Solo and Panther have a chance encounter at a bar and sparks definitely fly between them, but when the brooding and very reserved Panther sees the dog tags peeking from Solo's t-shirt, he backs off. What a lovely trilogy! If you, like me, went "Wait a minute." when you watched Top Gun and was just waiting for romance to bloom in the flight academy, this is definitely for you! From the titles to the overall vibe, this will hit the spot. I'm sure that their other books are perfectly lovely, but I don't think that the style is for me. Overall, I don't think that these are authors that I'll read again. These two were just two overly-perfect alpha-males, and it grew old really fast. People have imperfections, and it would have been nice to see some, particularly after Panther's accident, where it would make sense for him to have some kind of scarring. While the writing lacked a solid sense of setting, I felt like I was inundated with how "perfect" Solo and Panther's bodies were. Additionally, the descriptions were all over the place. It was only *part* of a story, and on its own, it wasn't satisfying. The sad part is, that I think Solo and Panther's story would have worked better if it were actually in one book, because each "book" lacked character arcs, romance arcs, and a rounded plot. Apparently, I'm in the minority, but I really tried with this "trilogy" (it's not a trilogy, it's one book that I have to pay for three times).

I answered the phone, and Susan Rodriguez said, "They've taken our daughter." Take it from us, you will not want to miss this one. And full-on enemies, like Nicodemus, the leader of the Order of the Blackened Denarius, and the vampire duchess Arianna Ortega.īut Changes takes everything you thought you knew about Harry and his world and turns it upside down. He's got frenemies, like mobster "Gentleman" Johnny Marcone, and his faerie godmother, the Leanansidhe. He's got good friends: Karrin Murphy of the Chicago PD, Waldo Butters, the polka-loving medical examiner, Michael Carpenter, retired Knight of the Cross. He lives in a basement apartment, with his dog, Mouse, and his cat, Mister. Over the past eleven books, we've come to know Harry. So if the title weren't a big enough clue, the fact that the cover of Jim Butcher's Changes depicts Harry somewhere other than his beloved Chicago makes it clear that the latest entry in the Dresden Files series is, yes, a game-changer for Chicago's only professional wizard, Harry Dresden. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Things we say in the darkAn accomplished designer and illustrator, he incorporates influences from theater, film, animation, and mid-century design.

Hound dog breeds became part of the AKC in 1885, with the acceptance of the basset hound, beagle, and the bloodhound. The American Kennel Club (AKC) was founded in 1884 by a group of dedicated dog sportsmen who wanted to create a premier dog club for the celebration and delegation of specific dog breeds. Bloodhounds are first referenced in the 14th century in England and France, and are so-called because they were considered “blooded” or, having aristocratic blood.įrom these ancient breeds, dozens of modern dog breeds, both sight, and scent hounds, have been developed, resulting in today’s 32 AKC-recognized hound dog breeds.
