Tamora Pierce's Wildmage quartet has 15 year old Daine falling in love with 30 year old Numair (who loves her back). Although he does touch on the fact that it's disturbing and some people will have some very not-nice things to say about it (but Daine already got weird stuff said about her for being a wildmage and bastard child). But then, this is also a world where things are a bit more medieval and girls getting paired off in their mid-teens was not so unusual.
I do understand the disturbing factor of Claire's still being a kid thing (as well as the incest thing that's so dirty wrong hot) and have a certain level of disgust for the people who blatantly ignore that in favour of seeing the pairing they want. In any fandom where they pair a child with an adult, really. It's far more interesting to have the topic discussed and probably angsted over than to just pretend it's not an issue.
