All the peregrine has to do is slightly alter its body shape and it can move side-to-side, slow down, speed up, or whatever is needed to hit the target and keep itself safe. It’s one thing to go fast, it’s another to control it. Amazingly, testing has revealed that in high altitude air, a peregrine falcon could theoretically reach speeds of 174 meters per second, which is a blistering 389 mph (Tucker 403). Once it is in this position, it bullets towards its prey at over 200 mph. When the peregrine falcon begins to dive, it naturally pulls its body into a perfectly aerodynamic shape, which looks kind of like a backward arrowhead (Pontz, Figure 4). In order to achieve such speeds, it has to be equipped with certain abilities. Being the fastest animal on the planet, the peregrine falcon is without a doubt one of the most awesome creatures. It only weighs about two pounds, but when its eyes lock on its prey, it can slice through the air at 242 miles per hour (Harpole). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Gritmon is repped by Kaplan Perrone, Paradigm and HWHM+F.

This should be convenient, because their families have arranged for them to marry – he desperately needs her money, and her family needs his title. ![]() When young heiress Millie meets Lord Fitzhugh, she falls madly in love at first sight. However, her writing is as lovely and as nuanced as ever and the portrayal of a slowly growing friendship that comes from a shared life is beautifully done. Keeping this in mind, Ravishing the Heiress is not my favorite Sherry Thomas novel because the nature of the character's relationship frustrated me.
