Well it depends on how you're talking about love. The feeling of love, similar to sadness or anger (although not exactly the same), is not a higher function. The development of the relationship with a person that yields a feeling of love, though, certainly involves the neocortex heavily, on account of the higher function processes needed to build and analyze a relationship. So love isn't a higher function; it is somewhat a byproduct of it.
