The plot: On their cross-country drive, a married couple, Jeff (Kurt Russell) and Amy Taylor (Kathleen Quinlan), experience car trouble after an accident. Stranded in the New Mexico desert, the two catch a break when a passing truck driver, Red Barr (J.T. Walsh), offers to drive Amy to a nearby café to call for help. Meanwhile, Jeff is able to fix the car and make his way to the café, only to find his wife missing and Barr claiming ignorance. Jeff then begins a frenzied search for Amy.
I would recordmend watching this film.

I enjoyed reading more of Roarke and Eve, seeing them both growing more comfortable with each other and their love; the lengths they'd go to to protect each other. I love them as a couple.
I had no real idea as to who would have killed the women but I did think the person was a little iffy. I only figured it out about the same time as Eve did.
I look forward to reading more of this series at some point but not just yet.

The whole Architecture thing was really interesting too. It's not something I'd have thought would interest me but reading about the drawing of buildings and all the details that were needed...it was quite fascinating.
I'd definitely be interested in the rest of the series.

It was the romance that I didn't enjoy as much. There wasn't much reading time of the couple together, not until after the half way point could they even really be in the same room without arguing over the past--though it was all one big misunderstanding.
I like Josh's work and I'm sure I'll read the next book in the series at some point just to see what happens next with these two.
