A Goodreads user asked Lisa Shea:

We should exchange reviews? Patrick

Lisa Shea Review exchanges are explicitly against the rules of pretty much every book system that is out there. A review exchange innately provides incentive for each reviewer to artificially improve what they say because they are expecting something beneficial in return.

No author should ever participate in a review exchange.

Amazon and other systems have software which actively seek out people who do review exchanges and those people can have their entire accounts removed.
