Halfway House
A shared car ride home from college goes awry for Tyler the jock and “Supernerd” Eliot when they get lost in the dark on a country road and their vehicle stalls. Luckily, they find the Halfway House Hotel, where a series of odd events and unexpected urges seem to conspire to throw them together—and soon Tyler and Eliot decide that not having anything in common is no reason not to take a side trip of their own.

OMG Awesome!
I loved everything about this book, except it was too short. I was loving these guys so much i didn't want it to end. The ending was very good and the story did feel complete but I am selfish and want more. A lot more.

VERY cute story of Elliot, the Supernerd, and Tyler, the captain of the basketball team, who are thrown together for a shared ride back home (1500 miles). When the car breaks down, they are forced to put aside their bickering and prejudices against each other to share a room at the Halfway House Hotel. A team of matchmaking ghosts decides they are perfect for each other and sets about making them see it. The story is very sweet, and just wish it had been longer. The first time they hold hands, just the cutest thing ever.

I enjoyed this story about two students, polar opposites of each other, who get thrown together in a car pool and each have to deal with their perceived notions of the other.
There was a lot of humor as Tyler, the proverbial jock, and Eliot, the class nerd, get to know the person behind the stereotype. Not that they want to, but since circumstances force them into working together, they have no choice. I thought it was funny and entertaining.

Cute story about Tyler and Eliot, opposites in almost every way, but they are carpooling home for spring break.
The car breaks down and they spend the night at a very different kind of hotel, and discover that maybe they have more in common than they thought.
For a short this was a great story, just wish it were longer!

Pretty good paranormal m/m romance about two college students who don't really know each other and are just sharing a ride home for Spring Break... and then the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

When Tyler, the Jock and Eliot, the Supernerd, ends up car-pooling during spring break, they have noting in common.
Well..maybe the glancing at each other, when the other isn´t looking.
When they run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, they find the Halfway House Hotel and get a room there.
Sharing a bed, and nosing around after strange sounds, does something to them both..
The hotel is a special one, and a lot of things can happen - and does.
A really sweet read, that is to short, and really adorable♥

Sweet short story. Characters are a little stereotypical but not too much. AT the same time they are breaking stereotypes. It could be longer. It's a really short read.

He amado esta historia. Cómo la autora utilizó cosas muy obvias en la trama que al final hizo que tuviera un final feliz sin que lo sientas pesado. Es genial
