Alta lives on the foggy coast of Oregon with her husband, two daughters, and a pair of dogs who think they’re in charge. When she’s not writing redemption for the irredeemable, she’s walking the coastline or sipping craft beer in eccentric little bars that feel like they belong in her books.

The three stars are for the fucked up plot twist that I JUST DID NOT SEE COMING.

It was basic Student x Principal but with a spin on it.

I liked how it started off with him (I’ve forgotten his name lol) being really cordial and not being so lusty all the time.

It was average writing but the mindfuck made up for it.
The dialogue could’ve been better and got really cringe at times. But it got a lot better towards the end.

Also another very toxic ending and I loved how he didn’t give two fucks lmao 🤷🏻‍♀️

BOOK: Mr. D
AUTHOR: Alta Hensley
GENRE:Forbidden Romance
POV: First Person - Dual
TYPE: Standalone
RATING: 3 Stars!

NAME/AGE: Corrine : 19 | Drew : 30-40?
PUBLISHED: October 20, 2020.

*SPOILERS AHEAD.*


So wrong. So twisted. So unhealthy. But we both didn’t give a fuck.



'Mr. D' is my first book from Alta Hensley and wow, does this book pack a punch! It's a forbidden (principle/student) story with some off-the-charts chemistry. This book is a twisted take on a student-teacher romance. The story will pull you in from the very beginning and won't let you go. It's full of love, betrayal and twists. We also get plenty of angst, steam and passion. I absolutely love student-teacher romance; there's just something about the taboo aspect that is so appealing for me. 'Mr. D' was a little mild in that area. There wasn't a lot of taboo-hiding drama in the storyline. It focused more on the stalker aspect of the story and relationship between Corinne and Mr. D. I particularly enjoyed the character of Corrine and every detail that went with it.

He woke up my crazy. He woke up my reckless. He woke up a siren determined to be heard.



I loved Corinne. Her character was a fresh change that I didn't know I needed. For once, it's not the student that was innocent. I loved her crazy mind, how she took matters into her own hands and how she wasn't afraid for her desires. The only thing that I'm bummed about is that I saw the twist coming a mile off. It was so clear to me. I mean, the prologue with Corrine talking about stalkers and their obsessions kinda gave it away. So there was no element of surprise for me. Apart from that, I really enjoyed her crazy antics and stalkerish ways. And how Mr. D was wary of her after the truth came out was hilarious to me. It was a good change in the dynamic of their relationship.

I would ignore the voices that told me to sit in my car and watch him from a distance.
I would not be that girl.
I would not obsess.
I would not watch.
I would not wait.
I would not stalk.
I would prove them all wrong.
I wasn’t crazy.
I wasn’t crazy.
I wasn’t crazy.
I would not stalk.
I would not stalk…
Fuck that. Yes, I would.


See? That was hilarious. The writing style has a way of just drawing you in. It's sweet and passionate and packs a solid twist. It truly is amazing, there's no doubt Alta Hensley is a great author. I just wish this book was a little longer because their relationship felt rushed at the end. And I wanted more of an epilogue. Overall, it's a good age-difference book with a sprinkle of crazy in it.

Stalk was such a strong word. Did I hide in shadows outside his house? Did I watch his every move? Did I fantasize what it would be like to be with him? Did I obsess over every little thing he did? Did I manipulate situations so we could be together? Did I stalk my old teacher? Yes.

This book was twist.ed and you know what? I freakin loved that. It was fast paced, sexy, taboo and it gave you just the right amount of guilty pleasure you were desperately craving.

Nineteen year old Corrine has always had to be a part of the Hollywood spotlight because of her famous mom. Needing a bit of normalcy and to finish out her Senior year in a new town, Corrine is more than determined to do just that. If only she can get herself together and actually get to school on time on a regular basis. But when she comes face to face with the principal for that very same tardiness, detention is going to be the least of her worries.

I really loved that this was a forbidden taboo romance with a stalker mystery element to it. I also really liked that the main characters knew exactly what they wanted and they were never afraid to voice their feelings with each other despite the situation. My issue is that I wanted the story to be longer and see more of the ups and downs between the main characters and the effect their relationship would have on each other and outside forces.

Now I have to say that the plot in this one was a huge record scratch and I had to re read it just to make sure I wasn't seeing things because….

thsi-shit-is-too-crazy-what-the-fuck

If you're looking for a quick forbidden mystery romance, then this one is definitely for you.

*ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review*

2/5 ⭐️
2.5/5 🌶

Tropes:
- age gap (h is 19, H’s age wasn’t mentioned)
- stalker romance
- forbidden love
- student x principal
- suspense
- plot twist
- equal obsession
- high school setting

POV: first person - dual

Type: stand-alone

*This is not your conventional stalker romance but it is a stalker romance. There’s more to the plot than what the blurb tells you.*

I am the BIGGEST fan of stalker romances. They are the my heart and soul so you can bet your ass I was beyond excited for this book. The tropes in this sounded sooo good plus the stunning cover? I was all for it… until I wasn’t.

This started off great until the thing I hate most happened. The dreaded OW smut scene with full on details. It was a blowjob while the heroine watched, ENJOYED watching, and even wanted them to continue so she can “imagine it was her”. The hero did end up cutting the bj short bc of the circumstances (plot wise) but the damage was done. GAG

“𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙨 𝙄 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙖𝙡 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙟𝙤𝙗 𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢.”

“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙛𝙪𝙘𝙠 𝙝𝙚𝙧. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙚.”

I SWEAR TO ALL THATS GOOD IN THE WORLD WHY JUST WHY. It’s a romance book for f*cks sake so why would I want to read about the hero receiving any sexual pleasure from ANYONE who is not the heroine. Make it make sense. No, just NO. Normally I would DNF immediately bc it’s an immediate turn off from the book but I try to not DNF ARCs so there’s that.

Then it just went from feeling no emotional/romantic connection to sleeping together. It happened without any progression.

Also the plot twist ruined the whole dynamic for me even more. Definitely not my type of stalker romance.

And finally, there is NO epilogue. It had such an abrupt ending, I was seriously expecting a bit more but nope.

The title really says it all  😲😲
Well, I didn’t expect that turn of events but I definitely enjoyed it 🤩

Sick Crush is, basically, the story of an obsession between Corinne, a nineteen yo student, and Mr D, her principal.
Corinne is in danger and no one can help her; so Mr D can't help but feeling protective toward her.
Spending time together is effortless, and soon the chemestry between them show off.
Everything seems perfect, despite the forbiddenness of their relationship... but one of them is hiding a huge secret 😏😏

So, i'm always in when it comes to this kind of stories.
I loved the age gap, the forbiddenness, but mostly I loved the twisted aspect of it.
This love should not feel so right.
It’s a dark obsession, but mostly is the need to be loved by someone who really accept us for who we are.
This two were so sweet together 😍😍 And Mr. D was so hot 🔥🔥
I would have liked a long epilogue, a glimpse of their future, tho.

This is my first book from Alta Hensley, but it definitely won't be the last.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one immensely. It had me at the edge of my seat the entire time and still did not see that twist coming.
Both characters were great and the writing was pretty decent.

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS

‘Mr. D’ is a standalone romance by Alta Hensley , which is also a part of the ‘Black Mountain Academy’ series. Told in dual perspectives , this book was the true definition of CRAZY!

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? I mean this book literally has me speechless!

What I thought this book would be when I saw the Blurb:




What it was for the starting 60% :



what I mean to say was the it was Tame , very Tame!! But then you can blame it on My twisted mind to always expect the kinky stuff....

Then at 60% a twist came. Nah not a twist, what came can’t be called a twist, I mean for a moment , I was like ‘Nope, this is not happeneing , what the fuck is this??????????’


I mean I seriously have no words. One moment I was thinking that this book was one tame romance between a student and her principal, full of hot taboo stuff and then that twist came and the whole genre of book got changed.

It was not a bad twist. I mean it has to be the BEST TWIST EVER. I just think that there was no place for that twist in a romance book. The author turned it into a thriller book and that was VERY VERY ODD to me. By the end I was something in between this:




Anyways , people have different opinions , so You might want to read this one , because it has a killer plotline , however be sure to sit somewhere away from walls , because you know a kindle or phone can break if thrown at a wall in huge distress.... Or shock. That’s it , that’s all I want to tell you guys, or maybe consider it as a warning. ALL THE VERY BEST!

a solid 3.8 ⭐️ (rounded up)

4/5 🌶️ - the spice scenes were 👌

Alright, alright. This was pretty good. Started off strong & had me thinking it was be a 4.5 - 5⭐️ read but something started to fall a little flat for me.

Perhaps it was the length? I mean, obviously it’s a bit hard to condense a fully fleshed story into 195 pages ,though, I’ve seen other stories of this length do it better 🤷‍♀️

Regardless of the after 50% -slight- nosedive this story was a fun, spicy, mystery-adjacent time!

With the fmcs stalker at large, we have:
-a principal
-a neglectful mother
-neglectful mothers slimy manager
-a friend
-slew of other randos

So…whose doing it? Well the principal x student r doing it 😼🌶️. But as for the stalking? Idk, i felt it to be slightly predictable in one aspect but shocking in another! (spoiler-full thoughts on this in NOTES)

Quotes
”knowing just how obsessive compulsive I was over the closing of doors and that was one of the main reasons I was always late for school. I had to check and double check so many times, I wouldn’t even be able to keep count.”

~~ME. as a longtime sufferer of ocd i can’t help but highlight any relatable quotes 🥲. compulsions -> make u anxious -> so u do X behavior -> makes u more anxious but fulfills ur compulsive duty -> brain says “jk 🥰 now repeat compulsive behavior x100” = want to rip hair out 🫡~~

Tropes & Such
-hs principal x student
-age gap (h 19)
-mystery (who is stalker?)
-mentions of loneliness
-parental neglect
-no cheating
-no real opd*
-OCD rep
-HEA

(Slight spoilers to explain):

*OWD: 1) ‘OW’ doesn’t even know who FMC is so there’s no mean girl stuff

2)OW’ is a casual fuck buddy of MMC. While FMC is at MMC house OW surprise stops by. MMC is only concerned with getting OW out & not seeing FMC. Likewise, FMC is hiding. Where FMC hid, she sees the OW advance on MMC. He says gently tries to get her to leave while looking around for FMC. He said he appeased OW a little bit to know make her know something was up. FMC turned on by what she saw. This was BEFORE anything ever happened between MMC & FMC

*OMD: not really, just casual mentions of FMC ex’s/past ‘lovers’

*Might seem like a lot of OPD bc of long explanation but aside from that 1 OW scene there rlly wasn’t anything. Generally safe.*

👇⚠️‼️SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!!‼️⚠️👇















NOTES
-Felt the big twist to be kinda predictable. I was thinking it would go in this direction early on though - not to the extent it did. I didn’t think the FMC stalked a prev teacher or the MMC. I just thought it might’ve been the FMC doing the stuff to herself by either 1)not realizing it OR 2)doing it on purpose. The reason for #2 however I don’t anticipate. That made me 😯!!

Usually age-gap and teacher/student are my favourite tropes. But this was more than I expected. The book was short and easily read, the spice was great, but damn if the book didn't left me confused. The twist...boy, this was a huge surprise 😱.

Special thanks to Valentine PR for giving me the chance to read this book.

This was by far Alta Hensley's best book ever!!
Corrine is unraveling because of a stalker who she never sees but can feel him watching. Her tardiness and absenteeism brings her to the principal’s office. Mr. D feels compelled to help this young woman.
Then everything gets turned upside down with Alta's creative writing.
I absolutely loved this story!

After reading King of Spades which was my first book by this author, I knew I wanted to check out more of her work!

Genre: Dark Romance
Steam Gauge: 🌶🌶🌶/4

Lovers of the stalker trope as well as teacher/student forbidden romance, this is one to check out!

Only, please note, Mr. D is the principal of Black Mountain Academy, not a teacher. (Which was SOOO much better!!)

I’m going to say as little as possible about this book because it’s really better if you go in blind. Corinne has a stalker… and she runs to her principal for help. He wants to protect her until the lines begin to blur.

That’s about all I’m gonna say.

Just know that this book is one book for the first 60% and then the frickety frack HIT THE FAN!! 🤯🤯

There was also a somewhat controversial 🌶🌶🌶 scene involving one of the MCs, but I actually thought it added to the story so I was down with it.

Wished there would’ve been an epilogue. This story REALLY needed one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow, so this had a twist. A big one. But I won't tell you what it is. So, Corrine is a senior in school, lives alone, has a stalker. Mr. D is the tattooed hottie principal who comes to her rescue. So this is pretty forbidden and delicious. I really liked it, and their relationship dynamic. I especially liked a scene where she's hiding in a closet. It's a steamy read with kind of twisted undertones. And the cover! It's just so eye catching. I couldn't put this down.

Sick Crush by Atla Hensley is a forbidden (principal/student), stalker romance with a twist I didn’t see coming. It’s a quick, smutty read and is sure to keep readers hearts racing while making them sweat. While it’s not my favorite forbidden romance (see below) I enjoyed the fast-paced nature and the insane twist at the end.

I’ve been going back and forth on what to rate this one because I liked the book, but I also didn’t. I mean, I love forbidden romances and haven’t read one that takes place between a principal and student in a LONG time but this one made me cringe A LOT. And I like smut! But something between Corinne and Mr. D didn’t feel right to me. It may be because everything happened so quickly and a book like this needs to take its time for the relationship to feel believable. It also may be the weird ending after the twist happened. I don’t know! But there was just something off about this one to me and I can’t really put my finger on it.

I know a lot of people loved this one and found the twist to be mind-blowing (it was a good one) but having one great twist didn’t change my feelings about the characters in this one. So, I’ll give this a solid 3 stars.

I usually don't read teacher-student romances but I loved this book so much. This book was sick and twisted. It had a great plot twist. I was sucked in from the beginning of Corinne and Mr.D’s taboo relationship.
Mr. D was mine. He would be mine beyond just tonight.- Corinne

I love the mystery stalker aspect of the book. This was my first read from Alta Hensely and I'm excited to read more from her.

Sick Crush is Corinne and Mr D's obsessive story.

Trigger Warning: Paranoia, Stalker, Mental Health

Synopsis
Corrine Parker has a stalker whom she could neither identify nor ever has come face-to-face with but she does sense a sinister presence whenever she's out and about. Mr. D is the principal of the school she started attending three months ago and it's a matter of chance that during one such moment, he gets to know she's being hunted.

Review
Sick Crush starts with Corinne and her fear of being stalked by someone who's always out of reach of the police. She's a nineteen-year-old senior at Black Mountain Academy with an absentee mother and a father who was never in the picture.

This is my first read by Alta Hensley. Narrated in the first person from dual perspectives, Corrine is the daughter of a silver screen diva with no desire for the attention that it entails.

After having missed a year at school due to reasons that are revealed later on in the story, she joins Black Mountain Academy, a school attended by the rich and the elite in a secluded corner of the world. While it helped her escape the paparazzi hounding her as a result of being who her mother is, it did leave her alone and vulnerable in a mansion.

Drew Dawson, known to his students as Mr. D, is the principal at the Academy, who just got there from Oakland seeking change, but already despises the place. He welcomes the change that Corrine's presence brings to his life though. But he's not sure how they could be together, what with them being at different stages of life. Although he likes being able to help and protect someone.

I felt that Sick Crush was missing some crucial elements, even after being the expanded and re-edited version of the previously published Mr. D. Now, while Corrine has a backstory, and a solid reason for her activities throughout the book, Mr. D continues to be a mysterious stranger who seems to have appeared out of nowhere. It is evident that this is an age-gap forbidden romance between a student and their teacher but never once is Mr. D's age revealed.

The title of the book makes sense though, it is indeed a sick crush that goes both ways. Whether it be Corrine's obsession with Mr. D or vice-versa. It has orgasm-inducing writing, a little bit of voyeurism, and twists and turns that will keep you awake. It takes a 360° turn somewhere in the middle and has a conclusive ending but I still need more emotional closure.

Thank you to Valentine PR for an e-ARC of the book.

This book was definitely not what I was expecting given the intriguing plot. I didn't like the progression of the story and neither did I enjoy the plot twist. The ending felt particularly rushed and the characters were all over the place. I find it hard to believe that the male protagonist would be so pliant after hearing what he discovered about her and makes me believe that everything about them was completely superficial and was all on the basis of a physical connection. I feel that the whole story could have been better if the pace was slowed down and the plot twist didn't happen. I believe the latter is what completely threw me off from even liking this book.

I love age gap romance and if they have the taboo factor of being a Teacher/student romance that makes them even more appealing, so when I saw this book was Principal/student AND a Stalker Romance on top of that I couldn't wait to read it.

This is my first Alta Hensley read and you can absolutely say it won't be my last. I loved how she took a story that we thought we knew where it was heading and threw a wrench in it and twisted it so that we had no idea it was coming. I love when things catch me by surprise this twist certainly did and that my friends is all I am going to say about that.

I would recommend this book to those that enjoy Steamy Romantic Suspense Reads, Age Gap Romances, Teacher/Student Romances...well, in this case it's Principal/Student, or Stalker Romances.

Happy Reading!!!

I had been very excited to start this book as it had captured my attention from the simple three words "Black Mountain Academy". Anything that has been set in a boarding school or a high school scenario is one of my favorite book tropes. The other thing which drew me to this book was the author as I am a fan of Alta Hensley's dark romance writing. Mr. D started with our main female heroine Corrine moving to Black Mountain and attending Black Mountain Academy and we are presented with the fact that she has what looks like a stalker. This isn't surprising coming from a rich and wealthy celebrity family. The stalker has caused her to be late one too many times to school where the new principal Mr.D is starting to be concerned. Even more so, when he can't get ahold of her mother and then he says it with his own eyes. This has him offering Corrine to come and stay with him, which of course you can see where this will lead. Mr.D finally gets ahold of Corrine's mother and then the novel has an amazing OMFG twist which I did not see coming and was like Woah seriously WTF. I was in two minds how the book ended as in one way it was like manipulation in a way but the other was I know it has to end this way as it is a HEA story. I am now looking forward to checking out the other books in the Black Mountain Academy series. Black Mountain Academy is High School for the Rich and Wealthy, Dark, Sexy, and Forbidden.

"Mr D" is the standalone novel in dual perspective, part of the Black Mountain Academy.

Corrode is a student at Black Mountain Academy, who has encountered some unfortunate incident which left her unprotected to bad people. Mr D, the principal of the Academy sees her and his protective side for her took control.
And there begin the taboo relationship between a principal and his student.

I really like the concept behind this book...It wasn't all sex..sex..sex....there was a genuine story and love, no matter where, was pure in its state.
Alta Hensley always surprises me with the intense erotica aspect of the book but here she has outdone herself.

Going into the book...I was expecting the book to be more dark and twisted but it was kinda tame ...in my opinion.
But when I hit 55%...the whole story took a 180 turn...Corrine has secrets too..which can uproot the love blossomed between Mr D and her..

All the books in this series are coming out to be better and better...every story is unique in its own aspect and so far I have completed reading 4 books in the series...I can't wait to read more from this amazing world.

I am a fan of this type of genre and even bigger one of this author. Corinne doesn’t like that her principal is pushing her but when Mr. D finds out she has a stalker and is alone against his better judgment he decides to step in send them the story really takes off!!!
