Knowing she is meant to be his, Ten can’t wait to make her his bride. The future seems bright until happiness slips through their fingers like grains of sand.
When all seems hopeless, sometimes all we have left is our dreams. Ten can only believe what his eyes can see, what his ears can hear.

Now both Tennessee and Molly must learn to place their faith in one another, to hold fast to love and trust their hearts.
Their journey back to love will be one you’ll never forget.

Futher adventures into the lives of the Mcoy family of Texas.This Ten's and Mollie's story and it is beautiful and sad .This was a story of insta lust turned love,turned heartbreaker.
The book takes the reader from the moment they met ,all fluffy sappy romance to the heartbreak of mistrust,deception,and divorce ,to comming full circle as a couple once again.
I must admit that the first part of the story all love and sweet ness had me turning the page faster to get to the angst part of the story which took place at the halfway mark,then it really became interesting and I was hooked into the storyline.
After Ten believes the love of his life cheated,lied and betrayed him,he tells her he wants a divorce and leaves her.Mollie heartbroken,job lost,and working doubke shifts in a diner faints and is taken to the ER.News....she is pregnant,now she has to tell Ten who by this time is her ex husband.At first,he denies the baby is his and demanded a paternity test which proved he is indeed the baby daddy.Ten comes to see Mollie,again she faints and is taken to the ER,after the DR has told them that Mollie and baby's health are in danger,he takes her back home to the family ranch.
But old feelings which never died,comes to the surface again and this couple tries to cope with all the mistrust and perceptions that broke them as a couple.
I liked that the hero stayed faithful to the heroine even though they were only divorced for a few short months before being together again.He did attempt at one point to have sex with a ons,but he could not follow thru as all he saw was the heroine.
Enjoyable read,can be read as a standalone from the prior books imo.Some sexy ,hot scenes which is always a bonus and the imagery of the hero looking like Joe Manginello,well...hello Mister!!

Started out slow
I had a hard time getting into the story and was just about to give it up when all the drama began. The H Ten was no 10 to me. He was a major jerk. He divorced her without even attempting to find the truth. Spoilers may be ahead.
Then he almost slept with another woman but he couldn't do it once she was naked in the bed!!! It hadn't even been two months. And then he discovers the truth and it's like oh geez I was wrong. Let's go to bed. Omg. He was just nuts. Too much angst almost and then there was a crazy twist at the end that came out of left field. Strange but I finished it. Wasn't sure they would have an HEA but they did. Now will it last?? They probably have one chance out of 'Ten'!

if i can dream
I didn't like the hero at all, she forgave him way to easily and i don't think he did anything to earn forgiveness. She said something like you believed a man who hates you over the woman that loved you, that sums it up for me, he's an idiot!
Also she was mixed race yet the girl on the cover is whiter than he is, i hate that! If your going to represent characters in your cover, get them to match your actual descriptions especially when you use her race as a way to plot the story.

I don’t think the book fully earned all the 1 or 2 star ratings but it’s all in the opinion of the reader
Ten is a giant dick for not believing his wife and continued to be such dick until the lies were proven. Sadly the fact he started thinking she may not have committed such vile things was over shadowed each time by him being a giant dick.
Molly seems to be wishy washy...she is brave and confident one minute and then unsure and scared the next.
The book is not a favorite and yes the author missed the mark if she wanted a hero we all loved but again, my opinion

The moment Tennessee McCoy lays eyes on Molly Reyes he is attracted to her. There is some friction with a lot of sizzle. That friction will lead to a whirlwind courtship and marriage. But their happily ever after will be thrown a curve ball by forces put in place with misleading accusations and devastating effects.

"If I Can Dream" is the story of Molly and Tennessee.
Horrible hero.
Hero gets smitten with the heroine after a chance banterful encounter. Basically, after a whirlwind courtship, they fall in love and get married.
However catty OW/ OM plan to separate them and succeed.
Honestly, 80% of the book is the hero NOT trusting the heroine, making accusations and not even trusting the paternity of his own child. Cant believe she forgave him that fast even though he barely apologized.
Safe
1.5/5

Awesome book.
Molly and Tennessee certainly make this an interesting story. You will laugh and cry and sit on The edge of your chair.
I have read Ms. Hunters books before and always enjoy the way she wraps you up from page one. If you are looking for a change of pace from your normal reads, than I recommend this book.

Seriously? This is why men continue being assholes. She should have made him do a serious walk of shame, and pay for a good long time. What a fucked up message to send - be an asshole for a good long time and you can still get your heart's desire.
Honestly? I don't think I would have gotten back together with the jerk.

Tennessee met Molly when he went to find a missing man. It took a lot of convincing but they got married. A jealous woman and a man set on vengeance ruined that.
Tennessee finds out the truth, but Molly is so hurt he will have his work cut out for him.
Will they catch the man responsible? Will Molly give them a second chance?

Sable Hunter has done it again, written a book that pulls you in from the beginning, tugs at your emotions, and doesn't let go until the last page is turned. This is another book in the Hell Yeah! series, and all I can say is Hell Yeah! Tennessee McCoy and Molly Reyes are drawn to each other from the first moment they lay eyes on each other. Molly is alone in life, with the exception of a few friends. She is a hard worker, who doesn't ask anyone for anything, preferring to take care of herself as best as she can. Enter Tennessee, a McCoy who knows what he wants and is not afraid to go after it, he wants Molly to be his, and in a short period of time, she is his wife. Up until now, everything is wonderful, but Ten forgets about a little thing called trust, and when Molly needs him to trust her the most, he turns his back on her. Oh man, Sable Hunter sure did a number on me with that one, I wanted to scream at him, and knock some sense into him. I tried screaming, but Tennessee did not listen, lol. Anyway, you have to read this book to see if Ten can possibly redeem himself with Molly. It was great to catch up with Heath and Cato, also Philip, Jaxson, Ryder and Pepper. I eagerly await any book about the McCoys, and if you have not read any of this series yet, this would be a great book to start with. As for me I don't ever want to see this series end, this people feel like family.

Sable Hunter – If I Can Dream – (Hell Yeah! – Book 18)
Tennessee McCoy meets Molly Reyes and falls instantly in lust. They have a whirlwind romance and he makes her his bride within days. When someone shows him proof that Molly is not in love with him but is sabotaging his business plans, he leaves her. Molly finds out she’s pregnant and lets Tennessee know. He isn’t even sure it is the truth and insists on proof and DNA tests.
Molly can’t believe that Tennessee believes that she doesn’t love him with her whole heart. She would never do any of the things that Tenn believes she did. Now she is pregnant, sick, and must find a new job in another town. She will do whatever it takes to support her baby even though she has “no” money, she will just work harder.
With all the money the McCoy’s have, Tenn could have hired people to find out what is going on. It is not believable, to me, that with all the money the McCoy’s have, Tenn could have hired people to find out what is really going on. But, Tennessee abandon's Molly, annuls the marriage and walks away.
Will these two “soul mates” be able to find the truth and make the journey back to what they had before?

Not A Ten, And the Least McCoy of the McCoys
Ten and Molly confuse instalust with instalove, and it costs them both..but because Molly is the less-advantaged, and a woman of color, Ten's decisions impact her to a much greater degree than they affect him. He is my least favorite McCoy, because he doesn't dive into a protective love, but a greedy, carnal love. He presses his advantage, and the resulting events do more to reinforce Molly's fears and preconceptions than they do to alleviate her concerns. Even his redemption feels easy, and weak, compared to what got the couple to crisis point in the first place.
I love Hunter's books, and this family, but I was very disappointed in Tennessee as a character, and by the McCoys in general. Molly didn't deserve to have so little support throughout the story and her capacity for forgiveness is beyond. She honestly seems to feel like she deserves the treatment she gets for being Different- poor, mixed-race, fatherless, compared to a pure and tightly-knit McCoy clan. Found 3-4 typos, mostly additional or missing "Ds" at the end of words.

DNF bec Ten is a douche. Class A Douchebag.
Spoiler Alert!
Here's why
“You didn’t trust me.” Molly said simply, her heart breaking. “You said you loved me, but you believed the worst about me without even giving me a chance to defend myself.”
“Molly?” He didn’t know what to say. “Please, Molly.”
“I begged you to believe me, I got down on my knees and begged you.” Tears were streaming down her face now. “You didn’t trust me then, Tennessee. I don’t know if I can trust you now.”
Oh, so NOW he wants to work things out? NOW he wants to get back together? What the eff ever. He was so horrible, i mean HORRIBLE, to Molly and when he finds out he was the one who made the mistake all he does is say Sorry. And expects Molly to forgive him and for them to be back together (Cuz he's horny and wants sex)
Molly, girl, if i were you I'd have made HIM kneel and kicked his face while we was kneeling. A jerk who easily believes somebody elses words over his own wife does not deserve said wife! Leave that asshat!
NOT ENOUGH GROVELING
ALL TOO FORGIVING (Bordering on stupid) HEROINE

Loved this book, was so great to finally see an author make a man work for forgiveness of his treatment of the woman he loves, after breaking her heart and trust so badly. Too many authors write this similar storyline but once the male apologises the woman just folds and forgives him, forgetting he broke her heart and trust. Which as everyone know would not happen in really life, if the man of our hearts treated us that's way and broke our heart, than found out the truth and asked for forgiveness we'd all make him bend over backwards and beg for our forgiveness, and we'd always be wary of them from than on. Sable Hunter has captured the real life of a relationship in this story and it is awesome.Made me cry, laugh, sigh, and cheer throughout the book. Love it like all the other Hell Yeah books, keep them coming Sable cant wait to hear more about the McCoy's families.

'If I Can Dream' (Hell Yeah Book ) by Sable Hunter is a fantastic read. This is the story of Tennessee "Ten" McCoy and Molly Reyes. This is a wonderful addition to the Hell Yeah Series. I loved getting to know Tennessee and Molly. This story is packed full of action, romance, passion, and emotional ups and down. I found myself laughing, getting teary eyed, crying, and definitely fanning myself. WOW! An excellent addition to the Hell Yeah Series! It was great catching up with Heath and Cato, getting to know a little more about Philip, Jaxson, Ryder and Pepper. I'm looking forward to reading what happens next with one of my favorite series. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, cowboys, close families, and amazing series.

You need to know this is one of a few "go to" authors where I don't even read the blurb before purchasing, If there's a new story out there I'm getting it. So you won't be surprised if I say this is one of Sable Hunters best, Tennessee and Molly's story plays seriously with the readers emotions. Sable has a gift of grabbing the reader pretty much from the first paragraph, and then you're lost to the book. Read it, read the series, if you love quality writing, real people, real life style second to none, you'll be yelling "hell yeah" at the end of each book!

Another great story by the Talented Sable Hunter. In the previous book we get a glimpse of ten and his fracture relationship with Ms. Molly. This book we get to see why he had a hard time not letting go and at the same time trusting. I'm so glad Ten and Molly got their HEA, I love all the stories but I liked this one better because Ten found himself as well as the girl. Can't wait to read more about the McCoy cousins.

Hmmm...
This is the first Sable Hunter book I have ever givin' under 4 stars too.
Why? Because I seriously wanted to smack the shit outta the hero. Now I love me some McCoy boys big time!
It's usually the heroine that makes me wanna strangle her.
I liked the story, but I had a hard to time with Ten..

Truth or lie
This is one of Sable's best. Love at first sight for Tennessee and Molly. Fast marriage even faster divorce. Great love story that gets you caught up in lies and the truth. This is a must read if you love the Hell Yeah series!

HELL YEAH
More of the McCoys. Who can go past that?
When a McCoy falls they fall fast and hard but their stubborn, hard headed nature can often get in the way and it wasn't any different for Tennessee when fell for Molly.
