USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Rita Herron fell in love with books at the ripe age of eight when she read her first Trixie Belden mystery. But she didn’t think real people grew up to be writers, so she became a teacher instead. Now she writes so she doesn’t have to get a real job. With over ninety books to her credit, she’s penned romantic suspense, romantic comedy and YA novels, but she especially likes writing dark romantic suspense and crime fiction set in small southern towns.

4 Stars! ~ Collin lost his sight in the line of duty. A man's brutal murder has given him the corneal transplant he needs to see again. When the bandages come off, Collin is overtaken my images as if he were the man that had been murdered. The cop in him won't rest until he knows that the donor's murder has been solved.
Sydney is the prime suspect in her husband's murder. Every where she turns, she learns more and more of how deceitful and corrupt her husband was. Not only was he cheating his business associates but he was cheating on her too. When someone tampers with her brakes, Collin is there to save her. Sydney's not sure if she can trust Collin, maybe he was the murderer, he seemed to know so much about her life.
Collin's not sure if the attraction he feels for Sydney is his own, or memories from a dead man. He only knows that Sydney's innocent and that she's in grave danger. He's willing to protect her with his life.
This is one of those stories that as soon as you pick it up, you just can't put it down until you're finished ...... I think Ms. Herron made it believable that a transplant recipient could share memories from the donor ... Collin is one of those strong but sensitive types, or at least, he's become more sensitive since his sight has been restored ... gotta love a man who's learned to smell and see the roses ... Sydney is a woman betrayed and yet she tries to stand tall through every sordid detail of her husband's deceit
A thoroughly good read!

I love this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I had a hard time putting it down. Rita Herron is a wonderful writer. I absolutely love books that draw you into it.
Rita Herron spins an exciting tale in "Her Eyewitness," which has a fresh, attention-grabbing premise that certainly intrigues. The book begins with a bang, introducing Sydney's fear and heartbreak and an attempt on her life all in the first chapter. From there, Ms. Herron never lets up, and a lot of the time, "Her Eyewitness" is a real page-turner. There are a few things that could have been improved--the romance could have been better developed, as a heroine, Sydney's a bit on the wimpy side, and the killer's identity probably isn't as big a surprise as Ms. Herron intended it. But many will find those points easy to overlook, as the nonstop action and dangerous situations Collin and Sydney find themselves in are sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
