All He Feels: Dax & Ginny
Stand-alone Crossroads romance, complete with HEA—and plenty of heat and heart along the way!
One night sealed their fate…

With some time set aside to create new music, Ginny was also ready to create something special with the man that consumed her every waking thought. After being reunited with the woman who owned him mind, body and soul, he was ready to make her feel all that he felt and more…

It's so cheesy, I love it and hate it.

I am a fan of Melanie Shawn’s Crossroads series and was excited to be given an advance copy to read and to review. This book is the 11th book in the series and all in all it was a good addition. It can be read a a stand-alone book but it is helpful to have read the previous books so as to recognize some of the characters and back story.
I liked Ginny and Dax… they were believable characters and their physical chemistry was evident. They met sometime in the past and this book brings them back into each other’s lives through a series of unexpected events.
I am reluctant to give this book 5 stars as I felt there were too many story lines going at once and none of them were fully developed. Ginny had several reasons for returning to Harpers Crossing which were all believable on their own but seemed to get lost in the story of Dax and Ginny’s reunion. I felt pulled in too many directions and could not sink my teeth into the book. This will not stop me from reading the next book in the series but felt this was not the best installment in the series.

What an awesome addition to the Crossroads series! Dax and Ginny were such a great couple! I loved that Ginny wasn't a spoiled star and she wasn't a partier. All you hear about in real life are child celebrities that have chosen a bad path so this book was a refreshing change!! I loved that she wanted her "firsts" to be with Dax. Dax was such a sweet man. Any man who can look at a woman for the first time and declare that he is going to marry her is super romantic or maybe crazy. Whatever! :) Ginny and Dax complemented each other. I loved reading about them! I would definitely recommend this book!!

I always love going back to Harper Crossing! It’s like a big reunion every single time! I just love Dax and Ginny! They were absolutely perfect! I loved everything about them! I really enjoyed seeing her working on her music and that Karina and Ryan made an appearance. It was a nice surprise. It was really a sweet story between Dax and Ginny! 💙

Much cuter, had its moments that made me tear up and laugh which is always good. I just wish we got to see she spend more time with Don, it seemed like such a big build up only to get a few pages on it.

**I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.**
First off I feel I should confess that I am part of the Melanie Shawn pre-release review team. I found Melanie when I fell in love with her Hope Falls series which I beyond love. This is her Crossroads series and I have read a book here or there but not the entire series, especially the early books. This book really brings the two series together, more so than I have seen in her other books. While I was constantly looking up various books in the series as characters were mentioned, I was not lost and I feel that this book can easily stand alone. However, be warned you might have to read the other books because you learn alot about previous characters in this book and they sound like wonderful love stories.
This is book 11 and it starts right after book 10 ends where Ace and Stephanie end up in love and engaged. Steph and Ace are friends of the hero, Dex and Ace and Dex work together for a security company and also own a nightclub. On opening night of the club in book 10, we meet the heroine, Ginny who is a big country music star and who sang that night. Then around Valentine's Day, Ace brought Ginny back to sing to Stephanie. Dex on meeting Ginny at the opening had a major crush on Ginny but in this book we learn he and Ginny spent Valentine's night with each other but in a just friends way. However since that night both have not stopped thinking about the other. And thats where this book opens, with Dex in lust with Ginny and Ginny showing up at Dex's door with her suitcases as she is in town now to work on a new album with Chase Sloan, a fellow musician in town.
Chase Sloan is related to the Sloan family and his many brothers and their wives and families are involved in this story as Ginny is not only working on her new album but she also is planning on interiviewing happy couples in love and thats how we get to see all the various love stories of this series as she meets and interviews the couples for this feature. In addition she writes a song that Chase thinks would be perfect with some music Karina Halle owns. And thats how the author melds her two series together because Karina is from Hope Falls and we get to catch up with her and Ryan as she comes and visits with Ginny. I totally LOVED seeing them again and really getting to know more of the characters and their stories in this series.
Beyond ,music Ginny has a sad life story, she never knew her father because he died when she was a baby. But she thinks she found a picture of him on Facebook and it leads to Chase's family and so she is trying to get to know the Sloan family. This was a really fun and terrific part of the story and I am not spoiling what she finds out.
Ginny and Dex, those two are so sweet and cute together. They have a lot of stuff to work though, one of which is Dex gets hired as her bodyguard. They also have family come visit and I loved the scenes with Dex's mom and sister.
Meanwhile along the way Dex and Ginny have to decide if they want to be together and this book was seriously fun and hot as the two try and figure out what they want from the other. Dex is a wonderful character and I totally loved Ginny.

**Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**
"All He Feels" is written by Melanie Shawn, and it is the 11th book in the Crossroads series. It can be read as a stand-alone book. It features former marine Dax Archer and country singer Ginny Valentine.
Dax and Ginny couldn't get each other out of their minds since that first time they talked to each other. They connected. It's been several months, but now, Ginny is at the front steps of Dax's door. She needs a place to stay while she's recording new music for her upcoming album. Dax lets her stay with him.
But what happens when Ginny's mom hires Elite Security and specifically wants Dax to be Ginny's bodyguard? Ginny has been hounded by the media and paparazzi lately, and someone is leaking information about her. Will Dax's feelings for Ginny get in the way of him protecting her? Can they find their happily ever after?
I simply adored "All He Feels"! I say this about all of Melanie and Shawna's books, but it's true! This sister duo just knows how to write a good story! When Dax told his friend in "All He Needs" that he was going to marry Ginny, I swooned! That scene actually stood out to me from that book. It made me think of another book from this series called "My Only", which I loved! In that story, when Alex first saw Jamie, he asked her to marry him. Right then and there, with that comparison, I felt like I got the same vibes with how Dax and Ginny's storyline will be. At least, with the hero knowing he found his true love at first sight. When Dax said that he was going to marry Ginny, I knew I was going to love "All He Feels". This story is amazing. I love this series! Melanie and Shawna can do no wrong in my book!

I have been waiting for this book for a while. Dax met Ginny after she performed at a birthday party at the bar he co-owns. She went home with him but they just talked for hours. He can't stop thinking about her. Ginny is going to start recording her new album and wants to stay with him for a month. Sparks fly and trouble follows Ginny. All he feels is a great book. There is a great storyline, laugh, and lots of chemistry.

Dax and Ginny's story delivers what the cover promises. Insanely hot, sensuous, and seductive doesn't even cover the heat and magic between them. But it is not just sexy feelings and lust filled thoughts. The magic comes from the tenderness, the refreshing innocence, the desire to be more, and the ability to accept without a clause. And there are all the feels, indeed, in play as Dax and Ginny learn about each other, learn about love, feelings, and relationships.
I have been intrigued by these two since the last story where they initially met and Dax claimed at the first sight that he was going to marry Ginny. And that straight forward honesty, the bluntness, honor, loyalty, and integrity follows throughout the bumpy, fervent road Ginny and Dax has to follow to their HEA.
Ginny's life with all the turmoil and uproar was a perplexing way to live. The stress, the demands, the tabloids, the pretense, the suffocating protective mothering were the other side of the coin many don't stop to think about, the world where the closest to you might be the one stabbing you in the back. I love the cross over to Hope Falls when it came to Ginny's career, even the thought of these two worlds mixing up makes me smile. But what brought the emotions up close to the surface was the connecting with the family she didn't know she had, and the absolute acceptance that followed from it.
Ginny and Dax with their flaming passion and sweet adoration of each other won me over immediately, making this one of those stories that are impossible to put down until the end. I lived in the moment with them, the pictures and scenes clearly in my mind as they fumble with the feelings, life, music, and love. I loved the crispness of the tale, the freshness, originality of it, and the wisdom of the Colonel as he speaks of what love in a relationship truly is. That moment resonated with me so strongly, as I remember having that conversation with my own dad years ago, and I wish everyone could/should hear those words of wisdom and live them true in their own lives, making the world much happier place for all.
My heart is so full tonight after reading Dax and Ginny's story, the delight, elation, and the pleasure of their love left me smiling, and the end scene swooning. I don't know how it is possible, but these stories are just getting better and hitting harder each one.

The Crossroads series keeps growing and it keeps getting better and better with each new installment! This is the 11th book in this series and while it is part of a series, it can easily be read as a stand alone and the reader will enjoy it to the fullest.
Virginia "Ginny" Valentine is the first to admit that while she's had a great life due to be being a country music star, there are quite a few things she has missed out on as well, including romance and a real emotional connection to a man. This is never more clear after spending one night in the presence of Dax Archer where all they did was talk. Months later Ginny still can't get that night, or that man off her mind.
Dax Archer is former Special Ops and while he's more than experienced where women are concerned, he's never been affected by a woman the way he was after talking for hours on end with Ginny. When Ginny takes him up on his offer and shows up on his doorstep months later, Dax thinks that maybe he's hit the jackpot, but will the playboy be able to be become a one-woman man?
With Ginny scheduled to be in town for a month to work on new music with Chase, she hopes to not only spread her wings in a romantic sense, but she hopes to take more control over her life in general. When things out of her control begin to happen, will Ginny be able to keep the control that she has gained over the short period of time? Or will things quickly go back to the way they were and will Ginny lose the one person that has managed to make her feel safe and centered?
I loved how Melanie Shawn crafted a story that had innocence, emotion and heart mixed in with a heaping serving of heat! The chemistry that Dax and Ginny had was electric! I love this author and their books are always a "one-click" for me. I would highly recommend this book and all of the others in the series!

Dax Archer is a bodyguard who works for Elite Security. He met the country singer, Virginia (Ginny) Valentine in the previous book and she went home with him. They spent the night talking, and she was gone when he woke in the morning. That was a month ago and he is still thinking about her. Dax has never been a one woman man, or has ever thought of settling down. He is in the shower thinking about her when he hears his dog Capone barking his head off. He gets out and finds someone at his door. When he opens the door, Ginny is standing there with her suitcase. Dax can’t believe she is right in front of him. He invites her in and finds out that she is working on an album with Chase in town and wants to spend the time there with him. He had told her she could stay there any time she needed. She has fired her manager and broke off with her music company to go on her own. Ginny has been sheltered all her life and is a 22 year old virgin. You need to read the book to see what happens.
This is a very good book. Ginny is so sweet and has her eyes set on Dax as he makes her feel safe. She isn’t afraid to tell Dax what she thinks and I love that about her. She doesn’t play games. She also has some other things going on in her life that is very interesting. Dax has kept to himself most of the time, but is close to his mother and sister. I loved his mother and sister. There are some funny parts in the book, especially ones with Capone the dog. I also had a few tears when I was reading the story, but they were happy tears. I strongly encourage you to read the book. I voluntarily read an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book.

All He Feels is the story of Dax & Ginny. Ginny is country star Virginia Valentine. She's been a star since her first album was released when she was 15. Between her over protective mother & her agent, she's been smothered & encouraged to stay on the path. Now that her mother has gotten remarried, Ginny has sent her on a long honeymoon & has taken the opportunity to fire her manager & try to make an album that she wants to do. She also wants to go visit Dax & see if the feelings are still strong.
Dax Archer is a bodyguard & former Special Forces. He met Ginny when she sang at a friend's engagement & wedding. She hid out at his place while waiting for her flight out of town. They stayed up all night talking & after Dax dozed off, she took off & left behind a thank you note. He's been in a bad mood ever since that night.
This story gives a view point of a celebrity's lack of privacy & public persona. Ginny has a well publicized relationship with another actor that is totally fake. Dax is surprised to hear just how innocent she is. Melanie Shawn is a writing duo that incorporates emotion & intense chemistry into their stories. They bring back characters from other books to add dimension to the story but it doesn't make you feel lost. They can easily be read as stand alone books. If you like intense connections, alpha men & hot sexy scenes, you need to read this one!!

Melanie Shawn has really outdone herself with the amazing and vivid writing in All He Feels, book 11 of The Crossroads Series. The Crossroads Series is located in Harper’s Crossing, and each book is a standalone story. This is Dax and Ginny’s story.
We met these two in the Crossroads book. Dax owns The Plate with Ace and Riley in addition to working for Elite Security. Ginny is a young, talented singer who is looking for a new direction in her career. Ms Shawn even included an appearance from the Hope Falls character, Karina Black to meet with Ginny and discuss music. Dax and Ginny are wonderful characters who learn not only about each other and to act on their attraction but also gain insight about themselves.
I loved reading All He Feels and highly recommend this book to other readers. The characters were well written, authentic and complex. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end. I loved the laughs, sex and seriousness included in the various scenes. I am looking forward to reading the next installment of the Crossroad Series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

All He Feels is a sweet and refreshing story about Dax and Ginny who come from different worlds but discover they are each other’s one true love.
Virginia “Ginny” Valentine is a famous singer who had met Dax at a private event at his restaurant. She’s been in the spotlight from a young age ant hasn’t had a chance to experience many things such as dating or falling in love. A few months after her concert at Dax’s restaurant she returns to get away from the spotlight, find herself and her familial past, and experience and explore these new feelings she’s never felt before.
Dax is an ex-marine, bodyguard, and entrepreneur who has a wild dating streak and never thought he would settle down until he met Ginny and she turned his world upside down. After meeting her the fateful night of her concert he couldn’t stop thinking of her but thought he would
never see her again.
Dax and Ginny’s story is one of innocence, discovery, love and happiness. They find the missing link in their lives and discover that without each other they are incomplete. I thoroughly enjoyed their romance and highly recommend picking up this book.

A few months after her concert at Dax’s restaurant she returns to get away from the spotlight, find herself and her familial past, and experience and explore these new feelings she’s never felt before.
Dax is an ex-marine, bodyguard, and entrepreneur who has a wild dating streak and never thought he would settle down until he met Ginny and she turned his world upside down. After meeting her the fateful night of her concert he couldn’t stop thinking of her but thought he would
never see her again.
Dax and Ginny’s story is one of innocence, discovery, love and happiness. They find the missing link in their lives and discover that without each other they are incomplete. I thoroughly enjoyed their romance and highly recommend picking up this book.

We left off at the end of All He Wants with Dax telling Ace “I’m going to marry that girl.” That girl being country singing sensation Ginny Valentine. Well months later, Ginny ends up at Dax’s door looking for a place to stay while she works on new songs as well as rearranging her personal and career lives.
Unbeknown to either one, they are both insanely happy to be back together. Even more togetherness is forced upon them as Ginny’s mother enlists Dax’s employer for bodyguard services, and Dax is given the assignment. Some very steamy moments are awaiting the reader.
There is more to the story than just Ginny and Dax. Ginny is also looking for her grandfather and juggling the limelight her career brings upon her.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but I would have liked more dialogue/action between all the characters. There was plenty of internal thoughts going on with Ginny and Dax but not enough action in my opinion. And I thought some characters could have had more “page” time. But all in all, the Crossroad series is one I’ll keep coming back to for more updates. Especially the next story All He Desires about computer whiz Nate.

I am a recent reader of Ms Shawn’s books, and at the rate I am going , I will be a fan forever. All He Feels is book 11 of her series , Crossroads . Be assured it’s a standalone. I have only read the previous book, and had no problems . Only made me want to read the entire series.
This story centers around hunky, bodyguard, former Special Forces, Dax Archer and Virginia “Ginny” Valentine, a famous country singer. The moment he saw her in his bar/restaurant, he was determined to make her his. After a one night of just talking, she leaves without further notice. He’s been grumpy for months , until he is hired to be her bodyguard.
The attraction is there when they meet again, and though neither wants a relationship, life happens and feelings develop.
That said, it’s also a story of family, friends, how some deal with being a celebrity, commitment and love.
So, thanks Ms Shawn , for a not only a good plot , but also for a touching story.
I was gifted this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Another amazing addition to the Crossroads series..
Ginny "virgina" Valentine is an international singer, with everything she needs.. Or so she thinks, till one day she meets Dax.. After spending a whole night talking at his place, she can't get him out of her mind... After firing her agent, she heads back to Harper's Crossing, praying that Daxs remembers the offer of a place to stay..
Ex special forces Dax can't keep his mind off the sexy singer, that stayed up all night talking to him, but left in the early hours to catch her plane, while he was still asleep.. He sees her beautiful smile, her sexy body and long legs wherever he is..
The last thing he expects is for her to turn up on his doorstep, in the freezing cold.. Their chemistry is off the charts, their growing love for each other is so beautiful.. Dax is assigned by his security firm, to watch her.. While she stays with him, they make a connection to each other, that is so special it can't be ignored... Their story is a definite 'must read'..
I love this series, but Ginny and Dax's story, has now taken the top spot...

Virginia "Ginny" Valentine is a big time country singer. Dax Archer is the guy she can't forget. Now she's firing everyone on her team and escaping the real world for awhile. Of course, the best place to disappear to is none other than Dax's house in Harper's Crossing. She figured it's a pretty good hiding spot from the paparazzi. Dax hasn't been able to forget Ginny after their night together. The only problem is Dax can't remember if anything actually happened that night. Ginny feels like she's escaping from her overbearing mom while she's on her honeymoon and she's going to do some erase arch into tracking down who she thinks is her paternal grandfather, the family she's never met. Little does she know, her mom has other plans and hires the company Dax works for for their bodyguard services. And who better for the job than Dax! His boss doesn't realize Ginny is already at his house when he is told her mom specifically requested him. Ginny kind of blows off the whole bodyguard thing, until things actually start happening to her. I loved this story and this whole series.

*ARC received in exchange for an honest review*
I loved Dax and Ginny's book. From the beginning of the book the chemistry between these 2 was off the charts. They were both so unsure of each other and the feelings that they had. Dax was a sexy, sweet, caring and so much more but when you put him into a room with Ginny he became so unsure of himself and what he should do. He was so set on everything being just right and so perfect that he forgot that sometimes it is just perfect when you are with the right person. Ginny was so shy and unsure of herself. That came as a shock to me because she was a big time star. She new what she wanted and she went after it. It was only near the end she became unsure of everything. I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet but at times the pages came alive and the book was anything but sweet. I would highly recommend this book. It is definitely 5 stars. I can't wait for Nate's book.

A super fun story pairing a young, innocent country gal with an experienced, hardened Special Forces hottie! They're an exciting couple to watch overcome their roadblocks to head towards their sexy happily-ever-after!
Country music star Virginia Valentine never knew she could fall for a guy after just one night, until she met Dax Archer. They talked all night before she had to quietly slip away, leaving only a note.
Dax is used to enjoying women. Casual, simple fun! He's not used to being obsessed with a woman he barely met ... and one he didn't even take to bed! Months after receiving Ginny's "I'll never forget you" note, he still can't stop thinking about her, so imagine his surprise when she shows up on his doorstep!
Watching this couple learn to lean on each other and simply enjoy the pleasures of each other's company is sexy and sweet!

I absolutely adore this series!!!! I love that Melanie Shawn is able to take us back to Harper's Crossing and we always feel as we never left while meeting more new people that have their lives intertwine with each other! I couldn't get enough of Dax and Ginny!!!!! Their connection was incredible. They just clicked from the first meeting. I love that the guy who was a player, never gonna settle down kind of guy instantly knew the first moment he saw her that she was the woman he was going to marry. And while he thought he was kidding himself, he fit with her in ways he never could have dreamed. Ginny had a lot of growing to do. With being in the spotlight from a young age, she never had her "firsts". She quickly realized that sometimes those first can turn into forevers!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Can't wait for the next one!!!!!
Happy reading!
Happy reading!

I love stories where a tough guy is softened by a sweet woman – and that summarizes Dax and Ginny’s relationship. Dax is an ex-military man who has had his share of women. Ginny is a country singer who has been sheltered by her single-mother all her life. They met at one of Ginny’s performances and spent a night just talking – and neither can forget or move on with others. Ginny comes back to town to stay with Dax as she takes a month vacation from her life – she wants to experience a lot of firsts – and Dax is at the top of her list to help with that! Dax is hired by Ginny’s mother to be her bodyguard – but he is unable to keep the relationship strictly professional! Reading about these two coming together and admitting their feelings for each other was a fantastic! I love this series and can’t wait for the next book!

Virginia “Ginny” Valentine didn’t think she could feel so connected to another person after one night of talking. The beautiful and famous country singer had everything in her life, except that personal connection. Dax Archer felt it the second he laid eyes on her. The bodyguard and former Marine knew he had to make Ginny his in every way possible. But she disappeared from his life after leaving only a note to say she’d never forget him. Ginny wants to take control of own life, create new music, and create something special with the man that consumed her every waking thought. Neither communicate their shared connection to one another which leads to misunderstandings. Ginny has not learned how to cope with distress, shuts down, and lets her mother take control of everything.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

All He Feels is my new favorite in the Crossroads Series! I absolutely loved their story. Dax is a single guy who has never had a relationship and Ginny has never had a real relationship either. Ginny wants to live her life and have some experiences with Dax. She heads out to spend time with Dax and record her new album. She wants to find connection with friends and hopefully find family. Dax is surprised to have Ginny on his door step after dreaming out her for months. Dax tries to stay professional as her bodyguard but he can't resist Ginny. Ginny wants to have the experiences that she has missed out on. A relationship, sex and intimacy with a man.
Melanie Shawn wrote an amazing book and I think this is my favorite book in the series. I can't wait till the next!

Every new book is better than the last, and the last ones were amazing! I was thrilled to see Dax and Ginny got a book. I was so intrigued by Dax's reaction to Ginny in the last book, All He Needs. Dax was struck speechless by Ginny the minute he saw her. He didn't approach her the first time but he made sure not to make that mistake twice. He never really expects to see her again but to his surprise he does...and do sparks ever fly. There were definitely a few twists that I didn't see coming, but they made the book that much better. I can't wait to see what Melanie has in store for us in the next book!

Dax and Ginny
I was hooked from the start. Melanie Shawn made the characters come alive! The chemistry was evident, the lust and love were palpable and the anguish was so real that you felt it.
Ginny took control of her life and made it what she had always wished for. She knew what she wanted and she went after it. After a lot of dancing around their feelings and Ginny's drunken confessions. Dax and Ginny finally come clean. From there it was life as experienced by a famous person.
This is a happily ever after with some twist and turns. You will be hooked from the moment Ginny shows up at Dax's door. I was!

December 30, 2016It is no surprise that I loved this book as much as I loved the other books in the Crossroad series. I love that the stories are continuing outside of the initial family. I enjoy the way one flows into the other with familiar characters who are introduced beforehand. I like the tie in with Karina Black as well.
I only put this book down long enough to celebrate Christmas and sleep, but otherwise could not put it down.
The writing is done well and the story drew me in right away. It helps that there is a puppy involved!
I absolutely cannot wait until the next book comes out. I am excited where a new character will lead and a new romance!
