Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages, reading voraciously, and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that here ends the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures, she discovered the quill and its amazing power. Soon, to the dismay of her parents, she rather enjoyed being confined to her room and finished writing her first historical romance (which was a heart stopping 800 pages long...) at the age of 14.Places to find Delilah:
FOREVER A LADY, the hero, Matthew Joseph Milton, would be played by Jared Leto. He has the humor and intensity and could totally pull off an eye patchwhile making it still looking good. And Lady Burton, I totally see Ashley Judd playing. She can play the older woman (which Lady Burton is to Matthew by several years) with panache and bring the hero to his knees with a swing of the hip, a glance over the shoudler and the click of her tongue.
Lady Bernadette Marie Burton may be the richest widow in England, but like her dreams of finding true passion, her reputation is deteriorating. Cruel gossip, loneliness and hoards of opportunistic suitors have her believing Society couldn't be more vile...or dangerous. So when an attacker threatens her life, she finds safety in the most unseemly of places: the arms of a mysterious, Irish-American gang leader.
His fortune stolen, young Matthew Joseph Milton is done playing the respectable gentleman. In the slums of New York, only ruffians thrive. But from the moment he arrives in London and encounters the voluptuous Lady Bernadette, he can't help but wonder about the finer pleasures he's missing. Or just how much he's willing to risk-not only to bed her, but to prove his worth....

I love her choices. The hero Matthew for me would be plsyed by Jason Mamoa(Game Of Thrones) and Lady Burton would be Angelina Jolie
ReplyDeleteI think the cast picks are perfect, I can't think of anyone else.

Love the choices, My dream team would be Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans :)
ReplyDeleteI think the choices are perfect!I love the idea of an older woman and a younger man. Can't wait to read the book.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!! Especially that pic of Jared Leto:)

Her choices look really good, I don't know much about casting as I am not a movie watcher
ReplyDeleteups.. just see that this is US only, so dont count me
ReplyDeletelove the choice :)
I don't know who Jared Leto is, but he's yummy. Great casting choices.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun "casting"! I love her choices. As I haven't had the pleasure of reading any of Delilah's books, I leave it to her expertise :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE her choices... 2 of my favorites! I also love her books and would LOVE to win a few!!
ReplyDeleteI like Ashley Judd Jason Stratham would be cool but I can't argue with Leto thanks for the giveaway!

Wow Ashley Judd look good in that pic. I love her, especially with the tough time she's having now with the critics but with her swinging back about body image. I like that pic of Jared Leto, before he went all punk looking for his music career.

WOW!!! Love her choices...BUT here are mine :D
ReplyDeleteWe met both characters in the FOREVER AND A DAY, and both ROCKED (Ms. Marvelle gave us and held 'them' back just enough to hook us, and hook us good she did, otherwise they could have taken over the story that wasn't theirs)-that's how good they were.
Ian Somerhalder would be perfect as Matthew, especially in this pic http://www.thecelebarchive.net/ca/news.asp?news=55280
as for Lady Burton, Rachel Weisz is a perfect combo of elegance and poise as well as mischief- http://www.glamgalz.com/index.php/holly-celebs/hot-rachel-weisz-photoshoot.html
BTW I had a blast at RT's and meeting Ms. Marvelle was one of the highlights of my first time experience with the convention :D
LOVE love love her and her books!

I completely forgot about Jared Leto. He is such a hottie!
ReplyDeleteI love your choices. Especially when I read about Jared wit the eye patch.I would love to read this series of books.

Oh... I like Ashley Judd... She's pretty and smart.
ReplyDeleteI love Ashley Judd. She has a classical and very historical look to her - even how she carries herself. Jared to me might not fit as well, but I like him.
ReplyDeleteLove Ashley Judd but I'd do Gerard Butler just cause I'm in love with him and he's definitely a tall dark and handsome man!
ReplyDeleteAs I have not read this book yet, I can't speak to the merits of these actors for the roles, but I do love Jared Leto.
ReplyDeleteLove Your Choices Love Ashley Judd And Gerard Butler.

I'll take your choices on faith. I like both of the people you picked and based on the blurb they sound like they could do it.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices...Jared Leto is so beautiful...I could stare for hours into those blue eyes. And Ashley Judd is hot. Love the cover too!

Nice acting choices. Ashley Judd is a good pick.
ReplyDeleteI do like Ashley Judd. Great choices.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a Jared Leto fan :/
ReplyDeletebut LOVE Ashley :)
can't wait to read this book :P
I think that Jared is a perfect choice but think that Angelina Jolie would be a better match than Ashley Judd!
ReplyDeleteAshley Judd is perfect for the beautiful rich older woman. Though she isn't very old, she does have a grace about her.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about Jared Leto, but I always enjoy Ashley Judd - she sound perfect as an older woman.
