Book: Capture the Moment

Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release date: May 6, 2025

Kate Cunningham is facing the opportunity of a lifetime. As a zoo photographer, she’s spent years photographing animals in carefully controlled environments, but now National Geographic has dangled an irresistible prize: If Kate can snag a unique photo of a legendary bear in Grand Teton National Park, they just might publish it. It’s the kind of challenge Kate has been waiting for, and she’s eager to prove herself in the wild.

With more enthusiasm than experience, Kate soon realizes that capturing an image of this bear isn’t as simple as she hoped. Fortunately, she crosses paths with Grant Cooper, a seasonal park ranger who knows the terrain–and the bears–better than anyone. His tracking skills could be exactly what Kate needs to succeed, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes. But they’re not the only ones with an interest in the park’s most famous bear. And his motives are far from innocent.

A Spark that Lit a Story 

By Suzanne Woods Fisher

Capture the Moment (Revell—May 6, 2025)

Inspiration can strike in the most unexpected places—like a gift shop in Grand Teton National Park. While browsing, I struck up a conversation with a college student who had never set foot outside Alabama until her mom dropped her off for a summer job in the park. One minute, she was home in the Deep South; the next, she was surrounded by towering peaks and moose crossings. Talk about a culture shock.

That conversation lit a spark that eventually became my National Parks Summers series. I couldn’t stop thinking about the fascinating mix of people who work seasonally in national parks. You’ve got fresh-faced college kids on their first big adventure, retirees finally living their bucket-list dreams, and everyone in between. These parks aren’t just natural wonders—they’re crossroads for people from all walks of life, all chasing something unique.

In Capture the Moment, I wanted to explore what happens when people and landscapes collide. Kate Cunningham, a determined zoo photographer, swaps enclosures for the wilds of Grand Teton, chasing an elusive bear and her own sense of purpose. Along the way, Kate meets Grant Cooper, a rugged park ranger with a knack for tracking and a talent for keeping her on her toes.

National parks are more than just beautiful backdrops—they’re places where people find themselves, lose themselves, and sometimes stumble into something extraordinary.

Maybe even love.

MY REVIEW

This book is a wonderful look at what it is like to work at a National Park. I have driven through one but never really stayed at any. I’m not a big fan of camping but my husband loves it. It was so interesting to learn about the animals there and especially the elusive bear everyone wants to take a picture of.  With all the tourists it is hard to keep everything running smoothly. The book made me appreciate Park Rangers so much more. 

Kate is at the park to capture the perfect picture to hopefully start a promising career. I didn’t like how other photographers were treating her. They were making fun of her working in a zoo, but Kate  sure knows about the animals much better than they do. I am hoping   she succeeds and gets her chance to be in a famous photographer. Kate is trying so hard to fit in but  just like all her life it isn’t working out. 

Coop has his hands full as a Park Ranger. He tries to keep the tourists safe along with the wild animals. I wonder if the tourists remember they are in the animals habitat? I’m pretty sure the animals would like them all to leave. I appreciate how Coop befriends Kate  but they do run into a mystery. Is someone out there wanting to hurt the elusive bear?

 I didn’t like Tim’s stepdaughter  Thea  at all. She is thoughtless when it comes to her daughter and dumps her on Tim. He is  understanding but he wants the best for his  stepdaughter and her daughter Maisie.  A stable environment would be nice. I love when Tim  tells Thea that, “only God can give a person a new beginning.” 

I loved the excitement surrounding a poacher. Someone is out to do harm and Coop and Kate may be in the middle of  danger. The author delivers a book filled with adventure, faith, mystery and wonderful characters. I enjoyed watching Coop and Kate  both grow emotionally and let go of their  past hurts. 

Anger is mentioned in the story that illustrates how not letting go of bitterness can cause someone to have a hard time forgiving. A  beautiful story that shares the beauty of nature as well as the unconditional love of God. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
