As for personal? Well, one can certainly use or not use email for whatever they want, but if the OP has the guy's email address, I presume it was put out there and expected to be used for communication. Assuming the OP didn't hack the guy or go dumpster diving or something to get it.
Me, personally, I would have emailed the guy something like:
"I was very impressed by your thoughtful review of the first book, and I learned much from your critique. I'd like you to have this eARC of the sequel."

That's an excellent way to dispel any kind of 'creep' or 'stalker' notion that might come into play, and reinforces the respect that the author would have for that reviewer.
