Certified Page-Turner Moment
Let Me Love You
The Certified Page-Turner Moment came when Everett’s pursuit of Jo stopped feeling like flirtation and began feeling like a genuine promise. I will not spoil the scene, but the emotional honesty, protective energy, and vulnerability beneath Everett’s confidence made it clear that he was serious about becoming part of Jo’s life. Jo’s hesitation only made the tension stronger, and I knew I was not putting the book down until I found out whether she would finally allow herself to believe in the love he was offering.
