Love Has No Boundaries, June 28, 2005
Honor McIntrye is a successful model on top of the industry, but she has a terrible secret. She feels if she reveals the secret, it will undercut her modeling career and ruin her forever. Consequently, she decides to step out of the modeling scene before things get too rough. At her retirement party, she takes a leap of faith and asks Nicolas Morgan to dance.
Nic is a corporate executive for African Ancestry Cosmetics (AAC) in charge of advertising. He has eyed Honor since she won the industry supermodel position at AAC. He desires a family but has vowed to never date a model because of the reputations they have as "love'em and leave'em". Not to mention, Nic has trust issues, problems controlling his sister, Savannah, and a seven-month old nephew to watch over. Would he lower the armor that covers his heart and let Honor in?
Honor and Nic spend one evening dancing, eating and talking, which will define the rest of their lives. It becomes clear that Honor will have to face the demons and allow the secret to come out. Honor's family is close-knit and offers support as she makes the transition from quiet and insecure to being proud of herself. Nic has some family secrets of his own that spill out when Savannah neglects her motherly duties and forces Nic to care for her son, Madison. As the story unfolds, love may blossom for Honor and Nic.
Honor's Destiny is not your ordinary romance, as it has two lessons to teach. The most important lesson is to stay true to self. Second, sharing one's God given talents will fill your heart with joy. Greggs has written a surprising tale of family, romance, and the secrets that threaten to disrupt it all. In the endnote, the author informs the reader that this is the first book in a trilogy to chronicle the adventures of the McIntrye sisters. Put my name on the list to read her next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A very nice debut novel..., August 27, 2005
Honor's Destiny by Yolonda Greggs is a delightful read.
Honor McIntyre is retiring from modeling after a couple of successful years in the business. Honor has both personal and family concerns which require her full attention.
Nicolas Morgan has avoided dating any of the models working in the firm for which he serves as advertising exec. He has been drawn to Honor since the day she begin working for his firm, however. Now that she is entering retirement, the desire to pursue her quickly resurfaces. Nicolas, too, has family-related crises that need his attention. When Honor comes to his rescue on one account, the attraction between them can simply no longer be ignored.
Honor's Destiny is a relatively short story at just over 200 pages, but a wonderful debut! Nicolas and Honor are a pair of wounded souls who must explore whether they can move forward together. Though the ending felt rushed, I look forward to Ms. Greggs' next novel due in late 2005.

Loving To Hard, May 6, 2005
Platinum Review Rating: 4.5
Yolanda Greggs tells a story of an insecure woman with the intelligence and bronze that allows her to be the fantastic supermodel that she is. Honor McIntyre has closed her secret problems off to the public and would fight to keep them quiet but not before she falls in love. Honor decides to retire from modeling she goes after the one thing has held her eye for a long time Nicholas Morgan.
Nicholas Morgan had an eye of Honor but had a thing about dating models but could he see past her being a model to see the true person behind it all. When he makes the mistake of promising to help her with a pet project that leads to the two of them spending time together it leads to him questioning himself but before he could really examine his life his sister adds to the problems by leaving her son with him. When Honor meets Madison she takes upon her self to see after the child which leads to the two of them dealing with their feelings.
Honor and Nic go through the ups and downs of the relationship, but with the unusual strains and all more secrets than either can survive but with love and honesty they will be able to make it. Yolanda Greggs writes an excellent story surrounding love and family.
