NO TIME TO SPARE ASIN# B009C00DJM, published September 18th 2012, was so good, I couldn't put it down until I was done. Have you ever switched your schedule around to finish a book? Because it was just that good? I have to say that I didn't want this book to end. Every page kept me interested in this contemporary romance novel. Ariel Bauer has a lot to explain and is a genius computer whiz who was trying to assist a University she attended when she lands herself in prison.  Ariel grew up with a hard childhood but didn't expect things to every turn upside down again. She was shocked when she had another sleuth of bad luck. All she wanted to do was make her father, Walter happy. She enjoyed the time they had together and treasured him so from getting her out of such a painful childhood.Sam MacAteer is the FBI Agent who made sure she got the maximum penalty. But Sam MacAteer along with his partner Brian Lazano and many other FBI agents who came together to put Ariel in prison the first time ,were determined to put her behind prison again, but they still call on her to do work for them.  It's the same kind of work that landed her in a cell to begin with. Her father Walter, has always been there for her.  He rescued her from her bitter childhood early in her life, but he can't help her now but to offer support.  Her phobias are all coming back to haunt her, and no one cares.  Frank Elliot the head of Sam and Brian's Department is no where to be seen or heard from.  He is busy dealing with other pressing matters.I have to say that this author really knows how to write and keep a reader's interest throughout an entire novel. The book was published by  Carina Press[...] as an ebook for only 2.99.  The plot was so enriching that I was frustrated when I had to get up and go to the bathroom. Now that... is keeping a reader happy! The characters had such magnetic personalities that they came to life. The adventures that everyone goes on are more fun than tv and movies combined. I have to say that I wasn't expecting this. Have you wanted to reach a suspense, romance, mystery/investigative, international novel? Well here is one I added to my list and I know I will want to read again in the future. It was gut wrenching as it delved into the world of child pornography. The details made Law & Order Special Victims Unit look like it needed some antibiotics to keep up with this treasure. The author was graphic yet caring when writing about each character.There were some men who were in very high places that have decided to deal in the world of child pornography amongst other illegal activity they use to hide behind in the internet world.  They live very upstanding lives in front of most but behind doors they have fetishes and obsessions that are sick and that must be stopped. There are some things we all never want to know. So we don't have to find out. But the questions we have about the minds of the predators that could be enticed by photos of nude children can be answered in this great novel. The chase of the criminal is hard to detect because there are spins and turns that aren't expected in No Time To Spare. This definitely is an unpredictable novel in many of the pages.There is a well developed plot that has a very believable environment that supports the book solidly. Everything in it makes sense and fits. Sam, Brian, Walter, & Ariel are some team in this book. Very humorous and charismatic. There are some deep wounds that may not be able to be healed by the pains of being locked up for what Ariel feels is unjust time in prison. There are crooked people in high places, and angels in low ones. That is a nice asset that makes this book one that is inspiring.The passion and crime all fit in so nicely it leaves you feeling like there should be a show made that has continual episodes of these unique characters. Having similarities to shows, movies, and books that I have read in the past was barely noticed when reading this novel. This is because G.S. MAURO was able to own this world she created in this book and bring us in. And boy, you won't want to leave. What a book! Can't wait for this author to write more!  I give this book 5 cups because the plot wasn't one that just any writer could develop. The settings, characters, writing style, and flow was better than most romance novels I have read in a long time.
