I didn't think that whole power of love thing was cheesy at all. For one thing, love is arguably the most powerful emotion. It gives mothers the strength to lift cars off their children. It pushes people to brave perilous journeys, as we've seen in both series. The Trojan War was basically started over a love triangle between Helen, Menelaus, and Paris. As a daughter of Aphrodite, Piper is able to tap into that incredible power to a greater extent than anyone else on the quest.
