This was so wonderfully...oh how do I say this without making the book sound sappy sweet. It is delightful, fresh, and I was just happy to read it. There was no real angst...there was no sappy stuff, just a nice story about 3 best friends, 2 of which fall in love.

Childhood friends discover they are soul mates when they are attending university.

This is supposed to be a romance, but it is mostly a book about friendship and the romance part is quite smallish.

The Plus: It is actually the story of THREE boys, best friends, who grew up together and preserve the deep bond of friendship through the years. The story goes from the kindergarten years to university years. Two of them will end up being in love with each other and will have their happy end. The thir...more

This was a sweet story, and I enjoyed reading it. My rating reflects my personal preference for a higher level of intensity (both sexual and emotional), which this didn't meet. It's a very atypical Chris Owen book in that respect.

Without question it is the most unique take on the friends to lovers trope I've yet encountered.

Silas and Warren meet in preschool. They're basically enemies until 4th grade when they're finally placed in separate classes. They don't actually become friends until after a new boy, Talbot, moves to town when they're all in junior high. Warren is being bullied in the hallway, Silas and Talbot help him and just like that the three musketeers are created.

The characters in this book are all amazingly real. Each of the boys is different, has a different personality, different goals, different interests, yet they're all so vivid and so real. And Olivia! LOVE her!

What made this different from every other friends-to-lovers story I've read is that it was basically backwards. the traditional approach has the friends suddenly discovering an attraction, possibly acting on it, and then reacting to their new emotions until they eventually realize they're in love.

This one has the boys realize they're in love (at vastly different points in their lives, but still, they both do realize it) but wait to act on anything until they're sure that they're ready and at a point in their lives where they can devote adequate attention to a relationship as important as they know theirs will be. I loved that they respected each other and their friendship enough to be willing to do that.

I loved how Silas was able to do for Warren exactly the things he needed to feel loved without coming across as either manipulative or smothering.

I loved how Warren realized he wasn't ready for a relationship with Silas, no matter how much he loved him, and that it would be selfish to keep him from having relationships with other people in the meantime. However, this is what kept this from getting 5 stars for me. I know Silas didn't do it on purpose, because he had no idea how he or Warren felt, but most of this book felt like I was on the outside with Warren watching Silas flaunt his boyfriends for so many years. It made most of the book not very fun to read, always waiting for them to finally get to be happy instead of getting to actually see them be happy.

And I do like that the book ends with them on their way to being together and HEA, but I would have liked to have seen more of that part and less of the tortuous (and sometimes torturous) journey toward that point.(less)

It’s short and easy to read in one sitting, but the romantic connection never really worked for me. I like the slow build up and the extensive background information on all the characters. I like the use of the third best friend and his gf quite a bit but overall the main romantic connection felt more like an afterthought and awkward than real and important. I still enjoyed reading this story for a number of reasons but never really bought into the late added romance.

The story starts with how the three boys became best friends. It shows how Warren and Silas competed, annoyed, and flattered each other before finally bonding when Tal shows up on the scene. The three boys become inseparable as well as having relationships and interests that are unique to them. Their individual personalities emerge, as well as various relationships and hookups, but the three friends seem to navigate this with ease. Until the day Tal and Silas decide to force Warren out of the closet and Silas realizes he’s been in love with Warren all along.

The friends to lovers theme is very familiar and popular for good reasons. In this case, the story does an excellent job of showing the friends aspect. We see incredibly adorable scenes of the boys when they’re young, exploring the world and wanting adventures. These continue into high school and college as the three men find their places while still maintaining their close friendship. In fact this is more a story about friendship than anything else. Best friends Tal, Silas, and Warren understand each other, respect each other, and ultimately love each for the people they are.

In just about every way this is a very accepting story. There is zero angst from parents or friends about Silas and Warren being gay. In fact Silas comes out in high school and becomes a local hero/spokesperson. There is in fact very little tension anywhere in the story. That’s ok because the slow pace of the story fits with the evolution of the three men’s lives. Where the story definitely starts to stumble is pairing Warren and Silas up so late in the story. By then, most of the story had been told and the remaining tension keeping these two apart feels silly and manufactured.

Warren especially left me cold with his focused attention on his studies and assuming that Silas will wait for him and eventually they’ll be together. On the one hand, this fits with Warren’s very cold and rational intellect. Yet on the other it makes no sense to assume that Silas wouldn’t find someone else in the meantime (a very real possibility). I thought the whole romance was awkward, forced, and very slow. It just didn’t fit the story in my opinion. Although I was definitely charmed by the various characters and wanted them to find happiness, I just couldn’t really see Warren and Silas together as the main romance.

Other than that, the story is pretty enjoyable to read. It has a slower pace with numerous obvious editing mistakes (if that kind of thing annoys you). Yet watching these three boys and their friendship develop is lovely. As a novella about the strength and power of friendship, this story definitely wins. The romance aspect didn’t work at all for me but I’m still glad I read this.

I LOVED this book. I finished with a dreamy sigh and wanted to start over. There were several scenes that shined.

The things I loved about this book:

The love felt real. It built and took you along for the ride. As the reader, I fell in love with the characters as they fell in love with each other.

Also, the friendship between the three men is fantastic. It felt ‘manly’ and yet, was emotional too. A perfect blend.

I do also love that there was very little angst (I’m a big fan of angst, normally) and...more

.
There were no wasted characters, not even random names mentioned. Everyone had a role in moving the plot forward and creating dynamic characters. Even Tal, who in many ways could be mistakenly viewed as a third wheel to Silas and Warren's romantic relationship was integral to the story.
.
I felt good reading this book. I felt like I was getting to know these three lovely boys and watching them grow up to become lovely men. I was happy for them and the places they were going. The story spans 17 years, from when the Warren and Silas are 5. In middle school Tal comes along and the trio become inseparable. While it covered a lot of time, the book wasn't particularly long, but I never felt like anything was missed. All of the important moments were hit, all of the characters fully developed. And, unlike a lot of romances, everything seemed plausible. I love how the three boys' personalities balanced each other out.
.
The sex scenes were graphic without being crude, were integral to the plot, and were creatively executed. Let me explain what I mean by that: too many times the sex scenes in M/M fiction follow a basic formula, repeated with each encounter. Ms. Owen explored different aspects of physical intimacy, paying as much attention to a brain-melting kiss or frottage as to actual intercourse. And none of it was gratuitous or over-the-top.
.
The only criticism I have deals with the pacing of the story when Warren and Silas realize that their love was different than the "just friends" love they shared with Tal. I think the time between the "I wonder if" to the declarations of love went too fast. I would have liked a little more build up to the declaration, even a bit more soul-searching, particularly by Warren. Silas's leap from "love" to "IN LOVE" actually fit well with his personality. Warren, however quiet and private he kept his thoughts, was a little too abrupt in his declaration.
.
I've only read one other book by Ms. Owen--Bareback--which was fabulous, emotionally draining, and downright painful--and while this book had the same quality writing, the feel of it was lighter, more positive. It's clear that Ms. Owen is a master at building authentic, relatable relationships and I know I'm going to be checking out some of her other works.
.
This is totally a 4.5 star book! I absolutely recommend it to others(less)

This was great! The book has a lot going for it, at least as far as Kate's Particular Romance Sweet Spots go. These are: a) It's a childhood-friends-to-lovers story. I'm a total sucker for that trope, and it was done very well here. b) The pairing is a variation on what I think of as The Rogue and the Bluestocking. So we've got Silas, a larger-than-life, out-and-proud energetic, outgoing guy who can have any man he wants; and we've got Warren, a quiet, studious guy who is not in the closet but k...more

I've read many childhood-friends-become-gay-lovers stories. A lot. And this one still blew me away in many fronts. In its sweetness--not in a sappy way, but in romantic way. The friendships. Not only between the lovers, but also among the three main characters. (So happy the author didn't make the three men love each other and engage in menage). The persistence. Not in stalking-kind, but in commitment-way.

I loved the movie watching in the garage and the references to Stand By Me. (a favorite movie of mine) I loved how the boys interacted together and one on one. I also really liked Olivia!

I adore the Bareback series. Bareback was 'heavy' for me, this felt 'light'. I saw the friendship however I didnt see the change that led from love to in-love. It almost felt like because they were gay they were to be together. However, I did enjoy the book. I really like the friendship between the three boys/men and how they related to one another.

Plot: The story is a gentle meandering tale of three boys who become friends at school. One, Tal, is very definitely straight, one, Silas, very definitely gay and the third, Warren, just not interested in anything other than his studies. The story follows the boys through their years together and finishes during their final year of College. There's romance but it's a very gradual one which takes an unusual angle. Often in m/m books there's attraction, lust and finally love. In Prove It, the love comes first: firstly the love of strongly bonded male friendship and then much more as Silas comes to realise he's in love with Warren and sets out to prove his love. I liked this approach and it made the book one of the more effective friends to lovers stories that I've read.

Characters: Although the romance aspect is strong, especially towards the end, the fun of this story for me is in the relationships between the three friends. They all have very distinct personalities and yet complement each other completely. There's lots of banter and joking around, but also some serious discussions. Another plus for me was in the strong supporting female characters, especially Warren's mother and Tal's girlfriend, Olivia. These women are a real showcase as to how to get a female character right in an m/m book. Both are positive and affirming but also willing to offer advice without every crossing that line into interfering. There's a warm humour which infuses the story, mostly in the characters of Silas and Tal whose quick wit and vivacious personalities bring out the fun in the very serious Warren. I really liked these guys.

Overall: The way that the story is quite slow moving and mostly character based may not appeal to everyone, but I was charmed by the story and the characters. It was one of those books that caught me quickly and I was so engrossed I didn't notice the time passing. There's a realism in the way the characters behave and it's just as much a coming of age story, especially for Warren, as it is a romance. In fact the only niggle I had was that I wished the story had been a little longer. There's a satisfying epilogue, but the romantic relationship between Warren and Silas is only really getting going when the book ends and I wanted more! I get the feeling I'll be reading this book again when I'm in the mood for reading something that makes me smile and which reminds me how good m/m romance can be. (less)

Really liked the feel and flow of Prove It. As other reviewers have mentioned, this book doesn't "feel" like a typical Chris Owen (xxx rated) read. That being said, it's a lovely coming of age and friends to lovers story done beautifully. Some readers were put off by Warren's attitude (viewed as coldness) toward sex but I found it to be more of a male perspective and a nice change from the sweet (sometimes saccharine) tone often taken to describe young love.

Prove It starts with Warren and Silas meeting when they're five years old. Warren is a very serious little guy who likes things to happen the way they should. So Silas who is impulsive and hyper and kind of all over the place definitely rubs him the wrong way. Silas is a charmer though and everyone loves him, everyone except Warren. And things are like this until junior high, when Tal enters the picture. He gets along with both guys and eventually all 3 hang out. Then high school hits and Silas realizes he's gay. Since he's everyone's favorite, it's not really a big deal to their classmates and everyone accepts it. Everyone figures Warren's a late bloomer, but Warren knows that as the class nerd, if he came out, it wouldn't be all smiles and rainbows for him, so he just concentrates on his school work and looks forward to college, where he can be who he is. And for those wondering, Tal is straight.

College rolls around and the three Musketeers are all going to the same school. Silas is out, reviving the GSA club, Tal is going through the female students like candy and Warren is still Warren. He has lovers but he keeps his love life extremely private, not even revealing to Tal and Silas that he's gay. But they know, and on his 21st birthday, they have a little intervention. LOL They want Warren to tell them the truth. I thought it was a touching scene that showed how all 3 cared for each other.

Warren sighed and drank beer. "It's a lot easier to just stay quiet," he finally said. "No one ever asks, no one expects anything. I'm not very good with people, you guys. No one questions anything when I don't bring a date to parties -- or even when I don't go to parties. I'm just that nerdy book guy with the good grades. It's all fine with me."
"We're not just rabble, though, are we?" Tal asked softly. "We're the guys who've had your back for years. We're the ones you can tell, and the ones you should tell. I know you just haven't gotten around to it and you're probably intending to do it when you finally need to, like when the right person comes along and is important enough for you to care about. But you know what? It's okay to say something before that. And it's important to, so you're, like, a whole person or some shit like that."
Warren was looking at the bottle in his hands, his face serious. Silas couldn't see his eyes, but he knew the look; Warren was thinking hard, planning what to say. "Warren." Silas moved, intending only to sit on the edge of the roommate's bed but somehow crossing the room to sit next to Warren. "Warren. Do you trust me?"
"Of course." Warren's head snapped up. "Of course I do."
"Talk to me." Silas resisted the urge to actually hold Warren's hand.
Warren stared at him, his eyes huge. "But you know."
"Say it." From experience, Silas knew it made a difference, at least the first few times.
Warren swallowed, not looking away from him. Tal's chair creaked. "I won't be out getting any girls pregnant," he said. "I'm gay."
Silas grinned at him, his whole body going warm. "Good job." Then he leaned forward and kissed Warren's mouth. "Well done."
Tal made a gagging sound and started to laugh. Warren blinked at him a few times, looking stunned. "You kissed me."
Silas nodded and moved back to the other bed. "I give rewards." His knees were weak and he tried not to show it.

I love these guys!

But what totally got me was when Tal brings the whole 'intervention' idea up to Silas, he casually mentions Warren having relations with some faceless guy and that really bothers Silas. At first he thinks he's just feeling protective of Warren. He thinks Warren should be with someone who loves him. But we the reader know Silas is totally jealous. And even after Warren comes out, he refuses to divulge who he has slept with and who he is currently sleeping with. This drives Silas crazy! I ate it up because I love jealous heroes.

Prove It was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I liked that we see how we see the characters starting from when they're five years old all the way to their college years. I love when Silas starts to see Warren in a different light. The books gets very interesting after their little intervention, but I won't spoil it for you. Just know that it's good.(less)

I'm a big fan of Chris Owen's work. There isn't a story out there that I haven't bought or enjoyed. PROVE IT was a little different than her usual style. Although the writing was strong, and the characters were very likeable, it was so far outside of the kind of story I'm used to reading from her that I just couldn't get into it. Rather than the adult romance I was expecting, PROVE IT very much felt like a coming of age story. There's nothing wrong with that; it simply isn't my cup of tea.

The romance was definately tentative, but I appreciated the time it took for this aspect of the story to move forward and I enjoyed seeing the love start to bloom. An enjoyable read!

I liked the friends-to-lovers plot, though I'm not quite sure that the device of having a 3rd (or 4th person) explain relationship truths to the h/h really worked because (a) it's sort of awkward unless yes, they're very very close and have been a spectator to all your relationships and (b) it would have been more satisfying if the h/h had worked it out for themselves.

I did like the writing and would read more by Chris Owen.

This book hovewer shows innocent love among young people. It's not their first love and not their first sex experience, but it's the first TRUE love, love that grew for years, love that demanded sacrifices, love that set fundation for being together 'till death do us apart'.

It's funny how much I identified with Warren in this book, especially who he was in high school: the smart, book-worm, theater-geek who had friends, but who was never paid any special attention by guys or girls. I really enjoyed the triangle friendship of Warren, Silas and Tal. Each one was well-written, and their relationships well-defined. Another new-to-me author I'll definitely check out again.
