Publisher's summary

“He broke my heart...and I still haven’t gotten over it.”

The youngest in a large family, omega Andre, always thought he’d be settled down and having children by now. It was going to be perfect - him and Jude, and their brood, their own happy ever after. But Jude left...and Andre has never quite been able to move on from him. When Andre’s brother Sunny needs a manny to care for his son Haydon, Andre believes that being the best uncle in the world is the closest he’s going to come to his own child for a long time.

"I didn’t mean to hurt him. I was just scared - but now I’m ready for so much more."

Andre wasn’t the only one that Jude ran out on - the expectations that he would take over his parents’ bakery also weighed heavy on his shoulders, and faced with so much responsibility, Jude started to unravel. But he’s back now to reconnect with his parents...and with Andre. Because sometimes you have to lose what you really want in order to understand that it’s been there all along.

Welcome to Sunnydale Vets, where love is the best medicine, and all it takes to fix your problems is the willingness to roll up your sleeves and get to work. This heartwarming audiobook features mpreg, delicious baked goods, one insightful little boy, and a second chance for the triumph of true love. This audiobook and every other audio book in the Sunnydale Vets Series can be ready in any order.

Another great book in a really good series!

I was so lucky to be able to sit down last night and listen to "When The Cat's Away", by Austin Bates and Narrated by Mr. Dubois. In listening to this book, I found it to be so much in depth and personal. I felt like I was right their in the story, Mr. Dubois has a way of pulling the listener into the book and before you know it your right their along with Andre and Jude and everyone else feeling the angst, the joys, the sorrows, etc. For this listener/reader I was completely blown away! If you get the opportunity to sit down and listen to this book, please take it, you will not be disappointed! An avid reader/listener in Rock Tavern, NY.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this series! Great book! Like usual the writing was good. The beginning was sad but made you want to know more. I loved how Jude was willing to do anything to get Andre back. The narration was good, and I enjoyed listening to this book. Ready for the next one!

When the Cat's Away

Jude and Andre have been a couple for six years. But one day Jude has a large melt down at their local Farmer's Market. He breaks up with Andre and then leaves town. He's going for two years. He finally decided it's time to head home. His biggest concern is to find out if the love of his life that he do publicly humiliated is still around and single it if he's moved on. When Andre see that Jude has returned he is shocked and didn't know how to react. It's an uphill battle for both to come to terms with the past to try to move on to a future.
Guillaume Dubois brings life to each of the characters.
Fantastic audio and story

sweet

The story was so sweet. I love how they were high school sweet hearts that broke up and then got back together. I love how they did everything at the farmers market.

Thank you for the audio

Thank you for the audio. I voluntarily give this an honest review. Jude had run when the pressure of real life started to caught up with him, not looking back until year later when he realised just how bad he had messed up. showing back in the small town, he had a lot to make up for starting with his parents after all the biggest challenge was to get Andre to forgive him.
seeing Jude back home wasn't something Andre was expecting. it had taken a while to get back a little bit of normalcy in his life after the heart shattering that Jude left behind. will Jude be able to convince him that giving him a second chance would be worth it? this was a great listen by narrator Guillaume Dubois

second chance

Jude tests the waters to find out the grass is not greener on the other side. I liked that both men were finally ready for a second chance and willing to do the work their relationship required. Sweet epilogue. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
