Hi James – in fact at RRBC we expressly advocate honest reviews, even critical ones if done in a constructive light as feedback, good or bad help all authors. 🙂 This is in compliance with Amazon guidelines for book reviews, which are slightly different form other product review policy.
Review swaps (like for like) are therefore frowned on within the club – our catalog is there to introduce authors work to the world, and our membership is encouraged to take their pick of what appeals and from the list of Books of the Month selections, and review those on their own terms and enjoyment levels.
As long as the members aren’t exchanging reviews on Amazon. That’s expressly forbidden according to their new rules.
