**Received as a First Read for an honest review**
I was really excited to read this book. I have had [b:Room|7937843|Room|Emma Donoghue|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344265419s/7937843.jpg|9585076] on my TBR list for a very long time, just haven't gotten my hands on it yet.

Blanche Beunon is a french burlesque dancer living in San Francisco in 1876. It's the end of the gold rush and smallpox is everywhere. Blanche is returning home one afternoon, when she literally runs into Jenny Bonnet and her riding machine. They quickly form a "friendship" and Blanche's life gets turned upside down.

During the week that Blanche has left her job and is trolling around town with Jenny, Jenny is murdered. Blanche is sure it's her "maques" Arthur and Ernest who have done it, since they have been so upset with her since becoming friends with Jenny.

This book just didn't do it for me. It was a very slow start and really didn't get interesting until the last 60 pages.

I really enjoyed this.

I loved Sebastian from that first peek we had as he entered the G.A.P. meeting instead of the dance class next door. I also love a man who can dance, and let me tell you, he can dance! He was very sweet with Maddie and I liked how he went about wooing her, despite her protests after her friend Jessica had already picked him out to "play"

As for Jessica, Maddie's room-mate and friend, I wasn't a fan. Maybe she was blind to the fact Sebastian didn't want her or maybe she was in denial because everyone normally does wants her. Either way, I didn't like how she went about doing things and she came across as a right b*tch by the end.

Hunter was a firm favourite of mine and I wish he got a bit more book time or at least a happy ending, because he was such a sweet kid.

I recommend this to fans of New Adult, it has a different plot to most and like I said, I really enjoyed it.
