Capture the Moment by Suzanne Woods Fisher

About the Book

Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Genre: Contemporary Romance

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 Thoughts

Capture the Moment by Suzanne Woods Fisher is the first novel in the National Parks Summers series. The author transports readers the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions which allowed me to envision the vistas. I can tell that the author did her research for this story. I enjoyed the facts sprinkled throughout the story about the national park. I liked the main characters, Kate Cunningham and Grant “Coop” Cooper. Maisie, Coop’s granddaughter, was a delight. Her joy was infectious, and she added humor to the story. Frankie, a teenage intern for the summer, was an interesting character as well.

The mystery added another layer to the story. I wish identifying the guilty party had been more of a challenge. Romance was in the air at Grand Teton. Sparks fly between the main characters, but the road to happiness is a bumpy one. I liked that there was a romance between an older couple as well as a youthful crush. I did not find it difficult to follow the various storylines. It did take me a little bit of time to get involved in the book, but, once I did, I could not wait to see how everything turned out. The book has a satisfying ending. In Capture the Moment, the author blended mystery, romance, nature, and faith into one picturesque story.
