Dark Vortex: Box Set Kindle Edition
Four smoking-hot, interlocking stories of over-protective alpha males.
Jack desperately needs to mate with a powerful witch and Zoe's the perfect match except for one flaw. She never learned the ancient art of magical foreplay. He's got one week to train her or he dies, along with everyone he cares about.
Zoe doesn't believe in magic. It's all harmless fun until a sexy-as-sin warrior collapses at her feet and ignites her like no other. Now, she has seven days to turn him on.
Is there a place for love in this magical world or will it destroy them both?
Warning: Passionate scenes. Four happily-ever-afters guaranteed.
Note: Reedited version.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2016This was an exciting one. I read a lot of romance books and the genre is so full of cliches and stock scenes - even in paranormal romance. It's refreshing to read a story that has none of those things, a story that tackles new circumstances and subjects.
Jack is the leader of his clan of witches - but he is being threatened. The only way he can defeat his challenger is to mate with an equally powerful witch and obtain her power as well. Mate - not marry. As if pointed out many times, it's about sex, not love. And that's okay with Jack because he doesn't ever want to fall in love again.
Enter Zoe, a witch who knows nothing of her own power or the dangerous world she's been thrown into. From the moment he sees her, Jack knows she's the one. Only, she wants more than sex, more than he's willing to give. Add in the danger they face at every turn, and you've got yourself a wild ride.
I'll admit, I wasn't a huge fan of Jack. He was a little too alpha for me, but I realize that's what the story called for. There was no way his character could be different. His actions fit him. So it didn't make me like this book any less. Especially because Zoe was such a strong character. Many times, we see women in these books look week when going up against a strong man. Not so here. Zoe doesn't give in to him, even when she probably should. She has a tragic past that only makes her stronger and she knows what she wants and doesn't want. She's easy to root for.
Basically, if you have even an iota of affection for paranormal romance stories, you want to give this one a chance.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2023This series was amazing. Full of drama, magic, action, adventure, steamy and romance with alpha heroes and sassy heroines. I love how all the stories fit together.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 20194 books into one compilation and what a rush! All the stories follow in time sequence so no large gaps and questionable events. Mated by Magic is worth reading to absorb that bit of romance, humor, action and drama. First story is Olivia’s Cousin, Zoe Owens & Jack Fialko and we get to read about Olivia Harding whose is the last story of this 4-book read. We find out Zoe is skeptical and clueless about magic and witches. Book 2 continues with youngest Fialko brother getting mated, Jace to earth witch Terra and he helps get her out of trouble. Third book is the eldest Fialko and our beloved heartbroken widower John who goes on vacation and meets his fated mate, water witch Maya O’Connell. Last book is healer Olivia and as tradition dictates causes her fated mate Native American Mohegan to appear by magic. Of course the chemistry and intensity is off the charts as these two battle then embrace their lust spell. Mohegan has secrets that he shares with Olivia that disturb Olivia. All four stories battle evil in some form that grasp and holds the attention even around the sexy parts. All have their HEA and as you progress from the first story the next story is simply a continuation. Complete with the same previously introduced characters. I like it best to read in order. It makes the story flow smoother.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023I absolutely loved this series and read the entire boxset in two days!! It had me hooked from beginning to end and I couldn’t wait to find out how everything ends!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018This volume contains 3 books, one for each of the Fialko brothers.
Dark Vortex: This is Jack and Zoe's book (the one mentioned in the blurb). Zoe has no clue about her magical heritage, while Jack is the leader of his clan. The solstice mating idea is interesting, though I'm not sure I could get a real handle on the rules. This story also had a lot of jumps where going from one chapter to the next felt jarring (I actually thought I was missing a section at times). I can't say as though I particularly liked Jack and Zoe together, they have so many communication issues (I hate it when a lack of communication is the driving force for conflict between the MCs) and honestly I never felt that they matched very well. He comes across as too domineering (I really like Alpha/take charge males) and she alternated between a doormat and too stubborn.
Dark Tremor: This is Jace and Terra's book. I liked their story okay, probably my favorite of the three stories. But even it was a bit rough at times. I think there was a better connection between the MCs in this book. There are a lot of secrets, but given their backgrounds I could buy into a bit more. I can't say as though I was happy about the lead up to Josh's book be such a key point in this story (if anything it didn't really make me look forward to the last story).
Dark Tide: After what happened to Josh in Jace's story (trying not to be too spoilery here) I can't say as though I was looking forward to this story. The story as a whole is okay, but I almost felt like there was too much going on for the length of the story.
Overall, the premise for the stories is good, but I think it needed a bit more world-building to really come across as amazing. Also, I felt like there were times where the flow or consistency between the three stories just didn't quite work for me.
I received an ARC edition of this book from the author.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020I first read this series before the set came out, the characters are amazing, the action, adventure, love, and excitement pulls you in and surrounds you with witches, magic, and danger. I also got the audiobook and the narrator totally brought the magic to life. A must read for anyone who loves magic.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017It was new and different to me . I read it quickly. I only gave it four stars because I think the author rushed it a bit at the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read.
I enjoyed this series, getting lost in their world was a great distraction. I love the female main characters more than the alpha males, they had more substance and were easy to love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic
What a totally exciting read!! I just absolutely loved it from beginning to end!!
Excellent boxset, kept me glued to each one, some unexpected things happened, that just kept you glued to each character as they practice their magic. Each book builds on the characters. The women are strong and sassy and the men are demanding and protective. They will keep you hanging on for what they will do next, especially when they are their love ones are threatened. A definite must read! Happy Reading!!!! 😃
