Please Don't Go
Synopsis
Please Don't Go is a contemporary sports romance by E. Salvador and the first book in The Midnight Strike series. Josefine Resendiz is struggling with grief and feels stuck in place. Daniel Garcia is a gifted shortstop who covers his guilt and loss over his brother's death with charm and discipline.
The two meet by chance on Christmas Day, and as their paths keep crossing, their feelings grow. The novel asks what happens when love arrives before healing does. Readers describe it as a slow-burn, emotional and character-driven story with a low spice level. It began as a 2025 self-published paperback and was reissued by Atria/Primero Sueno Press in 2026.
How it reads
- The way two people deal with grief so differently yet find each other, help each other heal. I loved the mental health representation especially with our MMC, it’s so rare to see a man dealing with his feelings the way he was. I also recommend the audiobook if you enjoy them. Thank you @librofm for the ALC
- I'm surprised by how much I love this book. I don't know how I managed to finish the last 20% while I was ugly crying the whole time, but hey, I survived.. coming out with a new favorite book to add to my list. Mind you, I binge read it in one sitting. It felt like the right book at the right time.
- BEAUTIFUL
