CAPTURE THE MOMENT by Suzanne Woods Fisher, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney

NATIONAL PARKS SUMMERS #1
A Clean Sweet Summer Romance Novel with a Park Ranger and a Wildlife Photographer in Grand Teton National Park

REBECCA'S REVIEW:
". . . Kate had set her sights on capturing a unique photograph of the world's most famous bear. . ."

Utilizing her vacation time, zoo photographer Kate Cunningham travels to Grand Teton National Park on a personal pilgrimage to further her career by capturing a uniquely framed photo of Grizzly Bear 399. Having absolutely no experience with wildlife photography, she is hoping that her new camera, careful study of the park guidebook, and a significant dose of luck will provide her with just the right image to garner the attention of a national publication.

High school biology teacher Grant Cooper cannot wait to hit the trails of the Grand Teton National Park in his role as a summer ranger. The lovely inexperienced wildlife photographer is certainly eye-catching, but its her naivete that has "Coop" coming to Kate's rescue on more than one occasion. Then there are those other factors vying for his attention . . . like having to mentor an uncooperative teen-ager while keeping an eye out for poachers rumored to be roaming the park.

A perfectly timed intersection of events brings everything into focus, so to speak, in a grand display of reality vs. fakery, making this particular summer in the national park one to remember!

BackCover Blurb:
She's ready for adventure--isn't she?

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 clean, kisses-only contemporary romance and summer read by Suzanne Woods Fisher for wildlife, travel, and photography enthusiasts set in Grand Teton National Park.
