The review team pool will be quite large so I expect this to happen rarely if at all. Members of the review team will be sent books to review based on their genre preferences and author genre tags. There could also be incentives for reviewing, small amounts from each sale of a book could be given to the reviewers of the book. This will of course bait the hooligans but steps can be taken to keep them out. But weak reviews will result in weak sales/donations so any hooligan wishing to game the system by writing fraudulent reviews will find that their prior methods no longer work.
A limit on the number of books published in a certain time frame might need to be set as well, we aren't talking about a big box book website here, we are talking about a local estore.
