Book 3 in The Unfinished Business Series but is a standalone

Fate is not always written in the stars…


Being headhunted by NASA might be his ultimate dream, but Cato’s life still sucks. He’s tired of anonymous one-night stands. He’s tired of being lonely. And, frankly, he’s tired of himself. As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, he realises the only thing to do if he wants to be happy is to reinvent himself.

Persuaded by his sister to spend New Year’s Eve in Scotland with his parents, Vigge can’t escape the memory of why their family fractured eighteen years ago, and his part in it. He’s channelled the guilt he feels into finding truth and justice for others, but his own life is empty and cold.

A chance encounter at a snowbound airport has Vigge and Cato colliding in more ways than one. Someone seems to have it in for Cato, and as Vigge gets drawn into the mess of Cato’s life, he finds himself falling for the sexy scientist. If only Vigge can make peace with his past and step away from the darkness, they just might have a chance at a future as bright as Cato’s beloved stars.

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Reinventing Cato is the third book in Barbara Elsborg's Unfinished Business series. It's easily read as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the first two books as they are amazing. 

There's a lot going on in this story. But Cato and Vigge's tale starts with a carpool ride.

Cato is struggling with everything in his life, and knows he needs to get on a better path. Vigge's family, meanwhile, is disappointed that he's gay. 

Cato's throuple gone bad is an important aspect in this story. His two exes left him hurt and yet they continue to haunt him. 

Cato's looking to get his dream job with NASA but it's all a complicated issue. Not just because he's falling for Vigge, but also because of some obstacles around the job. 

The suspense, danger, and action aspect is well done, with small things sprinkled throughout. Cato's involved with something dangerous, as someone is after him, and it's becoming more than he can handle. 

Vigge meanwhile is a cop who's trying to solve some murders. This element is fascinating and adds tremendously to the storyline. The men become connected in a way they never wanted. And the mystery around this is carried throughout, with everything coming full circle in the end. 

Reinventing Cato is a wonderful hurt/comfort read. Barbara Elsborg combines emotion, character growth, intrigue, and heat into this compelling suspenseful romance. I love every moment of this long and detailed read.
