I like the artist who did a few of the covers in this run before it moved to all photo covers.  Am I looking in the wrong place or is it possible that not a single copy of any issue in this 34-issue series has ever been graded? hm

I really like some of these drawn Ace covers too and this Complete Love is an excellent one. I just double checked the census and can't find any listed either. Very surprising. 

 

Here's a Love At First Sight with a cover by Alice Kirkpatrick (per GCD). The Complete Love doesn't have a cover artist listed but my limited eye would say it might be Kirkpatrick also. Love to hear other opinions.

That one is really nice.  First time I can recall seeing it.

You're on fire T. Cool books you've been posting!  

Thanks.  Romance books are fun and (for the most part) pretty cheap ... at least for now! :)

Crippen copy. She reminds me a bit of June Allyson. GCD says photo cover, but it's clearly painted.

Good call - definitely painted. Here's the May 1945 pulp featuring the same painting - one of my favorite romance pulps:

Though this one MAY be my favorite:

Very pretty cover. You don't see many female aviator covers. This is probably my favorite romance pulp.
