Dayton
How can I protect the woman I love if I’m part of the threat?
By any and every means possible, that’s how—except Christa’s not making my fight easy. Why would she when I still have everything to prove and she has everything to lose?
Sure, I can compromise—maybe—but fair warning, retreat is definitely not in my nature.
I’m in a league of my own, a winner, a fighter, and I absolutely will not quit until my enemies are eliminated.

Avenging Christa continues on from where book 1 left off. Packed full of twists and turns, romance, revenge, love, emotions,drama and family this books sends you on an emotional rollercoaster. You never quite know what is going to happen next. All I am going to say is they really do go through the wringer but even though they go to hell and back they come back fighting and stronger for it. I loved this book and all of the characters good and bad.
What a suspenseful, nerve wracking and bumpy ride. While most of the story was to be expected and kinda predictable, there were still a couple of things that surprised me. Although I felt with the characters and their tough way through this story, I liked that it was not smooth sailing but had real bite to it.
The Story:
Sutton was a monster but always escaped prosecution because of his status and money. Now he was set to destroy Christa and take away what she loved the most because she tried to imprison him. Fortunately, Christa has Dayton by her side and his finances are what grant them more possibilities and security, meaning a higher chance of winning the fight against Sutton. But will it really be enough?! Who will come out in the end as the winner?! And what might get lost along the way?!
Thoughts:
I liked that the book started where the first one left off. Although this story felt familiar to me as I’ve read many similar ones, I was captured by the suspense of it and couldn’t put it down until I knew how the war between the characters ended.
Of course, all the worry and fear of what might happen if Sutton won took a toll on Christa and Dayton as individuals as well as their relationship. I liked how they found strength in one another and didn’t relent to the tireless pressure that was inflicted on them.
The story had a great pace, was well written and hard to put down. I also loved that a certain favorite character of mine came to help Dayton and Christa, someone whom we met in previous books by Tracie Delaney.
All in all, I really enjoyed this conclusion, which I also liked a little bit better than the first book because the story was steadier and had a more defined line on where it was headed. At least that’s how it felt for me.
What a way to end the Christa books!!! A must read!!
Did I say how much I absolutely ADORE this collaboration between these two brilliant authors? If I didn’t then I really am slipping because these books, this series is absolutely awesome!
The overall plot in Tempting Christa really does come to a climactic end in Avenging Christa. I read it with so much trepidation that I think I gave myself a headache. You see there were so many frustrating moments for me and what I mean by that is ‘frustrating because I wanted to beat one of the characters with a club and not think twice about it.’ You know those characters that are just inherently evil & sadistic? That’s Sutton. And every time he came on the scene I was so bloody frustrated that I couldn’t crawl through my kindle and garrotte the barstardo! <(Not a typo, but I can’t write the real word so...) I love how these two authors have thought about this, done their research & come up with such a tasty story. It’s really a testament when two authors can work together so seamlessly and come up with an intriguing & genuine plot. I did notice a crossover between this book and another character who appeared briefly in one of her other series which I was totally shocked & completely giddy about because that character is MINE. I claimed him & I’m having him. If you haven’t spotted this character, read Delaney’s Brook Brothers series & you’ll see who I mean. However don’t go crazy & think you can have him. Please see above if you wish to start that argument. I really & thoroughly enjoyed this series & collaboration. Here’s hoping for more! Highly, highly recommend!
When two awesome authors come together to write a story like this you know it just doesn’t get any better that this.Sometimes a follow up book can be good,average or simply the best damn book ever,and this second book fit into this last category by far,just superb.
This start exactly where book one finished with Christa pushing Dayton away because when it comes to choosing between your lover or your child there is no contest,this is what her ex Sutton wants to happen,but he does not know the strength and determinations that is Dayton and he will do anything to protect what is his and that is Christa and Max.
WOW the twists to this story is mind-blowing you just never know where this story is going from one moment to the next,which keeps you on your toes throughout,the action was explosive with how this was all unfolding before my eyes,and the icing on the cake for me was that we got to see some of our favourite characters from Tracie’s earlier books which for me personally was great,i mean come on what is not to like about Cole Brooke making a few appearances along with Draven.
A sensational ending to a explosive book was just what i wanted to read,if this is how these two authors are together i want more much more of this please.
