Synopsis (Goodreads):

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.

Thoughts on Love, Laugh, Lich: An office romance between a Lich (who also happens to be the Dark Lord of the office) and a human woman (his very competent secretary). I honestly didn't know what to expect when I started, but YESSSSS. Soven and Lily worked for me.

Sure, Soven has that whole billowing cloak, Dark Lord thing going for him, but he's careful with Lily. Yeah, there might have been a little miscommunication going on, but they also had to navigate the whole boss/employee dynamic. Really, all it took for things to REALLY start moving forward was one little case of Lily seeing Soven naked and ALL BETS WERE OFF.

To be fair, Lily liked the big guy before the nakedness. His non-standard anatomy was just the cherry on top. Again, the whole workplace dynamic was probably harder for them to work around than his need for spell components. Because even an evil boss needs to be careful when it comes to workplace romances.

A little evilness, a vulnerable moment or two, naughty times, and one seriously beleaguered HR rep. HEH. *thumbs up*
