I instinctively pronounce it [løv].
What about the e? If it was Swedish you would definitely not have a silent e, but I don't know if Norwegian might. (On the other hand it is spelled löve, not løve, so arguably Swedish rules should apply.)
I interpret it as English, except with a letter borrowed from other languages.
