I don't remember if anything by Collette was bdsm oriented. Also is Collette more explicit than you are looking for? Don't know what 'mom friendly' means.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Oh, and Pam Rosenthal's books written as Molly Weatherfield are also good, and less romancey.
I was going to recommend those, but they're pretty hard-core, and not at all romance-y. *I* love them because they're so damn word-nerdy and cerebral in addition to all the ponies (ponies yay!) and freaky shit, but I think anyone picking those up and expecting Fifty Shades of Fanfic is in for a big shock.
maybe John Norman novels would suffice?
I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Yeah, not even having read twilight, but having the misfortune of reading about a quarter of a Norman before throwing it against a wall, I doubt that Twilight or Twilight fan fiction is worse than Gor.

Because books.

Probably true, but I realized the others might not address the BDSM part, just the erotica part.

Which is cool, but also kind of weird to me.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Not sure this qualifies as literary, but I spotted this on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books: Three Way by the Sea. Were-dolphins. Gay were-dolphins.
Amy, be glad you didn't have to write the "cover copy" for this; you've been spared something.

I'm re-reading Mark Reads LotR, and I can't remember if he did the live blog of Return of the King, and I can't figure out where to look.

It was on Mark Watches. Spoiler warning: it destroyed him.
