ARC Review: Personal Assets by Kelsey Browning

Personal Assets is the debut contemporary romance from Kelsey Browning. This is the first book in her Texas Nights series, and I thought it was a really great start for her. This book was fun, entertaining and absolutely hot! It's not very often that you find a book that can have you laughing out loud one minute and then fanning yourself the next, but Browning definitely accomplished that with this one. I loved Allie and Cameron, but I also thought that the secondary characters were fabulous as well. I am really looking forward to reading the rest in this series.

Cameron returns to his home town after buying a garage so that he can start his dream business of restoring cars. He is also looking to settle down and find a girl that he can spend his life with. He never expects that they town princess could be the one he is looking for. Allie Shelby might have grown up the town princess, but she is nothing like Cameron remembers. Now a sex therapist, Allie uses her education to help the women of their small town achieve happiness. She decides that in order to really help her clients she needs a little more hands on experience, and Cameron is the perfect choice for her no-strings relationship. As the two begin to see each other, it is impossible for either of them to keep things strictly physical even though neither one wants to admit this to the other. But when her business runs into trouble, Cameron offers to help her and explains how he feels. Tired of letting men run her life, Allie goes out of her way to show Cameron that not only is she not the princess he thinks she is, but that she is a grown woman and is capable of taking care of herself.

Cameron is hot and has that whole bad boy thing going on, all the while being sweet and caring. He sacrificed so much for his mom and brother after his dad left when he should have been enjoying being a kid. He was impossible not to love! Allie at first glance seems to be the princess Cameron describes her as, but underneath she is anything but. I really enjoyed getting to see Cameron discover that she was different than he though. Allie was sweet and loyal and determined. I thought it was really great to see that she went out of her way for her friends, even if the decisions she made were not the best. Cameron and Allie couldn't have been more different, but they definitely proved why opposites attract and they were beyond perfect for each other. The chemistry and sex between them was smoking hot and I loved those scenes, but I also loved the witty banter they shared!

Overall, this was an amazing debut for Kelsey Browning and her Texas Nights Series. Cameron and Allie were so believable and real and I couldn't put this one down. I am really excited to see where she takes this series, and I really want to read Jamie's (Cameron's brother) story! He really grabbed my attention and I can't wait to see where he ends up. This book is one you definitely won't want to miss, especially if you are a contemporary romance fan.
