About this ebook
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a yacht must be in want of a female crew…
The balmy seaside resort town of Salcombe boasts the best in bikinis, sandcastle contests, and a fiercely competitive squad of buff local lifeguards as Regatta Week approaches. And if that weren't enough excitement, Mrs Bennet hears that the splendid villa Netherpollock has been rented by a young man of great fortune. She is determined he'll go out with one of her daughters, until Mr Darcy glides in on his stunning yacht Pemberley and she decides he would be the better catch...
Jane Austen has never been so hilariously recreated as in this modern seaside retelling of Pride and Prejudice, complete with a Mr Darcy you won't soon forget!

Reviews for Mr. Darcy Goes Overboard
8 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Couldn't get past more than 3 pages of tortured writing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This one is set at a little fashionable town near the sea. The players are all the same, the story is the same (with exceptions of course, this being a variation and all.) Lizzy still feels hurt by Mr Darcy's remark, Bingley is still very much in love with Jane, Charlotte still does the reasonable thing and Mr Collins is still a creep. But there are no soldiers, instead there are lifeguards and instead of parties they attend different festivities and sail a lot.The book is fairly silly, though in a good way. It's an amusing story in a different setting and everyone is very young and hip. It's a good book to take to the beach. You will read it fast and be a bit amused during it.Sure there were things I thought were a bit too strange. Lydia's change of heart, now that was the freakiest thing ever. And why Mrs Bennet was so set on them getting married, in this age they are all kids still. But like I said, it's meant to be funny and not taken too seriously. I also noticed that the author has written plays before, and yes I could see this story as some kind of farce. Especially Mr Collins would do well on the scene ;) Don't think too much, some books you just read.Conclusion:A nice little beach read.
