Under no circumstance do I buy or not buy a book based on "reader" reviews at, for example, Smashwords (unless I happen to know the reviewer) or Amazon.

It just so happens, for those interested, that this is the topic of discussion at my blog today (Book Reviews & Reviewers: Deciding Which Reviews to Trust) and last week (The Missing Ingredient: Quality Control in Indie eBooks).
hmmm...i guess it's harder to find quality reviews for m/m work but i usually look at a lot, though it really just boils down to the grammar, for me. like i said, i'm an easy reader to please. it's just that incorrect grammar makes it harder to really get into the story.
