The proper way to do that: ask the author for a review copy. If they say yes, then everything is okay. If they say no, then they feel that they do not need outside promotional skills.
Besides, what you propose is just trying to justify illegal actions. Even if 10 random people picked it up because of the review, it is just as possible that they would pirate the book. It is also just as possible that those 10 random people don't exist.
