YA fantasy with Non-Abusive romances (63 books)

Basically the title. Really sick of reading YA books with master-slave romances (*cough* Sky in the Deep *cough*) and really gross sexist men emotionally manipulating or physically abusing the woman and calling it romantic.

I don't mind if everyone is awful to everyone or its a twisted up thing a la the cruel prince, but please don't add any books to this list with like, alpha males with awful rapey vibes (looking at you SJM)
