Keep scrolling for my review and a Giveaway!WITHOUT BORDERS For Annie London, a month in a Central American rainforest means handing out mosquito nets, giving medical aid, and teaching children about the birds and the bees. With any luck, it will also land her application in the “accepted” pile at a top tier medical school. But as soon as she steps off the plane, Annie realizes her bug spray, feeble Spanish, and medical supplies won’t help her deal with her new feelings for Felipe—her best friend's older brother, who's much hotter than she remembers, and who also happens to be the doctor in charge of the trip.​

​Gawking “volun-tourists” may keep his family’s medical clinic afloat, but Dr. Felipe Gutierrez doesn’t have to like them. Or the way they make snap judgments about his practice and the people he cares for. But when his old crush, Annie, shows up to volunteer, her killer curves and kind smile fan the embers of a flame Felipe didn’t realize he’d been carrying. A flame that makes him question all his preconceived notions.
 
As ideas and cultures clash, Annie and Felipe must decide how far outside their comfort zones they are willing to go—both for their work and for one another.BUY WITHOUT BORDERS  Amazon  //  B & N  //  Google Play  //  iTunes  //  Kobo
​I loved this book. Loved it. Beautiful writing with warmth and wit. Complex, likable characters. Heger's debut rocked my world. 

This book hooked me from the blurb and kept me going until the last page. I love the fresh setting of the story and the dynamic, diverse characters. The setting is so beautifully written that I felt like I’d been to Nicaragua (I have not.) It’s rich and authentic from the scenery to the people.

Heger is one of the wittiest writers I’ve read. Her humor is sharp and fun and will have you laughing out loud at all the right parts. It’s great craft when an author can slip in lines like: “My vagina!” and it totally fits in the plot/scene. Seriously. It’s not a throw away line for a cheap laugh. Heger proves throughout the story that she is a master of comedic writing for the situation. 

But WITHOUT BORDERS not a comedy. It’s a beautiful story about opening your mind and opening your heart. Throwing away preconceived notions and stereotypes and letting the beauty of people from other cultures into your life. Acceptance and love. 

Annie and Felipe were real, believable, and so DAMN cute. Every interaction made the proverbial butterflies in my stomach flit around. I couldn’t wait for them to get together. And can I get a “Hell yes” for Dr. Felipe? Thank you, Ms. Heger, for writing a multidimensional diverse hero. Felipe was kind, intelligent, and brooding…which adds up to so super sexy.

Final notes: 
1. Amanda Heger owes me new glasses. Read this book in one day. Started in the morning (then I had life stuff to do) and finished it in bed, where I proceeded to read until all hours of the morning and drop my iPad on my face. So yeah, couldn’t stop reading.

2. Pork Sword. That is all.
