Casting introduces us to Steve and Zack. Fresh out of rehab, Zack is trying to be himself. He wants to take his life and his career as an actor in a new direction now that he has a different outlook in life. During a press junket, Steve watches as Zack rejects the advances of a producer he works with and sets off to make sure that Zack is not a threat to the producer or the show he is directing. However, Steve finds himself being drawn to Zack. He sees something in him that he can't resist and asks him out for coffee.And so it starts.The writing was very good. Although a short story, it managed to pack a lot of information and insight into both characters. I loved them. Steve, the strong Dom with an honest heart and a sexy body in tight leather pants and Zack a tortured soul who usually keeps to himself but opens his heart and soul to Steve. What's not to love?I appreciated that Liz Borino developed Steve and Zack's relationship slowly. It would have been hard for me to accept the pairing if they didn't communicate so much from the start. I enjoyed their dialogue, the emotions they portrayed and the chemistry between them. But I especially loved how they talked honestly about their needs and their expectations. I think that gave them a solid start. After reading Casting, I totally fell in love with Zack and Steve.
