Sadly, I couldn't bring myself to like either Anderson or Crew💔 I'm a giant softie so of course I felt for Crew anytime he was let down by his parents and his loneliness was portrayed really well, I thought, and without spoiling anything, I will say that the irony was a nice touch👀 But everything else😭... I have to admit that I'm ECSTATIC that we got to experience a very deeply emotional and poweful scene with Knox near the end. No spoiler but, Knox, I love ya 4 ever. So in the end I'm just gonna say that if you are looking for a story filled with love, lust, true friendship and angst, so much angst... Illicit Desires is your story! Saying goodbye is always bittersweet sorrow. I enjoyed reading this series. I have zero triggers and hardly read trigger warnings. I know going in is fiction. But you always have that one book that seems real and opens old wounds. Illicit Desires was that book for me. The moment one has a thought about having illicit sex, he is headed for a life in the animal kingdom. One thinks in his mind, ‘What is possibly going to happen to me?’ And that is why people do not have any fear. But this world is a factory of fear, therefore be careful when you tread. This is a dangerous era of moral and spiritual decline. Day by day, the time is continuing to degrade; thoughts and everything else will continue to go bad. Therefore, if you talk about going to moksha, then you will get somewhere. That is why wise men practiced brahmacharya and got out of it by attaining liberation. Those who steal the chastity of a woman become worthy of a life in hell

The only reason I was annoyed with him is because he waited to break up with her literally the last second, when Crew realized what was going on. No I don't think Anderson is a cheater or sth. What I think is that he's too kind for his own good. I mean..the man didn't talk to his girlfriend earlier because he waited for the right moment. Smh 🙄 I won't lie, I could have looked past a couple of things if that intensity was there and I could have actually felt that sympathy or anything, really, but I didn't and now I'm afraid to try the books before this😥 Just like in the previous books, friendship is as important as the relationship between the main characters, and it's something I really liked. The affection these characters share warned me.For the one who has already taken on this grave liability by participating in illicit sex, but wants to come out of this grave liability, there is a way out. Through the heart-felt confession of the mistake ( alochana) to a living Gnani Purush. A Gnani Purush is completely pure in all the way and is completely free from sexuality. Furthermore, He has no selfish interests or motives behind helping you to come out of your mistakes. Therefore, you can rest assured that He never discloses anything to anyone else. Only a living Gnani Purush can show you the way out, but you have to have a clear mind, be truly repentant and have an unshakeable conviction that you will never repeat your mistake again. Nature has accepted the relation between a husband and a wife. There is no problem if this relationship does not give rise to desires for illicit sexual gratification. Nature has made that much allowance. If you are living a married life, you may indulge in sex that is rightfully yours but you should never even think about that which is not yours, because the consequences of illicit sex are very grave. It is inhuman to take what is not rightfully yours, to wish for what is not rightfully yours and to wish for sex that is not rightfully yours. Should there not be a line of demarcation between what is rightfully yours and what is not? You should never cross that line and commit adultery in marriage. Still, people have crossed that line, have they not? That is called beastliness. There is no problem in enjoying what is rightfully yours. Unknown Facts about Illicit Sex and Adultery in Marriage:

This being about dudes in college, I expected some immaturity and a little stupidity here and there but for me, there has to be some kind of charm. Unfortunately that didn't apply here either😔 But no, I just need to say that I HATE to dnf a book.

Then it would all disappear and I would do many other vidhis, special blessings, for you.”
