Signs of Desire (Desires Entwined Book 4) Kindle Edition
Simon Tyler knows his job as a gay romance author makes his lack of faith in love more than a little ironic, but he’s tired of being used for his wallet. When a night out turns into a matchmaking scheme orchestrated by his best friends, Simon’s not thrilled, but since he’s not the target and he’s sworn off happily-ever-after anyway, he goes along with it… until he meets Adrian, the object of their efforts, and finds perhaps he hasn’t given up on love after all.
Professor Adrian Keys has tried to date Hearing men before, but being Deaf himself, he’s never had any success at making a connection. After his friends con him into going out and Adrian realizes it’s all an elaborate plan to set him up, he braces for yet another failure, only to discover there is a spark—except it’s not with the man his friends had in mind, but with Simon Tyler instead.
Not all their friends have found a way past their romantic failures, but Simon and Adrian might be on the path to happily-ever-after.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2019Love the saying that the author said hear not disabled differently able ! Love that so many times we as a people look at what others can't do we forget to look at what they can do!!! This is a great story of people learning together and about others ! That love comes in different packages and can sneak up on you ! Love at times is very much something you have to work for ! Story is great I learned a lot in the story as well ! Love that !
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015I've been a fan of this series since the start but I had a hard time getting Simon and Adrian to connect for me. I just didn't feel the connection. I wanted it to be there so very bad. But I loved the story. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2016I do like that Tempeste O'Riley is so inclusive of differing types of people, sexualities and abilities. The execution can leave a lot to be desired, though. I kept losing interest with this story and struggled to finish. There was no real plot line to follow. Too many details were used about exactly what clothes they wore, what food menu they cooked, what color car they had. Also, the business with Simon's sister and family was quite pointless. I guess it was supposed to highlight Simon's insecurities. Simon's character seemed very immature. Adrien's wasn't much better and both were very bland. I was irritated by the capitalizing of the words hearing and deaf. Also, I wanted to see the subject of lip reading handled better. Lip reading is more like trying to catch enough words to extrapolate the meaning of something spoken. It was made to seem too easy. My cousin is deaf and when she was young, lip reading and speaking out loud was stressed as a way to make someone deaf seem more "normal". It can actually make life more difficult for them. There are some people, like Adrien's character that are able to handle it better for. Anyway, I didn't dislike it completely, but it wasn't always an enjoyable read.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015Adrian and Simon's story...beautifully written, I love how she creates these amazing characters that we fall in love with. Both having to overcome their fears and learn to believe in themselves and each other. Surrounded by the love of their friends, we get to visit the guys and see how their lives are going as well. I just can't say enough about the series!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2015A fan of the series, especially the first book, I really enjoyed Signs of Desire. Each story in this series involves couples who really have to go the extra mile to be together--but it's always worth reading to follow their journey. The main characters for this book have one very important difference; Simon can hear but Adrian is deaf.
Both men have had a spotty record dating. Simon is a romance author who can't seem to find it himself. His trouble finding a man who wants him for him has led to a writing block, and he lets that push him into accepting an invite from friends to get away from the blinking cursor on a blank page. Adrian, a successful man who has put a phenomenal effort into fitting into "normal" society, has only found men who end up frustrated putting up with his inability to hear.
But Simon's different, or at least Adrian hopes he is. But can Adrian overcome the distrust that pushes him into punishing Simon for some of his past boyfriend's mistakes? Can Simon believe Adrian can care about him--just him--for no other reason? What happens when they both face hatred and discrimination for things they can't change; will it pull them closer or tear them apart?
As always, Tempeste has written a story that tugged at my heartstrings. I really cared about Adrian and Simon, and I was rooting for them to make it as a couple. The story has angst, but it's believable and realistic for a contemporary story; just enough to create conflict without being overdone. My biggest complaint is the completely random grammar call to capitalize Hearing and Deaf to describe people in the story. It felt wrong because those words are not proper nouns, yet they're being used that way to segregate characters based on a physical ability or lack thereof. A person is hearing or deaf--but that isn't who they are--so giving the words that level of import felt like it was deliberate to create a schism between the groups which didn't work for me as a reader. While that might work with another plot, Adrian doesn't want his partner to view him as incapable or capable based on whether or not he can hear, so to have him think that way in the writing was hypocritical.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2016This book was the second of its kind i have read. The author did a fairly good job at portraying the hardships of loving the disabled. They struck a good balance between the two concepts. The book focused on the love of the story as well as the disability, so it wasn't about one or the other but how they work together.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2015I love all the books. This one hit very close to home for me. The love and support within the group is how people should be. Great storyline and writing as you expect from Tempeste. Well worth the read
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2016Loved it. So sweet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super
Super 4. Teil der Reihe. Sowohl Adrian als auch Simon kannte man ja schon aus den vorherigen Büchern und es zeichnete sich ja schon ab, dass die Beiden ein Paar werden würden. Mit hat auch dieses Buch wieder sehr gut gefallen. Es ist toll geschrieben, gut zu lesen und die Gruppe der Freunde ist einfach sympathisch. Es ist schön, dass man immer wieder erfährt wie sich die Paare aus den vorherigen Büchern weiterentwickeln.
