Mi amado marques (Seduction of an English Scoundrel) Book

While I did like elements of the story, I got frustrated with some logic flaws. Theoretically, the heroine was "ruined" owing to the fact that her bridegroom jilted her at the altar. Turns out that she herself set this up; neither she nor her intended had ever wanted to marry, and he wanted to marry someone else. OK, so why not just have him elope a week before the wedding? Why put herself in the position of standing at the altar before a crowd of people for hours waiting for the man she knew would never come? And yes, it's true that a woman's reputation would be tarnished by such a situation, but to make out like she would not be accepted in respectable company because of it - that's a bit much. If she had the connections, she could easily persuade the ton she was the wronged party, and her reputation would survive it. But hey, just to make the story good, the male protag decides to "salvage" her reputation by appearing to court her, temporarily. He happens to be a renowned rake, and his instant, avid attentions to her right after she's abandoned at the altar would hardly help her repair her reputation. Rather, it would more likely cause people to speculate that maybe her bridegroom jilted her because he found out she was fooling around with the rake. There's more like that; I often felt like the author was bending rules of logic in order to put her characters in the dramatic situations.
