For the Love of Books: If... Judith McNaught Characters Were Hollywood Actors and Actresses

I still remember the first Judith McNaught novel I read back when I was in high school. It was Something Wonderful, a passionate love story about loss, betrayal and true love. The reading experience was a turning point for me, mainly because it introduced me to the world of historical romances and sparked my addiction to romance. I mean, for a high school teen with raging hormones and rose-tinted ideals, I thought Something Wonderful was really, truly wonderful.

Now, I've read all Judith McNaught novels and novellas. I'm eagerly anticipating her next novel Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, due early next year (according to her website). Although Ms McNaught has shifted to contemporary suspense-romance, she is still one of my favorite storytellers. One thing I like most about her stories are her unforgettable characters. Although they are all remarkable in their own right, like Clayton's harshness or Sheridan's red hair or Meredith's class, for me, they all share something in common: physical beauty and passionate temperaments. Being a bibliophile, my visual imagery have been honed almost to perfection. That is why one thing I like about reading is the visual paintings that I create myself while immersed in words. The most common imagery I found fascinating are imagining characters' faces, particularly Judith McNaught's characters. Bliss.

So if you're a Judith McNaught fan, browse through my character images and let me know what you think.
