So here is the skinny on the Google+ Author integration. With this on and integrated your google results will not only display like a review, but it will display the authors google+ profile.
Here is an image of what it'll look like.

Now the setup isn't that easy unfortunately. If someone sees instructions on how to do it easier please let me know :)
On the Admin side
1) First step is you need a user profile field that will allow the users to enter their Google+ ID.

2) After you have the field, and know it's ID, enter the field id into the Review Settings

On the user side
1) The user will need to enter their Google+ ID into their profile field

2) They will also need to set their profile to show they are contributors on your site (Their Google+ page, About, Edit button on Links section then add your site to their contributor list)

Once this is done, any review they add on your site that shows up in google will display their Google+ Authorship :)

Your instructions are fine and I got this to work without problems.

The only thing I would suggest to others if you are having problems finding your profile ID # it is at the end of the URL to your Google+ profile page.
 
After checking my google+ page the post is very plain. The link at the bottom does point to the review but it didn't add any content from the review itself. Should it?
