What are some good romance novels for late teens to adults, with women disguised as men?

doesnt matter how cheesy or cliche, just a real fan of the gender pretender genre after reading some manga like hana kimi and films like she's the man.What are some good romance novels for late teens to adults, with women disguised as men?
"From this Moment on" by Lynn Kurland (http://www.lynnkurland.com/books.html)




I dont know if this counts - but its a man who pretends to be a women (but he doesnt want to dress up as a woman he sort of has too - so he's an unwilling transvestite) Its called "Number Ten" and it is by "Sue Townsend." If you like the "Adrian Mole" books then you'll lov this (same author and same style). If you havent red the Adrian Moles then as long as you like crude funny books you'll like it. :) What are some good romance novels for late teens to adults, with women disguised as men?
Oh, you'll love Star-Crossed, by Linda Collison. One of the best books I've read. It's going to be a trilogy and it's about Patricia who dresses up as a man and gets on this boat to go get her inheritance. Well, she meets this one sailor on the way and they like each other. He later finds out she's a woman, and well...you'll have to read it to find out what happens. It's really good.



Then there's Girl in Blue. It's also a good book. It's by Ann Rinaldi and it's also Historical Fiction like the aforementioned. It's about Sarah and she dresses a boy to enter a war.



Check them out.



Good luck!
Ashes in the Wind by Kathleen E. Wooddiwiss. This is a historical romance about a girl in during the civil war who is in some trouble with the law. She poses as a young boy and she works with a surgeon to clean the hospital. This is one of my favorite books by this author. It's probably about 600 pages, but i read it it 2 days, so it's deffinitely a page-turner. I highly recommend this book as well as A Rose in Winter by the same author. I know you'll enjoy it. :)What are some good romance novels for late teens to adults, with women disguised as men?
Well, not exactly Manga, But Terry Pratchett wrote a discworld book where the lead character had to disguise themselves as a man. It's called 'Monstrous Regiment' and is available on amazon quite cheaply - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0060013168/?t鈥?/a>



I found it quite an entertaining read.
Tipping the velvet by Sarah Waters

I read it when I was about 12 or younger but it certainly an adult read and includes cross dressing

and

Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett- Absolutely brilliant!
'No Bed for Bacon' by Caryl Brahms and S J Simon. Think 'Shakespeare in Love' but much better! With a girl pretending to be a boy so she can join Shakespeare's Theatre Company (Where the boys act the female parts!)
not quite a novel but a classic none the less, Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
