The lead characters in this disturbing, but easy to read crime story (and blossoming romance) must find a way to work together to solve a heinous crime. They have a past relationship that makes working together, now, awkward - to say the least.  We watch as complications arise, based as much on their past as on the present state of affairs.  The female lead, Ariel Bauer, was in the recent past, sent to prison for computer hacking.  The FBI agent, Sam MacAteer and his partner, Brian Lozano, were involved in sending her to prison.  Now, she's out, not working with computers, but the FBI, and those very same agents, want, need, her to use her computer skills to help them solve a heinous  crime - a criminal operation - child porgnography and a ring of adult (mostly) males involved in providing children - young children - for child pornography and pedophilia. How can Ariel not help these FBI agents?  She can't.While the subject matter is disturbing, the plot is a crime story - with romance thrown in - as Ariel, MacAteer and Lozano, all good people, eventually go to Romania to bring down the sick and evil perpetrators and their operation."No Time to Spare" is a fast and easy read.  I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the lead characters. I am likely to read other books by G. S. Mauro.
