Earth Bound Fly Me to the Moon Book Three edition by Emma Barry Genevieve Turner Literature Fiction eBooks

This Fly Me to the Moon series by Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner has been an unexpected reading pleasure for me. Taking place in the early 1960s, the romance series features characters involved in the early space race to the moon. Most of the books have male astronauts and their love interests as the main characters and I have enjoyed STAR DUST and A MIDNIGHT FEAST about two of these couples and plan to read more.

This EARTHBOUND is my favorite so far. Eugene Parsons, who appeared as a secondary character in the other books I read, is our hero here. Parsons is an excellent engineer. He lives for his job coordinating, directing and keeping the space program on track and running as flawlessly as possible and he is demanding and abrupt and definitely not a people-pleaser. He is a perfectionist, as is of course necessary when you're sending men out into the great unknown, and expects perfection of his subordinates. Those he works with respect and fear him but do not like him. His character is developed well by the authors and the reader will grow to appreciate him more and more as the story progresses.

Enter new hire Dr. Charlie Eason. She's a brilliant and beautiful computer scientist, obviously the most competent addition to his team ever. But, of course, as a woman, she is not taken seriously by the good ol' boys of the space program. That's, of course, except for Parsons. He recognizes quality and extreme competence when he sees it. He also appreciates the fact that Charlie isn't cowed by him the way the others are and she gives as good as she gets.

The unfortunate side effect of working together is the strong sexual attraction that develops between them. When they finally act upon it, they decide it's just the scratching of an itch and must be kept compartmentalized. So what happens in the motel where they meet has no relevance to their work relationship.

Well, just keep reading to find out how well that works out. BTW, this is not just a romance. There are some relatively serious issues treated upon also: the role of and under-appreciation of women in space exploration, the relationship of scientists and astronauts in the program, pros and cons of the participation of private industry, and, all in all, a really splendid walk back in time to the 1960s. Although this particular space program is fictional, it bears a resemblance to the real one and shows that the authors have done their research. I'd suggest reading their Author's Notes at the end to round out your reading experience.

This is a good romance and a pleasant exploration of the past. (Well, at times not so pleasant as you may see that we women are still fighting that uphill battle for equality with men. But there has been a small step for womankind, I think.)

Earth Bound Fly Me to the Moon Book Three edition by Emma Barry Genevieve Turner Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

A romance for the nerd girls out there who are smart & confident & aren't afraid to ask for what we want... Even if we later find out that we were wrong.
I love that the couple in this romance are a computer scientist and and engineer. I love even more that they are realistically portrayed scientists, that their respective smarts form the lynchpin of their attraction, and that their sex is hot. Emma Barry and Genevieve Turner have done a great job at weaving period detail/culture/attitudes into their story--the overarching space-race plot had me hanging on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
Really cool historical with awesome and unusual characters. If you love a super smart heroine and a kind of broody, snappish hero, this is for you. The setting and scientific details are an awesome extra. Love love loved it, so happy to have found a new series.
A cool setting, different characters, people who care about something important, smart people. all add up to a compelling story. I need to read the rest in the series NOW!
I was a little kid when the Apollo missions were going into space. All of the books in the series are terrific but this one is by far my favorite. The research that went into it then is accurate and the characters... I love Parsons and Charlie. I can hardly wait for the next in the series.
I don't give 5 stars very often but this one was definitely worth it. The characters are likeable, very smart but complicated. What I really appreciated was that they really got to know each other, they also understood each other very deeply so I believed their HEA. The atmosphere was flawless, I could feel the tension of space race in the air. It was fun to learn something about it from another point of view, especially the women's side. I liked the first installment but this one is even better, I'm definitely looking forward to other books in the series.
It's been a while since I've enjoyed a romance this much. The romance and the 'mission' move at a steady pace and one never over-shadows the other. Neither will you feel lost with engineering and space terminology. The book well researched.

The characters are complex and REAL. They each have their reasons for acting the way they do. My personal favorite was the main character Parsons. I just wanted to give him a hug, I don't know how Charlie held out for so long.
Charlie did make me angry at times, she came off as too cold, but then I had to remind myself her position in the work-force and all that she was up against. Not too different from what women face today, for sure. A lot of women should be able to relate to her struggle.
