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.

Light funny

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 .

Lovely Characters, Appalling Narration.

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

Enjoyable romance

The narration took a bit of getting used to, quite a bit, but eventually I found it brought the characters to life. I could imagine Jimmy and found Victory’s blustering old man quite funny. The story was predictable but I think this one has piqued my interest enough to continue with the series.

Short, humourous.

The witty remarks made me laugh. The characters are amusing including the dog. A summer delight.

Lighthearted and funny

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.

Absolutely Loved it!
