To Ride with the Knight by Emma V. Leech
A reckless beauty…
Lady Helena Adolphus is no stranger to scandal. Her brother may be a duke, but his black reputation once threatened her own chances of making a good match. Now returned to the bosom of the ton, Helena is feted and courted as much for her loveliness and wild green eyes as for her hefty dowry. Yet the eligible bachelors leave her cold and respectability is deadly dull. There is only one man who makes her pulse leap, and she knows she’d be a fool to pursue him.
A ruthless man…
Gabriel Knight understands desperation. Born into poverty and raised in a foundling home, Gabriel used every opportunity to claw his way out of the gutter. Now one of the wealthiest men in England, wicked Knight is dismayed to discover his success has not bought him happiness. Restless and bored, he blames his ennui on the pompous aristocrats he despises, those who still close doors in his face.
An imprudent affair …
Though Helena is aware of Gabriel’s animosity for the ton that shuns him, the sinful man tempts her beyond all reason. He is likely out to ruin her, and she knows it, but her stupid pride won’t let her back down from each confrontation. Before she knows what she’s doing, Helena has opened her mouth and dared him to do something scandalous.
As the heat of attraction flares hotter between them, the risk of getting burned only makes riding with the Knight ever more enticing.

Book 10 of the Girls Who Dare series was about Lady Helena Adolphus, daughter and sister of a duke, she was vivacious, managing, and a member of the Peculiar Ladies' Book Club, and Gabriel Knight, a man who was born in poverty and raised in an orphanage. Though Gabriel managed to rise from the streets to become one of the richest men in England, he was still not welcome in society and still not happy. Book 10 actually started out with a good bit of humor, which was a pleasant surprise. Even when Helena completed her dare was hilarious. The fact that humor can be so well incorporated into a romance novel is such an ideal plan that every author should try at least once or twice. While this book had more romance than most of the other books so far in the series, it was also more boring. It droned on and on about Gabriel's having grown up on the streets and in an orphanage and it had more interference in their relationship from all sides, and that includes the author's tendencies to throw other characters' romances and trials into the mix. As much as I believe love can change a heart, the way this book portrayed Gabriel as a man who would use people to get what he wanted and then drop them faster than a hot penny didn't give credence to how fast his attitude towards the aristocracy changed. No one changes that fast. While I realize it was just a book, just a story and therefore had time constraints, I've seen many a novel factor in a longer timeline in fewer chapters than this book in order to accommodate the necessary changes in a person's attitude, character, and emotions. I think this was one of the most boring books in the series so far. It took me far too long to read as I kept wandering away from it, which is unusual for me. Normally I can't put a book down until I've read it cover to cover. This one, however, I deliberately put down as it just did not hold my attention in the least. However, I was eager to get past it, so I pressed on to the ending, which was far better than I expected. While the book was long and a bit boring, it was pretty much the same as all the others. It was a good book but did not merit the Keeper for the Shelves award.
