Laurel Scanlon has the gift of sight, an ability passed down to the eldest daughter of each generation. It is this gift—or curse, perhaps—that drove her own mother mad and has left Laurel unwilling to trust in love except in her dreams.
Anxious for a new beginning, she decides to retreat to Mimosa Grove, an old estate outside Bayou Jean, Louisiana. Mimosa Grove belongs to Laurel now, bequeathed by her maternal grandmother. Laurel feels the history and tragedy here, and amidst primeval beauty she senses something unfinished. Folks here know about her grandmother’ s gift and treat Laurel with the same reverence—especially when she is able to help the police find a missing girl. It is then that she sees Justin Bouvier—stranger, soul mate, the man who haunts her dreams.
But there is danger here in Mimosa Grove, not from the restless past, but from the deadly present. Laurel must be willing to trust her gift, her love for Justin and, most of all, herself, to stop tragedy and history from repeating themselves.

I haven't read a book other than a school textbook in a while and with now 2 small kids anything other than Dr. Seuss or the like seemed far fetched. I picked up this book the other day because of a Book Club on one of my online playgroup boards. I'm so pleased that I did. The story was intriguing from the very first page. Even while not reading it, I longed to pick it up to find out what was in store for the characters. I finished the book in a little over 24 hours. In fact, even after just finishing it, I'm thinking of picking it up and starting over again. I highly recommend this book. It's a very quick read and will keep you hooked from the very first page.

Until she inherited her grandmother's southern mansion, Laurel had never thought much of the other thing she inherited from her, the sight. It had brought her nothing but grief, driving her mother insane and leaving her in a lonely loveless world. Her only escape has been in dreams. Coming to Mimosa Grove, however, she finds her gift is welcomed by the residents. Still, there is something missing, a trace of the past lingers, a ghost perhaps? ................ Then one night, a child goes missing, and it is Laurel's vision that can guide her rescuers to the little girl. When Laurel meets the child's uncle, he is literally a dream come true. Before their dreams can become reality, present day nightmares merge with past ones to endanger Laurel and all she loves. .................. **** Whether she's Dinah McCall or Sharon Sala, this lady is a guaranteed fast paced, exciting read. Her use of ghosts and other eerie things is always delicately handled so that even those who want reality in their stories can find no flaw. Characters, human and non alike, are three dimensional and the setting itself has a personality. Pages will fly as you race to the end. ****

Laurel Scanlon has inherited the curse of sight, a maddening skill passed through matriarchal lines to the next generation¿s eldest female. Her father refuses to believe in this paranormal skill so the so-called gift sent her mother off the deep end as he really was not there for her or for that matter Laurel. To keep herself sane, Laurel avoids love, as she fears the outcome............................... Laurel inherits from her maternal grandmother Mimosa Grove, an aging estate near Bayou Jean, Louisiana. Seeing Mimosa Grove as a place to escape from the world, Laurel moves to the isolated somewhat run down estate. However, she fails to find peace here as she senses the tragic past, but fears her present and future more. The townsfolk know the skills of a female Scanlon especially when Laurel finds a missing child using her gift. However, Laurel is shook to her core when she realizes that the child¿s uncle Justin Bouvier is her soul mate at least in her dreams if she dares to reach out for love even as someone stalks her with obviously bad intentions in mind for her............................. This exciting paranormal romantic suspense stars a terrific lead protagonist who struggles between desire and fear of love. The story line is loaded with non-stop action, in some ways too much as the plot meanders with unnecessary twists. Because most of the audience fails to share Laurel¿s gift, fans will remain visiting MIMOSA GROVE until the end to see who stalks the heroine and whether Justin can overcome her relationship phobia.....................
