I was really excited to get my hands on No Flag and read another story by Liz Borino.  While M/M isn't my go-to genre, Liz Borino has written stories, that I wouldn't care if the characters were aliens or purple~people~eaters (sorry it's Halloween music time), I would still have enjoyed this book just at thoroughly.In No Flag, Mike and Will struggle at first with their 'alternative' lifestyle together, then they have to deal with Mike being deployed and the injury that arises.  There are so many conflicts that are realistic and something that so many people have to contend with on a daily basis that I was sucked into their relationship and struggles with all my heart and every emotion Mike and Will faced, I could feel within myself.I love their commitment of 'No Flag' while I know there is never a guarantee with our military the use of the phrase 'No Flag' gives a visual to the reader that may either make you smile when you read it or bring tears to your eyes ~ or may do both at different points of the story!While a strong man in his own right, Will enjoys the domestic discipline that Mike instills in their relationship, and it is interesting to read how they handle that part of their relationship while Mike is away and after Mike returns from his last tour of duty.  Mike is used to being in control and the range of emotions that Liz Borino gives us after Mike returns will keep you turning the pages of this story well into the early hours of the morning.I admit, I started this story while taking a break from work, and well didn't get back to work until I finished.  Thankfully, I work from home, so I didn't get fired for my addiction to a good book!  Definitely a recommended read for any reader that wants an indepth story that is full of emotion, conflict, resolution and will probably leave you with a book hangover and maybe even more appreciation for the men and women who sever in the military.
