We often have this same issue with Sacrificial Parry. We play that the character getting attacked always defends last, the others in turn order.
So if Alice, Bob and Carol go in ABC order and Alice gets hit, Bob gets the first chance to Block for her. If he successfully Blocks, that's that--proceed to the next attack. If he declines the opportunity to block or fails his Block, Carol gets the opportunity to use a Block.
Finally, should Carol fail or decline, Alice can defend normally.

This is also an issue with some Blocking spells.
