1: young love
This was one of the few books that I've missed reading for at least a few days after finishing it. In the final part of the book, it stretches the bounds of moral acceptance in the partnership-of-three idea, but it has characters who are presented as strong enough to support the premise in large. I hope you enjoy it too, but I would repeat that it requires an unusually forgiving forebearance for those unaccustomed to affection displayed in terms of unorthodox sexual pleasure, such as what the parents seemed to accept, in the story, as genuine. A credit to story writing, in itself. Good writing.

2: Awesome book, absolutely worth it
I loved this book from beginning to end. Chris Owen made his characters in this book completely come alive. It is well worth not only the money to buy it, but also a second and third read as well. 911 is an amazing and beautiful book.

3: 911 by Chris Owen
This is one of hottest manlove books I've ever read. And it's not just M/M. It's M/M/M. Yes, *three* sexy men in love, having sheet-scorching sex...not to mention a sweet, tender, and surprisingly believable three-way relationship. A fireman, a doctor, and an EMT. It just doesn't get any hotter than that. When you do read it, make sure you have a bucket of ice and a change of clothes handy. Better yet, find your own sexy fireman or doctor to play with. :)
Okay, enough about the sex. The sex is insanely hot, but what really stands out to me is the chemistry and the realistic presentation of a working threesome of men. It's rare for an author to be able to write a love story between three men that's not just erotic, but actually believable. This story makes me believe that such a relationship is entirely possible.
The men...ohhh, the men...they are strong, sexy, sensitive, and completely wonderful. I just can't find a negative word to describe this book or its characters.
I will definitely read this one again. It's a keeper. More brilliant M/M romance by Chris Owen.

4: Was Three a Crowd?
I am a fan of Chris Owen, so I could not wait to read 911. However, the addition of Eric to principle players (Drew and Scott) did not sit well with me. Chris did such a wonderful job in establishing the Drew (hot fireboy) and Scott (cute doctor) love story, that Eric's (sexy blond) addition seemed to take away from Drew and Scott. In fact, it seemed to become the Eric and Drew story, which made me sad. It wasn't until Drew was badly injured, that Scott's importance to Drew (and Eric) was acknowledged.
I'm not a prude, and have no issues with three-somes. However, I do feel that principle players need to be remembered. Author Sean Michaels is good in remembering principle players (Rock and Rig), even though they opened their hearts and home to a third ("Pretty", as he is called by Rig). Maybe the author was trying to portray that Drew, Scott, and Eric all loved equally, and I just didn't get it.
I gave the book 4 stars because of the set-up love story of Drew and Scott, but will be cautious of other three-somes by Chris.

5: Three = Perfection
There is a reason many cultures and religions use the number three to represent totality, balance, harmony. Chris Owen has written another powerful book in "911". As someone who has always believed strongly in polyamory, as a fundamental way to share the joy and strength that comes from truly loving, I found this story delightful and affirming. Each character grows throughout the book, opens up to the others to expose his own weaknesses, and learns to accept the unconditional love that still demands honesty. The end of the book seems rather rushed, but it also makes sense that the three men can actually tackle their final mutual challenge together, and quickly.
Unfortunately, Torquere Press seems to have a quality assurance problem. There are numerous typographical errors and even character slip-ups, which a careful editor or proofreader should have caught. So, the publishing knocks one star off - but Chris delivers a great read!
Thanks again!
