This whole series is a must read and we know you will be hooked and hog-tied which is why LiteraryScape gave Strategic Plan by Lynn Shannon 2.75 lassos! The just under 3 lassos comes from Tiffanie’s rating. She is not a fan of suspense but agreed that Lynn wrote the book so well she couldn’t put it down.

(1 lasso – throw and a miss, 2 lassos – hooked, 3 lassos – hooked and hog tied)
