Should I read in order?
This is the first in Prior’s Claws and Cubicles series.

Basic plot:
Lily begins to help her boss, the Lich, when she realizes he’s outsourcing for things for his ritual – like a shiver across skin. She has skin after all...

Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary setting
- monster romance
- lich hero
- workplace romance with employer/employee dynamic – she works for him (secretary/personal assistant)
- never been kissed heroine
- he gifts her flowers
- medium steam – 2 full scenes in a shorter page count

Ages:
- I didn’t catch either

First line:
I never knew working at an office job would be this soul sucking.

My thoughts:
This book was SO fun! I liked it so much more than I was expecting. The writing was great and it was steamy and hilarious. My only knowledge of liches comes from fighting them in Oblivion lol and this one was so enticing once he….derobed. This made me want to read all the Kate Prior books! Super fun.

Cock/Hero Stats:

- hero is a lich and wears dark, flowing robes that always look like they are flowing through water and a cowl that hides his face
- he has a body that the heroine is shocked can fit under his cloak when she sees it – legs have an animal shape, tail, broad chest and shoulders, face is lion like with a main of hair and he has a rack of 4 large horns
- he has leathery soft skin
- clawed
- he has golden eyes
- hero has 2 cocks – 3 pronged – middle one is the longest, top one is less like a cock more like a sucker, smaller, the bottom one is almost as long as the middle cock but not as girthy

Content warnings: (This should be taken as a minimum because I could have missed some!)
