Four out of five stars, and a lot of very nice comments about the writing and the characters. Hooray! It looks like the story is in the process of being released at this very moment and is already available as of this afternoon through All Romance Ebooks, Smashwords, as well as direct from the publisher. EDIT: The book is also available now from Amazon Kindle and Barnes&Noble.

His Whipping Boy by J.A. Jaken Novella (15,500 words) Genre(s): Fantasy, Gay, Romance Cedric de Breos was an average son from an average farmer’s family before he was chosen—by royal decree—to befriend Alain Tomolia, the solemn and enigmatic crown prince of Dunn. As Cedric dutifully pursues their strange friendship, he begins to suspect that Alain is haunted by a dark secret, one which has its roots sunk deep in the crown prince’s past. Cedric’s situation is complicated by the gradual realization that his intended purpose is not only to serve as companion to the crown prince but also as his surrogate in the whipping yard, taking the punishment for Alain’s misdeeds. Will Cedric find a way to come to terms with the resentment, pity, curiosity, and reluctant attraction he feels toward the crown prince, or will he allow the circumstances around them to command their fate?
