Gutter Love

Rate this book
Can two damaged people love one another? Meet Anastasia, a young woman raped by her father and turned on to the unforgiving Chicago streets into the world’s oldest profession. All she has in the world is her baby girl, and a mother that turned a blind eye to the abuse. When she can take no more, she runs away with little money and her daughter in her arms.

Milton, or “Gutter” as he’s known in the streets, is a mercenary, drug dealer, boss of a small clique of other damaged souls that he calls family. While moving about in back alleys and darkness in order to kill a man, he runs into the fleeing Anastasia and her child.

Milton recognizes her as another damaged soul. He sees more in Anastasia than she sees in herself. Most would see a scared young woman. Milton sees a kindred soul—a survivor. This is an Urban Love story about two damaged souls that find one another.

Awesome Read!

I really enjoyed this book! I would have given a 5 star rating had it not been so many errors. I Love GG and I hate the kind of person Anastacia is becoming! Overall, I think this is a book that
EVERYONE will enjoy reading. I just hate the very ending.

Great read, from rags to riches but at what price????

As usual Darrin Lowery along with T Diamond brought the suspense, the fire and the passion. I really enjoyed this novel, read it in a couple hours and can't wait for the sequel as there has to be one coming. My one and only complaint is editing is needed! We have to do as good a no as others in the industry and editing is very important. I give e a 5 star rating because the storyline was just that good but if I was reviewing as I have the rating would drop. I look forward to the next novel.

Used and abused mentally and physically Anastasia had enough. She decides to run away with her baby girl Ava from the hurt and pain. She accidentally runs into a young man name Gutta, he brighten her spirits and wants to help in any possible way because he know what its like to be damaged. Can a budding friendship can turn into something more for two damaged souls.

His book was great, it held my attention from the beginning. The characters were well developed which made the story flowed very well. Hopefully it will be a part 2

This story pulled me in from the first paragraph, I felt so bad for Anastasia ( Anna ), from Rags to Riches Story.
Gutter was her savior, both of them a had a wounded past. Just goes to show, your past won't dictate your future.

Can't wait for part 2

I really enjoy this story, I was pulled in quickly, my only regret was it had editing issue.

Great Job T. Diamond & Darrin Lowery

I Highly Recommend This Book!

Wow I really enjoy this book the lives that Anastasia, Cookie,and Gutter himself were all similar in the way that they were abused as children which also made them click they all were damage souls healing growing stronger to overcome their demons by Revenge.

Love this

This book was all to familiar I just don’t understand how the mothers can get off like that .. I too was raped by my step dad and if my husband touched my daughter it would be a different story than this ..

Great book!

This book covered a lot of topics. Loved the bond between Gutter and Ava. The ending was definitely not what I expected.
