There’s also the possibility that Brenda will find Myron a perfect sports agent and hire him. Myron takes the job but cites his old friendship with Brenda’s father, Horace, as his reason as opposed to monetary motivation. Myron and Brenda get to talk and he goes clean about what Norm hired him to do, which Brenda appreciates, but insists she doesn’t need a body guard. Brenda tells him the entire story and he begins to understand what’s at stake. Other prominent girlfriends mentioned in the books are Emily Downing, Ali Wilder and Terese Collins. As mentioned in The Final Detail, he met Collins at a charity function and they ran away to a distant island to drown their sorrows after both suffered losses. Collins plays a major role in Long Lost. In Live Wire, Myron and Terese are engaged, and later in Home the two get married.

Retrieved 17 June 2021. I am not a good sympathetic ear, but I try very hard to appear like one. I try to nod in all the right places. I try to look concerned and mortified. My resting face, if you will allow me to use that annoying colloquialism again, is either disinterested or haughty. I struggle thus to engage and look caring. It takes some effort, but I believe that I’m pulling it off. p 44 In this story, told by Win in first-person perspective, readers learn more about what motivates the character than ever before.

If Win is as addictively irreverent as he is here in the Myron Bolitar series, I’m going to have to go and read them all. He’s astoundingly haughty and so, so wonderful.I love sex. I have lots of it. Myron waxes philosophical on how sex must be more than what it is – that love or romantic entanglement enhances the physical experience. I listen and I wonder whether he is trying to convince me or himself. I don’t like love or romantic entanglements. I like sharing certain physical acts with another consensual adult. The other stuff doesn’t 'enhance' sex for me. It sullies it. The act itself is pure. Why muddy that with the extraneous? Sex may be the greatest shared experience in the world. Yes, I enjoy going out for a gourmet meal or a good show or the company of dear friends. I appreciate golf and music and art. But do any of those compare to an evening of sex? Methinks not."
