Wild Beauty

I received this book in an Owlcrate. I have to admit it isn't one I would have chosen myself. The first third of the story dragged for me, but it became a bit more interesting with the appearance of a character with a mysterious background. This wasn't a bad story, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.
From the flap:
For nearly a century, the Nomeolvides women have tended the grounds of La Pradera, the lush estate gardens that enchant guests from around the world. They’ve also hidden a tragic legacy: if they fall in love too deeply, their lovers vanish. But then, after generations of vanishings, a strange boy appears in the gardens.
The boy is a mystery to Estrella, the Nomeolvides girl who finds him, and to her family, but he’s even more a mystery to himself; he knows nothing more about who he is or where he came from than his first name. As Estrella tries to help Fel piece together his unknown past, La Pradera leads them to secrets as dangerous as they are magical in this stunning exploration of love, loss, and family.
