Rating: ★★★★½/★★★★★ Dating Mr. December is my second Phillipa Ashley novel after reading Wish You Were Here , her wonderful modern-day romance which takes us to some of the most beautiful and exotic locations in Europe. As mentioned in my review of her first book, I first came to know about Ms Ashley in an interview on Fly High! , the fantastic blog run by Italian Maria Grazia. About two months ago, I managed to watch 12 Men of Christmas , the Lifetime television movie based on Decent Exposure , the UK title for this same book which fueled my interest and add this novel to my list. As with almost all chick-lit fiction, the story follows the same formulaic plot where girl meets boy, girl is attracted to boy, boy feels the same, boy loses girl and they finally end up together. What sets this story apart is the picturesque backdrop of Bannerdale with its snow-covered mountains, rocky fells, peaceful lakes and calm tarns. Bannerdale is a town in Cumbria and is part of the Lake D...
