About this listen
Full of romantic humour, Claiming Victory is a must for fans of funny love stories.
At thirty two, Victory Shackleford is arguably overweight, undeniably frumpish and the love of her life is a dog. She still lives at home with her father—an eccentric retired Admiral who she considers reckless, irresponsible, and totally incapable of looking after himself. Her father on the other hand thinks Victory is a boring nagging harpy with no imagination or sense of adventure and what's more, he's determined to get her married off. Unfortunately there's no one in the picturesque yachting town of Dartmouth that Tory is remotely interested in, despite her father's best efforts. But all that is about to change when she discovers that her madcap father has rented out their house as a location shoot for the biggest Hollywood blockbuster of the year.

Lovely Characters, Appalling Narration.
The Shakleford Diaries are a lovely series of stories with delicious characters. However, the narration of this story is truly appalling. The narrator sounds like she's reading a telephone directory and is painful to listen to for any duration .

Weak and predictable
Daft accents, stereotypical characters and predictable yet ridiculous story. I was hoping for more descriptions of the beautiful setting - but no.

Absolutely Loved it!
You would not believe my favourite character in the book is the Admiral! The story was gripping and it made me chuckle a lot. Noah is so sweet. The male Narrator does take a bit of getting used to but overall he was good.

Well read and well written but Totally implausible and very unlikely story. I might try one more by this author
