REINVENTING CATO (Unfinished Business #3) by BARBARA ELSBORG

“A policeman and an astrophysicist went into a bar and got into trouble.”

Reinventing Cato by Barbara Elsborg can be read as a standalone in a series, however, we rate every single book so highly we would recommend reading to get the full experience of the characters that pop up in every book. This Author once again managed to pair dramatic suspense with sarcasm and humour and tragedy with inspirational love. The way in which Barbara Elsborg blends fiction with realism is spot on and addictive. And on a side note, her intense need and craving for facts, be they relevant or obscure, well where is she when we need her for our online pub quiz? She’d be our ‘phone a friend’! We always know what to expect from this Author, and she never lets us down. The writing is flawless, the humour timeless and the storyline compelling. Her characters never fail to worm their way into our hearts, only to stay and find a forever home.

“Can I tell them you’re my psychiatrist?”
“Why not settle for boyfriend?”
“Did the word catch in your throat?” Cato asked.
“On the way from my heart?”
“Oh.” Cato smiled. “I think that might be the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me.”

Reinventing Cato had mayhem and drama galore, it literally didn’t stop, and we were completely swept up in it, though we would’ve perhaps liked a bit more Cato and Vigge away from all the drama and heartbreak. Once again, it was a case of opposites attract and finding that one person who sees through the façade and emotionally spurs on personal realisations, dreams, and comfort. But most of all finding that soulmate love we all dream about who brings out the best in us that may be hidden or lying dormant. Oh, and we must mention once again the Devan and Jonty appearances which are just a breath of joyful fresh air, we know we’ve got a big wide perma-smile on our faces when they appear! Cato and Vigge have been added to our hearts for being so lovable, funny, eccentric, and just bloody wonderful. We highly recommend this series for lovers of mm romance with a penchant for murder, drama, and an abundance of twists and turns. Sprinkled with passion and laughter.

‘Vigge wrapped his arms around him. Cato clung to him so hard that Vigge’s heart felt as if it were trying to get out of his chest and climb into Cato’s to give it a hug.’
