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.

interesting premise and nice couple of twists but the whole thing was flat and unengaging

Harrison's narration is perfectly pleasant and keeps the story moving. He doesn't get mired in theatrics when moments of drama pop up, which is a gift I appreciate.
My main complaint is that the story leans heavily into misunderstanding to fuel the conflict. When handled well, I can work with it. I do not think it was handled very well in this book. When Jory finally snaps, which the reader can tell a mile away is going to happen, he is the kind happy to burn it all down rather than assess the situation. For me that was a really unfortunate choice as Mal, and the guardian demons are really well written and have a clear intent on being a help rather than hindrance.
I still recommend, although without as much enthusiasm as I could have, if Thomas hadn't grabbed the easiest trope to propel the story forward. The first half of the book, including the mid portion as the guys get to know each other is really solid. Sometimes we have to overlook the authors choices.
Generally enjoyable, nice starting twist!

Mr Harrison did an admirable job distinguishing the various voices, including the feminine ones. Though his intimate scenes were acceptable, I feel I’m spoiled by a few other narrators who really make me feel the burn! All in all though, I will be looking for other books narrated by Mr. Harrison.

Noel Harrison was an awesome narrator, who brought the characters to life. And yes I would definitely love to have more books in this world. Which makes me feel silly now since I did not check before reading/listening, to this. Oops. Oh, well I love this, definitely going into my favorites. But if I say anything more I will give things away. And this is a book that needs to be discovered and enjoyed.
I would love to have some more!!!

Almost perfect

IT. IS. AWESOME. What great fun! Nuanced and sexy characters. Seriousness and silliness, GREAT world building that can easily and HOPEFULLY lead to a series. Plus a surprise take on Hellhounds! The sexy-time is well earned, and pretty hot.
Only criticism is although the characters actually have quite a bit of depth, we don't learn about it til late in the story, and I feel our understanding of the characters' actions as well as some of the world building would have been better if it happened a little earlier. But oh well, it will make the "re-read" all the better;
The performance by Noel Harrison is good. Love that he does women without being weird. His narration is clear, His Mal is gruff and sexy, Jory is sweet and charming. He is not as nuanced as some of the writing, but overall does a great job.
If you're wondering if STRAYS is worth the credit, and thus a listen, it definitely is!!
yes, yes, all this, yes!!
