Taylor's works include the "Immortal Secrets" series; "My Alpha Billionaire" about BDSM relationships; the "Masters of Desire" series which includes elements of the paranormal; and several stand-alone novels.[1] Her "Sloan Skye" series is written under the name Tami Dane.[1]
Reception
editIn a 2011 review of Blood of Eden, Publishers Weekly said that Taylor writing as Tami Dane "rejects the usual paranormal tropes without establishing any new ones", describing the story as "a crowded canvas that never achieves high adrenaline or page-turning tension".[2] Publishers Weekly found Blood of Dawn, the third novel in the series, "moderately entertaining" thanks to "a sympathetic lead and a handful of spirited supporting characters".[3]
