It was kind of hard to believe that he would stick around for five years, pining for Felix. Usually it doesn't even take them that long to move on from you, which just fuels the whole "I'm not good enough to be loved" tapes running through your head.
In my personal experience, no matter how "good" people are, run long and hard enough (no matter how reasonable that seems to you, because that is the only path you know when it comes to dealing with emotions) and they'll give up on you, without fail. Kade was a good character, but I felt that he was a little too forgiving and understanding. So it'd be rather hypocritical of me to say anything about that, since I am pretty much the same. And I can look back at my own (quite disastrous) relationship history and see, well, dang, I'm a runner too. And I.really relate to that, in so many ways. He was so afraid of rejection because that was all he had ever known at home. His whole life, Felix's powerful father had pretty much told him that he was worthless, so Felix had a hard time imagining that he WASN'T worthless.
Although this was definitely the case of "omg just sit down and TALK TO ONE ANOTHER FOR FIVE MINUTES and most (if not all) of your problems will be solved" trope (which usually annoys me), I actually kind of understood how it happened when it came to Felix. He felt guilty for his boyfriend's family's bankruptcy, which was fueled by his father, so he ran away to the city five years before, even though he loved Kade something fierce. I needed an infusion of angst and feels, and this book certainly delivered! Mpreg of any kind usually isn't my thing, but this book promised to be so full of tropey goodness and delicious angst, and it delivered on both of those promises, so I ended up being fine with the mpreg parts.
