Romantic Love #21
An anthology issue featuring four romantic stories: "Kissless Honeymoon" follows a newlywed bride whose controlling husband demands obedience and threatens to make her sorry, leading to a tense marriage that begins with a honeymoon devoid of affection. Another story depicts a woman named Fran who falls in love with Bob, a man who helps her become a radio singer, and she struggles to hide her deep feelings for him as he tutors her voice and writes a song for her. A third narrative, titled "Fatal Romance," involves a woman named Jane who becomes romantically entangled with a man named Dan at a cliff club graduation party, but their romance is complicated by Jane's protective friend Jim, who warns her that Dan's protective instinct toward him may be confused with love. The final story, "My True Love," is also represented among the anthology's contents as listed on the cover.
