review 1: I tried to read this, stopped in a few pages, tried to read this, stopped in a few pages... The early hook with the dramatic scene into the past plot line drives me bonkers. It colored the story for me and let some of the initial romance down. That being said, I'm so glad I read the story. Once I got to a certain point the character's bond and the pain/drama they went through reached me and kept me reading. I've had a bit of a thing for military fiction lately, and this fit the bill, but by and far the story focused on Will and Mike. Domestic discipline stories aren't my usual fare when I read bdsm, but when in context with a loving relationship, it can work. The power dynamic always feels a bit... childish to me, though. But, it works for Mike and Will. It doesn't work fo... morer the supporting characters. Wow. I really felt for Will. He had no true support network, and the very beginning when we hear him say that no one will call him from the military because he isn't Mike's family was very telling. The fact that his friend didn't see through his ruse was telling. I am a big sick of the shrewish/evil/conniving chick character trope, but Casey was a character I'd love to bitch slap, again and again, so her behavior did get a reaction from me. Overall... smooth reading with a good story pull once you get into it. If you like DD style BDSM, military, hurt/comfort stories or any combo of the above, check out No Flag. I think you'll quite like it!
review 2: I liked the book but had a few problems with it. I generally immerse myself in books pretty easily, but I struggled with this one.I was fully on board with everything Will went through - the way he was thinking, his emotions, his point of view. I had full sympathy for the issues they were facing - the separation and the discrimination. But Mike, I couldn't really identify with. I could see his motivations, but everything seemed to be linked back to OCD or his role as a dominant, and I couldn't really feel the emotions behind them. The problems Will had with his friends, and the resolution, also seemed a bit abrupt. less
