When I first saw this book I thought "NOOOOO! There is another woman coming between Dalton and Peaches???" but then I started reading and realised Ursula was introduced in Starlight as Keith's pseudo housekeeper.
In this quick read, Peaches is feeling a little disheartened when Dalton goes out of his way to dissuade Peaches from coming to the studio to watch him record new episodes of One Vamp To Love.
With the help of Mitchell, Ursula is revived and Peaches is going to get into the studio and see her husband perform...even if its under the guise of her alter ego Ursula.
Written in the class Mimi Strong style, Peaches as sassy as ever and a story full of drama, passion and the Ms Strong wit! Gotta Love a Mimi Strong Adventure!

re: The Return of Ursula- love, love, love Peaches and Dalton. This cute little novella continues the story nicely. It gives us a peek at the couple showing how they're transitioning but isn't a throw away or side thought. It's follows in the same vein of the previous parts. Funny, romantic, thoughtful, easy to relate to.

This was ok - didn't like Peaches acting like Lucy and Ethel (Mitchell). But, it was nice to catch up.
So, Connor and Shayla? Can't wait.

FINALLY!
A glimpse of the real Dalton fucking Deangelo.
This short made me actually believe the ending of Starfire .
I'll miss these two so much.

Dalton may be an actor but sometimes he doesn't say the right things to Peaches. She is still hilarious, outrageous and downright awesome. When she gets a hair up her butt to see Dalton in action, you can just imagine the trouble she gets into. Thank you Mimi Strong for giving us more Peaches I don't think I will ever get enough of her.
Quotes:
"Hey, sexy stranger. You'd better get off my property. You're trespassing. My wife is meeting me here any minute, and she's got a really bad temper. She'll spray you down with a garden hose, or punch you some new freckles, whatever that means."
"The fire of my lust started up deep inside, and Miss Kitty got very interested in everything he was doing."
" 'And what work do you do for your boss, Ursula?'
'I make the food in the blender. I make the laundry. And sometimes when he sad, I put the hand in the pants and pull and pull until we make more laundry.' "

I was thrilled to read more about Peaches and Dalton her Vampire actor husband. I love some comedy with my romance and Mimi strong really knows how to write funny touching stories. This is a quick chapter about 40 pages of the new marriage and the return to life in Dalton's house in California. Dalton states he doesn't want Peaches on the set of his TV show and Peaches is hurt and confused by this. A plan is hatched in perfect Peaches fashion and the result is a funny look at a day in the life of Peaches and Dalton.

This short little story of about 40 pages is like a light and sweet dessert. It's got the right amount of sass and story to whet your appetite without tying you up for hours when you only have time for a nibble. I don't know why I'm using food references, but there you have it. And that last chapter is the maraschino cherry on top of the hot fudge sundae. Perfect! I understand THE RETURN OF URSULA is part of an anthology "LOL Volume #1 Thirteen All-New Romantic Comedy Stories" available now for just $.99. If the 12 other stories are as luscious as this one, it will be worth the purchase price.

Very short and sweet little read. As always it's a pleasure to read Mimi's work and again she did not disappoint with her humor and wit. It was also so very nice to read characters that I have missed. I love Dalton and he makes the world amazing. I love seeing more Peaches and Dalton. The two are a sweet and perfect couple and I simply adored this read. It was nice to watch their relationship blossom into so much more than what it started. And this gave us even more. Thank you for more, Meems :-)

A homerun again! Love this author and her books! This short story of Peaches and Dalton now that they are married had me rolling on floor laughing again. Loved Mitchell helping Peaches into see her husband on set of his Vampire TV series taping. When you need a great story that not only makes you laugh but feel over whelming joy this is the Author you should read! Thank you Mimi Strong for making my night!

Well Peaches is up to her old tricks and I love it. I still don't like Dalton. Mimi Strong has an ability to write fun characters and characters that are not likable. I love Peaches and her silliness. Peaches is fun, hysterical and lovable. This takes place after the wedding and kind of fills in what happened right after the wedding. In my opinion it is worth reading if you have read the Peaches Monroe Trilogy.

Fun, sexy & sassy read! For those of us that fell in love with Peaches & Dalton this short story was like a visit from a good friend. How I missed these characters! Hoping for future stories down the road.

Looking for something short, sexy and totally fun? Jump in and meet Ursula, Peaches Monroe's alter ego. She will have you laughing as she navigates marriage with her hot actor husband while getting herself into trouble along the way. A fabulous addition to the Peaches stories.

Peaches !!!!
O how I love Peaches. This was a short story about Dalton and Peaches life after the wedding. I want more so maybe Mimi Strong will do a story for Shayla and Connor so we can have more Peaches. This series is so funny and HOT you will love it.

A few pages in and I still think Peaches is one of the dumber female characters I've read about. Granted I only read her first book and I have no idea how she ended up marrying Dalton, I would find any reason hard to believe. But we are talking about Peaches so I shouldn't expect much

If you've read books 1-3, then you have to read this short story. It's short and sweet and it actually gives you some insight into what happens at the ending of book 3, which we all have to know especially if you've read book 3. No brainer.

Best books since Fifty Shades Of Grey.
I love this book and all of the Peaches books. I read all of the books. I just couldn't put them down. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good story. I would love for there to be a sequel.
