No Time To Spare is a charming, fast paced, FBI thriller with a dose of international intrigue, child abuse, and a budding love interest thrown in for good measure. All in all, it is a fine recipe for a really good read. Sam MacAteer is an FBI Special Agent, great looking, unattached and in love with his job. A few years ago, he was one of the agents who brought down Ariel Bauer, an extremely talent computer specialist, and sent her to jail. With jail on her resume, Ariel has been unable to find a job in her chosen profession and works in a beauty parlor. The last person on earth who should come to her asking for a favor is Sam. However, Sam is working on a very nasty case where Ariel's expertise could lead to a quick and positive outcome, so the arrogant dude waltzes back into her life looking for help. The denouement may be predictable but the action sequence leading to it is taut and engaging. I loved the characters in the book; they were so well developed that they exuded real life. The author managed to make them smarter than average, better looking than average, and still engaging - no easy feat. Great characters abound in this lively novel, even to the secondary characters like Poppi and Clothilde. The villains are despicable, the action compelling and the book a worthy read! Find some spare time and enjoy No Time To Spare.
