Lace
It takes a tough man to wear lace well…and an even tougher man to get close to him.
Cross-dressing Caleb has a huge chip on his shoulder that makes it impossible for anyone to get close...including his boyfriend, Levi, and the uncle he lives with. Shielded behind his bad-ass boots and leather kilts, he feels safe from the bullying and harassment he’s lived with his whole life.
It takes a bully pushing him over the edge and a kindred spirit he never expected to find to make him see that maybe it’s time to exchange the leather for a bit of lace and show his more vulnerable side.
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes with outright nasty harassment and fist fights.

About the author
Jaime Samms
105 books279 followersJaime Samms is a plaid-hearted Canadian who spends the too-long winters writing stories about love between men and the too-short summers digging in the garden. There are dust bunnies in the corners of her house—which she blames on a husky named Kai. There are dishes on the counter—which is clearly because teenagers! There is hot coffee in the pot and the occasional meal to keep her from starving—because her husband is remarkable and patient.
A multi-published author whose work has been translated into French, Italian, and German, Jaime delights in the intricate dance of words that leads her through tales of the lost and broken hearted men she writes about to the love stories that find and mend them.
And when the muse is being stubborn, she also makes pretty things with yarn and fabric scraps because in her world, no heart is too broken to love, and nothing is too worn or tired it can’t be upcycled into something beautiful. All it takes is determination and the ability to see life a little bit left of center.

Every once in a while I read a book where I think the author peeked into my life or in this case that of someone close to me. Lace blew me out of the water all I could do was read. Caleb knows he is different and all he really wants is to be loved and accepted for who he is and allowed to be that person. I watched this struggle in real life as a person that is so very, very dear to my heart went through it. Jaime Samms has captured Calvin's struggle to be himself and to find his place in the world so touchingly. He's not perfect, he doesn't do or say all the right things, neither does Levi the man who loves him so much more than he knows or understands. I cried a lot during this book but at the end they were happy tears for Caleb & Levi, for their friend Mitchell who wanted to make the world a better place for people who didn't want to be shoved into a box that they didn't belong in and for the person in my life and all those others out there who will read this story and say "Hey, I know this person." or "Oh god, this is me." It's good not to be alone in the world, even if sometimes for a while your companions are between the pages of a book Jamie Samms has created that companion for some in the pages of Lace, well done Ms. Samms, thank you.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I really liked the premise, but once I started reading it, the story turned out to be more of an angst fest with a protagonist who couldn't' communicate and just felt sorry for himself all the time. He pushed everyone away over and over and over and over and over again. He didn't listen or hear anything people told him about his inaccurate preconceptions. Frankly, he acted like a moody adolescent.
Which was weird because he was supposedly twenty-three. It made no sense for him to be that old and still an undergraduate, even with is life and how hard he found his major classes to be. For the first time ever, I think, I don't know why the MC was made to be this old. And given that, I don't understand how his uncle would know what major and classes he was actually taking.
Caleb's being such a jerk made everything so much more melodramatic in his life than it needed to be. I've been teased and harassed my whole life, and yes even by strangers who've gotten in my face, and you get used to it. It doesn't get easier or less awful, but you cope and don't destroy everything around you because of it, especially when you have not only friends, but a lover who tell you how wonderful you are and support you all the time. It has always been easier for me when I've had a partner because I had validation that I was okay the way I was. I would think that at twenty-three Caleb would have figured that out.
I was also uncomfortable with his obsession with the cross dressing. I understand his need and desire, and his feeling that he's not showing the real him or being accepted, etc., but when he is near tears because he is wearing a lace vest under his sweatshirt and he can't show it in public, I think it becomes a bit pathological. He says that he wishes wearing it were enough but it wasn't. When he thinks that, he isn't just talking about his life in general, but that very moment.
Do you know how many women are forced to wear girly clothes for work every day and abhor it? How many men have to wear suits when they're a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy and feel really uncomfortable in them? How many fat kids are forced to wear school uniforms that make them look twice as large? None of these people have choices, either, and they often look ridiculous because of it. He even admits he doesn't look bad. It wasn't even like he was uncomfortable in most of his clothes, he just wanted his lace to show. The other people I mentioned are suffering because of what they are forced to wear, not what they can't wear. Seriously, get a grip dude. I totally understand the overarching desire, but really, in the moment, chill out. He was at a sporting event where even most women were probably wearing non-lacy clothing.
His boyfriend Levi was just over the top perfect and sweet. I loved him and wanted him to be my bf. He didn't communicate that well, either, but he didn't have a big chip on his shoulder. I do wonder how he didn't know . That made no sense to me. I was also a little surprised at his reaction to .
The fashions were interesting, and I could see some as being legitimate designer stuff, although I cannot imagine how chiffon and leather would work together. Chiffon is just too flimsy a fabric.
3.5 stars rounded down because Caleb just pissed me off too much.

In 'Lace' by Jaime Samms, Caleb is gay and a cross-dresser both of which are inherent, not a choice. He loves the feel of lace against his skin, it's comfortable and comforting, yet he also loves to wear leather. He's miserable, feels alone and misunderstood. Learning how to be comfortable enough to express all sides of his character, Caleb needs to learn to trust that he's lovable and capable of loving just the way he is.
Caleb has never had the nurturing he deserves. When he tries to assert himself by coming out, his family disowns him. He goes to live with an uncle who is always trying to motivate Caleb, but he sees it as trying to control his life. Caleb is paranoid, just waiting to be attacked verbally or physically or both by anyone at any time. He's always ready for a fight and can take care of himself. Caleb always has to be in control. He can't relax and just be himself, not even with his sweet lover, Levi. He can't even trust him with his secret of loving lace for fear he will lose him. When the secrets begin to come to light, lots of things change drastically for Caleb. He is tired of hiding and deathly afraid of losing Levi forever. He finds a unique way to show his true colors not just to the whole world but, more importantly, to Levi.
Levi feels his hesitation; he knows that there are things Caleb is hiding. He believes in Caleb and loves him with his heart and soul; Levi stands with him, even trying his best to accommodate his quirks, i.e., having sex in unusual places and remaining clothed regardless of where their liaisons take place, but tries to hang in there. He adores Caleb, eccentricities and all, but he wonders if he will ever really know him. When Caleb finally shows Levi what he's been hiding, he does so in a dramatic way. The make up sex they have is beyond hot, loving, and reveals far more than either of them expects and it's all good.
Cross-dressing is a relatively new topic for me, but this book helped broaden my knowledge in this area and give me a better understanding of why someone might want to cross-dress and how it could be beneficial in ways I'd never thought about before. Through Caleb's experiences, my eyes were opened, not just about the shame and fear of rejection cross-dressing causes, but of the beneficial factors involved as well. By coming out as a cross-dresser, Caleb is able to be truthful about himself and not have to hide anything; that alone is a positive step toward being happy and healthy.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes a meaningful story with a different twist from the usual romance while reminding us that the best thing is to be true to ourselves. Thanks, Jaime, for the entertainment and education.

This was an ok read, even it was a little confusing at times. A bit too much thrown at us and not developed enough. What threw me for a bit was that Caleb and Levi were in an established relationship of a year and a half. I wasn’t expecting that from the blurb but went with it.
I liked the themes this story approached: self acceptance and trust in a relationship, even if I wasn’t so mad about the main character. Oddly, I really loved Levi, who’s not so present in this story and found Caleb kind of a selfish and confused kid. He is so afraid to be who he truly is that he builds an iron wall around himself that prevents people from reaching him. Which is sad. Instead he keeps this tough façade and lashes out at everybody. This is to be understood since he’s struggling with abandonment issues but he takes it a step further. He’s so scared of revealing himself that he denies those who love him a chance at showing him acceptance. He’s kind of a coward that decides for them that he is not worthy of being loved and pushes them away. This is hard to see in his relationship with Levi who’s really a sweetheart, but who is not given the benefit of the doubt. Instead, Caleb decides Levi couldn’t possibly understand and accept him. It’s hard to even call it a relationship since Caleb holds so much of himself back.
What I truly didn’t like was the whole thing with his uncle/father/mother/ that was just confusing. The uncle is a bad guy or a good guy, or a misunderstood guy whom Caleb denied a chance at a relationship…… Maybe it was too much drama for 100 pages.
And, to be completely honest, regarding the cross dressing issues…..I didn’t truly see it as this huge secret. Or maybe the author hasn’t sold me on it being a huge problem.
In my opinion, Caleb had only one problem: his inability to trust those close to him. To trust that they will truly see and love the real him. Luckily for him, they did!

OK...I read it...I didn't hate it...
I discovered that I enjoyed reading about it...a lot more than having to look at it!
Actually, this story was quite enlightening...it really got to the heart of the matter of the need that some men have to "cross dress"...which is not the issue for me...mine is the "undie" issue! ;P
What a person chooses to wear in this day and age should be just that...a personal choice! I wear jeans, pants and such and no one gives it a thought...(what I wear under is only between me and my husband!)...but let a man put on a dress or a skirt and the world just comes to a stop and they just stand and stare! How silly is that when you think about it!
Even though I would have liked to have seen better editing in this story...over all it was a very well written story of a young man who couldn't find a place for himself in this world...because he was afraid to show his "true" self...even to those who loved him. Trust is hard to establish when fear out weighs all other emotions...and this was the lesson that Caleb had to learn! Levi was his "rock" and his one love...but his fear of losing him, if Levi ever discovered his true "self"...stopped him from trusting in Levi's love enough to show him who he truly was. It is amazing though, that with the help of some pushy and some times, very colorful friends what a very fearful, but strong young man can come to realize is the truth in his life!
I may not be a fan of this genre, but I can definitely understand and agree with the principal of the idea of "freedom of choice" and "choice without persecution"!
(But for my own peace of mind...I will always picture a nice pair of boxer briefs under those wonderful dresses and skirts!!!)

Man, talk about mother of all emotion whiplashes.
Sheesh, what the hell was going on?
Also, do colleges even have Student Councils? (Edit: it seems they have a Student Board, which is kind of like a Student Council but has even vaguer duties and powers)
And Caleb was a 5-year-old in 1st grade??? Talk about early bloomer...
It just didn't work for me. I know that Caleb's grudge-against-the-world thing is kind of the point, but it just didn't work for me.
I just didn't didn't find Caleb to be endearing regardless of whatever.
Yes, I get that Caleb's such a jackass because he had a shitty past and can't allow himself to trust, but (and this is very Sartre of me, yes, but I believe his point is valid) seriously, one's past does not determine one's actions. It's always a conscious choice of the moment.
I just can't buy into his whole "I had a shitty past, therefore I'm entitled the hate the world and lash out at the slightest excuse of an impetus" mentality.
Again, I get that that was the point. That, however, did not serve to mitigate the situation in any way, shape, or fashion.
I still found Caleb incredibly exasperatingly annoying. Like the stupid prick I might have wanted to support if he weren't such a bigoted jackass in the other polar direction.

This review was originally written for The Romance Reviews and can also be found there.
I'm quite glad authors are writing more about cross-dressing in their books lately, especially when those books are well written and kinky reviewers like me have plenty of fuel for our demanding imagination.
LACE turned out to be everything I'd expected, from an insecure student with issues to the larger subject of being accepted for who you are and not for what you wear. The author did an amazing job of incorporating all of the character's touchy spots into a bigger picture and she did it with enough sympathy it really wasn't a problem for me to enjoy this story.
Caleb is a gay man who likes to dress up. He's not one of those men who can hide his preference, like his boyfriend Levi can, so he hides his even more unordinary desires and satisfies himself by just wearing a bit of lace underneath his clothes. Caleb is a target for a local bully who doesn't really give him any breathing space and keeps harassing him, but Caleb isn't one to just walk away. He has an aggressive streak in him and reacts to provocations with violence. It's not just about words with him, he's used to being rejected, by his father, his uncle and the society in general, so letting someone in to the person behind the tough exterior is something Caleb doesn't think he can do, not even for his boyfriend Levi, who he desperately doesn't want to lose.
I loved this story, especially Caleb with both his insecurities and low self-worth as well as his aggressive side where he wasn't afraid to stand his ground and show teeth. For me he was a true star and it rubbed me the wrong way that he had to basically crawl for Levi. I know Levi wasn't a bad guy, but even at the beginning of the story I secretly hoped the bully would turn around and end up the perfect guy for Caleb instead of Levi. Yes, the guy never sat well with me, and as the story progressed I honestly liked him even less and couldn't agree with his attitude or his point of view at all.
LACE was a great book—wonderful writing with an amazing subject and this was almost perfect for me. While this author's work is mostly excellent or completely off the mark for me, I still dare to recommend you try one of her books, you might turn out to be a fan.

To be perfectly honest I'm struggling a little with this one. I think it's a combination of not being able to really connect with the characters which is throwing me off this story.
I really don't know what to make of Caleb. He doesn't inspire a lot of sympathy in me, even though I know he has his reasons for some of his behaviour. And honestly, Levi isn't much better. Together they are really a hot mess.
There seemed to be a lot going on in a short amount of time. I feel it was rushed and unfortunately that never works well with me.
But overall, it wasn't a bad read at all. Just didn't suit me at this particular point in time, I fear.

I'm not a big fan of cross dressing books but this one just hit it right on the money.
You have Tyler, a emotionally scarred young man paying his way through music school by participating in sex parties. Then we have Haris, also an emotionally scarred older business man, trying to control everything in his world to prevent being hurt again.
They meet in an odd way and we see the the relationship grow through angst, betrayal, jealousy, mistrust, hope and love. Truly a worth while read.
