  We examine the accretion properties in a sample of 42 hard (3-60keV) X-ray
selected nearby broad-line AGNs. The energy range in the sample is harder than
that usually used in the similar previous studies. These AGNs are mainly
complied from the RXTE All Sky Survey (XSS), and complemented by the released
INTEGRAL AGN catalog. The black hole masses, bolometric luminosities of AGN,
and Eddington ratios are derived from their optical spectra in terms of the
broad H$\beta$ emission line. The tight correlation between the hard X-ray
(3-20keV) and bolometric/line luminosity is well identified in our sample. Also
identified is a strong inverse Baldwin relationship of the H$\beta$ emission
line. In addition, all these hard X-ray AGNs are biased toward luminous objects
with high Eddington ratio (mostly between 0.01 to 0.1) and low column density
($<10^{22} \mathrm{cm^{-2}}$), which is most likely due to the selection effect
of the surveys. The hard X-ray luminosity is consequently found to be strongly
correlated with the black hole mass. We believe the sample completeness will be
improved in the next few years by the ongoing Swift and INTEGRAL missions, and
by the next advanced missions, such as NuSTAR, Simbol-X, and NeXT. Finally, the
correlation between RFe (=optical FeII/H$\beta$) and disk temperature as
assessed by $T\propto (L/L_{\mathrm{Edd}})M_{\mathrm{BH}}^{-1}$ leads us to
suggest that the strength of the FeII emission is mainly determined by the
shape of the ionizing spectrum.
