What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read these two books about three years ago, and I can remember neither the titles or the authors' names.. This is very frustrating since I'm dying to reread them.
Both Books are medieval romances.
The first book is about a warlord/knight who invades a castle and wins, and takes back with him to his home a woman. He arrives home while his wife is giving birth to his son, and the wife then dies in childbearing. The woman he captured then takes the boy and cares for him, and therefore the warlord assigns her as the baby's nurse. Then the warlord gets romantically involved with her, and I don't remember the rest but I know it has a happy ending. I think the woman was french or norman but I'm not sure.
The second book has a little bit of magic in it I think. It starts with people trying to burn a woman accused of being a witch. She then is saved by a warlord who came for her because he had a sick son and was told that she was a witch who can heal him. The woman doesn't believe herself to be a witch, she believes that she is merely a healer even though storms start when she is angry and rain comes when she is sad. She tries to heal the son and i think she succeeds. She gets romantically involved with the warlord sometime in the story and they have a happy ending though i think there was a fire or something, I'm not sure.
I would appreciate the help, I want to know the titles of these books... They are kind of haunting me..

Hmm... Is it possible the first book is The Conquest?

No :( the woman was never married before she met him.. And he didn't save her he kid of enslaved her, he took her from her home. Thanks though.

The book explores scientific method in a Medieval setting.

Happy to help. Best of luck with finding book 1.

Anyone knows what book 1 is?

I don't know if this will help, but I remember that at the beginning of the first book the hero doesn't shave, then after getting involved with the heroine he shaves for her and she discovers he has a cleft in his chin... And he wasn't planning on marrying her since his wife just died and his wife was kind of a bi*** and he promised himself he would never remarry..

The Love Knot?

What is bumping?

No unfortunately it is not... thank you anyway..
bumping is like a little nudge.

Bumping moves the thread to the top of the list where more people will see it.

How about The Witch and the Warrior by Karyn Monk?

Kris, yes, that is book 2 (see posts 4-5).

This is why we really like to have only one book per thread...

Right...it's late, what can I say? :)

#1 could be The Perfect Seduction by Margo Maguire. One Amazon reviewer says: "In 1072 Castle Kettwyck, Kathryn de St. Marie hopes to marry for love until Scots led by Lord Ferguson raid the keep and kidnap her... At the same time, Edric's Norman wife Cecily is about to give birth though she does not want the child, hates her spouse and his people, and wants to go home... Edric takes Kate to his keep. Though he is wary of Norman women, he also finds he wants her. Kate thinks Edric is what she wants in a husband, but he loathes Normans and is married that is until he learns his wife died giving birth to his son Aidan who has no wet-nurse to care for him... Kate says she will stay until he finds a wet nurse then will continue to nearby Evesham Bridge Abbey as she cannot go home..."
