Publisher's Summary

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.

Good m/m paranormal romance

Jory Smith thought he was helping people but when the faith healer who took him in asks him to go to far he knows he has to run. He ends up baking in a small cafe. He likes his work and he's happy for the first time in a long time.
Mal Pelle is a hellhound bounty hunter charged with finding Jory and bringing him back to the faith healer who lost him. But when he finds the boy Mal realizes that there is more to Jory than meets the eye.

I really liked Jory and while Mal wasn't perfect I think that just added to his charm. I also loved Mal's companion Louise.

I was really impressed with the story. While it is true that Stray's is not overly simplistic with its backstory. I didn't have any trouble keeping up. I did feel that there were parts that could have been edited out or saved for future books in the series. (I hope there is a series). Some of the details of Mal's past, for example, could have been skipped without effecting the story itself. But like I said, I really didn't see an issue with it. In fact, I felt that A.J. Thomas did an excellent job with world creation.
