Love, Laugh, Lich (Claws & Cubicles, #1)
Kate Prior
Some people have monsters for a boss, but not everyone has an undead Necromancer Lord at the office. Lily has been the Lich's secretary ever since his evilness took over the company. She loves her job, but she's got some questions about her boss. Like what's under that cloak of ever-billowing. Her wondering intensifies when one day the Lich needs something from her that isn't just scheduling appointments-- but a shiver. He needs it for a spell, but it feels like it crosses a line from their usual workplace banter. After her contributions to his dark rituals become more than OSHA compliant, sex-magic-and-triple-cocks-oh-my, she starts to contemplate whether the Lich Lord returns her feelings, or still only sees her as his secretary. Lily may have given him her body, but he never asked for her heart.

-Lily is the Necromantic Overlord’s secretary, and after she agrees to help him with a spell, she can’t stop thinking about him in a sexual way.
[Then she gives him her first kiss, but at the wrong moment, and so she gives him another ‘moment of vulnerability’ via her virginity. So starts their weird relationship of sexy times but minimal communication.]
-Was too short and underdeveloped, it was hard to believe or understand why Lily was pining after her boss. The situation was vaguely steamy (weird peen aside) but it didn’t really deliver on the romance or any emotional development. In the end it didn’t feel like it had anywhere to really go.
Fun idea and setting, not well executed, and it was the connection between the characters that was missing. Maybe including the main male character’s POV could have helped.
