Summary
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.

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

Quirky funny rim com
Loved all the characters and voices. A cheery story just right to lift the January blues. Love it when the underdog comes out on top. Highly recommend

Predictable
Story was very predictable. I may have enjoyed this more had I read it rather than listened to it as the narration was dull to say the least!.

Simplistic, neither characters nor story believabl
Ok, so it was a bit of fun, but totally predictable, nothing original. Characters not really consistent, very two dimensional. Nothing about it believable.
I wouldn't bother reading anything else by this author.
But if you like an easy read and don't care about consistency or developed characters then it might suit you.
