I live in the US and I have never hears someone say "God's love" as an interjection or to express frustration. This might be more common in the UK or other speaking areas.
However you will commonly hear "For God's sake!"
Other similar interjections:
"For the love of God!"
"Mother of God!"
"Jesus Christ!"
"God bless it!"
"God damn it!" or just "Damn it!"
I would recommend avoiding using these, especially in public/at work/etc. There are plenty of Christians that would find these phrases offensive.

“Sake” means for the good of something, or for the advantage of something.
So when we say that we do something “for God’s sake” it means we are doing it to fulfill His purposes, or to glorify Him. But honestly, the term has become so commonly used as a profanity (a bad word, or using the Lord’s name in vain), that it has almost lost its original meaning.
Proper use example: We help those in need for God’s sake.
Vulgar use example: “For God’s sake John, hurry up and get in the car!”
