April 3rd is a day of remembrance for both Melita and Alex. In their youth, both experienced trauma on this day; trauma that has changed them both forever. For Melita, a paranormal encounter steals her sight, leaving her practically blind. For Alex, the death of a loved one leaves his scarred and guilty.Hoping to escape their horrid memories for just one night, each one sets up a date through the Moonlight Dating service. The famed Jeneatte Lagrange is known for her expertise in matching couples. Each tells the matchmaker that they are looking for one night...just one night to remember, and maybe they can both forget what April 3rd has meant for them in the past.When Alex and Melita meet for their encounter, sparks fly and they discover that they have more in common than a simple attraction. Their chemistry is red hot, their connection almost instant. It would seem that the Moonlight Dating matchmaker knows better than they do just how suited they are for each other.This short read was an escape. There was a gothic sort of feel accomplished within the setting and mystery surrounding the paranormal elements as well. I didn't think this story would surprise me the way it would with it's huge twist a little more than halfway through. It made Melita and Alex's connection seem more real and in that moment I knew that it was about more than just good sex...these two needed each other to be healed. If Natalie G. Owens can do this one a short story, I can't wait to see what she can do with a full novel!**I was provided with a copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review.
