@ChickLitCafe is a Pay-for-review scheme. See their website: http://www.chicklitcafe.com/p/author-platform-book-reviews.html

This is explicitly forbidden by the TOS:
Pay-for-review schemes

We forbid reviews from "pay-for-review" schemes. . .

Reviewers must not be paid for their reviews, except in free books and similar non-monetary perks.

I have, therefore, flagged the reviews: http://www.librarything.com/profile_reviews.php?view=ChickLitCafe

I've also left a comment on the profile.

Those are 'professional' reviews that people have paid for?

They read more like high school book reports.

Astonishing, isn't it, what people will pay for?

And I thought some of my reviews were bad...
