handicap that could prove fatal for a demon who requires physical contact. Needing answers, Mal concocts a disastrous plan: pretend to date Jory to uncover the truth. Unfortunately, his plan never included dealing with an ancient demon assassin, Jory's orgasmic pumpkin cookies, or losing his heart to the incubus he's supposed to be hunting....

Contains mature themes.

Fascinating supernatural romance!

Raised as an orphan and exploited by Adam, a fake faith healer, Jory Smith doesn’t understand much about his ability to heal people by absorbing their sickness into himself. When hellhound bounty hunter Malpheus (Mal) Pelle is hired to track down Jory who has barely escaped Adam with his life, he thinks Jory is just another self soul-sucking incubus. But as Mal gets to know Jory, he begins to appreciate Jory’s kind soul and his tasty baked goods! I REALLY liked this supernatural romance, especially the world building - there were lots of interesting ideas all packaged well. There were a lot of main and supporting characters but they were all clearly portrayed so I had no trouble keeping track of them. Adam and Jory were both decent guys, especially for demons, in fact it was refreshing to find that most of the demons were good people. Best of all, US voice actor Noel Harrison did a great job on the audiobook (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue)!

enthralling

Strays by a.j. Thomas. This was a great read. I loved how the author put smut in there but didn't go to full on it instead focusing on the story which was enthralling

A fun romance

This was quite wholesome with a decent plot. The world and characters are interesting but some of them could have been fleshed out a bit more.

The narrator had a good tone and pronunciation. However, not a lot of variation with different voices so sometimes I got confused on who was talking.

Overall I enjoyed this enough that I will definitely be checking out other books by this author!
