When Hollywood invades her sleepy seaside town, Victory Shackleford's quiet life becomes anything but ordinary...
Thirty-two-year-old Victory Shackleford has mastered the art of playing it safe. Comfortable in her predictable routine in the picturesque riverside town of Dartmouth, she's content with her work, her dog, and keeping her eccentric, adventure-loving father out of trouble. That is, until she discovers he’s rented out their historic home as the setting for Hollywood's biggest blockbuster of the year and her meticulously organized world crumbles overnight.
While cameras roll and her meddling father orchestrates increasingly outrageous matchmaking schemes, Tory finds herself thrust into the spotlight she's spent years avoiding. But as the boundaries between her carefully controlled world and Hollywood's glittering chaos blur, Tory must decide: Will she retreat to her comfort zone, or finally step into the starring role of her own life?
Perhaps her father's latest outrageous scheme might just lead to the most unexpected victory of all...
“It’s a fairy tale story but the writing in places had me literally crying with laughter and not able to read on! The hysterical pictures in my mind made me smile for hours. Loved it.”
Praise from Amazon readers for the Shackleford Diaries:
“I’ve read a lot of romantic comedies, but none have had me crying with laughter like this series.”
“I was laughing so hard, I had to stop reading to wipe the tears away.”
“The funniest books ever. My husband thinks I’m deranged as I’ve laughed so much.”
“I had to put the book down and walk away until my eyes quit crying with laughter.”
“Don't read them in the early hours of the morning if hubby is asleep, they made me howl with laughter. Tried to stifle it but shook the bedclothes. Absolutely brilliant."
