Match Fit

Match Fit is a globetrotting, friends-to-lovers romcom for readers who love Emily Henry's People We Meet on Vacation and Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare. In these uncertain times, Match Fit is pure sunshine.

Ruby Carpenter is fine. Sure, AI has stolen all the best jobs, her fiancé is behaving like a moody grouch, and she's starting a temp role working for Australian Rugby—a sport she knows nothing about—but overall, she's happy. Great, even!

That is, until her relationship implodes and Ruby's left all but homeless with a job she never wanted in the first place.

She needs to get her life back on track, but the glamorous world of international rugby is very distracting. And the English captain, Jake Lavender? He's the most distracting of all.

However, as Jake and Ruby continue to cross paths on the glittering world tour, the lines between 'real life' and 'temporary life' begin to blur.

Ruby starts to wonder: has the life she planned been holding her back from the life she wants? Because maybe when life doesn't go to plan, that's when the real magic happens.

'Ronald has crafted the perfect romcom: witty, romantic and hot, it's about time the rugby world got a love story like this! I adored the characters, especially Ruby. She was so real and perfectly encapsulated what it feels like to be mid-30s, recently single and perhaps not fully ready to mingle! With everything I like in a book, Match Fit is for the hopeless - and hopeful - romantics among us!' GEORGIE TUNNY, author of Over to You

'Match Fit is a quintessentially millennial rom-com with a wonderful marshmallow heart. If you've ended up living in a world much more difficult than the one you were promised, or if you feel like you haven't lived up to your potential – this book is here to tell you that you too deserve the very loveliest love.' JODI MCALISTER, author of An Academic Affair

'This sparkling romcom isn't just for rugby fans (I've never seen a game), but for any reader who wants a funny, heartwarming, feel-good delight.' NINA KENWOOD, author of The Wedding Forecast

'Match Fit is the perfect rom-com rugby for the readers more comfortable on the stands than the fields. It's non-stop fun full of heart and laughter with a romance that will sweep you off your feet with its sincerity and its realness.' SUNNY ADCOCK, cohost of Booksmart
