When you’re reading a book, do you picture an actor as the hero? I always form a mental image, though usually not of an actor. If the book becomes a movie, I’m often disappointed that the star doesn’t match the likeness I’ve conjured in my brain. Other times, I’ve been pleased that the performer exceeds my ideas. This was the case with Hugh Jackman portraying Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables.”
If your favorite book were being filmed as a movie and you were in charge of casting, who would you choose to play the hero? Here are some of my favorite candidates to star in “Brazos Bride,” book one of the Men of Stone Mountain trilogy.

1. Matthew Goode - My favorite of his roles was in the movie “Leap Year” with Amy Adams. How could she resist those eyes? Answer: She couldn’t. And in the movie, he refuses to accept the money he desperately needs to repay a loan and keep his pub and hotel. Why? He won’t take the cash from the woman he has come to love, played by Amy Adams. You may think his honor and pride result in failure. If you’ve seen the movie, you know that isn’t true. Which makes him that more admirable, at least in my opinion.
In “Brazos Bride”, Micah Stone is the youngest of three Stone brothers of Texas, but still a force in his own right. He’s quiet, soulful, and misunderstood by all but his family. He feels slights deeply and is loyal, honest, and caring. As a former soldier and Texas Ranger, he has vowed never again to shoot at another human. When the woman he has come to love pleads for his help, but with tough stipulations, he puts aside his vow of peace and agrees. Don’t you agree that Matthew Goode has the skill required to transform himself into Micah in “Brazos Bride”?

2. Alex O’Loughlin - This “Hawaii 50” star undoubtedly has women begging him to arrest them. He’d make a wonderful Zach Stone in the Men of Stone Mountain trilogy. All three Stone brothers are similar, but Zach is the one that attracts the most attention from females. Although he’s been a Texas Ranger, Zach is the family peacemaker, the calm and logical brother who reasons with the other two. As a lawman on “Hawaii 50,” Alex O’Loughlin could transition to play former Texas Ranger Zach Stone. Zach has his own book in “High Stakes Bride.”

3. Hugh Jackman - Is there any role this man can’t play? He not only acts, he sings and he dances. I have loved him in each role he’s played, but my favorite was the drover in Australia. And there’s nothing miserable about his performance in “Les Miserables.” He’d be perfect as Joel Stone in the Men of Stone Mountain trilogy. As the senior brother, Joel is used to being in command, but listens to Micah and Zach and values their opinions. Joel even acted as attorney for his brother when Micah was unjustly on trial for murder. Formerly a Texas Ranger, Joel commands respect from his brothers and, later, from the county residents he eventually represents as sheriff in “High Stakes Bride” and the upcoming ‘Bluebonnet Bride.” Joel is known for his by-the-book honesty and fairness. Hugh Jackman commands that respect and attention, don’t you agree?
What is your favorite book? Would one of these actors be suitable to star as the hero?

Hope Montoya knows someone is poisoning her, but who? She suspects her mother was also poisoned and knows her father was murdered. Who wants her family eliminated? She vows to fight! She realizes she won’t last the eight months until she turns twenty-five and her uncle no longer controls her or her estate. Never will she be dominated by a man as she was by her father, as she has seen her mother and grandmothers dominated. If she marries, she gains control now, but only if she weds a man she can trust. Only one man meets her requirements. Can she trust him to protect her and capture the killer…but then to leave?
Micah Stone has been in love with Hope since the first time he saw her. But he was accused of her father’s murder and surely would have hung if not for his two brothers’ aid. Most in the community still believe him guilty. But the drought has him too worried about water for his dying cattle to care about his neighbors’ opinions. When Hope proposes a paper marriage in exchange for land on the Brazos River and much needed cash, her offer rubs his pride raw. His name may be Stone, but he’s not made of it. He can’t refuse her for long, and so their adventure begins. He and Hope have to stay alive and discover the killer before they become victims in the deadly assaults.
