Since I love anything paranormal, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Since I live in Louisiana myself, I was naturally drawn into it from the first page, interested in seeing if the author's depiction of the people here was accurate (it was!). If you're interested in ghosts, psychics, mysteries and love, this is definately for you.

This is the first book I've read by Dinah McCall, and I enjoyed her writing style and the story. Mimosa Grove is full of action and emotion, with good character development and vivid imagery. I didn't want to put the book down.
It's the story of a woman with inherited psychic ability, the rejection, acceptance and fate that she and her gifted ancestors endured because of their abilities. Most of the story is set in Louisiana, at a beautiful old ancestral estate. The story includes love, lifesaving, suffering, murder and ghostly mystery. It's a nice book selection for a reader openminded to the sixth sense.

Interesting. The "gift" of sight, passed down through generations. Ghosts, spirits, family secrets, and, of course, love. Laurel Scanlon has the gift of sight, inherited through her mother's side of the family. Her father is a no nonsense type who is not a believer. When Laurel's grandmother dies, she inherits her home so leaves DC to move to the deep south and start over. She had been dreaming of a man and finds that he is real and has been dreaming of her, as well. Politics, kidnapping, attempted murder. Fast moving. Good characters.

I picked up this Dinah McCall book because the cover looked intriguing and found it to be just that. I'm not usually that lucky when grabbing a new author off of the bookstore shelves.
This is the story of Laurel Scanlon who has the gift of sight. This ability was passed down to the oldest daughter in each generation. Laurel's mother was driven crazy by it and this gift has left Laurel uneasy. The man in her life had left because he couldn't accept her "difference". So now she doesn't trust anyone. And her heart is given to a man who has been in her dreams for four months, she figures it's safer that way.
When her maternal grandmother leaves her Mimosa Grove, a beautiful but run down home outside Bayou Jean, Louisiana, she moves there deciding that a new beginning is just what she needs. She tries to keep to herself, but that's nearly impossible. The townsfolk are thrilled that another "sighted one" has arrived and many come bearing tales of how her grandmother had helped them which puts her at ease a bit.
When a child is lost, Laurel uses her gift to help the rescuers find her. She figures everyone will now shun her, but just the opposite happens. The child's uncle, Justin Bouvier, comes to Mimosa Grove to personally thank Laurel for her help. Laurel is shocked, as this is the man who comes to her in her dreams.
The tale continues with Justin trying to remove the wall Laurel has built around her heart, while trying to protect her from the dangers lurking at Mimosa Grove.
This is a typical romantic mystery but what has it surpass many others on the market is McCall's vivid imagery and wonderful character development. Her characters range from the beautiful, haunted, Laurel; to ruggedly handsome, Justin; to a variety of unique townsfolk; and Marie, an aging housekeeper who is more of a nanny than maid. My favorite scenes are when Tule and Marie get together - they are hilarious! You'll laugh at the antics of some of these characters, which is part of the fun in reading Mimosa Grove.
MIMOSA GROVE is a bit predictable, but so enjoyable that you'll easily overlook the minor flaws. This story definitely put this author on my MUST READ list with this name and her real name of Sharon Sala.

First McCall book I've read. Really good.
This supernatural romance follows a young woman who is blessed (or cursed) by Second Sight. When she learns that her grandmother has died and left her the family's 200-year-old home in Louisiana, she makes a final break with her father and returns there.
It doesn't take long for the Sight to find her again. She is quickly thrust into the search for a missing child, and meets the flesh-and-blood man who has haunted her dreams. There's also a ghost story weaving around the edges, plus a suspense thread as elements from her father's life reach out to threaten her.
Interesting book, but McCall loses points for a couple of things â the âsuspenseâ aspect is never really developed, and there's no sense of danger, emphasized by the facile way in which McCall eliminates most of the threats. She also never explains where Laurel Scanlon â a woman who has apparently never worked a salaried job â is getting the money to rehabilitate the disintegrating 1814 plantation house she has inherited. And â okay, this is an extremely personal and picky item â at one point she has a character returning to her tiny home town in Oregon â population 756 â and arriving at her parents' home by taxi. Trust me -- rural Oregon villages of 700 people do not have taxi services.
Combined, these niggling shortcomings dropped my rating from a B+ to a C+. Still an enjoyable read, but it could have been much better.
