Dagger

Steel Demons MC #10

by Sarina Hart

She’s in danger. She’s mine. And I ain’t lettin’ her outta my sight.

Didn’t plan on gettin’ tangled up with my kid’s teacher.

Miss Bronson—sweet voice, soft curves, and way too many good intentions. The kinda woman who sticks her nose where it don’t belong… like in my daughter’s life.

At first, I watched ‘cause I had to. Had to make sure she wasn’t a threat.
But then I kept watchin’—because I couldn’t f*ckin’ stop.
Wasn’t just me, though. Some creep started sniffin’ around, and I saw red.
So I stepped in. Told myself I was just protectin’ her.

Truth? I just wanted an excuse to pull her close.
And once I had her, I wasn’t lettin’ go.

We were close to catchin’ the bastard tailin’ her—but he got to her first.
I’m comin’ for her—ain’t stoppin’ till she’s back where she belongs.

Because she’s not just my obsession anymore.
She’s mine.

The Biker and Teacher

"Dagger" is the 10th book in the Steel Demons MC series. Dagger was taught that love is a weakness, so he has always kept his sweet little girl, Dani, at a distance, believing it was what was best for her. With a new teacher in town—Sinclair, who is also Dani's teacher—he finds himself drawn to her in ways he never expected. He soon realizes that she is becoming an obsession for him. When Dagger discovers that Sinclair has a stalker, everything changes. His protective and possessive instincts take over, and all he wants to do is protect what he feels belongs to him.

Sinclair has had to take care of herself her whole life after her mother passed away at a young age, and her father was never really around. Now new to town, she feels a special bond with Dani. When Dani’s attractive father, Dagger, asks for her help in connecting with his daughter, she cannot resist saying yes. She feels a similar connection with Dagger, and as they get to know each other, they can no longer deny their feelings.

However, when Sinclair learns of Dagger's secret, she begins to pull back and put up walls again. Can she trust him and his brothers about the reality of her stalker? Will Dagger and his brother be able to stop the stalker in time to save her?

The characters are well-written, and the world is nicely developed. Each story in this interconnected series stands alone, with each couple ultimately finding their happily ever after (HEA). The slow burn of romance features just the right amount of steamy moments, along with a twist involving a stalker that is completely unexpected and keeps you turning the pages. It’s easy to read in one sitting, and you won’t want to miss a moment. As always, I look forward to the next book in the series.

This a great lite MC Romance, its not massively dark although there is some mild violence at one point in the book.

This story follows Dagger, a single dad and MC member and Sinclair, who is his daughter’s teacher. Initially Dagger is only watching Sinclair in order to ensure that his daughter is safe around her new teacher. However all it takes is one look before his obsession begins, he’s just trying to keep his daughter safe, well that’s what he is telling himself, the reality however is a little different.

Sinclair leads a surprisingly lonely life, with no family left, and having only just moved into the area. When she meets dagger the attraction and connection between them is almost instantaneous, and as she feels a bond with his young daughter too, she easily falls into situationship with Dagger. Unfortunately there is danger on the horizon and so Sinclair is forced to turn to Dagger for help and as his protective instincts go into overdrive the pair rapidly build their growing connection into something more meaningful.

This is a sweet, well written romance that is perfect for anyone looking for a slightly dark romance (more of a grey tbh) with no cheating or OWD to be found.

Another great addition to the series!

I don’t know what it is with these Steel Demons men that have me so captivated! I loved Dagger. I felt deeply for him and his internal and emotional struggles. He was taught at an early age that love is a weakness. He adores his little girl, Dani, but due to this fact, he keeps her at arms length. Sinclair, his daughter’s fourth grade teacher, bursts into his life in order to teach him that love, and expressing it, is a necessity. Genuine, loving, caring and with a traumatic childhood herself, she feels drawn to him and Dani as well. She, too, craves acceptance and a family bond. In her trying to help him connect with his daughter, they find so much in one another. Of course, apart from the emotional drama, it wouldn’t have been a Steel Demons book if there wasn’t real drama and danger. Someone targets Sinclair and Dagger is there to keep her safe. This closeness only enhances the attraction and the emotional connection. All in all, I loved every page and I can’t wait for the next one! 5 stars!

She is new to town having taken a job as a fourth grade teacher. She is settling into a quiet life when she meets one of her student’s dad. He is nothing that would fit into her quiet life. He’s a tall hulking biker, who looks like danger follows him. He also sets her on fire like nothing she’s ever experienced. He is immediately drawn to the curvy little teacher. He can see the pain of her past and herself protectiveness. He recognizes it because he has been using it himself for years when she challenges him to be better for his daughter he can’t help but be taken with her. When danger comes to her doorstep he is certainly not going to stand by. The character development in this one is good. Two emotionally vulnerable people who find each other and a reason to get out of their comfort zones and do better. This is the 10th book in the series and well each one is its own complete standalone. I still recommend that you read them in order as character characters from previous stories will pop up and you’ll get life updates. Always a happy ending this is a great series.

Dagger is a single father that feels the need to check the back ground of his daughters new teacher. However p, while doing this he becomes attracted to her and notices that she is being followed by another person.

Sinclair is a new teacher in town. She lives a life not connecting because she does not plan to stay in one place for long. She notices that one of her students being bothered by another student and subtly steps in. But when she feels like more is going on with the student she requested a meeting with the parent, which is Dabger.

After the conference Dagger comes up with a plan to keep Sinclair close. Truths are revealed and Sinclair is not happy and wants to return to life as she knows it. Dagger gives her space, but knows that she is not completely safe yet.

It was a good read and I just never understand why folks blame others for the choices that parents make.

Dagger started watching his daughter's teacher to ensure that she was not a threat, but the more he watched the more he became interested in Miss Sinclair Bronson. He caught sight of a creep watching her as well, now he needs to protect her and that was the only reason, so he told himself.

Sinclair has always taken care of herself and has had no close friends. This new teaching job is a test of whether she can find a place to stay. She finds a bond with one of her students, Dani, who comes with a hot biker dad. He could really break her heart if she lets him get close.

What will happen when she finds out that Dagger has been stalking her? I loved this installment of the Steel Demons MC, Dagger has the biggest growth of the trio, learning that love does not make you weak.

This was a great story. We are taken along in the life of Dagger and Sinclair. Their journey starts when he first keeps an eye on her from a distance because she is the new teacher of his daughter Dani and wants to know if she is good for her. Even though he does not do love, he cannot prevent himself from developing feelings for her, and when he notices that she is being portrayed by another man, his protectiveness comes to the surface and he does everything he can to prevent and that she returns when the stalker is gone and they can form a family together. A wonderful story.

[Darcy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved that Dagger was a multi-faceted character. He was as expected as an MC brother, but he was also an awkward single father to a little girl, Dani. He wanted to be different from the man his father was, cold and distant, but he didn't know how. Sinclair has drawn Dagger's interest and he actually stalks her and tells himself it is to protect Dani. Their budding romance is further jeopardized when a second stalker reveals himself. As they each navigate past childhood experiences, the suspense builds for a good finish.

[Didi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dagger was taught from a young age not to love because it was a weakness. Keeping himself apart from all including his child was his normal until a spunky teacher stood up to him about his daughter. Danger and love blend as Sinclair finds herself a target and revelations rock her world. I loved the growth in Dagger as he became a better father and committed to a future with Sinclair. As always the MC family rallies to protect their own. Great series.

Dagger is the tenth book in the Steel Demons MC series. As in previous books in the series, the characters are believable and lovable, even the gnarly bikers. You become vested in how things go for them and this one is no different, especially since it involves a very nice teacher who is in danger, and the very charming Dagger.

This is a slow burn romance that does have some very steamy moments. It is a page turner with action, suspense, an unexpected twist, drama, and a well deserved HEA.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book. I enjoyed pretty much all of the characters, well there were a few I didn't care for. This was a book of compassion, kindness, protection, awareness, and doing the right thing. I enjoyed Dagger and Sinclair story. I think the author did an amazing job putting these characters together. The way things came together was very unusual but it all worked out in the end. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers and MC lovers.

Great story!!

This is the tenth book in this phenomenal series and this is Dagger and Sinclair 's story.
This is a well written action packed story, with found family, friendships, emotions, danger, suspense, secrets, tension, drama, humour, witty banter, challenges, determination, stalking, revelations, undeniable chemistry, and love which leads to an entertaining, addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

When Dagger looked into the life of his daughter's new teacher, he had no idea that he would become obsessive over it, but he wasn't the only one. As they got to know each other feelings entered into the picture. Someone else was stalking Sinclair and was getting closer. Will Dagger and his MC brothers be able to get to the culprit before danger befalls Sinclair.

[Marie Devlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was so sweet Dagger really came out of his shell with all the feelings he has been scared to show even to his own daughter.
Sinclair was really what Dagger and Dani needed because that little girl was so sweet and really needed that female touch that she was so desperately missing since her mother's passing.
Another great twist that had you guessing who the bad guy was.
I can't wait for the next and to see if Sinclair's friend Sarah finds her own sexy biker.

Believable MC love story with depth 💕

This was a special story. Perfect balance of believable danger and timely flow of the love story. It didn’t feel pushed. I also thought Hart handled the characters growth well / eloquently. Sometimes MC love stories can have such a cringe tone but this one was literally perfect and the MC was more of a backdrop for the love story but not neglected. Very much worth the read.

Dagger is book 10 in the Steel Demons MC series. Who would have thought that Dagger, the hater of all things love, would find just that? In his daughters school teacher at that! Sinclair quickly became Daggers obsession and so much more in this fast paced, intense, steamy story. Trouble comes for Sinclair and Dagger finds out just how much she means to him. You don't want to miss their journey!

Dagger is determined to protect her but her stalker was a complete surprise. I liked how they healed each other as they fell in love. I'm glad Dagger was able to save Sinclair and that they make a good family.

Dagger and his daughter Dani need a woman in their life, and her new teacher Sinclair fits so well into the role he didn't know they needed. With drama and plenty of steam in this protective biker meets sweet teacher, you'll love reading every page to the last.
