Fall Into You
by J. T. Geissinger · Independent · 2023
An office-romance engine that runs on enforced proximity: alternating first-person Shay/Cole chapters keep both the heroine's longing and the hero's guarded secret visible at once, manufacturing dramatic-irony tension that the forbidden boss-assistant policy converts into near-constant slow-release anticipation. Frequent on-page scenes and a withheld plot secret push the cliffhanger-and-payoff cadence hard toward binge reading.
Engineered signals
Six measures of how hard this title works the immersion engine. Each is captioned with what it means — the catalog scores every book on the same axes.
What this book is tagged
The full tag set, grouped by dimension. Heat & Kink and Content Warnings are the explicit signals — surfaced, not buried in a flat trope list.

Location
Share of page-time spent on buildup and tension rather than payoff. High values mean the book sells the wait, not the moment.
How strongly the narration collapses the gap between reader and protagonist, peaking with first-person, reader-insert voice.
The "book boyfriend" pull: how hard the text works to form a one-sided attachment to a love interest.
Cliffhanger and serial-loop intensity — the compulsion to start the next chapter or installment.
How steeply intensity ramps across the arc. A steep slope is the tolerance signal: each payoff has to outdo the last.
