'My Samoan Shield' by xWritersxBlockx

The cover.

I didnt really like this cover to be honest. It feels totally different than the cover of the first book.

It feels like a picture of roman with a title on it which it probably is and even though that's also the case with the cover for 'The Truth Reigns' I felt like that cover was more of a real cover.

The title

Unlike the cover I did like the title of this book better. 'My Samoan shield' feels way more creative than 'The Truth Reigns'.

The description

Same story as with the first story, the description is way too detailed. A lot of the info in the description could have been revealed during the story instead.

The story

Okay the story starts immediately with Celeste (the main character) going into labor making the story feel rushed right away. Like you were out of ideas and that's the only thing you could come up with. I'm not saying that's the case but that's just how I feel it.

Suddenly without any indication the baby becomes almost a year. Also when she makes her comeback she has to ask her dad to watch her kid and it seems like they have completely forgiven each other out of the blue.

Then, seven years later, you write that Celeste and Roman are STILL champion. In this day and age no one keeps their championships for seven years (even with short breaks between them this would be impossible).

Now I know that in my own story 'Twist Of Life' one of the characters is champion for about 2 years so you might feel like i'm being harsh about this point but I felt like it made sense in my story and there is still a huge difference between 2 years and 7.

Being champion for 7 years would not only break all records except for the one from Bruno Sammartino, but in this day and age it doesn't matter how populair the wrestler is, if one person keeps being the champ for seven years the fans will get bored. That way the WWE would have lost countless of viewers.

Now I'm not saying this to be mean but I'm just trying to be completely honest.

I also noticed you saying at first that Celeste and Roman got married AFTER their daughter Olivia was born but when Roman told his daughters the story he told them they married BEFORE Olivia was born. If you pay attention to those things your story could be ten times better.

Besides all that the story still is really sweet and cute. So if you can see past those things I mentioned it still is really enjoyable.

My final judgement

The story really wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. It's not bad I just expected more from the sequel since I did like the first story a lot. The story is good but there are a few points that really annoyed me.

Overall this isn't my favorite story and it could definitely use some work but it does have potential.

///////////////////////
So here's the review of the sequel as promised xWritersxBlockx.
I hope I wasn't too harsh on you but I rather be honest with you instead of telling you a lie.
I did like you mentioning Nickelback in your story since I'm a big fan.
This kinda proves once again that we are basically just a different version of each other.
