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 blockbuster of the year. As cast and crew descend, Tory’s humdrum orderly existence is turned completely upside down, especially as the lead actor has just been voted the sexiest man on the planet… Full of romantic humour, Claiming Victory is a must for fans of funny love stories - especially quirky British Romantic comedies.
