Crossing the Line

Crossing the LIne by Cat Johnson
Part of the USMC series:

In this modern day tale of forbidden romance, can love conquer all?

Carrie Armstrong joined the Air Force seeking education, experience, and travel. What she didn’t expect to find was the one thing military rules clearly state she can’t have, Staff Sergeant Beau Adams.

Throughout the 14 years of his life that Beau has dedicated to the Marine Corps, he’s never had reason to regret his decision to make the military his career, until now, when loving Carrie, the only woman he can picture growing old with, could cost him his future.

What is A.I. Audio Narration? It's an artificial intelligence, computer narrated audiobook rather than a human narrated one.

Why would you want that? A few reasons why you might consider getting an AI audiobook are: 1) A human narrated version is not available (and will never be available) for that title. 2) For the visually impaired, the AI narration is better quality than having your device "Read Aloud" a Kindle book, and that is because the technology is better and the author has the opportunity to correct any computer mispronunciations before releasing the audio. 3) Generally, AI audiobooks are offered to readers at a lower price than traditional audiobooks. I've made my AI audiobook the same price as the eBook so the visually impaired can choose Kindle or AI Audio for the same out of pocket cost.

Why is AI Audio not available on Audible or the other audiobook sellers? It's still a very new technology.  Many vendors don't accept AI narrations, only human ones. Personally I expect that policy to change as AI technology improves and reader demand increases. For now, Google Play is the place to go. And I'm exploring listing them on Kobo as well.
