Izhima (Kirenai Fated Mates
Bethany
My cooking show’s ratings are the pits, and my producers are threatening to take it off the air. When my sister wins tickets to an alien space cruise, I think I’ve found the the world is in love with aliens right now, so why not use alien chefs as guests? Except when I set up my first interview, the frustratingly handsome alien chef can’t even get my birthday cake right.
Izhima
I’m not a people person. I’m a food person. And I just want to be left alone to cook. But when a human female barges into my kitchen and tries to sabotage my latest recipe, she ends up ejecting us both out of the airlock. Now I have to risk my own life to get the unconscious woman to safety.
But when the human wakes up with amnesia and the dirtbag crew of a salvage ship starts eyeing her in unsavory ways, I have to convince everyone—including the female herself—that she’s my mate…

This was such a fun read and a fab finale for the series. The Bloom sisters have a knack for finding trouble and, thankfully, they each end up with a mate that's very protective ;) Bethany's story is highly entertaining and runs with humour, adventure and a sort of enemies to lovers vibe. I really enjoyed this entertaining read, well the whole series, actually, and look forward to what's next by this author :D

Such a fantastic story! Bethany is an exciting character. You never know what she’s going to do or say! Her impulsiveness is what propels this book. Izhima starts off as a kind of cold fish kind of guy, and they really don’t get along. As the story progresses and she keeps getting them into jams that he keeps saving her from, they develop this connection. I was intrigued by the bug alien on the first garbage ship, like, how does she end up and what was the thing with a tail that Bethany saw on that ship anyway? Could the thing living under the sink be the captain’s baby? Lol, I almost got derailed while reading it just trying to figure those things out. I loved how he kept thinking of ways of protecting her, even when he wasn’t sure that he really liked her. I’ve read a few books in this series, but not in order, and I enjoyed them all. I think I liked this one best just because of Bethany’s impulsivity, I may suffer from the same mental issue, lol. I received a free ARC of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a very enjoyable, entertaining Sci-Fi alien romance & best of all it can easily stand on its own even though it is the seventh book in the series. The plot is quite intriguing with some interesting situations. The well-developed characters have quite complex personalities & portray believable emotional feelings.
It is about: a human female (Bethany) trying to resurrect her career makes a very unwise decision to confront an alien chief (Izhima) and somehow manages to toss them both out of an airlock. Izhima & Bethany get rescued by a salvage ship but their problems are only going to get worse.
There is: Beth’s sisters (Jennifer, Tamara & Suzanne), various kinds of aliens, action, adventure, drama, twists & turns, intrigue, suspense, emotional turmoil, misunderstandings, complications, trust issues, danger, mild violence/conflict, compromises, some steam & a well-deserved happy conclusion.

December 28, 2022This is the last story about the Bloom sister's that is about Bethany who has a cooking show and her romantic adventures with Izhima who's a renowned Nebula chef on the Romantasy. This enjoyable story was a shorter version in the "Claimed Among the Stars" anthology. Bethany has been warned her show might be cancelled so when her sister won a trip on the space cruise, she came up the idea to boost ratings to film on the cruise a birthday party and the alien chef preparing the meal. Bethany sneaks into the kitchen catching the chef making the birthday cake but when she sees the disaster he made, she hits the garbage chute, and they get sucked into space. Izhima encloses her in his matrix to save her until they're picked up by scavengers. What occurs is an enjoyable and engaging story that I received via the author and that I volunteer to read and review.

Sweet, swoony alien romance with some light danger
I loved Bethany and Izhima’s story. The story included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters, and an engaging storyline. Bethany is a human woman who agrees to go on a space cruise with her three sisters in order to get video for a demo of an alien cooking show. Izhima is an alien and a chef on the cruise. There first meeting is angry words followed by accidentally being jettisoned into space together. Once they are forced to spend time together and rely on each other to stay alive after they are picked up by a scavenger ship, the fact that they are mates becomes apparent. The story included sweet moments, steamy scenes, quirky characters, light danger, good world building, and love. I have really enjoyed this whole series.

Frenemies, pirates, and cake
Izhima the Kirenai chef and Bethany the human food network star cross forks the minute they meet - over a birthday cake, no less. Bethany’s huffy exit from the kitchen throws them out of sn airlock, and into the clutches of garbage scow scavengers. The two take turns saving each others’ bacon, and fighting off a growing love, until rescue arrives. The sweet as cotton candy ending is a quadruple HEA for all four Kirenai males and the Bloom sisters they mate. It’s a little crazy, a lot steamy, and a great conclusion to the Kirenai Fated Mates cruise story.

Bethany is on the alien cruise Romantasy with her sisters and she decides that using an alien chef would help her ratings on her cooking show. Then when she "accidently" hits the airlock button, they are ejected. This is where the fun begins. They are first picked up by a salvage ship where the crew is very slimy but at least they are safe if they cook for the crew. Bethany has amnesia and Izhima tells her they are mates for their safety. When they are jettisoned off that salvage ship, they are picked up by a much safer ship and brought back to the Romantasy. During their difficult times together, they find love and a very happy ending.

Danger & Romance
Finally, the last Bloom sister’s story! The Bloom women sure know how to get into trouble, so it’s a good thing each one has had a hunky guy with them willing to protect and defend. You will enjoy the crazy progression of misunderstandings that land Bethany and Izhima in deadly trouble. But thankfully Tamsin always gives us a happy ending!

What a sweet ending to this series! Though I loved each of the other stories, this one’s my favourite. Bethany and Izhima make the the most beautiful couple. There’s lots of love, and loving, as well as a tiff or two. And there are so many different kinds of aliens. Some good, some not so much. Izhima keeps Bethany safe from all threats to life and limb. This was a pleasure to read from the first page to the end!

I’ve really enjoyed the Kirenai Fated Mates series…
When Bethany sneaks into the kitchen onboard the Intergalactic cruise ship in order to see Chef Izhima, she sets off a series of life altering events. I’m a sucker for a good HEA and this one left me with a big smile on my face… I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.

Fantastic Ending
This book was a great way to end an exciting and romantic series. I adored all of the Bloom sisters and Bethany’s book was just as addictive as the others. I thought Izhima was a real hero, he did everything he could to protect the brat he fell in love with. Bethany grew on me. The story was fast paced with great world building,action and steam.

A little different but of course they had to go through some danger too, all because Bethany is stupid.
I guess it was a nice end to a series of super short no stories, where aliens and human women fall in instalove and have sex almost immediately.
Kinda wanted to know more about Tamara and the babies.

I think Izhima went beyond in his protection of Beth. Due to her ignorance and impatience, she had them both put in danger, but he stepped up and made sure she was safe and looked after. Good thing she recognized his chivalrous nature before it was too late.

Bethany was beyond annoying

The time line was off to me. How do the sisters know she is showing someone how to make a cake if she goes missing the night before?
