Fay had no idea when her father was stripped of his uniform and taken from their family dwelling on the penal colony that he was innocent of all wrong doing and actually on assignment as an undercover Hunter.  As the family member of a fallen Hunter she has one week to decide whether to live among the free as a relative of a convict or follow her father into the penal colony that houses all convicts.  The night before her father was arrested Fay was caught unaware by Janus while she walked the streets alone without an escort.  Janus made it clear that he was more then interested in Fay as a woman, had made his intentions clear at the weekly gatherings, and was tired of waiting for her to submit to him.  Fay has been dreaming of, asking questions about, and fantasizing over Janus.  As interested in Janus as she is, Fay is unwilling to submit to anyone or live in a loveless mating.  Fay learned what true love was from her parents.  Fay’s dad loves her mother even in death. Fay wants nothing less then true love and for her partner to find worth in her.  She will settle for nothing less.  To Fay’s surprise when her father stepped outside their dwelling, he invited Janus inside and made it clear that he approved of Janus’ attraction to and courting of his daughter. 

Janus realizes that by Edric being gone Fay is in danger from younger, less honorable Hunters. Janus steps up his pursuit of Fay overwhelming by her senses and teaching her the ways of unchaste women. 

When they finally came together it was a compromise on each ones part.  Fay gave the submission that Janus craves and Janus accepts that Fay is only going to be submissive in the bedroom.  Now that Janus has Fay in his arms can he keep her there for life?  Will Fay choose to follow her father into the penal colony?  Can Janus claim Fay, heart and soul, convincing her that she belongs with him for life and that their relationship and love is more important then following her father? 

 
Janus’ Conquest is set in the same world as Talon's Trophy and Hawk’s Prey but can be read as a stand alone book.  Dawn Ryder takes you back to the Hunter Sphere in this erotic book of chase, evade, claim and conquer.  The budding love and emotions between her characters always jumps off the pages at you.  I enjoyed this fast paced story that had everything including in it including erotic love and exploration, suspense, and mystery.  This book will keep you entertained as you watch yet another Hunter claimed by his woman as he believes that he is the one doing the claiming.  Janus’ Conquest is a good book that you will enjoy even if you have not read Talon’s Trophy or Hawk’s Prey.
